Knowing the evils of child marriage why would she want to feel accepted and validated by Singh's A's compensation for the accompanying trauma associated with the nullifying of her child marriage. Why can't she view the child marriage and trauma as a poison that has been removed in order to save her childhood from the life of a child bride?

Tinoo,

Looking purely at the topic from an Anandi point of view A's opposed to a Gauri point of view and judging from today's episode with Anandi's speech to the panchayat members:

Doesn't it indicate that she feels unfullfilled professionally despite the recent successes she counted off for everyone because of her personal loss. In her tirade, one cannot help but feel for her because she is lonely. She needs someone to lean on, she looks for support, she also yearns for that confidant that she so recently lost. What is success, if you don't have someone to share it with? From that POV, Gauri is the luckier of the two and she does not even value it.

Good observation Parri !


It is true - watching a beautiful movie or reading a good book is half the fun if u can't talk to a special someone about it. And the same with Anandi. Sha has no one to share her joys with and to lean on when she is feeling alone.

Gauri has her parents right there and her work and a loving husband and his baby in her. Despite all this - she can only see the part that J's family don't adore her as much.One wonders - is this what's called half-empty ?

Anandi has J's family and she's glad about it, but she is so very alone in herself ! and despite this she bravely puts on a smile and greets each new day with all her will power to see if she can do something good for someone today.

Have never seen Anandi crib about - "am so tired I can barely stand and u can't even offer me water ?".



Goo dposts above!!! Why can't she just thank God (if not Bhairon) that she was saved from this child marriage? Why insist on acceptance????

No one is asking her to be grateful to Bhairon. She has got her husband...why the hell can't she move on ?

Gauri doesn't seem to believe in 'Live & Let Live"

Well, we always expect every1 to behave sensibly don't we? In this case, it IS Anandi who is sensible & Gauri who is not...then why is it wrong???

The glass incident was just an example dude!!! Don't take it literally. What she meant to say is that Gauri doesn't try to seek satisfaction in what she HAS...she keeps running after what she feels she SHOULD HAVE got! On the other hand, Anandi tries to improve her life keeping in mind wheatever she is left with

this is the problem ,we always measure ,we always compare anandi s situation with gauri n then see what is missing in anandi s life and see that it is with gauri ,basically we are just looking wat is less in anandi s life ,its like there are poor people and rich people ,poor people feel that rich people are so happy becoz they do not face lot of financial problems .see from anandi s angle gauri has everything but in reality or from gauri s angle is that enough?see everyone has different set of expectations in life ,we all have different needs ,if we talk about problems ,gauri and jagat are having so many problems right now ,wether its financial or personal ,most of the financial problems become the reason of personal problems in sense arguments ,fights.i feel this is best period of anandi s life and she should enjoy it to the fullest.this is bright phase of anandi s life and dark phase of gauri s life.

Gauri's dark phase began as soon as she opted to marry dhokebaz J... Otherwise, who doesn't love gudiya?
Will you, in her place take such a hurry decision for urself knowing all the facts about J(he married A & bluffed G n A for 5 yrs)being a major?

IF LOVE IS BLIND...LIFE WILL BE DARK

When people marry for love - there are those where not even one set of parents agrees. Even then couples do it and eventually make efforts to reconcile with their parents.

Here one set of parents was agreeable and is still with them. The other set was never even consulted and is getting yelled at every now n then for not accepting the marriage (I'll call it elopement) full heartedly.

Then we talk about bechari so and so. Sach hai - Gauri is the true bechari.

Are you really serious?????

Lets go back a few years...Gauri was being ostracized by the society at large, she & her parents were struggling to even settle down in a village, financial troubles were always there, Gauri was still under the trauma of the child marriage incident, future was a question mark etc. Anandi was happily married, her husband & best friend was madly in love with her...so much that he was not speaking to his DS coz he believed she was the cause of Anandi being sent away from him, she had a live most girls would envy, there was nothing but happiness in her future as far as she could see.

Cut to the present now...Gauri has fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a doctor, she has got married to the man she loves and who loves her back, she is carrying his child inside her and if they decide to be sensible, they will spend their entire life together & happily so, obviously with the regular ups & downs! Anandi on the other hand, is alone, lonely, her husband has left her for another woman, she has no children and at the age of abt 25 she faces the prospect of living alone all her life...family cannot be a substitute for a partner...future doesn't seem too bright!

Right now, if you ask me, Gauri's life is like the rising sun (if she chooses to make it) while Anandi's life is pretty bleak though she is trying all she can do to make it bright
.

I personally feel, it is easier to deal with losses & trauma at a younger age...the older you get, the more you understand the implications & so it becomes that much more difficult.

In what respect can you say this is the best phase of Anandi's life & worst of Gauri? Yes, if you are considering only familial & societal acceptance as the only yardstick...then I really don't know what to say!

It depends on people's perspective or mindset. Life is not that complicated its us who make it complicated. If a person wants to be happy he or she will try to think what he or she have and not what they donnot have . This is the case with G and A. Gauri keeps yarning what she donnot have this and that even though she knows the reason. If she would have tried to concentrate on the things which she have she would have been much happier and also there would have prospect of her being accepted in future by J's family only if she had not over reacted on every and each incident.
Anandi on the other hand tries to do what is actually very hard to do. Smile to please others even though she is suffering with the feeling of loneliness and undeserved. But she sees things considering what she have, what she can do and what she should do.
After spending half of ones life with a man ( husband) with no child and then left for good is very hurting.
