maybe it was meant to be mediocre? I mean she was harassed and was very disturbed. And not just once, but multiple incidents one after another. So ... she's a little ... defused, to put it lightly. So maybe THAT is what they're trying to show?
I know there are times I'm exhausted, mentally and physically, but I know I need to talk to my kid and respond to his comments ... so I feel like I'm reading off a script (he probably does too), but I say it coz I have to. Though I'm too tired to show the enthusiasm, I do mean it with all that much emotion - just too tired to show it.
Maybe that's what they're trying to go for ... how she's sooo tired and sick of all of this, but still finds it in herself, albeit not with all the gumption, to cheer and reassure Raman?
Just a thought ...
