Week 48 - Clarity

Lack of clarity creates chaos and frustrations in our mind and these emotions hinders in achieving our goal in life! However clarity in thoughts always guides our actions and a clear action takes us to a defined goal.

The week started off with Shruthi expressing her love for Dev. And Dev praising her beauty 👊🏻😡, but explaining to her that Love does not even exist. Even though its such an unimportant event this week, I am reminding that scene, only because it leads us to the moment when Sonakshi's "Clarity of thought" became evident to us.


For her, "Dev was never able to take any decisions on his own and lacked the courage to face the facts and respect the relationships he had made. She had made a mistake by allowing him in her life..and giving him the love that he never deserved.. Even the decision of getting separated from her was a decision that he could not take on his own..He was so much spineless that he had to depend on his mom for everything.." --- Very true from Sona's angle. She lost her 'Self respect' when she was with Dev and has it now, that she is away from him.


On monday, I realized that if I had known ONLY Sonakshi's side of story, I would have been on her side - hands down. Even though I am otherwise, a very feminist person, I have been on Dev's side all along, because I know his side of the story too...  Sonakshi's clarity came from the fact that Dev did not stand up for her even though he loved her. I was quickly transported to the time of Sonakshi's accident when Dev explained to her, how dealing with business is so easy compared to family and how he was trying his best to keep every member of his family happy always, but is never able to do that often times. Family is "ours" and we can never give up on any of them. Sonakshi had also once, mentioned how she was never able to be strict with her brother's eating habits because of the fact that he is "family". I  wonder, why a husband-wife relationship is often not taken in this spirit...especially in today's world.


Anyway - Sonakshi's side of story is quite convincing that she has no 'self-respect' in her life with Dev and its not worth fighting for, especially after he dumped her in no time, just like that 😢


When she had this clarity in her thoughts, all her actions were in pursuit of only one thing "Earning that self respect for herself and proving that she is no less than anyone else".  Everything else has taken a backseat.


-------

Dev has always been a child-like person. He does not manipulate in matters of family, even though he can do it pretty efficiently for business. When he realized that his family members, each one of them including his mother have been manipulating against him, he was quite devastated. Which is why, his true friend right now, is only a six year old child, who is innocent. The happiness he gets in interacting with a child is far better than interacting with an adult..any adult!

Even that night in the hotel, Sonakshi only proved this to him - Manipulation. If Sonakshi has a message to pass on to Dev, she could have said it on his face! Why send it through Shruthi? And that night ended with Bijoy's interference and manipulation as well. A police was not needed 😞


Dev's clarity of thought came through this week during his little conversation with his mother and I consider it as the best scene this week! Dev is very clear that his happiness is his responsibility and he is not going to depend on other's smile for it! It was one of the biggest life lessons that his mom and Sonakshi have taught him. He wants to do what he feels right. But, in no way, has his responsibilities at home been discounted at all. Because, he very well remembers that his mother separated him from Sonakshi only because of this worry!  All his actions are based on this clarity of thought - that he will stay happy. However, as Golu rightly pointed out - big cha was sad and his eyes are a proof 😒😢 The only happiness he ever wanted for "himself" was Sonakshi's company and he lost it in a matter of a few minutes...Inspite of his sadness that he was dwelling in, Dev lived his moment to the fullest in the company of Golu who has now become his best friend! 😊


This new avatar of Dev definitely has the ability to identify the weeds in his life. And he didnt hesitate to show Vicky his place! I had always wanted to see this power in Dev. After all, maami and Vicky are only living in his mercy and I always questioned his inability to question them. But this week, he got the stock market profit with style,  questioned Vicky's decision to sell property and clarified to him that he was just a "puppet" and even made fun of mami's BP - all in a filmy superstar-ish way!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽


------

Of all things going on in my mind, I got clarity on one thing  - Both Dev and Sona set extraordinary parenting goals!! Even though Dev was parenting only Vicky's son, the quality time Golu got from Dev in ways of bedtime stories to playing cricket to going on a bike ride made him the  bestest fatherly figure! Sonakshi's honest, independent and bold advice to her darling daughter Suhana was admirable and inspite of her business pressures, Sonakshi never postponed spending time with Soha in contrast to Eleena and Vicky! Every scene was enjoyable. But I enjoyed the "Boys are from mars and Girls are from venus" advise to the little kids! Suhana and Golu bring us a new flavor of Sonakshi and Dev!

One more thing that was pretty clear to me this week - both Dev and Sona are mad and anyone who comes in between them is proven mad as well. Whether it was Shruthi or the police in the hotel or Vicky who sold part of Dev's office space to Sona - whoever came between them were all proven crazy! 😂


-----

We all know Mami and Vicky have one clear goal in their life and that is to become rich using Dev's money. Vicky was gutsy enough to sell the property that was given to him with lot of trust! It was no wonder to me that Dev was protective of his property. Dev has always been a person with very deep roots. His office space definitely was close to his heart and to give it away and have someone else's name in the space was a big blow to him. But, I felt that when he knew that it was Sonakshi who has taken it, he was somewhat ok with it! However, I was confused with his reaction on her spelling the name board in her name. I was not able to say whether he was upset that Sonakshi's sur name is not Dixit anymore or if it was more because of his name being replaced in the office space...

What surprised me beyond limits was Ishwari's reaction to the whole scenario. She was not bothered that her son's sentiments were shaken. She was not bothered that Vicky attempted to cheat and forge. She was not even bothered that the hard earned property of her son went out of hand. She was only bothered that Sonakshi was again coming closer to her son Dev!!! She even dared to put the blame on Sona instead of Vicky!! I could not comprehend the sort of woman that she is, leave alone a mother and I seriously feel that she needs medical intervention.


This time around, mama ji's advice to Ishwari was not impressive.. but we cannot blame him. Even he does not know the full story.


There was also one thing that bothered me a little this week.. And that was Sonakshi's attitude. However bad Dev behaved with Sona, she definitely knew that Dev was an honest businessman and she always respected Dev's hard earned success in life. I failed to understand why she was adamant in being in that office 
😒 The only good reason I can think of is that, she wishes to be around and keep an eye on him, especially after seeing him around with other girls!!


Whether it was with Shruthi or Paro, Dev was quite charming and I am sure that Sonakshi wants to keep the other girls away from him!


-----

At the end of the week, I realized one thing about Dev and Sona - Like the horse with its bridle, their mind is set on only one thing ever since that dreadful night when they got separated..Even though they don't have a clear path, they keep making affirmations for themselves that "they can do it", keep taking that step forward and keep going straight...Even though they have a restless heart, they don't stop for the fear of falling down...The new song is very appropriate for this season 😊

I belong to the generation that is neither too conservative to ignore all of the spouse's mistakes nor too modern to walk away in a snap. Every time, I find myself (and rightly so) constantly questioning about the situation I am in, and coming to the conclusion that I have a beautiful life and a beautiful family. The relationships always end up being more important than the problems ❤️


My sincere hope is that Dev and Sona introspect their situation in the light of the next generation kids around and realize the beauty of the life and the shortness of the life and get back together without any delay. The process of this will be a treat to watch  ❤️😍
