Back with some more thoughts...
I had chosen to miss the previous couple of episodes with the comedy tadka, with Vandu & Raman's journey in the rain to the hospital, but once I knew what was coming after that, I decided to watch them after all. Amidst all the chaos and madness, I was reminded of what a fabulous relationship it is between the four of them, be it Ishita & Bala or Raman & Bala, or even Raman & Vandu. Love the bonding between them..
Don't know if it was the rain, or Vandu's pregnancy coming to an end, or the matter about Adi's upbringing...but today I was reminded of the day when Vandu came in with her sonography reports, and Raman talks about his own sweet memories with Adi. It feels like a long, long time ago..this was during the Amma accident / Adi / majboori track. It was at this point that Ishita once again got to see the depth of love that Raman carried in his heart for Adi. Vandu talks about how all fathers love their children a lot, and Ishita agrees saying they can stand against the whole world to protect their children.
It was the same night that we got the beautiful, symbolic scene where we saw a couple dying to speak out what was in their hearts..the scene with both of them stretching their hands out in the rain. Ishita is shown reflecting, questioning Adi's upbringing..that its the first and foremost duty of the parents to teach the right values to their child, and that by covering his mistakes today, they are not only being unfair towards him, but are encouraging him to make more in the future.
Their relationship dynamics are so different now. What a beautiful journey this has been! Yet, in some matters we are standing at the same juncture, with IshRa & Adi, with the parents' role and responsibilities in their children's integral upbringing..
What a beautiful scene it was in the hospital! I'm so glad that both Ishita and Raman owned up to their mistakes and apologized for the same. I was awestruck by the simplicity of the IshRa scene..such a realistic conversation between a couple, talking about the complexities of parenting, renewed promises and new hopes. I know I have complained and made a lot of fun about Vandu's elephantine gestation, but I loved how it was brought to its culmination..the timing couldn't have been more perfect!
I have come to believe and accept that the old world type of desi soaps are not going to give us a bold "sex me up" kind of situations. I agree with Anku, these things are still taboo in the desi soap world and that's why they probably talk about consummation in connection with procreation.
Whenever Raman talks about their baby, he always talks in terms of giving Ishita that happiness, and not in terms of wanting it for himself..because he has seen that longing in Ishita's eyes many times, and wishes to see Ishita experience the completeness of giving birth to a baby which he believes would give her the ultimate happiness. I don't think he means to put any kind of pressure on Ishita, he just wants her to feel complete. And from his side, he is trying to be encouraging and wants to give her hopes and confidence.
Ishita's reaction to that is also understandable, probably stemming out of her insecurities. She is perhaps worried about not being successful in her pregnancy and disappointing Raman and crashing his hopes, like many of you have pointed out. But do you really think Raman cannot see all that, that he does not understand her insecurities? I feel that this is his way of gently nudging her to open up to him..like how he pointed out to her that she is not capable of lying to/fooling him..and one day, hopefully, we will get to see her opening up to him about her insecurities..
I can go on and on, but I better stop at this..will probably come back with more thoughts once I watch the last episode..Vandu's home-coming and the Raman-Raman scene. Besides, I can't say it any better than all you wonderful ladies out here..am so in awe of the brilliant writing talent in this thread.😳
