I wondered whether Sandhya is a clever, well rounded personality or just a bookish girl. That is some one who has mugged up well and scored well in exams. Is she a nerd who has achieved good marks but is so uncool. I mean we have all seen such species at college!

I wonder whether she is one of those annoying people we find in all colleges, trying to be teacher's pets, attending ALL lectures, making copious notes, spending all the time in the library and spending hours prepping.

She also strikes me as one of those people who join in on all the heavy committees about social work, joining "Lets clean Bombay" campaigns, who attend all the Independence Day and Republic Day parades and follow Gandhism.

I mean she does not strike me as some one who rides a scooter to College, or bunks classes to see films, let alone for a glass of beer or disco.

I bet she has not had a boyfriend in school or college. She also strikes me as those types who think romance and sex are sins!

I know she lives in Pushkar but I am sure most young college going girls in Pushkar/ Ajmer would be more rounded than Sandhya.

I mean at 20, almost every girl, rich or poor, can make a cup of tea. In this day and age, most girls have skills and talents beyond academic books.

Its not as if she is well read. I mean would you buy a Mills and Boon romance novel "Sharing Dreams" for what you think is an engineer/MBA or even your husband. Thank God Sooraj can't read English. Otherwise he would think she is bonkers.

And what I find disturbing is that the only time her eyes twinkle and face lights up is when she lectures people on their voting rights, anti corruption and dust bins. That to me is So Patronising.

Why oh why do they not twinkle and light up when Sooraj lightly brushes his hands against her or accidentaly touches her. And how could she not land a kiss on Sooraj's cheeks when she fell in his arms.

I am telling you guys our Snadhya is a nerd and needs to become cool very soon.

Are you not too judgemental about Sandhya?

On second thoughts, I feel you may be right in some way.

They should have shown Sandhya at college. With her friends. Watching movie with her bhabhi.

Not beer. But eating out with friends.

Yes, that is so true. She has such a poker face.

I cannot make out whether she likes Sooraj to hold her hand or whether she dislikes it or is shy.

If she really loves and respects him then surely she would reciprocate to him. Very strange.

Sorry forgot to add two things.

1. Sooraj was openly complimentary and gushingly said that Sandhya was beautiful. But our Sandhya was so "kanjoos" about saying that Sooraj was good looking. My dear Sandhya- Sooraj is more handsome than you are beautiful.

2. Why could she not hold his hand when following him . For Godsake, he was not going to jump on her!

Like I said, Sandhya get cool and stop being a baby.

Avidfan,
Again I dont agree with your all points, but definately a good post...
I think she was an intellgigent gal and mostly focused on her studies...She enjoyed a lot with her friends and did all fun with friends...But as she is from small town and study oriented, she havent done any fun which you are expecting...
She is just 19 and dont know making tea..its fine nobody is perfect! But she has the best gift of learning...She is smart and ready to learn new things...
You are right in saying that she havent seen much of world outside of her home and college...But soon she will experience that world and learn and then grow even higher ...
Yet She is not able to digest or dont know how to react to simple touches from her husband..She doesnt know abt love much till now, ...Sooraj's love will teach her that also. And once she learns how much she is in love with Sooraj...Then it will be difficult for anybody to stop her from loving him...
At least she is not blaming Sooraj for this marriage...she knows that its not his fault...she is respecting him for he is rather than his eduction..
.I have seen people who always blame others and escape...She is not blaming any1...she has decided to fight on her own and keep her husband happy in this journy and fulfill her dreams and find destination also...

I think her mother and bhabhi did not allow her to enter the kitchen at all. And Sandhya also might not have shown interest. It happens like that in some houses.

Many men learn to make something in the kitchen. for example, our own Sooraj.

Why is it annoying to be a good student? I fail to understand why being studious or not having a boy friend in college would make her less well rounded. Do you mean to say that girls who bunk classes and go out with their boyfriends are more rounded. At 19 years of age most girls have not seen the world and hence cannot be well rounded. You gain that with experience which Sandhya is getting aplenty in the Rathi household. As far as not being able to make tea, I don't think that is such a big deal. Sandhya has always been more into academics and detested household chores. Her parents did not want to distract her from her goal. Who knows if things went normal and her parents were alive, Sandy may have learnt cooking after her studies but fate intervened and she is forced to learn things fast and is doing a good job of it too. It is not necessary that everyone should know everything but one has to see whether a person is willing to learn the lessons life teaches them and become wiser and we see that Sandy is doing a remarkably good job at it.

As to romance, she will learn that too under the able guidance of her handsome husband who seems quite willing to wait.


To your topic, yes Sandy was single-minded in goal of becoming an IPS officer before marriage which made her focus more on academics and not bother with household chores but after marriage she has seen far more of life and is quickly learning to not only manage her marital house but also its quirky inhabitants. She takes every hurdle thrown her way as a challenge and is putting in her efforts to overcome them. This will stand her in good stead, especially when she goes through the rigors of training for IPS.

There is this other serial where the innocent looking wide eyed looking heroine does all those things like bunking classes, telling lies etc.

I prefer Sandhya to her who is sincere and more focussed. Once it was her studies and now household chores. and also learning things like making puppets etc. If this is not well rounded, then what is?

Sandhya is the perfect middle class girl whom every parent adores. Studious, sincere and when time comes adjusting.
