Hey Aani
wow ... Can I suggest something? You should actually join the Creatives of YHM team. Your ideas are brilliant and totally logical.
As I have told multiple times already on this forum, I got hooked to YHM by coincidence but fell in love with it instantly. But, this accident track combined with a double dosage of Shagun proved to be damper for me ... however, thanks to writers like you, I feel that their is hope ...
I loved the way you have shown Ishita to be someone who is able to turn tables and handle any adverse situation. True, she is no superwoman; but she is also not some abla naari who just knows how to sacrifice everything at the drop of a hat (Sadly, this is what every other Indian serial depicts to us).
We are thinking on a similar track when it comes to Adi. I guess as a parent, it is important to draw a line for the child. Everyone loves their children but at the same time it is the responsibility of the parent to discipline the same child. In Adi's case we already know that Shagun is a classic case of bad parenting and what is ironic is that even though Raman knows about it, and has expressed his concern about the same at various occasions (the convo between him and Bala where he was worried for Adi and his future), he still ignored everything and protects his son just to be in his good books.
I absolutely adored your example of Toshiji. I guess everyone in this forum will agree with me that all of us at some point have had disagreements with our parents and sometimes real fights ... all of us have been stopped, scolded or shown "my way or highway" attitude. But that does not make us hate our parents in long run. May be immediately we may give a harsh response or in worse cases like Adi, hate them but eventually, we all understand the importance for the act sooner or later.
Raman really needs to look at the mirror and figure out that what he is doing is not protecting his son; rather it is making him more callous towards everything ... reminds me of something like "Jaanta hai na mera baap kaun hai." attitude vaale log.
Then the final part about gaining Ishita's trust. Raman's character is no fool. Even before his wedding, in his drunk state, he had bragged about Ishita to Shagun and he had told her that Ishita is way better for Ruhi than her. Raman had automatically entrusted Ishita the moment he agreed to marry Ishita for Ruhi. He had given the entire life of his daughter in the hands of another woman. Therefore, whether he admitted or not, he has always trusted Ishita. Further, by now Ishita has proved her sincerity a number of times, be it something materialistic like the land deal or the most sensitive topic of his life ... Adi ... Hell this woman is ready to accept Shagun and Adi as a part of her life because they are related to Ruhi. She has proved her enough. And all she asked in return was some trust.
Therefore, all Raman should have done was ... to trust her, spill the beans and show his inner turmoil. I am sure Ishita would have handled the situation in a totally different manner.
This reminds me of Vandu and Bala. She was also scared about her pregnancy. Getting pregnant while you are a single earner is a huge problem in a metro city and it can have severe implications. But, although she was initially skeptical and lied even to her real sister ... she could not hide it from Bala for long ... this is what is called trust ... she expressed all her fears, her tension and in return she got 100% support from her husband ... I guess Raman needs to learn this big time ... as although his subconscious trusts Ishita; but his actual self is scared to admit it ...
Hehe ... your OS was like a food for thought for me, therefore I just kept on rambling ... I have read your other works too and find you as one of the best writers on this forum ...
Keep up the great job ... Please send me a PM for your next work ... I will always look forward to your beautiful posts ...
Cheers
Bhanu.
P.S.: I am also writing an SS (this is my first ever work). You are welcome to go through it ... let me know you honest thoughts on it ... I will love to hear what a superstar writer thinks of my maiden venture. The link is pasted below.
