Given how II and vandu were brought up having shared their room, I would think vandu would more naturally be inclined for shatabdi and shravu to share a room. I don't know, I am not able to put this clearly.
I feel as humans we keep doing things that's expected of us, suddenly a few people or few situation happen , leaving us feeling overwhelmed with what we have been doing thus far and slowly it gets to you.
Baldness suits the rich was sharp coming from vandu and unknowing to her it stung her sister . And then the feeling of inadequacy over not being able to invite her sister's family over for dinner .
But that's reality now. It's the same vandu who was the first to go to R&B and asked him if he would marry her sister .
Stress and maybe a little bit of self sympathy is making vandu cynical.
She is tired and exhausted caring for all. She has no answers to what ifs?
And Bala is not helping her here and adding to this stress. Vandu needs to be able to give time to her children and he cannot be piling on her now with his niece. Some point you hv to be telling your relatives there has to be other workable options.
She has to be joining office soon and without letting her rest or enjoy her time now with her little one , something or the other comes up. The hall for the function, the tash mash of II and Bala and II missing the function and now this hosting of niece. The conversations between vandu and Bala is becoming more charged up by the day
Some people don't hv it easy at all...
Kalpana MANY of us grew up in Mumbai or Delhi or Chennai (mostly big cities) sharing rooms with our siblings or parents, if its Mumbai then the entire family sleeps in the same room, usually on floors. I have a friend from Chembur she said they had a Hall & kitchen... and her in laws had the same too, so her "marital bed" was the kitchen, it had a Godrej and frig and gas cylinder she said
EXACTLY like a OLD Jaya Bhaduri Anil Dhawan movie👏 in that the newly weds share the kitchen. Its a adorable joint family story from the 1970s It has a nice song too I think. One of DD favorites for Sunday evenings
So anyway coming back to the point, even those that grew up that way want separate rooms for their kids in the same Mumbai city, waqt ke saath saath ichhayen aur arzoo bhi zaroor badalti hain aur BADHTI hain😭
