I guess...it has to be ur mood...coz my clalibre ain't that high 😳 I just rant and ramble. Like reading has been ur hobby...writing is my passion. It de-stresses me...and i get completely absorbed in it...so, it works as a therapy for me too. And the main reason why i am able to share my writings here is solely coz of you guys..my readers! The aprreciation n encouragement keeps me going...So, i really wanna thank you for giving me the same for this OS also.
Well...Viren's characters has always been my FAV in the show. And i was just telling a friend, that it hurts to see him get ruined. I wanted and still want him to see in a role, similar to this OS..coz i find him as the brigde b/w the sisters...their support, their strength.
That Beeji, Madan, Manvi Viren scene...i expect something on those lines. Viren SHOULD feel bad for being kept in the dark. Aww!! Sorry for making u cry, Sabeeha...but i guess...its the biggest complement i could get. It shows that I was able to connect you with the character(s) and situation...so, your comments really made the whole effort worth it.
As for Manvi...glad taht i could put forth her POV slightly convincing for you.
Thanks again, buddy...i really LOVED ur comments. 😃
:L Your a great writer, there's no doubt about that so don't bring yourself down too much. Well in any case, your 'rants and rambles' make complete sense to me, so for the upteenth time, thanks for writing this :P
You see, I've always wavered between Viren and Virat as my favourite characters. Virat's always intrigued me and interestingly enough, I find him the easiest to write for because the character wears his heart on his sleeve. And Viren is a bit harder to write for because his thought process is so large and complex, but I'm guessing being from a lawyer family, you'll find that quiet simple to an extent.
I agree with you completely, what are they doing with Viren's character? The straight forward lawyer has been downgraded to a love guru; I mean please. There's so much more to the character, but the one good thing that's come out of this track is just the epic bonding of the brothers; absolutely adore them. I think the CVs have veered Viren back on to the track slightly in today's epi; the support of his brother and the ever obedient son-in-law.
I really can't wait for the revelation on screen; if it invokes even a tenth of the emotion or passion that your story did, then I would be ecstatic because it's obvious that the cast would do a perfect job. And, gosh, don't feel bad for making me cry! I never cry; I guess it's my personal defence mechanism, it's just something I never do, but this was just sooo good and believable that it just made all those emotions bubble up.
[Edit: Agree with you totally, Beeji what are you doing? To be honest, she ultimatley wanted to tell Jeevika at the start, had her heart set on it but our adamant Mannu refused. But, arguing against it, if Jeevika did find out and Manvi refused treatment, then Jeevika would just smack her senseless for thinking so crazily like any older sister would. What the hell are you doing Beeji?]

Aww! Sabeeha...🤗 Now i really dunno what to say. First your comments on part 1 and then here...Your words have touched me immensely. I can understand your pain. Life can be very unfair or harsh for some...just like it was for your cousin. I have personally seen a lot of people suffering from this disease...so, i can understand what you n ur mum must have gone through. Also, suffering from a life-long disease myself...i get damn angry at the CVs at the way they're handling cancer.
And yeah... I'm sorry if i couldn;t do justice to the disease...or made any blunder in my narration..
I'll reply to your other post later...saw ur comments for part 2, and couldn't resist writing back.
Thanks a lot for liking the way i weaved the story. I really wanted Viren to be the sister's strength and support...but the CVs seem to be having other plans. So, i decided to ramble myself, in the story. I'm extremely relieved and glad that you liked it.
As for Virat..well, i didn't write abt him n Manvi...coz then that would've taken the story in another direction. I wanted to reveal the news to Jeevika...and hence, my focus was on them.
Also, as per their characters, writing Manvi-Virat is quite different from writing abt JV...and, i didn't want to expand my scope.
Thanks again, buddy! Your comments made my day 😃
That's what infuriates me about the CVs, because as you and countless number of people know is just to what extent and how powerful conditions and diseases such as cancer are. Like yourself, I also have a life-long condition that I was diagnosed with just a week and a bit ago, and man it sucks, don't it :L (Humour is the way forward, my friend =]) So in my mind, we have an absolutely legitimate reason to be annoyed at the handling of the track; tbh, the less said the better as I can go on and on and on and on...
(Sorry, went off on a tangent :L) Can I just say, the reason why I'm so attached to this particular piece is because how realistic it is, and you have done 100% justice to it. The fear, the hurt, the despair, the slow realisation and acceptance; you've pretty much nailed down the essence of both the show and of the very different but similar stories of the effect of cancer.
Oh yeah, about Virat and Manvi; I agree it's completely different writing for them than it is Jeevika and Viren, but what I was trying to get at was even though this is a JV based OS, the briefest mention of the revelation to Virat made a massive impact, and that in itself is just testament to your writing skills.
Sorry, after reading your posts, I just had to reply just to reaffirm just how much I loved this. I am genuinely really glad that you wrote this because it was just beautiful and captivating in every sense of the words.
