In cases like Sita's we choose apathy because there is not much we can contribute. I contribute it to economic hardship and lack of opportunity for these poor folks who get to live a semi-decent life working as maids and servants.

Life in US like you described it is pretty authentic, that's exactly how it is for most people I guess. It's all for the search of a better life or so they think!

As for the ending it was totally filmi......what are the chances of that happening? Fate or no fate...

Anyways, kuddos for the imagination!
