Ya another similarity...
We younger generation is sometimes so stubborn that we see black and white in things and refuse to see the grey..
ya me included..for me also 'men-women' and their place in society is a huge issue..i think my first fight over this happened when I was a mere 13 year old.. I was practicing kick boxing (was a tom boy to boot then) using my younger bro as a height marker...n my paternal grand parents gave me a lecture on how girls' should not aim the foot at a man.. and i wrecked havoc literally, enough for my mom to lay down a rule to my paternal grand parents that in our home only the fact that I was elder than my brother would count when giving respect..and so u can guess how hard core believer of this i might be..
And i have a feeling CC is exactly like this..
but what she taught me over these episodes is this.. we might believe in something, and intelligently too we might know we are correct and the other person is wrong in his/her belief..
but give and take is part of life..
you do not have to change ur own beliefs, but for peace of existence you can change urself a little bit..specially for the sake of the people you care about..
see men leaving dirty plats for a woman to wash 'just cz she was a woman and he was a man' would have gotten me hopping mad (brought up in a household where mom would give a whack if any of us left a dirty plate without washing it with our own hands the moment we finish eating) but she for the moment did not make a fuss..
Knowing what to talk and make an issue about at a certain moment..when to bide time...when to tolerate things for the time being and being patient instead of confronting straight away as the first instinct that comes..she taught me this too..
she believes this is wrong and eventually she will indeed tackle this..but right now she is intelligent enough to pick her battles..
See she does not believe in sari and pallu or clothes giving respect.. but for their happiness she gave in..
And thus she made a loved one happy (babuji) by respecting his POV. And in return when the moment came he respected her POV and allowed her to not wear a sari...
this is the lesson CC taught me 'argument may win the situation but lose the person' but sometimes seeing things from 2 side and bending a little would go a long way towards solving things..
thus my title to this post 'to be accepted, you have to accept'
For her POV to be eventually accepted, she first did things their way..But was rewarded for bending a little...
This show teaches us little things through such normal situations.. and i guess its doing a pretty good job when someone as stubborn as myself do feel the importance of the above said things...
