Hi DABH-ians!

As i was reading today's episode summary I just had thought about how this separation from RM is really good on multiple levels for Sandhya and Bhabo.
Bhabo's biggest problem or her biggest concern about Sandhya being too educated or becoming a working professional - IPS etc is that she will not be a proper homemaker. By spending time involved with the world outside, she won't have the time or the inclination to be the perfect homemaker - caring for members of the family, cooking, cleaning, etc.
We all know that Sandhya is a good person, she cares for members of her family, she's honest and noble, doesn't walk away from her responsibilities and is not conniving like Meena. However she's spent her entire time at her parent's place in her academic world - with no time or interest in homemaking activities. Likewise at RM - she's been guided by Bhabo - even in today's episode at the market she ended up copying Bhabo's grocery list verbatim - its probably coz she didn't have the sense to realize Bhabo is shopping for a family of 10 (Bhabo, Babasa, Vikram, Meena, Kahna, Mohit, Emily, Chavi, Chaturi, Chotu) and ideally she'd only need to buy 1/5 of Bhabo's list for herself and Suraj. So by being away from RM - Sandhya will have to figure out on her own, how to run a household, manage her time and make sure she gets her studying in.
Likewise I hope Bhabo also takes this time away to realize, how caring and honest Sandhya has always been towards everything, especially her relationships with members of the family. I also hope Bhabo opens her eyes and actually does something about Meena and her evil nature. Bhabo is aware that Meena is very narrow minded - she is always looking out for her best interest, not the family's, she's stingy and opens her mouth at all the wrong times to add more fuel to an already burning fire. Bhabo really needs to openly teach her a lesson.
I don't think Suraj thought about this time away to also be a crash-course in home sciences and home management for Sandhya but it sure is a healthy bi-product of the situation. Maybe when Bhabo sees Sandhya is actually capable of managing both the home and her work life - she'll be more receptive to Sandhya's dreams.
What do you guys think?

Very nice post .. I completely agree with whatever u said .
This is the best way to learn , U do make mistakes try again and then gain perfection . When a girl like Sandhya tries something new all on her own , she is bound to do such silly things. A good track I must say .

Nice post. Sandhya not being able to calculate that Bhabo is buying for the whole family is something I thought was pretty dumb for a girl who has been shown to be of an above average IQ. Be as it may the initial few episodes will be devoted to SurYa missing Bhabo more then the other way round. Bhabo has her son staying bang opposite so when ever her maternal instincts surface she will satisfy those cravings by looking at him through the window. Bhabo's objection to Sandhya's IPS is not so much about her inability to manage on both fronts but more to do with the breakup of her closely guarded joint family and her son being treated inferior to her DIL. She has said it time and again that she cannot bear to see her family break up and her son facing a traumatic future. The breakup has happened even before IPS so her fears will be even more intense. Agar IPS se pehle yeh haal hain IPS ke baad kya...Bhabo is very very stubborn and to see a change in her you need a shocker. Sandhya managing the household for about 15 days without going out to work is hardly going to prove she can manage on both fronts.

yes uma aunty,i too find it very absurd that sandhya still cant buy groceries. She might not know the exact estimation,but she could have bought a kg or so,kam pad gaya toh she can buy again. That is sheer stupidity on her part.
i dont agree with the fact that an educated girl should find such things tough. I am a student myself and i dont have a husband like suraj who would do everything for me written in my future (?). So i will learn everything to make myself self dependent. Same applies for boys of my age group.
eventually,Sandhya will succeed as she is the lead,but it is hard to digest that she is still lagging behind in such works.
she could have done well with a little usage of grey matter.

Nice post. Under Bhabho, Sandhya would have remained comparatively clueless in the kitchen. Bhabho, well, she already knows everything about her children. This separation may make her rise above her ego to acknowledge it. We have to wait and see. A welcome break indeed!

Yes Sandhya will learn to manage household. That's the best part of it. Bhabo will also know what Sooraj was when she goes to ask Vik money.In today epi Meena was trying as much possible not to give money.
It will be an eye opener for Bhabo to understand that her power in RM is because of the respect and love her elder son showered on her and he was the family ATM. Without him she actually has no power as she doesnt have any money of her own.
It will be an eyeopener for Sooraj also to understand how dumb Sandhya is when coming to household things. He also needs to understand that there is some truth in his mother's words that his beendini cannot manage home. So let him support her to make her efficient in that department too 😃
