Great post, but isn't this quintessentially DMG? The only relationship that seems to hold any sanctity (that too just about) is a mushy, pulpy Mills & Boon version of romance.....Absolutely. And from this situation in DMG , i have tried to highlight the fickleness and shortcomings of human nature. How we change with seasons and how easy it is to promise faith , trust and loyalty but fail miserably when the test of fire arrives. Even the MB version of romance in there is all pink fluff , no sound foundation and people fall apart at the slightest of arguments.
Friendships, in DMG, are based upon convenience and expediency and never really stand up to the test of exacting circumstances be it Sid or Armaan. I seem to remember, a sanctimonious Ridhima accused Armaan of getting bhang for Holi, getting Armaan into trouble, and not one of his so-called friends stood up for him. No one bothered to check whether he had or had not been responsible and declared him the culprit. And I can remember other occasions when his so-called-friends happily ditched him, only to re-unite as one happy family, ugh!👏......Bingo! That is one thing I have noticed right from Armaan to Sid. I will party with you, I will laugh with you , but when you land in deep shit , I will WAIT for you to come out of it and AAL IZZ WELL then.... damn! Does one really need that kind of seasonal friends?
So poor Sid should have been prepared for this! Yes, Yuvi-Naina-JP have history on their side in terms of the photographs incident, but for precisely that reason they should have stopped and questioned Ridhima's All India radio broadcast. The last time Ridhima cried 'wolf" over the snaps, didn't it turn out to be a half baked truth? Shouldn't they, therefore, stop to hear Sid's version of the story, esp Naina for whom Sid has always been there emotionally? Ironically, the only man who is even willing to give Sid a hearing is an outsider ' Jiggy - or perhaps that is precisely the reason why, because he's not been inflicted by a malaise that's Sanjeevani!......Well-said. But Sid should have seen it coming. They have behaved like this before. Or maybe he thought Yuvi would understand because it's Yuvi who took Sid back in the fold.His friends have fallen prey to suspicion , fine.... but yes, they have failed him.
But on a serious, real life note, yup, friends sometimes can do more damage than a betrayal from family can - simply because in case of family they are a given, you didn't have a choice, but with friends, you chose them!.....And I take that home with me. 🤗
