Thank you for your kind words, but I haven't been posting at all these days because of a work load gone insane. I have managed to write something offline for Mudra and another story which haven't been named yet. If you are interested, I can certainly PM you for those.

Once again, thanks much.

"I wasn't a masochist by nature, but to be near and far at once was a harmless association I couldn't deny myself. Besides that indulgence, I have never had other aspirations for us. "--- a honest approach to the feelings felt at heart, foolishly indulging for few moments of togetherness which will be later cherished as treasured memories.

"The few moments that had given me everything and taken away all else, were my own vision of a dream that had seeped past the seams of reality." Exactly that's what I meant with my earlier statement...You script very beautifully...very admirable!

" The tug and push and the web of complexities that I spun for myself in wanting the simple pleasures of life". --- I have no idea of the backdrop of this story or the serial which this story is associated with...but simple truth like the quoted statement makes me interested...A feeling which I could relate to, that makes it a fascinating read...

"I'm content with the memories of us locked inside the courtyard of my soul, hidden deep among all things forbidden. My own Anthapura - a world unto itself. "---wow! Loved the way how Anthapura was introduced...there was something poetic in the expression courtyard of my soul...

Chapter -1

"It took me a while to realize that I only loved Jagya like everyone else you are bound to accept. Just as those other relationships you never had a choice to begin with" --- wow! an insightful thought! Even I didn't realize this hardcore truth..

"with time I gained the clarity to compartmentalize the hurt from that relationship; to acknowledge my life for what it was.---Not at all easy!!!

The process still hadn't been easy and I had gone numb in someways.--- It happens!! the growing up process is a killjoy!

I didn't know if one could truly get over relationships that broke you into a thousand pieces, perhaps in the future I would, but in the meantime I learnt to tune out the pain, if nothing else. ---- The only way to survive!

"initial solace I found in the monotony, soon lost its appeal and I craved for a bit of unpredictability to be thrown into my everyday din." --- Natural yearning..and it gets strong...the clutches of that frustrations sometimes chokes you!!

"With more doubt in my own decision - rather than the apprehension that came with such ambitious propositions - I expressed my interest to further my studies--- felt this feeling very realistic emotion..often when we go for decision making, a small part of heart questions you restlessly and mercilessly, rechecking with you again and again -- do u really want this?? are you ready for this etc.

"They were convinced that it was indicative enough I wouldn't go into a downward spiral and fade within the fringes of everyday life---beautiful scripting!!

"senile enthusiasm "--- cool usage to expression the elder's sincere wishing

", I have never been able to understand why I had presumed his acquiescence to be the only natural progression to Daadisa's offer. ---- aha! this line justifies the title! Often we act before getting the full facts, we jump into conclusions n act rashly only to understand later that it was a foolish move..

Ha ha...Shiv really impressed me with his cool composure! and his hidden sense of humor and his gentleman behaviour!

". If life was about living by a few principles, then it was also about breaking some. Especially, if it could set my dreams of an higher education into motion - refusing to take help would only prove I was both stubborn and foolish. Anything to get myself out of a wedding, I reminded myself" ----Atta girl!! go for it! that's attitude and thats how u make a deal!!

If not collector saab, then Daadisa would surely summon another groom even out of thin air.--- lol! oldies really have a knack for that! I agree!

Chapter- 2

Aha! I love men who act on their promise, not just promise and forget it...Plus if the guy has a quicksilver charm. then ask me when I fell for him :-)

"It was plain for anyone to see the leverage he'd with her, when she saw him as my prospective groom. According to Daadisa, the possibility still remained as a silent lingering hope and so, she was only pleased to oblige any request from him"--- Daadisa reminds me of my Nani..ha ha!

"Not friendship. Not that of a romantic nature either. It was the beginnings of a wave of earnest affection that would have tossed between the shores of friendship and love, a wave now lost to the impulse of a premature kiss. " --- Wow!! I loved the comparison of a relationship which can't be categorized into a wave which can either hit a shore of love or friendship...it was a really beautiful metaphor!

""I'm one person who firmly believes that not everything can be solved by taking external help. You have crossed those bridges and many more all by yourself." --- Shiv is smart and he is right too! Their whole interaction was wonderful...Anandi went overboard by her self pity attitude, by calling herself a charity case..No wonder Shiv got angry...A man like him is bound to be angry hearing those words..

""You deserve the best and I don't see why my good deeds deserve an explanation, when by my standards they hardly pass for favors.""If anything, its a privilege."--- wow! any woman will be floored hearing such sincere words from a man who means it...

"Some assurances did run deep when spoken without words." ---- Very true!! a small silent gesture speaks volume! Many don't know how to express such kind of love, many don't know how to decipher such emotions behind those gestures...some long for such assurances...some are not blessed with such assurances...so Anandi be happy that you got a friend like him...

Chapter-3

A man with patience will always get my vote! Am so impressed with Shiv listening to Anandi's fears about college, guiding her through the whole admission process! Some relations are really weird, we can't explain it..but the feeling of securedness it gives makes us forget the weirdness or its inexplicable complexities..

I agree with Shiv, love fades away after a period of time...If we don't fight to keep it alive...it would be gone at lightening speed..

"Love is like Santa Claus, a fairy tale of sorts. It exists only until you believe in it. The problem is it lives on even if its only one person believing in it. Now, what takes work are relationships" --- i did believe once like Anandi..but you know, it takes two to make a relationship work...One sided love tires you out after a time...you can believe in love but be practical to live your life...If u are going to wait for love to happen in your life, sometimes u might wait forever and never find it...yes, hope is a factor but don't hope too much...be reasonable..

"I felt consumed, spent and judged all at the same time, which furthermore made me acutely aware of the tenderness in that moment. " ---a tear would have threatened to roll out if I feel such tenderness...:-) There is something about this man!!

". Taking a step back did not make sense, while taking a step further caused an aching that reached deep into my bones. Without knowing what was the push or shove I was waiting for, I couldn't take my life forward".---- again brilliant scripting...I loved the way you described Anandi's predicament...Sometimes we don't see any light at the end of the tunnel...but we keep going on...

" Beyond education, I had no vision for a future. As embarrassing it could turn out, I best decided to be honest than appear curt.

"There isn't one, Shiv," I said softly with a smile. "At least, not yet." --- Brilliant!
