Me and villains? 😆 I'm not sure I can do justice to the dark streak in anyone.

In fact, I hate the moniker villain.

Sometimes, the motivations behind an action - if not more - are just as important as the act itself. The man in restraints calls the other man a villain and that's about it. As the other man's response goes, he was perhaps only the captive's villain.

Did you ponder on that thought?

That was unexpected! Shiv :O. He is different with different people. Just like we are. What if Anandi finds out this? Or maybe that is why Shiv left Udaipur :|.
Looking forward to next :).

WOW...watched the video...Lovvved him...😳

Some are called plot props/details and the cigarette is one of them. You don't see that written in every scene. Moreover when the character plays out a certain way in your head, you cannot help it either.

Hope you understand :)

Just like Avi, an update a day, sometimes half, sometimes two, more out of time restraints than anything else. But the girl's on to something... certainly allows you to savour the story.

Anthapura... Hasini, it's been a while... I had not realised just how much I've missed your work until I started reading this story. Thank you for the PM, by the way. I would have missed out on a great piece had you not brought it to my attention.

The great thing about reading a story with a base from a show I've not seen is that I have the complete freedom to experience everything - the characters, the situations, right down to the very atmosphere - solely from your words and the world you've created from them. It's no surprise then that I'm quite fond of the ambitious, resolute and curious Anandi, the witty, collected yet mysterious Shiv, the conflicted and, in your words, larger-than-life (although I am yet to fully agree on this) Mitra and Prithvi... who, despite being the one with the more obvious air of angst and mystery, is the one I feel I can understand the most.

When I began to read the story, I tried to put my bias for Prithviraj aside and discern my feelings for your Prithvi only through your words. But now, I see that my feelings for both are in the same grain... sign me up to the Prithvi Fan Club too, please. It's going to take quite a lot for me to warm up to Shiv the way I have to Prithvi, although I did agree with his views on Mitra and Prithvi's relationship and his warning for Anandi. And the man has yet to make his presence felt in its entirety, to bring himself forth in to the place where he perhaps will finally step out of the haze... the present... so who knows, maybe he does have a fighting chance... ;)

Coming to the latest chapter... I am slightly leaning towards the idea of the 'villain' (used dubiously here, as I too am sound with your idea of the word) being Shiv. Why? A hunch, perhaps because had I been the writer, I have a feeling I may have made him so. But also... is this so called villain not torturing the man about an ambitious water project? Now was he lost on his way to recant his vote for said water project or will it merely be said so, that that was his wish? And by whom, the profanity lover?

A villain to only the bhen***d... does that make him a saviour to others? Does that make him Shiv? I wonder...

Did you change your picture, H? I was on my phone a half hour ago and I could have sworn that it was the feather pen holding Lahari I saw...

Lahari .. thanks for the PM ... I don't watch the show .. but I will definitely read your version of the tale .. Bookmarking it for after exams .. :D

( I had that issue until last week, but I took time off to meditate on Shiv for a while and I have quite literally fallen for him. Its a matter of another 3-4 updates. Then everything will be as racy as it can get.)

( Yes! I did. I have like three profile pics to choose from (the witch, free and the writer) and its quite rare that I will post anything else.)

Thank you for coming back! You have been missed.
