Hey Sam!

Congrats on the second thread. I've been following your FF all along. Pardon me for being a silent reader :). I can't write long comments. I get lazy. But I really enjoy reading your story.

Keep rocking!

Hi Zuzu! Thanks so much for the congratulations and for making an appearance, lol! Not to worry, am glad to know that you are around and are still following the ff!

Sam u done justice with this part.Atul is a nice friend.
I think he was talking about himself & given her a bird's

Rahul decipher his feeling and wanna talk about this to
Ridz. Their friendship bond is a good.Muskaan dialogues
alwaz helpfull to bring smile.Armman is witty enough to
clear all doubts after listening one word"someone hurt"
I wish Ridz get his point soon and come out just as his
'Sea urchin'
"I want be the wind that fills your sail
Be the hand that lifts your veil
Be the moon that moves your tides
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more ... so much more
I want be your everything!"
thanx 4r pm
love
ritu


Ritu, I am glad that you liked the part! Armaan though not sure of his own feelings completely, is telling her as much as he can about the fact that no one else has any claims on him….its for her to read in between the lines! Atul remains a sweetheart, and Muskaan I agree is a scream even though a little confused!

Rahul is a sweetheart for blurting that out, maybe some sense would get knocked into Muskaan's head now!

Hi Sam,

Ok, I am back with my comments missed out 3 of your parts (22/23/24), so you can imagine, I have loads to write, prepare yourself to be bored, cos I don't have your flare of writing, before I start on the parts, I have to admit one thing, your FF, is like my dosage of English, I savour your parts completely, I read all the 3 parts twice, its like I am trying to read between them, I thought I knew English, but you have showed me new dimensions of this language...thanks...

Next, I wanted to say was I enjoy reading your explanations at the end of each part, it reminds me of my English text book, which had a little star against tough words & these were explained later in the end. These explanations are really valuable, cos they give a more clear pic, of what you were trying to convey. The best so far, I think, is the word Consummate, when I read it, in the part, I was totally taken aback, not cos I thought that Ridimma's intentions were not good, but for the fact, that I haven't read this usage (shows my poor reading habits) before, I felt it was the most beautiful usage, when I read I understood the meaning, but when I read your explanation, it kind of completed my understanding.

I will come back on the parts very soon....promise....

loved this prt as usual...atul effort of knocking some sense to anjali was worth reading an armaans riddhimas conversation though short was helping to move their story ahead bt the best part of this post was rahul n muski phone coversation n the cindrella talks which they did it ..........bt muskaan didnt turn up the nxt morning n i guess armaan ridz were going to be dam embarrased after rahuls coomment on them being together.plz update this a bit sooner ..will look forward to read motre by tcc


Hi! You are welcome for the PM! AM glad you liked the part! Rahul can be quite stubborn as Muskaan is about to discover, if she hoped that disconnecting would end the drift of the conversation, she's got another think coming! Atul is being a good friend!

I wish I could have updated earlier but this weekend there was no way I could have spent time at the comp! I get to see my Armaan one weekend a month, and, I must admit, in all honesty, that the comp is the last thing on my mind! Lol! But shall try and update tonight! Thanks so much for waiting for Maslow updates! You guys make it worthwhile to write the fic!

hey sam,

first of all, wow!! i just loved it. Riddhima and armaan are sweet as ever but i really liked atul and anjali's conversation. atul is a wonderful wonderful friend! Riddhima's dad is okay, but i was kind of expecting him not be all that great(healthwise)! Armaan then could have played the 'knight in shinning armour' longer. i guess too much of hindi serials clouding my judgement!😛 i hope rahul's outburst doesn't affect armaan or riddhima negatively. continue soon and thanx for the pm!
love,
mia

Hi Mia! Am so glad that you enjoyed the part so much! I guess Armaan did enough in one night to make a positive impression! I am sure he will have other opportunities as well! Lol! AM glad you enjoyed Atul and Anji's conversation – it was need cos Atul feels bound to try and explain things to Anjali. Rahul's outburst is so normal for irritation with someone who comes in between you and your friend!

You are welcome for the PM and shall update soon!

Hi Sam,

Thx for PM. Nice part. Loved the way Atul talked to Anjali and was being such a true friend. Liked the way Ridhhima acknowledged the fact that she liked Armaan taking charge and being there in the time of need. I think they will be great friends....I know there is a underlying romance situation here, but friendship is what keeps it going for the years to come. I like the way both just have to be so honest to each other.
Waiting for next...

Hi there! You are welcome for the PM and am glad that you liked the part! Atul is a good guy; he is trying his best to ensure that no one gets hurt though he himself has no stake in any of this. I agree with you completely, a great friendship is a great base to a love relationship cos long after the passion is spent, the friendship remains! The fact that they care immensely for each other is evident in the fact that they are so completely honest with each other! Shall update soon!

Okie here it goes..

I happened to come across the update much b4 I received the pm n I had ths feeling tht yet agn u forgot to pm me..so obviously I was lil upset(very teeny weeny bit I swear) abt tht but blv me evn tht small amount of ill feeling disappeared the moment I read the first few lines of ur update..n was replaced by a sudden urge to hug u!the way atul explns anjie abt armaan not being abl to giv time to her actually touched my heart..u wudnt knoe but I was undergoin a similar phase..my closest friend in clg had been behaving the same way as armaan..like earlier we used to hang out such a lot but these days her priorities hv kind of changed..i was upset abt ths since a long time but whn I read ur update it was as if it was u explaining the whole thing to me..i sound a lil melodramatic,I knoe but blv me sam..i was so happy reading tht..now atlst I ll b abl to behv in a civil manner towards my friend rather thn acting all pissed..the way u have portrayed atul's thots into his advice actually shows how mature ur thots r..i really loved the part n maslow coming here agn..i bet none of them cud relate his theories to such an extent in our daily life as much as u hv done.it was amazing.though I wish anjie had been sharp enuf to notice who atul had actually loved..i kind of hv a feeling it's the person he's talking to!...next is AR,u knoe the part tht I liked abt them is the level of comfort the two r sharing..its evident they r meant to b together..armaan acts so dignified..it makes his character more admirable.n riddhima,I jus love her sense of wit..she can make anyone impressed with her ways....rahul n muskaan..wht shd I say?i hv no idea y muskaan is avoiding the situation..they bth have feelings for each other..yet unsure..hope they sort it out soon..n now for the last part..u wudnt blv but I loved rahil's reaction on seeing AR together..i have always loved the rahul riddhima friendship n his reaction shows tht he is still involved in his friend's life..he had been pretty dormant abt her for quite some parts..seeing rahul riddhima together is as gud for me as seeing AR together..i love the friendship thing u put into their parts..its one of the main reasons I love harry potter books..bcz of the trio's friendship..i guess I have made ths longer thn I intended to but wud jus like to add one last thing..everything abt the part was gud including ur note at the end..ur other half coming to surprise u! tht was jus so sweet!it kind of added to the charm to the update..it wud b evn better if u told us his name..then we all cud address him by his name..thats it sam..i jus hope u have the patience to go through ths entirely..if u cn put such a lot of effort in writing a part then I think evn I cud put in some to appreciate it!

Loads of love,

Shriya..

Shriya, hugs! How can I forget to PM you? I should have mentioned in the note at the end of the part that I would send out the PMs later…I sent them when I got time in between spending time with my Armaan...it was a lovely surprise, him landing up completely unexpected…we had a conversation a couple of days before that when I had told him that I planned to spend the weekend on my own, not doing my usual mad haring around town, so he decided to come and surprise me! It was great fun!

And I love the long comment! It is comments like this that make writing the fic worthwhile! I enjoy reading them far more than I do writing the fic!

And no you did not sound melodramatic…we all go through phases when something in life bother us and then something really innocuous clears the mist for us….I am so glad that Maslow could do that for you! And can I give you a piece of unsolicited advice, being presumptuous given my age advantage over you, don't let something fester with a friend….once you are both feeling a little better, have a talk with him / her..there is nothing like lack of communication to screw up a good relationship/friendship! Most marriages / relationships break down cos people don't communicate and that holds true for friendships as well!

Yup, Rahul is the only one who as decided to do something drastic to knock some sense in his lady love's head, hopefully he'll succeed! As for Ridhima, I guess he has been preoccupied himself and as a good friend should, allowing her space with Armaan!

Sam,

"Wahi hoga jo manjure khuda hoga" hmm?I think it's either Mughal-e-azam or Taj Mahal but I'm more inclined to think it's the former or am I completely off the mark? Damn! I think I better go and watch it again. Curse you Sam! You made me waste four hours 😡 😆, ah well at least I'll get to see that famous candlelight scene again.
As for the previous part, I loved the description of Riddhima looking at him, hopefully describing the glories of Basillico before settling for polishing off those two packets of chips. Then of course there was that paani puri scene which was equally adorable. In fact, there were a lot of wonderful scenes?Riddhima going to gr8 pains to explain why exactly she called it a "date", Armaan being so supportive at the hospital, especially the understanding "aggressive male" comment (I loved him at that moment! Well I would have if I wasn't already in love with him). Poor Atul, the only guy who has no personal stake in this love-rectangle and sometimes I feel he's the one who sweats the most about it. But I love his sensitivity; guess all those years being "on the outside looking it" has its own rewards even though it must have been horribly lonely not to mention painful. But this update was highly rewarding for me as well cause I got acquainted with King Tantalus (can't wait to try it on someone else btw). Again the reason for Armaan's name was truly unique and again loved finding out about the "French connection". Knew that Richelieu's first name was Armand of course but never knew about the family Armaan. And the way you linked the French to the Persian was really interesting. A part that really stood out for me was the following:
"Hmmm?.Arzoo and Armaan?.two sides of the same coin?desire and aspiration?what a wonderful combination?your parents must have really wanted the two of you?.the names are a wonderful embodiment of the dreams of two people in love?." Ridhima wondered aloud.
Plot-wise it might not be that important but I loved the thought and indeed I agree with Riddhima, a truly wonderful combination. Course, how can I forget the way they flirted with each other over dinner?
I know it's wicked of me but I thoroughly enjoyed both our heros falling from their lofty perches?first Armaan and his flustered, stammered excuse and then Rahul's tensed out state. The scenes b/w Atul and Anjali were really poignant. But what I zoned into was the following:
"The first?" Atul laughed a little sardonically, "well, the first was really a figment of my imagination, actually more like my aspiration?she came from a very different crowd?in fact much more like Ankit, Armaan and you?and completely unlike me she was unattainable, from a different world, yet we were friends?such good friends that when time came, she chose to confide in me about the man she was in love with?.it broke my heart?but it also made me realise that I much rather have her as a friend than loose her altogether?it was a tough lesson to learn?and painful but then I thought this too will pass and it did?and now when I look back, I am just grateful that she and I are still friends"
Perhaps I'm letting my experience with the actually DMG colour my perspective but the first thing that rushed to my mind was Atul and Angie? Could it be? Anyway it was just a thought, no need to let out any spoilers. Speaking of the serial, WHAT on earth do the creatives think they're doing? Have they even heard of a thing called Character-sketches? These guys feel less like characters and more like cardboard cut-outs and their thought-processes not to mention frequent about-faces are totally beyond me.
Sorry sam,I meant to send you this comment immediately on reading the latest update, I honestly did. But then I checked my mail and found that I had a long and might I add wonderful letter from my Galahad (and thanks for the help in sorting out my feelings, I'm not sure, but I think I might have indeed finally found my personal knight, and boy was it unexpected and bewildering and frightening?it still is the last two. I never thought?anyway!) But the past few weeks have been an emotional roller-coaster, so much so that I found myself empathising with your characters much more than usual especially Muskaan. In fact, in this last update I felt as though she was echoing my own tumultuous thoughts in that scene after the RM phone call.

Hugs! Hmmm…had been planning on Pming you after reading and responding to a particular section in your comment but my Galahad interwened! Had a wonderful weekend! Now back to reality with a hard thud! Ouch! But romantic interludes are a must, I can tell you from experience, lol! A letter in your mail, "You've got mail!" 🤗 It can be frighteninga nd unsettling! Contrary to what everyone beelives, its not that easy to say yes when its a long commtment that youa re talking about and also I think its alot easier when youa re in schoola nd the gets progressively more difficult! I guess experience and brains come in teh way!😆😆😆 Will PM you rather than a public lecture. 😉

DOnt talk about DMG caharacters! Theya re all crap! I am amazed why Armaan chooses to remain frieds with them and someone tell the creative sthat their characterisations are god awful! Evrytime the man is in trouble they dessert him like the proverbbial sinking ship! And even Ridhiam - I can undersand completely her inability to say anything or fighta gaiant her father openly....but to not defend Armaan when the other are taking off on him, is sacrilige! AT least Nikki is being a good friend, defending him when he nees a friend! When they say love is blind, they are really right, dunno what Armaan sees in her! er...excus ethe outburst but maybe the weekend may have something to do with my stupid irritation with a spineless heroine! Its easy to run away in the middle of the nigh, but girl get aback bone and stand up for your guy!
Atula nd Anji? Dunno! 😉😆
I am glad you enjoyed the date and the romantic undertone sto their conversation....even teh fact taht Armaan wants his mom to meet the only woman to whom he is happy to loose is a significant thing which Ridhima should have picked up!
I am glad you liked the use of the Tantalus reference! Try it on your Galahad and lets see how it works! 😉😆
