Even in the battle of Mahabharat, Kanha was Sarathi of Arjun, (charioteer of Arjun), but he did not pick up any bow and arrow for Arjun, nor did he fight the battle for Arjun.............Arjun, had to fight his own battle, win over his own enemies..............Not because, Kanha did not want to, nor because Kanha could not, but because Kanha wanted Arjun to do his Karam.............because it was not Kanha's karam bhoomi, it was Arjun's Karam bhoomi...................It was his duty to stand up and fight against the injustice............Kanha was the guiding light, showing him the path, but it was ultimately Arjun who won the battle against all odds....... because Truth was on his side...................

Similarly, I wish, when finally Kanha appears before Radhika, he tells her to fight her own battle against all injustices...........be responsible for Karams, and be not afraid of her responsibilities................Win the battle ...Don't give up ---- Stand up and fight for your adhikar, stand up for Dev..........
Despite facing all odds, Don't give up.............Tough times never last, but tough people do Radhika and you can do it too girl............
I am, like all of you, very sad at the turn out of events................But nothing can be undone, I atleast want them to show how Dev takes care of her, as her husband, and is protective of her............and I want Vaishali to be concerned about Radhika...............And more importantly, how Radhika comes out of her shell..................
And as Amma says, she wants to watch Radhika die, I want to see, old Radhika gone and Radhika - stronger Radhika and confident Radhika's birth.......................I want to see the birth of Radhika Dev RajPurohitian.....................
Your thoughts.............

Lovely, positive thoughts Anu and a different take on the on going scenario- as always. I personally feel that we are going to see good and positive times in CB in the months to come. Yes, it would be wonderful to see a stronger and more courageous Radhika.Who knows , with Dev by her side she might get the strength.Life's trails do make you grow and mature. We have all learnt some unforgetable lessons from the Guru called LIFE.

Anu, very good post. The show has already done a great damage by burning Radhika. They can not show it as a figment of imagination of Amma. So, I hope they don't show Kanha coming to Radhika on Wednesday and justifying the violence. It was free will of Radhika to decide to stay there with Vishaka. He needs to tell her that she hasn't been truly devotional so far because she decided to support the wrong people. So, this conversation with Radhika should make her realize that as much as hurting somebody is a sin, not standing up for yourself and other loved ones in your life is as much a sin. Yudhister did not disrobe Draupadi, but he and his brothers were guilty of not only gambling and using Draupadi as a bait, but also allowing disrobing to happen to her. That's what they paid for in the end.
So, Kanha should tell Radhika that he has given Dev to her and now that she is considered his wife in society, she needs to be stronger and worthy of him. As a RP, Dev is supposed to be righteous, strong, capable of taking decisions that may go against his family. So as Mrs. RP, she needs to be the same. So far, she is the only one who knows about Amma's crimes. After she recovers, she needs to come forward and expose Amma and make sure that Amma gets suitably punished. It is not a good message to keep this hideous act hidden for the sake of family's "reputation". Also, she knows the stigma of being an adopted child in a religious family. As a rajpurohitin, she should do something about it. Regardless of whether she is able to conceive or not, she should adopt a child and show how adopted children are treated. They are under no extra obligation to repay their parents' debt than the biological children. Also, she should not be codoning the waaris demand from Vaishali by making sure that Vaishali gets a proper kul-jaati waaris from Vishaka. If that happens, then both Vaishali and Amma would win. They are showing that Vishaka so far has no interest in Dev and wants Radhika and Dev to be together. Please show her that she is so grateful to Radhika that she rejects other people's demands to have a child with Dev.
I hope that our feedback is enough for the producers of this show to change their mind and get this show somewhat back on the right track.

Great thoughts as usual, anu k

it would be great to see a stronger and more courageous rads emerge after all this. A Rads who has her priorities right, who is willing to go after those who harmed her and someone who will never let Dev belong to anyone else. I am eager to see rads conv with kanha and the effect it will have on her.

Great post Anu..to start a week..of hospital scenes..straightening heart tracings..in OT monitor..Rads..gasping for last breath..in CB land..!!
When Amma prayed for Rads death..the thought which struck me instantly was...yes Kanha..we all want to see..the demure... supressed..supporter of evil..Radhika Shashtri..to die..
Rads should be reborn as Mrs Dev Raj Purohit..realise..the ultimate gift which Kanha has given her..as Dev..her husband..stand by him against all odds..realize that her priorities are now... her husband..his happiness..and his self respect..his family's dignity..She should come out of her narrow vision of seeing her obligation towards her adopted family's only...look beyond amma..vishakha..(the evil do ers..)..and support Dev in metting out justice to the good and punishment to the bad...
These are my 2 cents..after seeing today's episode..

Anu..... As usual you have found a very positive ray of light in terms of what could come next and how show can be redeemed. I have loved the Dev & Radhika chatacters but I like Dev's character more. Radhika appears one dimensional in her sheer blind devotion and grateful mode with the Shastris.

As someone pointed out on this forum, Amma who loves Vishakha did not jump in that fire to save her ...she went looking for help but Radhika did not even think of her Dev waiting for her....she just jumped. Even when she thinks she is dying, she does not feel the need to tell him that she is his wife from begining....if she dies, she is ready to leave him thinking that he married someone else first and always be sorry for that as he stated in the Ras Garba episode????
What you describe could be a very positive and uplifting evolution of Radhika and if that happens, I will be hooked once again.
I am trying to stay positive... with help of your post....but disturbed by the words used today 'abdominal injuries'......

am, like all of you, very sad at the turn out of events................But nothing can be undone, I atleast want them to show how Dev takes care of her, as her husband, and is protective of her............and I want Vaishali to be concerned about Radhika...............And more importantly, how Radhika comes out of her shell..................

Very well said Anu, i too am looking forward to this. Since the last week i have had only tears rolling down my cheeks with every dialog I am in too much pain and anger I am giving myself a break from what to expect and am going to watch what they show. i hate the track and specially the technical aspect of it. They should have really done their homework. Anyway don't want to spoil the positive flow so i am with you but as said earlier I am going to just be a spectator no speculations. I don't want to be heart broken again

Well, Radhika at the beginning of the episodes says that she will be pushed to an extreme and then will get bolder. Hope that bolder phase starts now.

Everyone,
Great views. I was so turned off by the show last week that I have decided to only read the updates from now on. The reason for me not yet walking out of the forum is because of tremendous sympathy I feel for Dev in this show. So far, he has been betrayed by everyone except for Dadi. Most of all, Radhika has betrayed him knowing fully well how much he has loved her, given her rights which even her father did not do, and taken sharp words from her. He has always been truthful to her and has expressed his guilt several times that he could not marry her the first time and that he felt guilty not giving full rights to Vishaka because he didn't love her. Radhika on the other hand has done most of her vrats to preserve her father's respect. Her demonstration of love has been to follow the rituals. Well, now Dev has made it possible for her to do so publicly and without any questions.
So, in return it would be good for her to have an epiphany (on her death bed as the TV synopsis said) that she has to prove her worthiness for Dev. So far, she has thought herself to be unworthy of him because she was of unknown family and was not educated or rich enough. But, those were never the criteria either for Dev or for a Rajpurohitin. The criteria as mentioned by Dadi is that it is RP duty is to bring in the reforms in the society. One of the reform should be that anybody can become RP regardless of their roots. So, even if they adopt a child, that child should be able to become RP if he has the qualifications. So, yes a weak and siding with wrong Radhika should die and a stronger, just Radhika should emerge.
Regardless of her untruths to Dev, she did not deserve to be burnt. It was always Amma who should have been burnt. Kanha should not be justifying Radhika's burning in the name of faith. That is truely wrong. Meera was saved from the poison by Kanha, then why is Radhika burnt. In any case, she should realize that she belongs to Dev and Amma should have no hold on her anymore. By marrying Dev, she has gained a true grandmother's love from Dadi and does not have to be needy to get Amma's approval. In real life, nobody gets love from everybody. We all have relatives who should love us, but never did. In reality, people don't crave for this kind of love especially when they have found great substitutes for that love . She is getting unconditional love from Dadi and she should be happy with that. Show that you can stand up for Dev and then Dadi. Even today, Dev only asked for blessings from Dadi and not his mother. Dadi also showed her approval to Dev's marriage. Now, Radhika needs to recover and tell Dev first about Amma's deeds. I hope that the judgment day is coming for Amma where everything about her cruel deeds will be exposed. I want Amma to expose Vaishali and Mrin too because only she and Devki know about their schemes. In any case, Radhika and not Vishaka should be the one to tell the truth about the first wedding and Amma to Dev. So, Amma should be punished for all sins in one go. Don't let her scot free just because she is Shastriji's mother. Relations should be secondary to Rajpurohitin than the feelings of right and wrong.
