Well I voted Yes..
I will forgive her in Childhood but
in Adulthood
She still goes out of her way to make Kamla focus on her only.
The Birthday was very obvious. She expected Kamla to spend the whole day with her and did not even consider Kalpi. She kept calling and interrupting Kalpi's birthday party. She brought attention to herself, taking it from Kalpi. She crashed and Kalpi's day was ruined. She never gets it, because she does not really care.
The bet even more so, she wants to win so Kamla as she quoted "will live with her forever." Seriously, who would wish for that? The lady has a family and deserves to rest her body from all that housework over the years.
She is well aware that Kalpi is bothered by their relationship, as she said so herself when she told Kalpi she knows why she wants her Mother to quit being a maid, to be away from her.
Kamla is constantly humiliated at her house, yet she wants her there at all cost.
She does not care that being a maid is not a nice job and is only done when one cannot do better.
A truly unselfish person would not want the person they love to ever be in these situations. Her only concern is that she gets this love, it is her obsession.. Obsession is never borne out of unselfishness.
She vies for Kamla's attention even when she clearly sees Kamla tending to Kalpi.
She is only nice to Kalpi, because she is Kamla's daughter. However, when it comes to getting her way, such as the bet, she suddenly forgets the importance of Kalpi.
She likes Kalpi as long as her relationship with Kamla Ma is not threatened. that is selfishness and it is deliberate not by accident.
I don't think she is evil but selfishness is not a good thing either. it is a weakness in her that is not good and someone needs to make her know that.
