In a largely traditional society like that of India, a woman plays a pivotal role in determining the kind of life a family leads inside the house. She sets the tone of conversation, the temperature of the curry , the length of the daughter's hemline😃, colour of the walls and everything in between. Of course, there are instances of mother-in-law taking all these decisions, but then again, she is a woman too . Girls of cultured, loving families are brought up with the understanding that they will one day go into a new family and imbibe the sanskars (traditions) of their adopted families and do their utmost in promoting and perpetuating them. They are expected to adapt and adopt and then slowly, if need be, introduce new ideas/practices.Though our Arpi's Dad is by no stretch of the imagination a cultured person, her mother is all this and more. Her one lesson to her daughter is to safeguard the man -maryada of the Thakur family, now that Arpi is a part of it. So Arpita has made the journey from an innocent yet determined girl to a young wife, with all these values and directions firmly in place. Despite the gravest of accusations and severe tongue-lashings from BJ, she has not once retorted or raised her voice. She has met all the challenges put in front of her, despite all odds, successfully.The one place where she draws the line and gets into arguments, is with her husband's violent lifestyle. But again, here too, her intention is simply to ensure his well-being: both physical and spiritual. In normal, real life, a young wife wouldn't be required to reform her husband in such a dramatic fashion, but in our story, Arpi feels the need to guide Avi away from the path of violence and crime and into a life of a normal, landed young man. And she goes about accomplishing that in her trademark intrepid way, uncaring of others' opinion.But this is not all, life leads Avi and Arpi on a treacherous journey, fraught with dangers every step of the way and yet Arpi never loses heart, her faith unshakeable. With the help of all sorts of machinations and schemes, many totally alien to her belief system and values, Arpi ends up being the saviour.............she saves Avi's life more than once and then commits the mortal sin of murder (or so she thinks) just so her husband can live.Whether her tortured soul will be enough to convince Avi to embark on a path of moral redemption, remains to be seen. But Arpita has done her due and then some and can safely be considered a hero in this tale of crime and love at crossroads.She is truly a super-woman.I have seen two very strong women at close quarters in my life and take the way they have lead their lives with grace and courage, to be my guiding light.Once again Prash, thanks for the lovely topic that is so close to my heart😊Vista
