Thanks all. 'll not be able to post anything for another 6 hours.



edited part.

Addition to the original post.

<font size="3" color="#990000">a very good point raised...</font>

[DIV]<font size="3" color="#990000">actually d first time it hit me was when megha told mohan datamar didnt talk at all about his professional life...datdid sound weird to me...maybe bcoz i myself havent seen dose kind of couples around me...</font>

Exactly same was my point of realisation, but I was shocked and said to my self, 'is this what is great love, between the two unequals. In a couple individuals may have differential skills, capabilities, differences in earnings etc. But what maters most is how they treat each other in their own private world.

Treating equal would certainly mean you want to share your problems openly with the loved one. I think if any one of the couple decides to hide their worries, stresses and problems from the other partner would mean some compromise in the texture of their relationship.

Amar not sharing his work related, life threatenning stress with Megha may pass of in the traditional Indian marriages as Amar being very protective.He did not want Megha to be worried. He was so good, Mahan.

Ohhh ! Can't find any sense in this. Instead of being protective, don't you think it is not Amar being uncomfortable to share it with Megha. Love, between the life partners who are not interested in a break up will mean sharing of such important things.

Today I can say in Mohan's language, Megha ka haq tha Amar ke high level stress ko jaanane ka. Woh haq to use mila hi nahi.

This post is certainly not about anyone of us bashing Amar for what he was. But this is about understanding the different shades and traits of unequal relationships.

Many of us love Mohan, perhaps because he treats everyone equal. He takes his time to break the ice, kind of pacing himself into he situation, the same way he was initially observing the surroundings of the drug mafia dealers compound. The same way he paused before he shook hands with Nanhi after he helped her to place an ad.

He was able to see through the innocence of Nanhi, committment, concern and confidence in Megha and meanness of Renu so quickly and accordingly he just flows as the situation demands.

But behind his interaction with everyone lies that understanding to treat everyone on par. Though, he does enough of bossing around over Guru or his subordinates at PL.

Interestingly he has never treated Megha as his junior colleague. In the combined episode of NBT and Uttaran Mohan introduces Megha as his associate at PL and willingly gives his press card so that Megha can interview that woman in jail.

Their relation is indeed interestingly equal. In Megha's Bhopal home, it was Megha who gave the wooden stick to Ved, for Ved was about to rush to the police without any weapon. It was Megha who beats up the inspector with the frypan. :-) Megha saving Mohan and making their escape from that house possible.

Another thing I want to ponder over is Megha sharing about how she never learned to 'balance', (writers, was the pun intended by??), and hence never learn to ride a two wheeler. I am eager to see Megha learning to balance (assisted by... ;-) , yep, can sense its going to be sooner or later.

So much as an addition for now.

Just read your edited post Swati. One thing stood out to me, not agreeing with you there.

When you love someone, protective instincts come automatically.
I think, Mohan is protective about Megha too, just like Amar was or even if we leave off Amar, like 50 or 60% of hubbies are.

Mohan also does not want to worry Megha

Mohan Hid from Megha all about the investigation and Ramnathan
Told Nanhi, more than once, not to tell Megha.
Neither about Ramnathan, nor about Nanhi's kidnap (which Megha had a right to know on that very day itself)

Being protective about someone doesn't necessarily mean that you are treating him/her as your unequal or weak-hearted. Protectiveness comes from an instinct to save your beloved from all the worries. This instinct accompanies love itself, most of the time.

Mohan only revealed all to Megha, when he had no other options/avenues for investigation left. He thought he had little chance of coming out successful in the BHOPAL house search but with Megha, chances of success were bound to increase so that's when he revealed all about the investigation to Megha.

So even Mohan too hid important/scary details from Megha just from his sentiment of saving Megha all the worry.

Thanks for your post Swati.

Fariha dear, I have no problem with people in love being protective of each other. It is an inseperable part of being in love.

In the same post I have appreciated Megha protecting Mohan from the police in her house and making their exit possible. And how can one forget Mohan protecting Megha from Pracreep or he lieing to Ved after he and Renu see them all getting out of the taxi, returing from the farmhouse? Oh, those were beautiful ways of being protective, while falling / being in love.

How are we otherwise able to be sure for Megha already in love with Mohan? She is taking her time to accept it to herself that her feelings for Mohan are not just care or friendship, but it is indeed love. We know this because she is being protective about Mohan in the last friday's shoot out of star reporter episode. Or even the day before as his fingures get hurt by the tip of his pen.

You are so right, Mohan is indeed protective about Megha and disclosing Amar's case was also about his professional integrety as well. As a mater of fact a crime reporter may have to keep such a sensative story top secret. At the same time he rightly did not want to make Megha tensed about it.

As he knew if he would disclose it only to her, or to everyone in front of Pracreep, on that night, that would actully put them all in danger. He also knew that once every one comes to know about it in the world, no one can harm Megha or any one from her family.

But here again I see the difference in Amar and Mohan. Amar kept Megha totally out of reach of his stress at work and that gave her a shock of her lfe time after Amar's death. She was left with no clue to prove him innocent.

Had there been sharing, from time to time, had she and Amar maintained copies of the papers Amar actually signed, she would have given them to the inquiry committee in the court. Which would contradict Mohan's records, which were fabricated documents supplied to him by Dinanath.

All I want to say is not sharing an information, without knowing which might be life altering for worse is not a nice idea.

But not sharing an information, temporarily, without sharing which would save the loved ones from trouble in the immediate future and when the time comes sharing that info brings a great joy, relief and peace to your loved once is pretty sensible thing to do.

By the way, I would never say that an equal relationship has no room for parters being protective of each other. It shall be used by them, so shall they use sharing or not disclosing something for sometime in order to be protective.

E.g. One partner knowing that the other has very little time left in life and this info is shared after a time lag, without compromising on immediate medical treatment, before sharing this info they both are able to grab few good moments of their togetherness.

This is something which I would certainly do.

In fact did it for once of my uncle.

We were close to each other. He was a widower and childless and was a heart patient. For last 6 months of his life he came to stay with us, i.e. My parents home. He was my dad's eldest brother.

About 10 days before he died, I had taken him to his cadiologist, I was already a lecturer then but was not married, so grown up. The cardiologist described to us that he may live like this for few more months but at the same time there is no guarentee that he shall be able to get out of his clinic and reach home safe.

My uncle asked me not to disclose the doctor's remark to anyone else at home, in front of the doctor. He agreed to take all the medicines on time. But he also clearly told the doctor that he would like to eat one sweet dish of his choice once every day for as.long as he is going to survive. He accepted all other diet restrictions and followed it till the last day. He also accepted my decision to choose the amount of that sweet dish he would eat.

This secret was our special bond, me disclosing that would mean me depriving him of his joy. He had very little desire to live longer, he used to hate it to live without his wife who had died about 2 years ago of utrine cancer.

All he really wanted was to share the sweet dish of his choice with every one in the family and our dear neighbours. Those last few days of his life were emotionally very fulfilling to him and all of us. We were so happy to see our uncle as jolly and happy, full of life as he was earlier. I certainly was protective about his feelings, his desires as well as his health. Sharing the info with others at home would mean hurting his wish, which would put him in shock and may lead to his end.

I completely understand about our desire to protect our loved ones and they may or may not be your romantic partners. In case of romantic partners the instinct to be protective is much more strong.

I hope this sorts out some of the mess my impulsively editing that post has created.

Looking forward to your detailed comment Fariha.

Sitamma1, take your time dear. We all have work, home pressures and yet we want to ponder over issues raised or coming out of our dear NBT.

Oh Swati thanks for such a detailed comment explaining your point of view but yaar, I think my mind's screw has gone loose somewhere. Even after the above detailed explanation of your's, I still don't agree with you totally. Like some bits you have mentioned about the protectiveness to save your loved one from hurt, temporarily, makes sense. You are very clear there but what I don't agree with is all about Amar's protectiveness vs Mohan's.

Firstly, Amar didn't have a life-threateningly fatal disease, which he had knowledge of, and even then he chose to hide his worries and stress from work and didn't deliberately share it all with Megha, knowing all the time that he's going to die.
NO!! He didn't know he was going to die, contrary to that, he had compiled enough evidence to clinch the DN case but he hadn't imagined that DN would do something as low and thug-like, as shoot him right in the office, with his own hands.
And don't get me wrong here, I am in no way in favor of or supporting such married couples who don't believe in hiding their work stress and related worries from their partner. I wouldn't like if my hubby does that and i know he wouldn't like it if I stop sharing details of my work with him.

What we are talking about is Amar and Mohan. Can't say much about Amar as he's dead, we haven't seen him but only know him from his family members' memories. So except for speculating, we can't do anything.
But Mohan ka mujhey pata hai naa? Mohan, I have seen and I know very well. Not telling Megha wasn't at all about his professional integrity, if it would have been then he shouldn't have kept Nanhi updated about it too. A child, no matter how mature and how much a best friend, is the least favorable person to tell about a sensitive case. When he didn't believe in telling Megha then why Nanhi?
So you do accept that it was out of his worry but then I don't agree again. (lol Swati, sorry for eating up your mind with this discussion, but this point is pretty much jarring my senses lol)

I don't agree where you say that Mohan saved Megha the worry, knowing it in his mind that it's only temporary and ultimately it would have come out. What is concerned here is not about the case and it's success, which obviously was all for Megha's benefit and she would have come to know about it, I accept. What we are talking about is that Mohan didn't CHOOSE to tell her HIMSELF, at multiple points in the story, just to save her the worry. Now Mohan's profession is one hell of a risky one, CRIME REPORTING is, as we all know, is very very dangerous and one's life can never be guaranteed especially in our subcontinent. There's so much shady activities that go on and so many reporters get kidnapped and removed from the phase of the earth, all secretly. KNOWING all that, Mohan didn't tell Megha. What if he got killed in between, where would that have left Megha?? In the same situation that she was left in when Amar died, right? It's the same situation because, in amar's case too, ramnathan knew the details and in Mohan's case, Karan and Nanhi would have known about the details.

So??? What's the difference? Purpose of all my typing is that, a normal, healthy person, irrespective of his profession, does or might choose to hide some serious details from his work life, from his partner, thinking that it's all for the good of the partner. After all no healthy person expects to die just like that. So we don't know, maybe Amar too had planned to tell Megha about it all when he finished compiling the proofs but he didn't get a chance.
