- they don't have anyone of their own
- or children neglecting
- or daughter-in-laws ignoring or not concerned
- or grand children neglecting
- no more calling the shots...
...if any of these is the concern...then yes go for it...nothing wrong...BUT again..when you enjoy every happiness of the above...you still can go for PV but you have to give importance to the emotion of loss ( respect to the departed soulmate of 30 yrs ) and over a period of time to really look into the matter of need...( as the case of Yash - after 4 yrs ).
Coming to the decision of Arya...the lovable couple...am sorry to say.the decision taken was totally wrong and more so at the wrong time. If the same decision...if they had taken few months later...the suggestion would have been meaningful...a few incident here and there cannot be the decision of PV. How come they didn't respect Radha Ma's emotion - more so when she was dumped by the man who simply refused to acknowledge her ( Arti should have given a thought here ...afterall she too was dumped by prashant ) and any woman in her place will never ever agree ...here...I was very happy when Radha Ma told Arya that their decision for PV has put her in bad light.
Yash going ahead with the decision without taking his brothers into confidence was...I would say a bit arrogant. By giving him the responsibilities of the house doesn't mean...he or arya are the sole decision makers. They should equally give importance to brother's emotion afterall G3 were their Ma...their loss is not a month old yet. Yash POV...was right but again his PV took 4 years to agree to marry Arti...I understand age was on their side but here the grown up children are there who are very devoted...so his logic of argument satisfies not fully...give time and then allow things to fall in place...relationship grows and the need also grows...then PV will automatically happen without any 'brain works' from ARYA side.
A thought occurred - what after PV - if one dies suddenly- will they do another PV in the name of companionship? A beautiful concept should not become a mockery and so this question should be covered ...and that is the reason both the partners concerned should agree before taking the plunge.
Would be happy if you all share your thoughts on this concern of mine. Thank you.
Note: A lovely concept - which is a wakening call for the society
