"As much money and life as you could want!
The two things most human beings would choose above all -
the trouble is, humans do have a knack
of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.
"
~J.K.Rowling

  • Raman's choice: To have Ishita dress up in his choice and show her off as his partner
  • Shagun's choice: To have what she wants and to use any means to get it
  • Mihika's choice: To not be able to say an outright "No" to her fiance's sister
  • Ishita's choice: To be comfortable with her choice.

Somewhere in there is a wrong choice that not only sets the pattern of expectation and behavior in the individual. Shagun is narcissistic. She would not hesitate to use Ishita's benevolence to her benefit without even batting an eyelid. Both Ishita and Mihika need to understand that before they choose to give in to her whims and demands. Sometimes being selfish in the long run benefits the loved ones who we're trying to protect.

Ishita was caught up between the advices of her her mother and her mother-in-law. She chose the one that she was comfortable with, though knowing fully well what affect it would have on Raman. She chose the saree over his gown...without realizing she's rejecting his gesture...his wish to have his wife as THE woman of the evening.

On a different note jealousy finally makes a subtle entry into Ishita's mind...in the form of a receipt from Kakkad Jewellers.

Note:
  • why was Ishita averse to the gown?...She had worn western gowns before to match the theme so didn't fully understand the logic behind it.
  • The hump is still procreating🤢

G as always beautiful collage that encompasses all the emotions of the episode, and what a brilliant title! We are indeed a product of our choices, what an apt description of the episode!

"Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it." - Hesse

The quote above describe Ishra so well, Ishita's beauty, inside and out brings tremendous joy to Raman, who now in love with his wife, wants the world to celebrate her beauty. The man is in love and that too hopelessly, he wants the world to know his source of happiness, on the other hand Ishita too hopelessly in love is fighting her insecurities. Call me twisted but I like that she feels insecure wearing that dress, I think this will provide an opportunity for Raman to make her feel secure and beautiful.

What I liked, Raman with authority saying, 'you are gonna wear this and I am not going to forgive you easy', Ishita shocked and hurt at finding 15 lakh present for 'Shagun', she wants puttar and his gaudy taste to herself!

PS: I am not expecting logic, cos Ishita has worn dresses before so I do not know why all of a sudden this adverse reaction to wearing one but I guess to move the story along they are taking creative liberties.

May you choices reflect your hopes, not your fears - Nelson Mandela

Today again the difference between Ishita and Shagun was highlighted
Shagun - a Narcissist. Is always I, me , myself
Ishita- an Altruist - who always thinks for the people she loves.

Shagun uses every relation that she has to her own advantage
Whether it her marriage or her children, she doesn't hesitate to use them as a pawn to get what she wants
She believes Raman to still holding a torch for her.
She is so overconfident (more about her beauty) that she fails to notice the truth.
She emotionally pressurizes Mihika for the dress as she knows the stress will reach Ishita and when Ishita knows that Mihika is tense,she will give away that dress to her.
What she didnt realize that She got the dress because Ishita wanted to give it. Not because she wanted it. That's how blind she is about the reality
She knows which button to press and doesnt hesitate to press them
Also for her money and material are most important - more than her self-respect.
Her deep fear is not being appreciated for her beauty. Not being the center of attraction. Not having a luxurious life
Losing power and control on everyone in her life. She needs money to supplement this feeling of power
Her choices and her moves show that.


While -
Ishita uses her patience and love to salve and strengthen every relationship
Her beauty is her confidence, her ability to love
If one is clean and pure in the heart it reflects on the face.

Her kindness and her thoughtfulness are not her weaknesses but her strength
It helps her from hurting people So she has a clear conscience and better relationships. A strong foundation for a good life
She has seen Shagun using her own biological daughter as a pawn during the CRY campaign
So why will she not hesitate to use Mihika to get the dress.
When as a mother,she couldn't understand the pain that her child had gone through because of her selfish act, will she worry about her brother's fiancee?
By giving away the gown, she saved Mihika from stress. She helped her sister - similar to the reason she gave for making Ruhi having a good relationship with Shagun
She chose love and relationship over material.

Yes, Raman will be hurt and angry with her action.
But she has in her those qualities which when compared to a gown are far superior to make him understand and respect her action.
After all being sexy is in the attitude and not in the garment.
And she would prefer to wear the dress, show her sexy side to her husband in private and not in a party filled with strangers - a direct contrast to Shagun

Also for her the thought of being gifted is more important that the gift itself
Can Shagun take away that thought and that happiness from her. No.
So, It is she who is the true winner because she is selfless and thoughtful
She may not want much for herself but she wants the world for the people she loves

I've been following your posts lately!
I like the quote today.
I know she neglected his gesture. The extremely
annoying and illogical thing today was
- The saare she wore when she received the gown had
a backless blouse (fine her hair covered the back)
. The saare she wore at the Cocktail party has a backless
gown too.
I don't know what to say.

Yeah but, Nice Post! I love the collage!

Gan...😛 Beautiful collage 😳😳
One expression that caught my eye was Ishita's when Shagun was making Raman to check her out.. Seemed for a second like the biwi was pissed off.. but as in Ishita's case I dunno... 😆

Choices perfectly summarized...😳.but couldnt help but put it this way since the leads have been Sirf ruhi ke liye all this while 😃
Raman's choice: Biwi Ke liye 😳
Shagun's choice: Khud ke liye (narcissism at its best as you said!)
Mihika's choice: Mihir ke liye
Ishita's choice: Mihika ke liye...

Ishita was caught up between the advices of her her mother and her mother-in-law. - One way of looking at it with blinders on is She chose to wear a Kanchipuram saree in a cocktail party and the confidence with which she walked in... couldn't help but recall a random quote.. "The Most Beautiful Thing a Woman Can Wear is Confidence:" ... And confidence I saw in the woman in what what she was wearing and how she was handling her husband despite what she had done.

On a different note jealousy finally makes a subtle entry into Ishita's mind...in the form of a receipt from Kakkad Jewellers. - Finally in her monologue Shagun was Raman's ex-wife and not Ruhi ki biological mother...

Note:
  • why was Ishita averse to the gown?...She had worn western gowns before to match the theme so didn't fully understand the logic behind it. - You know since beginning of this show I admired the fact that Ishita would dress according to the occasion in whatever she was comfortable in, but today if they wanted to show a contrast between Shagun and Ishita, that they did but at the cost of another facepalm moment! (Just made Ishita look stupid considering her look at different parties) Ishita not wearing the gown made sense - but she giving it away to his ex-wife made totally no sense and also the fact that she didnt tell her husband about it before the party... I am pretty sure Raman's reaction in the party is the post MU track wala reaction... Couldnt Ishita have worn the saree Raman gifted.. the white and black put it to some good use ppl!!!
  • And I didnt know what to make of puttar and biwi together praising his ex-wife...😆
  • The hump is still procreating🤢 - 🤣🤣🤣 Getting it to the Asha Parekh level is the goal I pheel 😆😃
  • They were going to attend the wedding functions Ruhi ke liye ... and today Ruhi wasn't even there.. sigh!!
  • Mihika.. no comments.. 🤢 A character I used to like and now leaves a lot to be desired!

Surprisingly I too have thought of Rowling Gan -

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

Last night two women ended up crossing paths again over an outfit; one wanted it because it was her stubbornnes, it was a matter of ego for her...she wanted to stand out in what she perceived was an object that would make her the center of attention.

Her aim was to have every eye in that room on herself; she wanted to be the cynosure of everyone' eyes. She wanted men to lust for her and women to envy her - she seeked power.

Another woman ended up with the object, something she found herself uncomfortable with. She didnt want to stand out in something that screams look at me; she wanted to blend in. If she seeked attention and appreciation it was from just a pair of eyes - the only one she wanted on herself - her husband', the man she is in love with. She knew with her choice she would have him miffed, he would be angry, upset with her - but she also knew something else...that no one else apart from him would even pay her that much of an attention - which is precisely what she wanted, she just wanted him captivated..she wanted him and only his attention for herself.

She walked in well prepared for his anger, his disappointment - his every reaction- but she also knew he would come around, she would make that happen...that speaks of a woman confident of herself, her choice and mostly of her love and the man she is in love with, the fact that she knows him well now... if she can rile him up she can cool him down too

This woman holds power even without seeking it out, even without wanting it. And somewhere the man now knows this too - that this woman holds power over him, he tried, he gave it his very best but she wore him down - he couldnt keep her out, he couldnt keep himself aloof from her even if that was his resolution...he has stopped fighting himself over this now, he puts up a show just because he is scared to let her know that she holds that kinda power over him, scarred by his past he still is wary of people and things but one day even this resistance, the last of his defence, the last arrow in his quiver, in his arsenal will be wasted and he would bow down and surrender.

As Dumbeldore says - Those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."

don't worry. Ishu already sorted out the issue. Well she says about choices too...and the dress was not really Ishita's type. wearing it to a public gathering would have made her uncomfortable. Raman wont understand tht coz he is a man. Toshiji understood u c. But u r absolutely right abt Shagun and Mihika and Ishu should learn to say NO.
All said and done gifting it to Shagun was a TRP thing nothing else 😆
But Ishu made up for it by dressing up only for Raman. Puttar says if she choooses to xpose he will faint... and seeing puttar faint we wiill drool first and then faint 😳 😆 😆
