Don't mind my wannabe gangsta-ness. I blame it on my bro coming home today and us listening to MJ, Pitbull and Sean Kingston all evening. 🤪 LOL! I totally understand....my bro has the same effect on me...
Ok so when I told you I read ch. 8, turns out I mistook ch. 7 for ch. 8. . Don't ask, my brain's a giant ball of mess right now. I just hope my comments will do justice to your writing. 😳 Here's to trying: Your comments are ALWAYS awesome!
So this is mostly for ch. 8 since I just read it. Overall, awesome read once again. My favourite part has to be Deepali lightening the mood and their group discussion. Deepali's adorable. Arranged marriage, I LOVE this topic. :D Mann this class sounds so fun! I wanna take it now. But as if, I live in such a white washed town that a desi-type class toh kya desi log hi mushkil se dikhte hain. And bollywood toh pooch hi matt. I'll tell my friends that last night I saw a bollywood movie and they'll be like, "OOOOO have you seen slumdog millionaire?" Kya karoon main in logon ka. *shakes head* Lol really? That's so funny...Actually I completely made up the class...I'm not sure if something like it really exists. But UC Berkeley (my undergrad) did have a lot of random interesting classes...that's what inspired me...
Annyyyyways, so ya kahan thi main...o ya love the arranged marriage topic. I totally agree with Neelam :D See my funda is that I don't trust myself at all to find me a good boy at all since I trust everyone blindly. And besides how would you know if this is the perfect guy for you? How the heck would you ever know that for sure you know? And I don't know why but I have more faith in arranged marriages for some reason. Maybe because in India esp. in our parent's generation most of the marriages were arranged and I've noticed a much less divorce rate with arranged marriages than love ones. Although that's obv. not always the case. And plus parents look at soo many other factors that we would never even dream of considering. For me it would just be all about the guy, if he's a chunga munda, I'm game. But parents look at family background, other relationships, etc. etc. which actually matters alot I think. In the long run anyways. Of course parents can also be wrong, but I think it's just the faith I have in arranged marriages and my trust in my parents that makes me ok with them. Even if I find the guy myself, I'd want my parents to be absolutely in love with that guy before I'd commit. I'd have to agree with you...I'm not sure if I trust my judgment completely...my parents would look for qualities that would matter in the long run...
O jeez....sorry about my arranged marriage rant there...gosh I can go on and on about this topic but I won't bore ya anymore. Back to your story. Ok I seriously hate it when guys are like "O you're a girl, you can't walk home alone" I mean I get that they're concerned or whatever but I hate that there's this fear for girls to walk alone at night. I mean why girls? Just cuz there's more stats supporting girls getting raped blah blah? It's just so unfair for girls to feel unsafe at night. *ahem*...sorry ending my rant there. But in your story toh the guys were being nice, plus this city is a really crazy one with dogs and stalkers and all so it's all good. But yaar...the statistics don't lie. Girls are more likely to be in danger...and it's not just about them being girls. It's about travelling in a group at night because there's always safety in numbers.
Plus I LOVEDD the moment after the walk you gave us! It was super sweet. :D So in terms of your story I loved that they all walked together. And you know how I've not liked Zaid and Hina much in the past. I TAKE IT BACK! :D This moment was really cute. Esp. Zaid blushing and caught in the moment by Adi and Samira. The two teasing him was adorable. It made me smile. =) Yay...so now you like all the couples right? That was always my hope...that people would have favorites but still like them all...Zaid and Hina's story had a kinda cliche bollywood movie start (since he basically loved her at first sight), but trust me...there's more to them...
Lovely update Rabia, esp. the end scene. Sorry for my befazool ke rants in between...I always ruin your update comments by those don't I? 😳 Apun sorry bolta hai. Arre yaar...kaisi baatein karti ho? I love your rants...
Can't wait to read part 9...will be back with my lambi bakwas after. Thanks for catching up with all of them so quickly...
OOO YAA questions! I basically answered your first and third one so will answer numero do. My fav couple is Karan and Deepali...surprise surprise. I just love their characters too much. But I love Samira and Reehan too. I love their understanding with each other. And Neelam-Aditya are too sweet. Zaid and Hina are ehhhh but they're kinda growin' on me after today's update. Ok did you say we had to pick one? :P Haha! It's okay...there's nothing wrong with liking them all...
Love,Pallavi Thanks so much!!!
