"The best thing in life is finding someone who knows all your flaws, mistakes, and weaknesses and still thinks you're completely amazing."

That's Raman for Ishita. And that's Ishita for Raman. She knows that he entered this marriage with the baggage of his past drowning him and weighing him down, essentially desensitizing him from his life and family. He knows that she entered this marriage with the shame of her infertility forcing her to feel insecure and inadequate, basically causing her to be unconditionally caring and giving to those around her. They are both imperfect, they are both gray (as Ishita said), but they still choose to compromise and adjust; they choose to accept and embrace the other's weaknesses. They willingly make the other's weaknesses the strength and foundation of their marriage. His anger at his past and her desire to always do good are weaknesses to them as individuals, but the strength to their togetherness. The darkness of his past makes him appreciate the light of his present. Her experiences of always giving to others without expecting anything in return make her cherish even the smallest gestures of care and concern that he showers on her.

What a beautiful way to sum up Ishita's very much needed speech/lecture to Mani. The fact that their individual weaknesses are the strength and foundation to their togetherness would be nearly impossible for anyone on the outside to comprehend; after all, the foundation of a house is never visible to the outside world. It remains under the ground, constantly shouldering the weight and burden of the house on top. Only the two of them can come together with each of their weaknesses to build an imperfectly strong foundation that shoulders the weight of their house and family. It's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it.

No additional lines today. Gulzar sahab's words were too overwhelming to my senses. Thank you for introducing me to his beautiful poetry.

First res!!! Yikes!!! I'm noticing this just now... Doc much as I love reading your posts, I don't think I should be first page responders!!! What u write is absolute poetry! And not to mention the poetry you add that just makes this post divine! Now whatever I may say may seem blah in comparison.. But lemme try anyway!

"Success in marriage is less about doing the big things than it is about doing those little things day after day." - Unknown

And this why their little cocoon is just so beautiful.. Its not about the big sacrifices, big material things, big decisions - but about small joys of everyday life! Its about the little nameboard gesture, about the small pasta and palak-panneer love, about the little sleeping on the bed with Ruhi in between moments.

This family is about a mother-in-law who lends a lap for her to cry on, a father-in-law who would eat idlis with her to make her feel comfortable in a new house, a brother-in-law who won't let her give up on her self-respect by falling at the feet of a creep, a sister-in-law who doesn't shy away from apologising for her husband's crimes once she knows the truth, a daughter who will stand up for her Ishima in front of everyone - even her own mother! But this family is also about a husband who may never talk to her straight face but not hear a word of insult against her by her an outsider, a husband who may not say anything in support of her when she is being blamed, but go to any length to prove her innocence to the whole family, a husband who may not admit he cares, but would panic when she pretends to lose memory! A husband who may not be vocal about his support, but wouldn't hesitate before giving up on a powerful post for her, a husband who may have never said it, but would make her feel loved by giving her the kkhh moment when she needed it the most, a husband who may not have confessed but showed what she meant to him by giving her the ring and asking for a promise of togetherness forever!

With such a sweet home to go back to everyday, why would Ishita be deterred by little disruptions like a frivolous complaint or some losers trying to intimidate her? She is stronger than all of that cos she has her strength - her husband by her side!! And her support system - her family to fall back on!!

And that's why the dialogues today in her scene with Mani were just so apt and just so perfect! You could feel how beautiful her life is through what she said! And for any third person to understand it is difficult!

"Happiness doesn't lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them. Happiness is clear-headed human interaction and empathy. Happiness is home. And home is not a house - home is a mythological conceit. It is a state of mind. A place of communion and unconditional love. It is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace." - Dennis Lehane

U R SUCH A BRILLIANT WRITER...ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT...LOVED IT...

To outsiders their home may seem unkept with broken windows, walls covered by mold of the past and a ceiling leaking problems but if you look at their home through their eyes, we will see a home kept together with serenity, windows letting hopes and dreams enter their lives, walls colored with their love removing the mold and ceiling kept intact by their commitment and support to protect their tiny family from a rainy day.

BEAUTIFULLY PENNED...

THANKS EWS...

Such a beautiful piece of writing. 👏

ishra's journey is truly one of a kind. But would be happy if cvs don't spoil the fun with so many unnecessary dramas. Twists and turns are welcome. But everything has a saturation point. Including our patience. 😭
