Emotinal Blackmail...Jeevika should know better...

I am a big fan of Jeevika and her maternal instinct towards Maanavi. In fact I was very happy the way she solely concentrated on Maanavi's treatment. Talking to Dr. Manan, asking for Complete diagnosis, Surfing the net for alternative treatment and diet, all that HAD to be done by her.

What what? Jeevika can't focus on anything but making Maanvi better. She wants Maanvi to be better right now. She is not thinking of anything else at all. She sees Maanvi get upset and that makes her upset because she wants to make Maanvi happy. If it was some other time, she might have caught up with Maanvi playing a prank but at the moment she sees her sick sister being upset about not having ice cream and she gives in.

I too believe that Jeevika is doing what she must do. And I really commend her efforts. In fact I am just saying she should not give in to Maanavi's nautanki when Maanavi is too childish to care about herself...

Yes but see I don't agree with how Maanvi is behaving at all but she's behaving like a child and Jeevika is a behaving like a mother. A mother always gives in to her child's nautankies. I said in an earlier post how since I was younger, I always had throat infections and ear infections and I wasn't allowed to eat anything sour and sour things were my most favorite things ever. My mom would never ever let me eat sour things. But than I got jaundice once and my doctor told my mom I can't eat any oily or spicy food either for some reason and I was probably sick for two weeks but for a small child two weeks is a long time and I remember one day, my aunt ordered this dish from outside and it was well oily and spicy and everyone was eating it and I wanted some too and my mom said no and I got really really upset and at the end she gave in. I knew it was bad for me but I also knew if I shed a few tears, my mom will give in because she's already concerned about me sick and she doesn't want to make me sick.

Parents know their children's weaknesses but the same is true for children. They know their parents weaknesses and know how to play them when needed to. This is what Maanvi is doing.

Hmm I know where you are coming from, I am an elder sister and a mom, And I too understand that you do give in to kid's nautankies. However, a mom is the one who NOT ALWAYS gives in when she knows what's best for her child. That was the angle that I was trying to portray.
