Shammu, The romantic letter you wrote is really enjoyable to read. You are really very creative.
Thulasi has to endure the extreme. When she was with Padma, Padma didn't have much chance to starve her because, there was T's granny who will make one or the other arrangement for helping Thulasi. Even though, we could all say, Thulasi brought out these miseries by her own choice, TA could not get away from his responsibilities. Any wife will tell, how tough it will be to live with an unemployed husband. if seeing all this, if TA doesn't go for a job, he deserves to be blasted. Where will he take Thulasi away? Will he live again at the mercy of loan sharks? He can't escape by telling Thulasi that she brought all those problems for herself by her own choice. May be Puvi and Sudha do something at this stage.
The best friend of Thulasi knows the best about her. So we can be optimistic, there is some elegant way Thulasi is going to deal with the sadism of her MIL.
