What if...

Coral not fair the Not Eijaz bit!!!!

That doused all the fervour and ardent feelings in my heart!!!

Well if I can cheat a bit, and if it is indeed miraculously Eijaz 😉😃 who for some reason has decided to be a Mukhi, hahaha just joking, well if the Mukhi is as dishy looking as Eijaz with a wit to match (Eijaz) and simplicity to match the real Mukhi, I would definitely marry him and live in the village.

The chief reason is quite obvious by now (dishy, witty, simple, you get the drift?? hahahaha). Well on a serious note, if our ideas and basic principles and values that one would not compromise with match, I certainly will. Doesn't matter where we live then. I am an incurable romantic..

And like Aru, I would want to change the mentality of the villagers when it's steeped in superstitions, patriarchical mindset, etc., I would like to do some awareness raising on crucial issues, grassroot level issues like health, hygiene, schooling, cleanliness, microbanking, computer literacy, alcoholism, etc.

I seriously believe that we should all give back to society and work towards the upliftment of all.

PHEW!!!

Well seriously..

1.) when I was 23 I was as ambitious as Aru is..

2.) marriage was not in my thought process.

3.) wouldn't have mind marrying someone double my age.. but with a happening lifestyle.. seriously settling down in village would not have been my cup of tea.

But the thought process has really changed over a period of time.. and especially after watching this serial and of course eijaz as Mukhiji.. I left my career when I was at the peak... coz didn't want to live without my sweet little baby.. career no more mattered.. and after watching this serial just realised that only a good life partner.. and nothing else matters.

Yes absolutely and I stick to my answer.

😎

Interesting I must say I never thought about myself in Aru's shoes...coz you asked I'll now😉

When I was 23, I lived by myself, working, marriage is not even on my list(its not even now). I come from a city in India and I moved to US at 19. I have no what-so-ever-clue about village life style.

In that awkward geographic position, somehow If I got a proposal of guy like Mukhi, I would have rejected, its not like ki I don't value that person etc or he is lesser than me, I feel I wouldn't be a good fit for him and I can never be a kind of wife he might want, given the lack of understanding of life I have. I would have been inferior of my short comings. Also I would be hell scared that when am 50..my partner would be 70.. which means more chances of me dying alone. Living in village is yet another important thing..that might be a deal breaker.. I don't think I would have been happy in a village. After retirement yes but not at 23. This is my logical thinking.

But...But maybe if the guy is really like Mukhi and we had enough conversations/ interactions. Going by my track record.. I'm pretty sure I would have fallen for him.. I'm mostly attracted to guys who are more matured than me, treat people well, good humor and knowledgeable, looks never mattered.. Love is not everything but it is powerful enough. Love is something that makes you do things which you wouldn't do otherwise. So I would like to believe if I have had fallen for him... all my apprehensions from previous paragraph will be erased somehow (I'm a hopeless romantic). Like in the case of Aru, she has so many dreams which might fulfilled in Abad easily than Amboli but she is just helpless in love and she Mukhi has become inevitable part her dreams too.

Saying that, given situations somehow if I did end up marrying one like Aru, I would give my best to make that marriage work coz I believe/believed even then that marriage is a covenant before God and no man should ever try to separate that union.

Cora, this was such a hard task phew!!! I will think 100 times before saying anything about Aru now 😆. Poor girl is strongest of any here.

I appreciate men like mukhi. who are honest, uncomplicated, honorable and have the ability to love endlessly. will I marry him and move to a village? hard to say because it is completely different lovestory.

Personally, I won't be able to adjust in a place where there is no technology, accessibility, shopping malls and a decent bathroom situation. true, we need to simplify our lives,but it is very difficult to live without modern conveniences for city folks.

Love matters but practicality matters as well. the age never bothers me but mukhi wears ripped shoes, speaks with a village accent and uneducated. Yes he makes up for all those shortcomings but will I still love it 5 years down the road? it is okay if Im living in amboli, but what if I visit Ahmadabad with him? society can be very unforgiving.

In shows, love and goodness is enough but in reality? the answer is not so straight forward. for me to give up so much for a man, I really have to love him and have immense faith in him.

I am 24 turning 25 soon I would have not thought for a second if it would have turned out to be Eijaz in disguise of real mukhi..

But reel and real world are poles apart

In real world u dont live alone u have to take with u so much family parents and society ..

No matter I fall in love ...and will be ready to do adjustment but ...the thing is that it will be just impossible for me to stick to it for long..

And most often for me my parents comes first and I don't think any parents would ever ready to allow to go and settle with a guy who is 20 years ahead of u and top of it a village..

It can only happen in telly world..

Mind they will never stop me to love him but marraige..never..

Giving a real example ..

That last year thier was a rishta came for me tough I like the guy very much and almost fell in love but.

My father rejected it because he was 11 years older than me..

That was enough to understand

How it works in real life...

Thats why people attached to fake world and jodi's most coz somehow they find themselves in screen..

In my pov

Now the guy is happily married but I still respect and love him and often talk chat infact becomes good friend with his wife who is just 4 years younger than him..

And my father never stopped me ..to do that..

But only restrictions u can't marry
