alright um back sam....much delayed but the first to show off in records again!!...an advancing part on emotions it was...the GOTW reference um guessing was def an edge more familiar to more people on the forum than ur earlier refernecs but i liked the comparison u drew....also the way Rahul proved her biased analysius wrong...it has come to me so, in the past few years, that for the one we know our heart inclines we tend to, in the company of others specially those who know us well, defy the obvious n come up with the most logical appearing absurd reasons as to 'WHY NOT'!!!....somehow...that happens...as the lady here, in the honesty of her head knows what she feels...but is not only defying it but also coming up with reasons which are anything but infallible....glad rahul holds not only a sane head but also a stable candid heart, i loved i think, best in this part, his confession for muskaan.....and have to admit ruefully i havnt known too many guys to be as candid in the very first round of interrogation!!!he takes the trophy for me this once undeniably....
armaan ridhima's bit....duno why sam but i think i missed something thr, no certainly not any lack of passions or over sweeping moments u kept their bond n interaction at just the right level....but something abt it, unlike the times of their interactions until now, did not make me think of the scene enuf....i felt my thots strayed back to the rahul ridhima scene instead, or even to the ridhima armaan scene of dancing....cant point exactly wat was amiss for me....but if something was missing for real u wud know best i trust...(ps: i hope u wont take anything wrong here...soemwhere iu trust u wont, its just ur writing is pretty dear to me, the way it comes n id be anything but fair if i didnt say wat i really thot....)
thats most of it./...for now...i guess...all in all...an advancing part like i said, i know n agree this aint gona be a story of verbosely expressed emotions...soemwhere theres a beauty in that which cant be words....n this story ebfits the idea most certainly, but i do see in the very small things the big leaps the two of them are taking....i guess we will be head on for some hard facts soon...abt anji armaan...abt akit....about atul too perhaps????...RM maintain a dear spot, i cant help but 'AAWWW' reading abt them 😆😆😆
oh n a quickie....i dont think i mentioned this before...i love the way u describe clothes, its alwaz the ideal way, a side description which doesnt interfere the flow n still captures a picture of the scene!!! kudos sam, will await the next eagerly!

🤗 🤗
For both - the long essay and the candid comments! and why should I take offense at any of your comments, girl? 🤗
Yup, I figured GWTW would be something that alot more people would recognise but still thought it prudent to mention the reference cos you need to know that to recognise excatly what you did...that Ridhima is drawing comparisions where none exist, simply to stave off having to think of what, perhaps, somewhere, her heart is begining to acknowledge....and I guess Rahul's acceptane of his affections for Muskaan to Ridhima comes from years of togetherness where they have been close friends and confidants...I must admit that I did think about this once, just once, but since my closest buddy is a guy and we've shared everything with each other including, I must admit shamefacedly, some god awful details, this seemed natural to me!
On Armaan and Ridhima's part, would love to know what you thought was amiss, seriously....I guess what I was trying to show was that the generally sensible Armaan could throw caution to the winds and happily lie to his freinds to steal this time away from time with Ridhima...guess we all have shades of grey and do things w/o cognizance of what we are doing..and since neither of them have really realised what they are heading towards, but yet are drawn to each other, the interactions are personal yet not overtly romantic..is that what you were talking about? Would love to know...
🤗

grt goin...update soon!

NZ :)

Hi Nijal!
I swear NJ and you are kindred spirts...you both think alike! 😆 AM glad you like dth RR convo...thats the kind of convo I would have with my best buddy who happens to be a guy!
As to Armaan, I guess we all are mired in shades of grey which come to the fore sometimes....and we do things without realising or regretting them...till someone points out what we have done...and I guess in Armaan's case he does not feel the need to apologise to Anjali cos as far as he is concerned there is nothing between them....to him he owes as much guilt to her as he owes to Ankit or Atul as you will see...
Poor Ankit, I feel terrible with so many people not liking him, but I guess like everyone else, its his shade of grey coming to the fore! His willingness to not even consider the fact that there may be something between Armaan and ridhima or even if there was, all be dammed! Maybe need to do something to get him back on track! 😆
The next time I am in the US, would love to catch up with the two of you, though my trips tend to be limited to either New York or Washington DC!

Awesome part Sam ....will comment in detail..

EDIT:
Rahul and Ridhima's convo too good.. Rahul saying u know its a sad day awwww and Ridhima knowing what he was talking abt being her best friend for ages awesome..and Rahul teasing her coffee ,tea or me haaa...Ridhima not wanting her to be Scarlett {have read the plot summary thats why it took me soo long :):):)}and Rahul taking Armaans side and his explanation why she is wrong ,too good...Rahul quiet impressed by Armaan heehehe who wouldn't...

Liked Rahuls straight forward answer abt muski awww he soo in love with her "She's like a beam of sunshine that breaks through all my defences, and, I'm hapless to prevent that." this is my fav line this shows how much he loves her .At Ridhimas suggestion lol ..lets see what happens...

Armaans inner voice also playing with him..love the way he justified himself..

The time spent by Armaan to Ridhimaa def brought them even closer..
Abt his regret not making her to sing awwww ...
"I tend to think I have a copyright on tormenting you?." how cute is that ..and he saying "I am destined to be at the receiving end for the rest of my life?." soo true haaaa

Again love the song and the lyrics awww just too good..

Ankit reading classics just because of a girl, haa and his "no entanglements" policy going up in smoke that i can see..but i soo fear him i know i shouldnt be but i do .....

Everybody are careful here not to take any hasty step to jeopardise their fndship ...cant wait to see how it goes from here....

very nice part Sam everytime i was like i love this part the most, u come up with another great part ...looking forward to ur next update..its been long time i said thank u for the pms ..thank u soo much...

****** reserved****
who said you are not good with words, girl? What alovely long comment! AM thrilled! As for Rahul and Ridhima, I guess thas what old freinds are like, no pretensions, no need to hide things, just open, honest conversations....
Yup Armaan and Ridhima are slowly headed towards teh collision that was always intended, its just how tehy would deal with it?
Oh I love the song as well..I think Louis Armstrong has a sexy voice! and I thought the lyrics were approprite for ANkit who is obviously feeling on top of the world.
My pleasure to send the PMs...once in awhile I get delayed, otherwise not an issue, any time! Shall update shortly...

Awww soo cute ,now i know where it came from...we all have these little childhood memories which we cherish for ever and feel animated like Ridzi when we tell these things to our frnds isnt it ?

lots of love
Sudha.

Yes, we do, don't we? A couple of my guy friends still tease me about how they were completely lost as to how to deal with a woman who did not want to play a woman! 😆 something, they accuse, I am still doing!

ahan!! gone with the wind indeed...!! another all time favourite of all those who love romantic classics..me included😊 i support ur opinion on ashley too.. too undecisive a man to be a brick during crisis..a weakling, as u call him..

loved the rahul-ridzie convo..buddies for life, rn't they?? m glad ridzie chose to reveal it all to him..as if she was given another option..lol..cud imagine her as a kid in her piggytaills n pyjamas..no wonder armaan found her cute n adorable..their late night coffee was pretty romantic, with her opening up to him this time..n him watching her intently by the moonlight all night..😳 was just wondering how cum anjali n rahul never came up in their talk significantly..as in how cud ridhima resist the urge of asking him about his equation with anjali..or maybe she found it a bit too weird to ask him sumthing so personal so early..must have been the same with armaan not asking her about rahul..awaiting the right moment, both of them??
ankit..aww..he's gonna get mighty upset soon i guess.. i hope, rather!!😆
luv,
anu.

***** reserved*********
Am glad you think so too..I have never found it in me to even remotely like Ashley, at best pity him.....
Yup, Ridhima and Rahul's conversation is close to my heart cos I can relate to it....
I guess they are both content to just get to know each other at this point in time and neither is keen to ask a question that is capable of destroying the bond that they are slowly but surely developing....in a sense their willing ness tos pend time together, "far from the madding crowd" 😆 is an indication of their subconscious admission of their attraction for each other...

I seem to be becoming lazier every day ?must be the climate, cool weather always make me want to curl up with a hot mug of cocoa, immerse myself in my fav books and let the world recede to a distant dream. Course, while a wonderful sensation it plays havoc with my ability to perform other tasks including replying to a certain ff writer 😉.

I'm sorry for the late reply but I just finished reading the update, I had sundry tasks including meeting my supervisor and then my friends invited me to an evening of Rajastani folk music and then went for a coffee and what with one thing and another only got back to the room now.

LOVED the update?the convo b/w rahul and ridz was too good and I loved the way ridz said she would rather wait for her Rhett than become a Scarlett to Armaan's Ashley 👏?totally agree with your analysis of his character btw, but somehow I could never liked Rhett either, a fact that have caused a lot of consternation among my friends when we had it for English in 9th standard. Maybe it's cause his character will always be coloured by Gable's portrayal for me despite the fact that I read the book first?too much machismo in my opinion 😒 and I was never a fan of the same. But yeah, I still love his line though 😉 I love Scarlett's "Tomorrow is another day" ⭐️ even better. Now there's a survivor, however immature she might be, you can't not admire the never-say-die attitude. Course Melanie was another strong character? as was Scarlett's mom (Elaine wasn't it?) in fact I admire most of the women, it's the men I have problems with.

Anyway coming back to the update, I loved how rahul at once catches the reference. We do that a lot in my house, I mean when my mom and I discuss books we end up talking about them like they're real ppl (and so they are...to us anyway) and it's so irritating when ppl go Huh? Or ask you who you're talking about *sigh* 😒.

What can I say about the scene between AR except that it's my heartfelt wish that I might find a Rudolf of my own whom I can spend just such an evening with 😍 (you have no idea how lucky you are with your Rhett Sam?especially since you managed to get hold of one with a baritone as well *damn* I'm turning a very interesting shade of green here? 😉 😆)

My net is acting up again 🤢 but as soon as it gets normal I'll try to listen to the Dean Martin songs you suggested as well as Ankit's song?I'm sure I'll like them as well.

Ah, you reminded me of my hostel and college days, sigh! 🤗 What would i not give for my cup of tea (coffee is not a preferred poison! well, unless its cold coffee loaded with zillions of calories! 😆) Evening with Rajasthani folk music sounds lovely...envy you all this..the closest I get to India is an Indian restaurant which I end up going to a t least once a week! Sounds like you're having fun! While I like Damascus as a city, 6 months (out of which 1 was laid up in bed) is more than enough!
I know one more person who would agree that she did not like Clark Gable! Vivian Leigh....She complained that she did not want him as Rhet Butler either because he had bad breath and a set of false teeth! 😆 I guess I am ok with him in the movie though I guess though I am not a great fan! Even though he was the orignal all male poster boy!
Scarlett's mom was Ellen, yup a very strong character that held the family together and i like Melanie too though I think she went too far in looking for goodness in every one...though I must admit I hold Mammy in dear affection! and how can I forget" After all, tomorrow is another day!" Didn't know till it was pointed out to me on thsi forum that there was a sequel called Scarlett written by someone else...very tempted to reda it but not sure whether it wil;l destroy the memory of GWTW that I have in my mind....
So you have inherited your love for reading from your mom...my parenst read a lot but they are more into Hindi literature though my dad reads a lot of other stuff...so he can recite the Madhushala etc...which to his chargin I have never picked up an interest for...he blames my convent education entirey for that! 😆
I shall not deny that I am incrediby lucky to have found my Rudolf...the man wooed me with great elan and perseverence, overcame every apprehension that I ever had and broke every single barrier that I had built and did that so romantically that I couldn't have asked for anything more...there was no way I would not have said yes! 😉
Do, do listen to the songs...I love Thats Amore and you would have probably heard Mambo Italiano cos there are other versions floating around.... and I absolutely love Louis Armstrong's voice...I think its very sexy....
Now I better get back to work before I give them a reason to boot me out!

hiya sam...back to comment to the reply to my comment...hahah its a viscious circle...did u ever read ogden nash that reminds me???everey single time i use the words 'pun' or 'viscious cycle' um reminded of his work...i think i knew the words for ethir meaning before i read his work, but i also have to say it was him who carved them into my vocab!!!

alright back to my reply to a reply to my reply!!!....nah i totally adore how rahul admitted it, i said i havent known too many of them souls....i never said none!!!...hahaha when ur an engineering major, somehow, if ur remotely abnormal, ur best buddies are alwaz the guys....um like the highest degree of abnormality iv encountered in life so far, my whole gang but 2 were guys, n the closest of buddies ahve been guys, i know just wat u mean....the talks sometimes when u think back have u in splits n u wonder how u had the gall, n then u wonder was that even a doubt!!!!

oki wat was amiss...i cant point too perfectly....i duno, like i said it wasnt lack of romance nah...i like the way ur fic is in that respect...how the claims are so subtle, i love that feel...i just thot...maybe it was something else i thot of....maybe if u put the scene right there, n not all of it as an after thought i wud be happier???,,,um kinda lost with my argument actually so cant say much....i wonder if u can make much of my vague ramblings????

ps: u coming to US...wherever u yar, york or the capital, we are just a flight away, it wud be a pleasure, one such impulsive decision it had been when nij n i met up like a couple of months ago, n i alwaz thot such impulses shud be given a shot!!!
