"Akele Hum Akele Tum..." that's precisely the movie I saw a scene of and was bothered by a thought I just couldn't resist putting up here...
Imagine a situations, there is a married couple, the husband for some reason( be it his being orthodox or struggling himself), does not let his wife make her own career. He expects her to take care of the house and their child and that is it. However she has a passion,.a dream she had grown up with, and wants to make something of herself, she has been doing her duties all along but isn't happy being just a wife and a mother..
She is, so frustrated with her life, one day that she wishes to leave the house and chase her dream. The only thing she is worried about is her child, she loves him too much to abandon him, but she knows if she takes the child with her she will not be able to provide for him for at least till the time she struggles and rubs her heels on barren ground. She wants him to get all that could be provided to him...
So what is that she should do? stay back and kill her dream, stay unhappy for the rest of her life? or chase her dream, take her child along but keep him in rags too? or go alone in her quest leaving the child behind??
I wonder what is the right path?

Wrong choice of husband. Divorce him and get another. Anyways men are more than women now thanks to the same mentality that's enslaving the subject of this post. She could turn the tables and use the situation to her advantage.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we shouldn't let our parents choose.. imagine having to live with someone else's mistake! No emotional blackmail, pls.. our parents haven't done us any extraordinary favour bringing us up. They've would've done the same thing had anyone else been born to them. Respecting decisions is one thing, accepting impositions is another. The subject's parents are probably dying everyday right now seeing their daughter unhappy and knowing they have brought it about.
Anyways, that's a lesson meant for others. For our subject, well, at the risk of sounding heartless, I'd say leave and let the child undergo the problems. It'll emerge stronger and will respect its mother in future years. Take the case of the current miss India. On the other hand, staying on like this will make sure her child will have no respect for its mother, and will grow with the same mentality and the vicious circle shall continue. I've seen one too many cases already.
if we get case specific and talk about the movie it was a love marriage... and the parents did not want these two marrying... leaving that aside...talkin abt not letting your parents choose for you and abandoning the child... i dont think i quiet agree there has to be a better ans...
ReplyDeletethe only part i agreed with is where you talked about the vicious circle continuing!
