Don't forget to update your profile

I'm a psychotherapist, and I referenced this video in a CPD presentation last year about the Indian Oedipus Complex - in short as I expect you recognise, in Indian culture the mother traditionally holds a more revered position in the family, and the oedipal drives don't go upward (eg the son wishing to 'kill' the father in order to have the mother to himself) but instead they go downward (eg the mother 'kills' the husband/father in order to have the son to herself). In the video you can see the dominance of the mother (it is told from her point of view, and much less from the son who actually flies BA), and she makes an amusing dismissive reference to her husband right at the end, "...even his father was there..."
