I will, say, though, that Dave's actions early on spell out pretty clearly that (despite an occasional perfunctory long-distance "I love you") he doesn't care whether the relationship continues--I wanted Nina to realize sooner that he wasn't worth it. And the parallels to Sita and Ram seemed pretty strained. (There's an entire tradition that says that her second banishment is apocryphal, and that they remain together after her rescue--see R. K. Narayan's version, for example (Penguin, 1998)).<br /><br />Pooja, thanks for suggesting some other ways of watching <i>Sita</i>!Pessimisissimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223566131580795337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186118329509553435.post-41351934340996520012009-08-23T12:20:00.994-07:002009-08-23T12:20:00.994-07:00One move you will not regret!
