Sammm!! I am so sorry fot not having commented on the last part...i dunno why, i just lost track of time and i have been so sleep deprived in the past few days, i couldnt think straight...Anyways, i opened the link even before you had updated the title or sent out the pms so technically, this time i am the first reader hehe...

This part was, by far, my favorite in the whole story. I dunno why, i could SO relate to this part. The whole conversation was so real and authetic, and the way u portrayed everyone's POVs differently was awesome....i liked Armaan's outlook to it....and well, as u know, in the matter of love, i go the Ankit way but its not that i dont believe in it....i do, its totally the utmost desire of every human to be loved....but i am just letting time take the toll on me hehe....

Anjali's outburst...hmmm!! well, that was unexpected...one time shes so sweet to Riddhima and the second she just bursts out on her....guess the closeness b/w AR is really getting on to her...but one thing that i dun understand...Anjali is such a clear-headed strong minded girl, why not go and confess to Armaan? But then again, i guess u answered this question in the part itself....

Hmmm, so teh next part is what i am looking forward to now...it better be a long AR part...and yes, the three muskeeters, though not an absolute fav with me, was a good read...

Fav character in this part: this is difficult...it varies between Atul and Riddhima...for once, we saw the softer side of Riddhima where she's reduced to tears if someone ridicules her opinions and emotions...i loved that!! Atul, loved his support for AR, its like he is the only one sensing whats going on...hehe...

Fav scene: Armaan disentangling himsefl from Anjie and telling her to go ahead. That part truly showed how he cares for Riddhima, and how he doesnt want to expose his anger onto Anjie...and Rahul dragging Muskaan away...was awesome too...hilarious, the way Muskaan went like 'bitchy bitch' hahaha...Armaan's 'dear Rahul' made me grin like an idiot..hahaha...

Fav dialouge: an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired!!....this line totally made me smile...it was extremely well put, even if its a quote, its how u incorporated it into the dialouge...

Okkayyy...so now that my analysis is over....hope to see u updating soon...loads of love..

u updatedddd !!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
YaY--

**edited
heyy-- sorry for the late reply-- i like to be totally relaxed wen i read FFs esp this one coz i enjoy it so much and if i'm in a rush then i tend to skim thru it and dont enjoy it as much as i wd have otherwise --

gr8 part-- yea it wasnt exactly the nice romantic part i wd hav liked bt it kinda set the stage for wat i predict will be a LOTT of fireworks in the near future, be it from anjali or even atul-- i just hope AR can overcome them-- which i'm sure they will be able to do--

anyway, cant wait to read the nxt part-- take care and update soon
oh and i was wondering-- can u recommend any FFs that ur readin or have already read (preferably with links)-- i'd really appreaciate it :D

OMG sam that was awesome !!!!!!! u know the bestpart of ur fic is that i cant decide what i liked the best for that matter which part i liked the best with every update of urs my fav bit keeps changing well u noe due to xamz n all i cant catch up with my gang gosh n ur references to group convos soo makes me pins 4 our get-togethers i tell you srsly it's so much fun and well we actually faced an almost similar situation recently still cuming back i have noo words to explain well angie n ankit are a little messed up but then AR are no less in that department but i sooo adore atul i guess i missed his take on love but the other's esp armaan's :

I believe it's foolhardy to not express what you feel for someone. We all want to fall in love. Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified; our everyday reality is forgotten.....It may only last a moment, an hour, and an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.....so why would you not want to grab that chance at happiness?

aww now that's quite a wonderful thot sam kudos you put it all very well but the best were riddhima's thot so true and heart touching every word has d depth to it i actually read it over thrice in a row hehe

"I can't imagine not taking a chance at love........to me love is an all consuming emotion which is tempestuous in its passion and gentle in its caring.........it preserves and protects, it teases and excites, it is ecstasy and it is torment, it's friendship set on fire, a web of involuntary responses, and as someone once said, an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired!!!!

so damn true if one actually gets thinking !!!! then armaan is so adorable he cudnt digest the fact that riddhima shared their moment wid her dear rahul while he cud easily wit atul n i luv it wen he refers to riddhima as "his sea urchin" he's really one of his kind n yet like u can so relate to him GOSH talk of weaving magic with words sam u r brilliant !!!!!!!! then angie's heated response aww riddhima on the verge of tears god wat a finish to such an intense talk but i love muski i tell ya n the proctective loyal attitude of hers i can so relate to her on that level i myself am that possessive about my frndsbut this convo actually got RM back on the track or it's just that i feel so?????? i am sooo looking forward to AR convo here ans sam did i see u updating soon like almost yesterday am alredayyy sooo excited!!!!

love ya

p.s - the three musketeers aahhaa i read that one the third one is Aramis of all three he is the most flippant if i remember correctly the book's totally worth a read which character u liked the best???????

hiya sam...just read the part....not coz i got up early, but coz i was up all night, unfortunately for no fun reason...but oh well...the tales can wait....

the part for now....aawww ur frends got together for good n have a wonderful family now, thats a brilliant thing to hear....i can not possibly agree anymore abt those discussions at the most random points of insti in days which are gone....too bad they're gone...n id love to sit on the steps heer in michigan n do the same but we have to resort to indoor cafe's ....the snow all around doesnt make things easier outside lolzzz...the point is discussions remain...n somehow...the very essential of emtions or debates...alwaz pass us by without a rigid conclusion, coz somewhere in the process of it soemone gets carried away....anjali ddi here...n um not surprised at all...it was abt time for her outbreak to come....ankit....gosh...his char as alwaz eludes the best of my sensibilities...he, like atul thot, is incorrible....shake the guy n wake him to a life, which is human!....

armaan ridhima, rahul muskaan...yeh....all of them fitting the bill as one would think. I was exceptionally delighted rahul's take on teasing Armidz abt the night out for coffee....thats the best n worst thing abt buddies as close....they are truly....the highest in the list of necessary evils 😆 u cant possibly live without telling them...n they cant possibly let u off at just that....if they let u off it wud also spell trouble....they cudnt do it right!!!somewhere i wonder sincerely....how much of the irritation is actually at being teased....arent there, in complete honesty, tons of momenst for a couple in love to actually hope something of the jests will be shot tehri way...i think its wanted, if not alwaz...at least not never!....

n the remaining of all things,....my star....sam...i ahve to say i was disappointed with his response...soemwhere in that reply he made me doubt, if he was actually as candid to his ownself...um not suggesting herein anythibng like u to have introduced the expected atul-anji track...no none of those insinuations at all...its just in general.....i can;t find myself believing for a char protrayed like atul's to ahve no better take on love itself....yes his interest n all may not have been showed, perhaps u may not have plans to go there at all...but cud he not have a real take on love at all? some how, for the amt of undersatnding of those issues he posseses n in lieu of all his wisdom, i see that hard to believe....i wud have loved to hear ,.,,.wat he would have said abt love....maybe some other time...😉

but thats the only irk, n that i guess arising from my bias for the guy!!!...

u portray the conversations extremely well sam...loved reading this one...the three musketeers n ur competence to have won the cash....my thits ditto for every one fo the 3 times i saw the movie!!!!it was a wonderful work by dumas...n i read it sooooo long ago...perhaps i will revisit it sometime soon!

LIKE A MILLION GAZILLION TIMES.....its my fav part uptil now....riddhimaz description about love...was sooooooo beautiful...it was almost as if it was coming out of a poets mouth...absolutely philosophically written...i am just loving this ff with every comin part...armaanz such a sweetheart to have controlled his anger and staying back with riddhima...and kiranz soo right about atul..i think he should knock some sense into everyone especially ankit...GOD...hahahhaha i dont know i just get irritated by him..lol...n anjaliz outburst was needed at this point of the story...although i hated her for being so insolent to riddhima and comparing her emotions to something out of a millsn boons story which is sooooo soooooo sooo wrong and NOT what she had said...it was like the best way a feeling like love could be described....absolutely fantabulous sam...im really really really looking forward to the next part...i can totally see where u are coming from...when u write about bschool life u must be relating to those two friends of yours...the endless...fun discussions ...chai sipping...its sooo much fun to be pennin down stuff thats sooo close to really cherised memories....srsly an awesomely amazing read sam....loved loved loved everything about it....from the minute meticulous details to the humungous outburst from anjali...uuuu surely put ur heart in every part which is seldom shown by many other fic writers....

Ooh I smell something burning…looks like Mr. "she's just a dear friend" Armaan might have to have to do a bit of soul-searching. I really felt horrible for Angie though, there's nothing as horrible as unrequited love…especially when you know in a secret corner of your heart (as I suspect she does) that the one you love can never be yours. In fact the over-riding emotion on reading the part for me was pity rather than anger or irritation…ridz has armaan, rahul, muskaan to comfort her but what of angie and having to cope with the agony of seeing the one you love slowly move away from you into someone else's arms? Ankit's comment about misdirected explosions however tactless was nevertheless true. Hope Atul can help sooth her a little. But I fear he's right…this is just the beginning…

I'm so sorry for not replying to the last part but sometimes I just can't ignore the fact that I'm meant (meant being the operative word here) to be a research scholar despite putting all my efforts into the age-old student tradition of slacking off (and believe me when I say age old…there's a letter dating back to the 14^th or 15^th century at one of the old European universities lamenting the laziness of the writer's current crop of students 😆)…anyway getting back to my explanation, I was finalising my thesis chapterization, (course there's still some fine tuning but overall it's almost finished taking shape ) and hence didn't even have a minute's free time to spare. Btw, I've been reading some of the comments and have to say I personally loved Armaan's recollection of the evening. The third person narrative in no way took away any of its charm…and as for the Convenient Marriage, I have to confess I myself forgot all about it what with the recent workload…

I loved your analysis of romance through the ages…too true, in fact the whole idea of chivalry was built around the concept of Courtly Love where the parfait knight or the preux chevalier would perform feats of chivalry for the glory of his love…always a noble born woman either married or betrothed to another. The Le Roman de la Rose was considered the ideal…the template so to speak. Eleanor of Aquitaine (she who offered her rival poison, a fascinating story…but I'm sure you know about it…) was the one who popularised it in the English Court. What is so fascinating to be is that the rather than a triumphant love it is unattainability and what we in India call viraha that is the core of this ideal.

Ah Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan..."One for all, and all for One", god I loved those four and of course The Man in the Iron Mask. I loved the whole premise that the Roi Soleil might have been Loius XIV's twin brother and d'Artagnan's son…too good. Course I always loved a good conspiracy which is why I loved The Da Vinci Code though I couldn't stand the movie. And such a horrendous bit of miscasting; when Robert was specifically described by Brown himself as "a Harrison Ford in Tweeds".

p.s. the "language Timothy" reference is giving me a hell of an itch…I HATE it when I can't immediately recognize the source of a particular ref.
