I dont like it that I am terribly short of time. I would have loved to write a Ramayan (correction- Mahabharat) reply for this one. Anyway, I'll try to express what I have to say as succinctly as possible

Shivu... need I say ? apt post... I havent read the 5 pages of comments, but I am sure your post sparked a healthy debate.

Now, my take on the first half of yesterday's epi was:

I saw a father being manipulated (very cleverly) by the mother of his child. I saw a father reminded of the happy moments he'd shared with the mother of his first-born. I saw a father feeling guilty for not paying enough attention to renew contract which was something he had smartly 'invested' in a long time ago.

I saw the mother manipulating the father of her children to trap him into a web of guilt, shame and regret. I saw a mother using a child as a pawn to fulfill her narcissistic tendencies. I saw a regretful woman not letting a man move on, only because she hasn't been able to.

I saw a woman not being sure of her place in a man's life. I saw a woman who heard a conversation between a former couple. I saw a woman see that former couple reminisce the happy moments in their life and immediate feel the pain of her emptiness. I saw a woman who knew she couldn't participate in that kind of happiness with that man, irrespective of her 'adopting' his children.

So, long story short, I was completely void of any negativity when the episode finished. I did not see anything that I had objection to. I said this is another post, but Shagun was so good yesterday that I even felt sorry for her for a minute.

Everything Raman said and did was in the context of being a father. At least that's what I took away from the episode. Everything Ishita said and did was in the context of her being a caring woman, a woman who is more a mother than Shagun will ever be. What is there to hate?

Ishita and Raman are frankly 2 broken souls. They need to heal. Whether they love each other or not is neither here nor there. They are 2 broken people put together into a triage room with all the equipment to fix their wounds. How they pick up the various medicines and apply them on each other is what this story is all about. So, again, whats there to hate?

I would have not liked it if Raman didn't even find out that Ishita had heard his conversation. I would have nor liked it if Ishita had bottled up her pain and put on a smile yesterday. But still, I wouldn't have hated either of them.

P.S: One thing keeps coming back to me. Raman-Shagun's conversation was entirely about Aditya, no? There wasn't any mention of a second child at all, or I missed it. Anyway, what I am trying to say is, IF Raman was indeed still 'in love' with Shagun, wouldn't he have talked about ALL happy memories? Why only talk about Adi's birth? That was the biggest clue that moulded my response to the episode. Adi is his first-born child. and no one (i mean NO ONE) except Shagun could share that happiness with him, right? Even Ruhi's birth didnt evoke the same memories. Even if Ishita had a child with him, that child couldnt be his first-born, and that holds special place in any parent's heart no? Am I making sense here?
