Hi all. Just came across the concept of emotional bank account today, and that reminded me very strongly of Anandi and Gauri. So thought of sharing it here😊 Two balika vadhus, and their approach so strongly connects to this concept.
Emotional bank account is a metaphor for the amount of trust that exists in a relationship. Deposits build and repair trust in relationships. Withdrawals break down and lessen the trust in relationships.

Deposits

Withdrawal

Seek first to understand

Assume you understand

Show kindness, courtesy, respect

Show unkindness, discourtesy, disrespect

Keep promises

Break promises

Be loyal to the absent

Be disloyal, badmouth

Set clear expectations

Create unclear expectations

Apologize

Be proud and arrogant

Give feedback (I messages)

Give no feedback or evaluate character (you messages)

Forgive

Hold grudges


Both Anandi and Gauri were betrayed and what differentiated them the most was their approach to their situation.

For a moment, I thot that Sa too comes in withdrawal category. But she doesnt even deserve that much. She has no reason to be so ungrateful or any logic behind her actions.

Mayb CVs are trying to show, the extreme case of how many wrongs can be in a person with Saanchi - coz she is not even grey anymore, just black, IMO
