Why did you leave her with that monster? why did you have that blind trust? There were so many instances a) He had slapped her. b) He has left her in a party alone c) She has come all the way to Muscat to tell her parents d) They even sought the help of the marriage counseller. e) Daily fights f) Agreement of divorce as well. "After all when you have lived with someone for one and a half years and that too someone you have loved, there is a bond that forms that can't go just because of disagreements. I know if I have decided to get out, I should do it soon but I've been dragging it and am still confused about my decision as I can't make myself hate him. I still care about him" I still think you guys must have told her to get out from there as such things only get downhill. She was no doubt confused. At such instances, it is best to take her/him out from staying together if one of them is instable. I also know it is difficult for her as she had given up her job and was in a new city. It also baffles me that her request to Amit to move out of their current house to Sarjapur house was not heeded by him especially when he had decided to take up a job overseas. my views only and thanks Ankush for sharing the real story. Yes, Amit was a coward. Wish people don't resort to suicide and killing. 328218@desicritics.org Sat, 5 Apr 2008 01:10:38 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328217 Googan, I think the Muslim family has every right to stay there. I wish all Hindus get out of there and Muslims settle there. This way we can have Hindu and Muslim colonies only. Where the hell do you live Googan in a Hindu only colony? 328217@desicritics.org Sat, 5 Apr 2008 00:40:54 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328204 Why does this Muslim family want to move in to a place where nobody wants them. Clearly the stress of living among such hostile neighbors will be more than any other advantages. 328204@desicritics.org Fri, 4 Apr 2008 23:33:40 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328198 t is refreshing to see the Mainstream media pick up stuff like this, instead of harping on divisions between people of different communities... I'm sure there are more people who stand up for their fellow citizens... maybe it is just that we don't get to hear of it.....:) 328198@desicritics.org Fri, 4 Apr 2008 21:17:24 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328197 Apparently Madhavi Kapoor is one of the sensible Indians who took time and effort to support fellow citizens. The action is more about her integrity and commitment and she stood by what she thought was right.Such practices of not allowing to buy property on the basis of caste/ Religion can be easily classified under discrimination and violation of constitutional rights. Do they have a clause in their society charter that it should not be sold to non-sindhis.. I guess no because their society would be denied registration if they keep such biased clauses. 328197@desicritics.org Fri, 4 Apr 2008 21:15:18 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328192 Value of property is determined by desirability of particular property and neighborhood. Once a moslem family moves into a Hindu colony, hindus start moving out of the colony, often crashing the property values in the process. Kapoor will get full value of her house, but rest of the people in that colony will not be so lucky. Other moslems will be able to move into that colony at bargain basement prices. I have seen entire hindu colonies transformed into Moslem ghettos in this manner. Now why hindus and moslems do not feel desirable to live among each other is a serious subject in its won right, but until both communities are reconciled to living in peace, forcing any family to live against their will can only create a negetive backlash and resentment. 328192@desicritics.org Fri, 4 Apr 2008 17:48:14 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/04/052530.php#comment-328115 Hats off to Madhavi Kapoor! The lady has courage. A few more Madhavi Kapoors, and Indian society can be transformed! Even though I don't like direct confrontation and violence, I personally will stand up for what I think is right, against what is wrong, like cruelty and discrimination against innocent people. Love and peace to all, Ayan 328115@desicritics.org Fri, 4 Apr 2008 06:30:54 EDT
