mancityfanThank you for always being honest and authentic in your posts and opinions. You write what you feel and i love reading them. I look forward to your posts and those of opposing views as well. Your posts also reflects the views of others who do not post them.
The frustration at Raman and the indignation you feel on behalf of Ishita comes across loud and clear. I myself have felt like banging Raman's head to knock some sense into it and tell him wise up and as a woman myself, to shake Ishita to stop taking the disrespectful behaviour. It is hard to watch Ishita demonstrating what gem she is and Raman repeatedly overlooking it and taunting/misunderstanding her. Sometimes they both go in with barrels fully loaded, all guns blazing without knowing the facts. If they don't watch it we will have two beautiful but dead people 😆
As i said in another post, comments are comments, any judgement of them as positive, negative is what we each of us readers bring/give to them based on our perspectives. It is what we make them mean. There are also many other post that counter and balance opinions we don't like.
Your post reminded me of the caterpillar story. I know that it may be a little over-used but it reflects the metamorphosis that Karan is going thru. If we clip the wings too early, he won't morph from the happy caterpillar he used to be pre-Shagun to the beautiful butterfly he will become post-Ishita. His struggle of self-realization cannot be hurried and nor can Ishita's. Remember, ishita jumped from the trauma of Shubu's rejection to Prateek's rejection straight to marraige with Raman with no time heal in between. Its just she is so positive that we can't see it. I have copied the story here since it is always a great one to re-read. While it may come across that way, my intent is not to be patronizing.
"Once a little boy was playing outdoors and found a fascinating caterpillar. He carefully picked it up and took it home to show his mother. He asked his mother if he could keep it, and she said he could if he would take good care of it.
The little boy got a large jar from his mother and put plants to eat, and a stick to climb on, in the jar. Every day he watched the caterpillar and brought it new plants to eat.
One day the caterpillar climbed up the stick and started acting strangely. The boy worriedly called his mother who came and understood that the caterpillar was creating a cocoon. The mother explained to the boy how the caterpillar was going to go through a metamorphosis and become a butterfly.
The little boy was thrilled to hear about the changes his caterpillar would go through. He watched every day, waiting for the butterfly to emerge. One day it happened, a small hole appeared in the cocoon and the butterfly started to struggle to come out
At first the boy was excited, but soon he became concerned. The butterfly was struggling so hard to get out! It looked like it couldn't break free! It looked desperate! It looked like it was making no progress!
The boy was so concerned he decided to help. He ran to get scissors, and then walked back (because he had learned not to run with scissors...). He snipped the cocoon to make the hole bigger and the butterfly quickly emerged!
As the butterfly came out the boy was surprised. It had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly expecting that, at any moment, the wings would dry out, enlarge and expand to support the swollen body. He knew that in time the body would shrink and the butterfly's wings would expand.
But neither happened!
The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.
It never was able to fly...
As the boy tried to figure out what had gone wrong his mother took him to talk to a scientist from a local college. He learned that the butterfly wasSUPPOSED to struggle. In fact, the butterfly's struggle to push its way through the tiny opening of the cocoon pushes the fluid out of its body and into its wings. Without the struggle, the butterfly would never, ever fly. The boy's good intentions hurt the butterfly.
