DOTW : Elder Couple Love

I tell you yaar, it is sooo good to see "all that lamps still blazing" amongst the older couples. They come off extremely adorable in the show :D Young love is all about passion..junoon, flirtation, excitement! its a new-found love! Romance and old age? gosh, if only we could count the number of times youngsters have snickered at that (giggle) Old love has more understanding than young/new . For old couples, its about simply reaching out and being there for each other every day.. through words, glances and caresses! and its sooo beautifully potrayed in basera.. the older couples ALWAYS make me smile! and mind you, im only 18! hehe! For older couples, they share so many memories, such a history..a friendship of sorts forms! Younger couples have a long way to go!
hehe, okay..that was my 2 cents !!!

oh P.S ---> great points to discuss :-D

Firstly, great post!! 👏 Let me try to answer.

* How is the elder couple bond different from the younger ones?

I guess, when young people fall in love, its more the harmones working. There is flirtation, trying to impress each other and generally, a heightened sense of passion. They are just getting to know each other and it takes time for their bond to grow stronger.

Older couples, on the other hand, would have shared all this in the past. They might still continue to do so but added to this is the time that they have spent together. This builds a friendship between them and a comfort level that is wonderful as they have shared and faced the various experiences of life together. They don't have to impress each other, rather love could be something as simple as a walk in the park or just sitting together reading or talking.

* Why in the older age, couples share a unique friendship?

Couples share a unique friendship when they are older because of the life experiences that they have shared together through the years. They would have learnt to compromise and adjust, something which younger couples find harder to do. In fact, its when one is older that companionship becomes all the more important.

* And why does their love go stronger in old age?

The four older couples in Basera bring a smile to your face because there is something very cute and very touching about the love between 2 people who are older in years but still young at heart!! 😳

Young love is all new, it's a self discovery of feelings for someone, it is wanting to have those feelings reciprocated verbally and physically.

As time passes it matures, you have learn to appreciate each other, know what pleases each other and find joy in small things that you do for each other. It doesn't matter whether the husband brings home a large bouquet or a single rose. staying home and having quiet dinner becomes more important that going out. A walk along the beach may be more romantic than dancing in a club.

In Basera Kesh/Ket have their time sitting on the jhula and sharing things. Aatish/Rasili, well he told her when he found her sitting on the bed with a face mask that she did not have to do anything of the sort as he likes her just the way she is ie those wrinkles and sunspots which comes as part and parcel of age are invisible, because a pretty face is not what makes her Rasili. Sachin/Manda, when he dots her forehead with paint, shows how he loves her face with a bindi, to him it is part of Manda he loves. Jannat/Vaquaar well he is shown that he still likes to flirt with his wife, even though they too have grandkids.

Love will go strong if you see each other as friends and companions in the journey of life. it is even more important because with age, you may one day find yourself having to care for one and another, especially now as grown up children move out and you are left alone, you don't have but each other.

*How is the elder couple bond different from the younger ones?
I think the elder couples bond is much stronger and not influenced by others...they know what is good and bad from them...They are very cute and take care of eachother....They have their own unique way of expressing their love and romance


Why in the older age, couples share a unique friendship?
coz they have seen all the ups and downs of life..they know the other person's mind and read it quite well..they know which one is a good character and who isnot good...Frenship has no boundary of age..in fact, the more aged frenship, the much deeper it is...


And why does their love go stronger in old age?

Their partner have been with them through thick and thin..When one is in problem then the other is with him/her so that they can combinely face the problem...thus, their love grows stronger in old age...
