RAYA SS: RAM.... (Completed) - Page 18

Hey bhagwaaaan! Ofcourse, I see now why you didn’t really like the book!🤣 None of the books from the series, if read alone or read in just bits and parts, would make any sense! It’s like a tightly knit story… you need to read it from the first page and read it patiently… something happen first and the reason or explanation for those things takes place at a much later place in the book!😅

Also, the literary references are a bit heavy at times… but agar dil mein literature k liye Shraddha hai toh you’ll get it. 😛And if at any point You need help to understand anything regarding the book(if you read it), I am just a PM away!😅

Thank you greeshmaputri!🤗 I know you’re always a pm and tag away!

I will put them in my read list… Waise, I saw the first part as film in jumping knots.. do you recommend the 1st book as well?

I am right now in comic and film phase, novels me sci-fi ki lamba list baaki hai ..I will definitely get to this series one fine weekend… since it has been recommended by 2 people ,who kinda get mi’sense 😆

I like the cutesy nickname… Greeshmaputri what ever that means! Thank you!🙊

There are three movies for just the first book… did you see them all?😻

As for recommendation, I said earlier too… I have my personal interests invested in the movie, given that I kinda “know” the male lead personally, so ofc I’ll only say good things about it for his sake!🤣

But even otherwise, as an unbiased person, I really recommend the movie series and also the book series… movie series because it’s very rare that they produce an almost exact replica of the book… and this movie series is that! And book series because it’s one of its kind… it’s not 50 inspired, I assure you that much and it’s actually a treasure box to a lot of extra knowledge! I personally learnt a lot from the book series! So I’d really recommend it!😁

No not all three ..just 1st one,that too scrub jumps …like I told you… I get creeped out of the trope… was a huge twilight fan in teens… and somehow, along the way… something shifted ☺️

Not that there is anything odiously wrong with the trope, but all the ones that I came across are crazy singular directional and dimension 🤪Again, will definitely put in mind about what you said…😉

Sounds very princess-sy(like from the times of Kauravas and Pandavas)🤣

About the male lead of the movie… Personally as in he and I are almost work colleagues… almost did a project together, his manager pulled ties in between, so he is not a part of the project now. But we have been in contact, on and off! Plus we have some common friends in Italy!😅😅😅🧿😅

About the trope… I get it! 50 shades is especialy excrutiatingly torturous to read and this series had some things that were odiously wrong, to quote your words. But there are other good books of the genre, with varying trope— and they are kinda good! Just that they have bad boys turning into romantic heroes but other than that they are good. GI is one of them, there are also other such series. When twilight was a rage, I was lost in the world of Agatha Cristie😅 so I never ventured it! But I love the movies and the songs🥺

Jane and Agatha were my constant companions till my late teens and early 20’s ❤️, they helped shaped some of my psyche and made part in my mental models of character development arcs that I used to do as an exercise during improv and writing classes…

Harry potter and twilight were and still generational pop culture.

They were actually the reason that got me into scriptwriting as a hobby…

that eventually made me and my friends produce and present a play in local theatre, after 10-12 shows, it became monotonous and boring and tedious …we recovered expenses and made 50% profit per head and went our ways of proper professional(expected) 😂courses … at the end of every show we all used to have a Pizza and Pepsi party… See, A simple mention of agatha can make me blabber this much🙈☺️

So, I am giving it a fair shot as I said!

I started the series…! So far I feel bad for Paul 😛.. didn’t form any opinion on leads yet… Julia seems ok, Emerson needs to emerge yet…😂

Ahhh! Same girl same! I love Agatha just too much!😅 although, I never really got into script writing or fictional writing… Abhi tak! Who knows what future holds and I might try my hands at fiction— everyone around me says I am good at language so I can write a book, so I might do that… but I can’t think of a plot!😅 But yes, even as a non-fiction writer I do look upto her style of writing and try to imbibe some of her characteristics in my works. Jane Austen and Bronté sisters toh fir jaan hai!😅

But I am glad you started reading GI… Paul! You’ll feel sorry for him at many points!😅 Emerson bhi aayega line mein… haye! Do keep us posted on your thoughts.

Ritika will say we have hijacked her ff space with Gabriel, Giulio, Twilight, and 50 shades talks but behen hai Humari, she’ll not mind(hopefully)🤣

Nah I don't mind at all.😆

Infact I'm quite enjoying your conversation myself. I have never read agastha but seeing how you both are so inspired by her work will definitely read her books.

Then by all means, you should explore this segment and author…

A completely different but similar(as in mystery, thriller albeit with drama) trope, Agatha’s creation… Hercule Poirot.

I fell into her work, when I read “Peril at end house” in my school library… that was a starting point for me…

but my favs are “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” and “Five Little Pigs”

She also wrote Miss Marple, though the trope is similar,

I think she wrote her with her own hidden personality( inspired from Margaret miller, her step grand ma I think)…😆 one heck of a woman, that she is! I felt amazed, humoured, entertained, admiring that spinster lady of uncertain age😆 it is rare to have female main characters to have such canto and rhythm and no care to the worldly standards kind of intellect functioning in male oriented situations with such confidence,wit,capabilities ❤️ and agatha wrote her in 1930’s…

If you want a short read, can be done with in a day or two.. it would be “a murder is annaounced” with Miss Marple.

P.S. : this is technically a hijack only🤣 which I realised just now… but behen, if this can make any young mind start with austin’s or Christie’s even out of naïve curiosity and intrigue… the mind opens up a new portal of thinking 🤩

P.P.S: sorry,but not sorry, behen☺️🤣

Well I can see by all your rambling how your portal of thinking has opened. I will give my a try😉

P.S.: i don't mind anyone hijacking any of topics if it's a stimulating conversation as this one. Just it shouldn't be a WWIII 😆
