Awesome five takes Kshithi😃

Wonderful episode⭐️

Kshithi, I missed beginning part of the episode yesterday so when I read your first of the five take this morning, I was bit confused but
now that I have gone and caught up on those 10 minutes I can completely relate
to the emotional quotient you were referring to...We generally tend to side and sympathise
with the person who is able to vent out their trauma through various channels...anger,
tears, sorrow or grief the one who's suffering in silence is overlooked mostly
but that does not in any way imply that the person is suffering any less than the one who's able to express
it...this was beautifully shown through Dashrath
yesterday, the one who's unable to let go but has to place his subject and his
duties above his personal grievances...

I agree with you on your point about communication
completely, this is very crucial for any relationship to work however I have a
different view on outsider trying to bridge gap between husband and wife...this
is what is promised to each other at the end of Saptapadi

"I am the Sky and you
are the earth,I am the mind and you are the voice, I am the music and you are
the song, you and I follow each other"

There is no place for an outsider - be it parent or child -
the moment third person is intervening between husband and wife the sanctity of
marriage i.e. trust is broken and this is what disappointed me about yesterday's
episode - I would have loved to see Ram
cajoling, pleading Kaushalya to have
this all important conversation with
Dashrath - doing same with Dashrath and
then giving them space to sort it out-the story of Shanta should have been revealed by both the parents and Rama
should have taken upon him to serve justice to Shanta - that would have been right
conclusion for me- creative liberties are being taken to modernise so why not
here- why shouldn't we also address this issue about trust, ego, companionship
and communication that's so important for all relationship but becomes so much
more important in a married life!

Would have loved to write more but it's past midnight in
this part of the world-so may be another day! till then adios!!

- My emotion was mainly towards the society or the practices which would compel a father to let go his daughter. It was in no way towards Dasharath. Both Dasharath and Kaushalya acted upon their love, one for the love of the subjects, and the other because of the love for a daughter. Having said that, I completely agree with your points. And those who cannot express suffer the most.

- Yes, I would have loved to see something like this too. In an ideal situation there should not a mis-communication between husband and wife. And regarding the outsider, it is true that a third person would be able to see things clearly. If a son wants to bridge the gap between his parents, it is okay. May be the way he did it might have been wrong. He could have done something like you suggested.

Once again, wonderful take 5 from you Kshithi.

In this along with the take 5 you have also raised the very relevant point of discrimination prevalent in the society, and this is not only in India, it is all pervasive.

And was much more in those days, when there were very clear lines of caste, gender etc along which society was segregated.

No matter how much Dashratha repents, or hides behind his duty as King to provide a male heir to the throne, he was unfair to his daughter and he drove her to make the choice she did.

And discrimination is an unfortunate reality that we must fight at every step in every way!
