**Discussion-of-the-Week**

HI Everyone!!!

I don't know who our Viewbies is or who is in charge of this forum, but I thought that we need to get this forum ROCKING right from the start!!!

So, if no one minds, I will start posting DOTW's every week! We also have MOTWs, and other types of weekly activities to boost participation in the forum! But, let's save MOTW for at least two weeks from now- then we can see how many members we really have here!

If the KTNM forum gets into full swing earlier, we might be able to attract more members- so lets get on with the DOTW!!

Sunaina was unable to get a sponsorship for her pottery exhibit. Finally, she got one from Champion Breweries and was very happy thinking she earned it based on her own credentials. BUT- she learns later on that Demant, her best friend, gave the money for the scholarship.

• Do you think Demant was wrong in giving the money?
• Was there a better way for him to help her?
• Should Sunaina have gotten upset?
• Should Mr. Pratap (from Champion Breweries) even had told anyone that he did not give the money for the sponsorship?
• Should Demant just have given the money to Sunaina as a loan or gift- would Sunaina have accepted and should she?
• Would it have been best for Sunaina to use her family's money by selling the jewelry and bonds?
• Should Sunaina pay Demant back- will she? Will Demant accept her money back?

Think about all of these things as you answer- be creative & have fun! Don't be afraid to share your opinion and be respectful to others' ideas!

Thanks!!!

Great idea Blossom. Shall post my thoughts after the weekend. 😊

O i already started MOTW. hope u dont mind😳

Do you think Demant was wrong in giving the money? No, i dont think he was wrong becuase he is her best frnd and he wanted the best for her and he really cared for her and her dreams. Was there a better way for him to help her? Yes he could have gone with her to the company and helped to convine them to sponsor her or he could hav gone with her and encouraged her. Should Sunaina have gotten upset? Well i think she got too upset because demant was her best frnd na and he cared for her and well maybe she thot tht he would understand tht she really wanted to be independent. Should Mr. Pratap (from Champion Breweries) even had told anyone that he did not give the money for the sponsorship? No!! he shoudnt have! tellin other pple would make them think tht sunaina wanted them to feel sry for her. in he really respected the situation he wouldnt hav told a soul. Should Demant just have given the money to Sunaina as a loan or gift- would Sunaina have accepted and should she? no tht would hav made everything worse. sunaina is strict about her indepent state. she would never accept it. Would it have been best for Sunaina to use her family's money by selling the jewelry and bonds? yes i think sunaina should hav rather done this. it is better than taking money from an outsider.
• Should Sunaina pay Demant back- will she? Will Demant accept her money back?
• first of all i dont c how she will pay him back. if she could then she could hav started the exhibition herself. demant wouldnt accept the money back anyways because he is determined to help his best frnd.

Great ideas QT!

No problem- we can certainly start the MOTW!

Can't wait to hear your opinions Belle1989

I won't bother posting my opinion because I agree with mostly everything you said QT143. But I want to know where Demant got the money from... 😕

Any more opinions to share? 😊

Do you think Demant was wrong in giving the money? --> No, i don't think it was wrong of him for helping Sunaina out. As they say, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Was there a better way for him to help her? --> I don't think so. If I were in his position, I think I would do the same. Should Sunaina have gotten upset? --> Yes and no. Yes b/c it made her feel low and unworthy and made her feel that she is not capable of achieving things on her own. But no b/c she could have gently and politely told Devant that it was a nice gesture but that she could have done it on her own. Should Mr. Pratap (from Champion Breweries) even had told anyone that he did not give the money for the sponsorship? --> No! Absolutely not. I think it was real dumb of him to reveal all that. Should Demant just have given the money to Sunaina as a loan or gift- would Sunaina have accepted and should she? --> Yes, perhaps as a loan. Would it have been best for Sunaina to use her family's money by selling the jewelry and bonds? --> No, then it would have made her feel even more unworthy and make her feel that she was a burden to her family. Should Sunaina pay Demant back- will she? Will Demant accept her money back?
• --> Yes, I think she should pay him back and I think she will. I don't Demant would accept it because he wanted to help a friend out.

Great questions Shikha. 😃
