hey !!!

Let me introduce myself ... I am Ruchi. Glad to meet you.

I loved ur post.

I am quite surprised myself that they have included the story of Ram's sister Shanta in this. Whether she shall make an appearance in the show or not is a different thing all together. Lets see how they take it.

This however brings to light how people behave in the same situation and adopt different ways to overcome it.

The way in which this difference in approach to child birth has been brought out by showing Janak and Dashrath in same situation is commendable. It was hard hitting and very stark in ur face difference. This is my first point.

Janak did not have a child , he however despite his wife asking him to remarry wanted to shoulder the responsibility to face the world saying he was equally involved and it's not just the woman who needs to take the onus. What a progressive thought process he had for those times ?

Looking at King Dashrath , he had a daughter Shanta with Kaushalya but he wanted sons ! so he married Kaikeyi and Sumitra for this while the girl was given away for adoption . The new wives too could not give him children so A yagna was performed and the all 3 ate the sacred fruit which gave them 4 sons.

Yesterday he was shown too impatient and concerned for his sons, it makes me think did he ever pine for his daughter at all ?? Kaushalya 's displeasure confirmed my doubt ...he did not !!! It is so unfortunate ...guess it is from here that people imbibed that Girls are burdens to be given away and still believe it ! or that boys are more important than girls .

Secondly, the direction is top notch and intervowen !! one scene flowed into another ...no abrupt scenes !

3. The enchanting locales.

4. Soothing and apt BG score.

5. Cast is really good...specially King Janak And Rani Kaushalya ...her bitterness and disappointment was so visible! Awaiting for Ashish's entry as Ram ji ...and of course Sita ji played by Madirakshi.

Looking forward to the show and more interactive sessions.

Wonderful write up. I loved the first episode. Apart from showing the stark difference between Dasrath and Janak, the episode also showed us the essence of each character.

@ Ruchi, looks like u managed to watch the epi after all.😃 Lovely reading ur views.
