It all started with a child rejected because of her gender, a girl. Reality bites. This is nothing new, a lot of societies still put boys above girls and undermine the progress that we human need to make. A woman cannot be fulfilled unless married and with children or so we are told. We still have a long way to go for equality. It is especially sadder π when a mother, once a girl then woman doesn't have the courage to protect a human of the same gender but above all her child. Aarti parents follow one rule, husbands dominated and woman submitted and passed it onto generation. Despite having boys there still blame innocent Aarti and deemed her birth a bad omen, sad. Shoba is one weak woman and Aarti learn very early to be submissive and accept her fate in her men oriented environment.
Fortunately, not everyone embraced the clich and have to sense to see beyond narrow-minded view. Maya, and her family, turn out to be Aarti fairy godmother and Aaman her true brother more than her own, for sure a testament to Maya & Manav raising their boy to respect woman too. Maya understanding her brother way came up with ways to include Aarti in her family therefore making sure that she received a good education and love. She was not love by her family but she was the talent in the family, probably pissing of Satyendra who had to pay the school for his boys to pass classes, then again having lot of money doesn't mean that stupidity does not run in the family. Its so funny how Manav easily manipulate Satyendra , lol and counter his wish to threw Aarti into a marriage as long as some men get rid of her.
Aarti view of the world is so optimist that despite understanding her place with her parents .. sometimes too much acceptance is nefarious to a person. She is able to help other but not herself as Neelam said. But its not so simple, how to make your creator understand without becoming disrespectful, a fine line to carefully thread, indeed.
And now she is betrothed, no surprise from a father who had no need for a woman. She is about to enter into an unknown alliance, full of uncertainties. I'm almost scared for her, will she be able to dance, to use that diploma she got, only time will tell.
Once again happy celebration Ladies Bee and Tess π.
