The 'Yayati complex' in IPKKND - Page 7

I definitely agree with you that the Mahabharata is beyond compare. One of the Greatest works (if not THE Greatest)- encompassing everything from political discourse, moral philosophy, social commentary and family dynamics..
Rajaji's marvelous work is particular favorite of mine, too. I would also recommend you check out the book 'Jaya' by Dr Devdutt Pattanaik, which explores some of the lesser known tales in the epic.

Any modern serial or novel can only aspire to emulate part of the epic's grandeur. To start off I just wish the makers of IPKKND could do justice to the interesting characters they have created! You are right, they have reduced Khushi's character to an absolute caricature now, similarly to what they have done to Anjali's portrayal. Similarly Arnav is sometimes reduced to being a one dimensional, delusional jerk!

Lets hope the plot and characterization improve!!

This is what happens when I don't check my PMs on time...I'm here 11 pages in! Loved your post RamnVij and you have created a great discussion.

My like button is broken hence writing to thank u for such an informative n insightful post! completely agree...that giving too much of urself all the time...even without being asked to do so...is often useless n goes against the person sacrificing. The consequences though not apparent initially can be quite devastating. But human nature is such that when one hears such incidents, you tend to glorify them. Worse still, if u receive the benefits of someone else's sacrifices all the time, u tend to take the other person for granted. Khushi is already in the doormat category...n she is not opening her eyes or learning from mistakes. sad...
