Shradha,
I loved your topic and your passion and it caught my attention so much that i decided to write at 11.45 at night. I am a bigger pendulum than daadi i guess. one day i am so passionate about the serial and get upset and on another day i get dejected and accept that it is not my story and i accept what trash they dish out to me. Anyway some jottings of mine i have posted.
Just saw your post and thought to post some feelings -
Let me emphasise here
that the reasons I started watching geet was the advertisements of Geet and I
gave up a serial I had religiously followed without missing an episode just
like that for Geet and have followed it till date for two reasons. This is
only my POV
1.
It was about a girl who wanted to be empowered
and about a guy wanted to empower her.
2.
They (the CV's) stole my heart when she fell in
love with a guy (Maan) other than the guy who had cheated her and she was not
forced by so-called SOCIETAL obligations to accept the guy who had cheated her.
3.
In her heart and mind she wanted her revenge on
Dev. (Which I have now modified to will not forget what Dev did to her and will
ignore him by not giving him any importance in her life)
But I just cannot accept Dev and Geet near each other and so please kill that thought from wherever it started.
I wanted a slap for Dev which i did not get.
I wanted a slap for arjun which i did not get.
But I live in hope.
4.
I could not relate to
her keeping the baby, was against it and then started to love the baby and the
CV's really made me angry by making me fall in love with the baby by saving it
again and again and making it superbaby and then pulling the rug from under my
feet with the final axe, the song from tere mere sapne, jeevan ki bagiya when I
finally realized my superbaby is going to be no more. I mourned by not seeing
the MC episode. Anyway that is another story.
5.
Everytime I felt bad
about how they portrayed geet , I was told it is
necessary for a serial and this is necessary for drama and that it is not my
story and there is only so much that I can say. So I kept quiet.
6.
But as long as the first
three are maintained, I will have no problem following the serial.
7.
Their story changes with
every leave of a character and so if Maan is not available, then Maan and geet have
to fight or more and more of MM,CC, PP (NASA) ; if Geet is not available, then
Maan and Geet will fight etc''so where is the consistency in any case. But it
is a drama you see.
Anyway from what I have
understood by seeing the episodes of geet is this '
Everybody is treating
dev like long lost brother, and he moves here and there without question.
Geet is in her own
world.
She is suffering from
post MC depression which is actually dangerous. Physically she might be okay
but nobody asks her what she wants for herself, life.
Love is fine, that she
loves maan but is love everything. Can't she have her own opinion too.
She must be feeling so
drained.
She comes from the most
backward family where first daarji, then father, then brother, then running to
save her baby and now the reason for living, her baby is not there. And the reason
for living she has to find herself. Till then she will be like this bhatakti
aatma.
She
has had an MC two days back. People take months to get out of depression.
She doesn't have any
family of her own. She left that behind in HP.
She came only with a
baby which was hers.
Now she has lost that.
She is trying to get her
bearings.
She wants to go to the
orphanage.
She left Dev the father
of her baby long behind when she said abse yeh dev ji nahin, sirf dev
hai.
At present she is not
thinking of anybody, other than her loss.
In this state of mind, i
have even known a lady trying to commit suicide. don't they deserve our
empathy.
Till a few days ago I
could not even accept that she could forgive Dev but then I read something
which made me change my mind and I repeat, all credits to Opti's post
"The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and
forget; the wise forgive but do not forget." - Thomas S. Szasz, a
Hungarian psychiatrist.
Maybe Geet is naive but
I am not. So I was ready to go the forgiveness but not forgetting route just so
Geet heals herself and only for her own sake. After all she is a human being and
as the sister in sound of music once famously sang ' She is a girl'. isn't she?
But I really don't know
what is coming in the next episode.
And I really really hope
that my basic three points are not meddled with, I live in hope despite all the
twists and turns that they have charted out.
Edit
So there are some pictures which everybody is talking about of Dev holding Geet's hand. I am a total cube on this since i don't go to FB or anywhere.
Thanks CV's, that is all we wanted. Are there any more nails that you want to hammer into the coffin.
Here we are going on saying Maan and Geet are husband and wife and let them get angry with each other like normal husband and wife and sort out their problems and you have started your geometrical progressions. 🤢
