hi shanthi..

this open letter to Ram Kapoor is as necessary as the one angie has penned to ms..whatever she wants to call herself/sharma, kapoor. I really wonder if the idiot CVs are aware that these 2 characters have been unequivocally accepted as representative of the modern middle aged Indian couple by audiences across the board!!!

If I may, i too shall write a letter to Ram..

Dear Ram Kapoor,

This is one of your most ardent fan writing to you to find out if you still are the same man I fell in love with a year and two months and fifteen days ago' When I saw you in the conference room blitzing Narang for being a bad businessman.. I was like ' finally a guy who knows what he is talking about and not just acting like a tycoon' you were THE Ram Kapoor in full form' then within a matter of minutes you changed from tycoon to responsible son and loving brother and the change was so seamless that you made me your ardent bhakt at that moment' By the end of one week of seeing you show emotions ranging from wonder, anger, introspection and blind brotherly love, I fell in total, stupendously implicit love with you. As the weeks went by and you displayed that you were just like any other guy with all the faults and foibles that make guys up, I was steadily getting entrenched in your life' Your marriage to Priya and the subsequent adjustments that you made and the slow realisation of your love for each other was a journey that I enjoyed incredibly. The way you stood by her at real times of distress and the support you provided to her and her family endeared you to my heart like nothing else did' really I did not think that any one other character has so impress me. Another fact that made me think of you as an ideal human was your ability to apologise if you realised that you were wrong' you had an ego but that never ever came in the way of you being a good man. When you changed to become the man your wife wanted you to become but still maintained your business persona I was greatly impressed at the balance you were able to maintain. All that changed within a span of weeks and suddenly you were beset with problems galore which still confound me'

Over the past few months I have seen you struggle with grief, despondency and betrayal and you have tried to come to terms with what life has dealt you. I have understood that you have taken the lessons of love that Priya taught you to heart and that you have decided to make everybody the recipient of that love. All that is well but this is where the identity of the character that I fell in love with has gotten lost' I do not understand why you are behaving the way you are doing' and most importantly I do not understand the decisions you have taken in the name of your love for Priya.

My primary question to you is about your supposed marriage to your sister in law- Ayesha. How do you justify the decision of marrying her? Your half- baked explanation that you wanted to provide her with the protection of your name and that it also saved you from the pressures of your family to remarry' Please will you tell me if YOU believe in what you said' did you really think that your family would have pressured you to remarry knowing full well that you still love Priya whole heartedly?? And since when have you taken upon yourself the mantle of "MAHANTHA" ' Are you so nave that you cant see that your goodness is being taken advantage of' What was Priya's final drama all about? She wanted to show you that your family were taking advantage of you and that your implicit belief in them was misplaced ' right. And you have allowed not only your family but Priya's family too to leech off you?? What is really wrong or is there some other equation that misses my comprehension!!

If your life in Mumbai is a mystery to me and your relationships there are puzzling, I do not understand what the equation of your relationship with one Mr. Rajat kapur is ' You want him to have a great life and experience love like you did with Priya and that wish is very understandable given your genial nature now. But you have not met the elusive Ms Pooja sharma have you? So how have you decided that she is the perfect partner for Mr Kapur? Do you think that all single women are out to get married or that they are on the constant look out to hitch themselves again? Do you think that a child like pihu will be happy in the care of a person like Rajat kapur? Maybe you do not know this because the khadoos has not displayed it in front of you, but he is a man who looks after his ex lover's children so that they remind him of their mother's betrayal.

These are the two issues that are rankling in my brain and refusing it to settle down in acceptance of your new avatar. There are a few others too but they pale in to insignificance in the face of these two. So please will you explain your present standis loci and put me out of my misery.

PS: I love the old ram Kapoor' still do ... he was a person and also kindly note that "MAHANTHA" does not suit you at all. You look awesome but you are presenting a shell, I want to see you whole!!!

Does it hurt you that Peehu does not have dad around? Do you realize that Peehu is not at all attached to Rajat? Just because you learnt Pooja is single (and not married as corrected by Rajat) you think she can be easily approached by Rajat? Why? You are willing to help out Peehu and her mom in their financial mess, but have you realized how insecure they might be feeling mentally? Please think and try to find out.

FANTASTIC... Yes Ask the man to sit down and start thinking about this. Why is a woman OK to be approached only cuz she is single? Doesn't her feelings matter? Have you attempted to ask Pihu"s mom as to how she feels? if she is ready for this relationship that you are egging Rajat on for?

Why would you not be eager to meet the mother of a child that you have grown to love so much? does it not bother you that you have not met this "stranger"??
