Beautiful post! Truly, the quote you gave is true. It does take a village to raise a child and the Bhallas and Iyers in their own way, are almost a village, no? BTW - just one correction. They don't speak Swahili in Nigeria. Swahili belongs more to East/South Africa, but the saying is true to any region of Africa.


Thank you so much for your kind comment and thank you for letting me know about Swahili, I was taught that it's a Nigerian proverb in Swahili but that's not the case! I will edit the post 😃

You learn something new everyday! 😊 Thanks once again. Bhallas and Iyers are a village alright and what a strong one at that! 😊

You have very eloquently summarized the relationship of a parent and the child of a broken family. I have a very good friend who comes from a broken family, she has been able to move forward in life as her stepfather loved her more then her real dad( who is **shole) in my opinion. Funny enough he was their Neighbourh and he rescued her mom from her abusive father. And was very friendly with my friend as he would encourage her to play in yard when she was a little girl of 3.(this in late 80's in NJ)Nobody in the Indian community supported her mom, this white guy came forward not only rescued the mom, he became guardian angle for my friend. When I watch Ishita, she resemble so much like Uncle Dan😊 Not only he had to fight for Aunty's love ( woman born late in 50's seeing a gora man) to literally forced her to marry him else she would have to go back to India ( visa issues) uncle persuaded aunty for my friends happinessand better life,they have been together ever since.

PS I know went off topic but today I was spellbound by the episode and remembered uncle Dan.
I totally agree with the statement its takes a village to raise a child. As I am overwhelmed by raising the kids far from my family .😉



Thank you very much for sharing a personal anecdote with us, I really appreciate it. Yay for Uncle Dan! We need more uncle Dans in this world to balance the hurt and deceit. He sounds like a thorough gentleman and an amazing human being, your friend is very lucky and so is her mom.

I am not a parent but I see my cousins trying to raise their kids far away from the extended and it's a task alright! It Kudos to parents like yourself for trying to raise children all by yourselves. Thanks for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed reading the post. 😊

😆 Stop it! You make me laugh, I completely understand because I am a chatterbox and can talk to a wall 😆

How beautiful your post, how heart touching your picture, how completely apt your quote... I know a lot of words but I can't find the right ones to say how impressed I am by the posts I have seen these days from everyone!

Bravo ladies...👏 That's enough missy! Thank you for always posting something substantial, I always have fun reading and replying to your posts because there is always something new to read with fresh a perspective.

I want to make a special mention to the songs you posted with their English subs- Thank you, they were absolutely amazing and I am so glad to be able to fully understand them thanks to you! *high 5* *High 5* back at you! I didn't know you aren't comfortable with Hindi, from now on all the songs will be translated 😊

I was going to say something about the show's comendable exploration of the Indian family law system in it's own unique prime time soap-y way, about how much I love that even if only for several episodes and as a vechicle for the confession how glad I am the show based on a book called 'custody' is ging back to it's roots, of how much I appreciate the the constant evaluation of chosen vs given relationships that is explored in this show from ISHRARU and their extended families to Shagun/Adhi and how disappointed i am by the CVs wasted potential with the growth of Shagun outside of her stereotypical B****y Ex/ main vilan ' role... but I can't really seem to form any comprehensive thoughts right now. Anu do you remember during MiMi engagement and Sanjana fiasco, Raman and Mihir had a talk in the balcony and Raman had said to Mihir, 'that everyone has a right to be happy and move on in life, I moved on with Ishita, you are moving on with Mihika, Shagun has a right to happiness as well' He went on to add that Shagun isn't harassing them to gain pleasure she just wants to be happy, once she gets her happiness with Ashok, she will leave us alone. At that point I was so happy with the CVs because I sincerely believe that no one is evil, we might do selfish things in life but selfish does not equal evil! That was then now we are back to square one where Shagun is made to behave as a classic hindi soap vamp, there is so much potential of character growth in Shagun, Ashok and Adi, only if dealt with maturity and sensitivity. But ummed pe toh duniya kayam hai!

I am simply overwhelmed by the beauty of so many great analyzations and performances, and the wonderful promos/spoilers of the amazing things to come.

Welcome back YHM- how I have missed you these past several weeks/months.🥳

I finally believe that things will be okay in my YHM world again come what may with Bala, Shagun, Ashok and the 'separation'- because it looks like the right people are once again behind the writers desk. Bravo to that. 👏 Amen! Writing of this show is absolutely brilliant and I pray that it remains so!

PS: I realize that my post began with 'I have no words' and then .. this... 😳 Blame it on the consequences of being an introvert and my overwhelming affection for this show, it's characters and the amazing IF members who compel such responses via your posts. 😉 Ditch the introvert inside you and come celebrate YHM with all of us, your posts make YHM and this forum an enriching experience for me. 🥳

It's really a compliment to you all!😛

To paraphrase the great Barney Stinson- stop being so awesome!🤗 HIMYM is one of my fav shows of all time, although I am very very very upset with the ending, but more on that later at a different time and a different place. You make me blush! 😳

Doc, wonderful post. The pic is beautiful.

"We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it is more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are."
_ Kathryn Harrison, The Kiss

When Raman became the strength of Ishita, when she is weak or in trouble, Ishita became the strength of Raman when he is weak. But today, both husband and wife was together weak, vulnerable, endangered by the fear of losing their child. Here, their daughter came as the strength, their rescuer. The husband and wife was not able to support each other, they were poles apart after the court notice came ...both were in their own dilemma though he tried to console her...their heart equally throbbing for their child...they were becoming weak inside and out...But but but...Ruhi understood them, she became their parent for some time, she gave the strength, she directed them..not to feel weak but they have to fight for her, if they feel weak, they will totally lose her; which the child herself and her parents can't afford or imagine.

Ruhi is the love between them, strength between them, the goodness between them...she is the reflection of Goddess in their life...
Ruhi tied their hands including her's...said that they are one...they three can never survive alone anymore...the three lonely lives became one...

Doc, beautiful post dear...

Doc you, Gan and have this amazing talent to make everything so poetic and beautiful. This post is so beautifully written with such deep meaning. You guys always have the best posts and I love discussing the episodes with you guys. I love the title of your post. It does take a village to raise a child.

The last couple of episodes have been so crazy and emotional. They didn't feel like it was written for trp aunties but for us loyal viewers from the old slot. These type of story lines bring out such realness and people could relate to them. Mothers could feel Ishita's pain, fathers Raman's pain, and children Ruhi's pain. If you are neither a mother or father or child, you could still feel the pain of a family breaking apart. You could feel their fears and insecurities. Their hurt and guilt, and their fight for keeping their family together. We viewers felt each and every emotion in the last couple of days.

Last couple of days went to various emotions. A mother whose worst fear come true. We have Ishita who could never become a biological mother but in ever sense she is a mother. Her fear of loosing her daughter Ruhi came true. Remember when she was trying to convenience Toshi aunty to let Ruhi attend Shagun's wedding events she told her she is very selfish when it comes to Ruhi, and she faced the thread of loosing her daughter. It was heart breaking to see a mother thinking she could loose her daughter. We also had a father whose world resolves around his children. His guilt was killing because of a moment of anger he could loose his daughter. We all know how much his children mean to Raman. This man is trying to be brave for everyone but is broken from inside. He lost his son and could possibly lose his daughter. Then we had a little girl who finally got the family she wanted. And in a split second her fear of her family been taken away from came true. But her outburst and little antics like tying her parents and her hands together are her indirecting her parents the will to fight, giving them courage and strength.

This week was all about parents and their children.
