Till now, she has skillfully dodged the IPS conversation whenever anyone tried to make her realize her original goals, be it her friend Preity, or her Madam (DSP's wife). She realizes that she has little chance of pursuing her goals, but now as she receive praises and kudos from everyone for her involvement and successful thwarting of terror attack in Pushkar, she has a golden chance to tell her dreams finally, at least to Suraj. 😃
Prince Andrew said it, princess Diana said it and many eminent persons had said it time and again that "family is the most important thing in my life." As Robert Byrd, the late senator from W. Virginia once said, "One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me, will be my family." Sandhya, in a short time, bonded really well with the family. Last day, Chaturi too complemented Sandhya for her abilities to perceive the values & relations of family. 😃
When a family sends their DIL (like the Rathis will eventually do) out to IPS force to serve this great country, as few have done here and in other countries, knowing they may get killed, it seems that the family is putting country above family. Now, we can argue that the country we serve is ultimately there to serve our family, but still there are times when country comes first. 😊
Many people put their careers above their families, opting not to have a family, to curtail their families, or to work all week or for weeks on end without seeing their families. But then again, we work, ostensibly so that we can provide for our families. Yet do we sometimes put money and success above family? Do we sometimes overwork for someone supposedly so committed to family?
Then we have to ask, when we say that family is important to us, do we mean that the mere fact that we are related to such and such individuals is of paramount importance to us, or is it the relationship which we have with them which is so important? Do we mean that our time with our family is what is most important to us, or do we mean that we love our family very much?
And what is family? Is family a place where we and those related to us eat and live together, or is family a social group which shares some values? If anyone's brother is a murderer, a thief or an immoral individual, is he still part of that family? Is a family only about love or is a family also about shared values?
Family is as important as it gets, but when a family sacrifices one of its precious members for the cause of nation (as Sandhya will be dedicating most of her time for the country in a few years from now on), it goes from being a biological unit of bonds of self interest and love of self and people, to being a powerhouse of godliness and holiness. Family is so important and when family is directed toward goals, centered around values, when love of family is a model for and an inspiration for love of country, then the true power of family and the true meaning of family is unleashed as containing not just the fire of love but the power of a nation. Such families are an asset to the nation. ⭐️ ⭐️
So, Sandhya is still at the crossroads--> whether to serve her family full-time or to sacrifice a larger part of family life for serving the police force efficiently, and we all know, she will settle for the cause of police force & country in general, and Suraj will play a big role in helping her to achieve her dreams which she had been dreaming of since childhood. 😳
