YMMV / Gowri Ganesha

• Values Dissonance: It seems awfully strange for an orphanage to just let Lambodhar take one of its boys away for a few days, when such a request in any Western Hemisphere orphanage would set off all kinds of red flags. However, in India, pedophilia against girls is treated seriously, while pedophilia against boys is seen as extremely unthinkable. This is due to homosexuality itself being such a deeply taboo concept there. At that time, Lambodhar is Happily Married, so the orphanage would have no reason to suspect him of such tendencies.
  • Becomes Values Resonance when Lambodhar formally adopts Ganesha.
• The Woobie: Gowri. Her mother died young, her father remarried to give her a mother, but that woman turned out to be a Wicked Stepmother; who then ejected her out of her house when her father died. She has inherited her father’s heart condition and needs a bypass surgery as soon as possible. She gets a job as an office clerk, but her dog of a boss demands that he sleep with her to keep her job. A rich man Chandramouli hires her to pretend to be his wife, but dies before he can pay her. She dies penniless of her heart disease in a government hospital.
