I'm a really nice person, when you actually want to believe it - lady A!

And so, even before I'd begun to read the part - just when I saw the title reading updated, even without visiting the PM box, at this early, early rare morning hour that i chose to wake up today, I went in my head oh this time I'll read and comment right here, right now!

so much for your ps hence *sticks out tongue*

You are a nice(really!😛) nice person NJ, (there you go, I've said it loud and clear).. 😆

Because, I was as surprised as you must have been seeing the quick update with your quick response, impressive indeed. *approves*

I never carry a pepper spray - but it gave me something of an Isha-ish feeling about it, and that brought with it the possible ray of Rohan-around-the-corner hope - that, coupled with the oh-so-awesome NY Times job title - you totally won me over ☺️☺️☺️ I obviously feel so full of myself atm, what with those two revelations, plus doodling the dude (and the dude being Armaan) its like i could jump right out of the current track of my real life, into this fictional one and get used to living it in style for a while 😆

You know I did think about that, and right away my mind went back to AoL and the whole hand sanitizer episode and so for some reason, probably because I wasn't as comvinced myself, I found myself asking would she? But then I was like, what the heck, you are supposed to (and I wouldn't dare otherwise fearful of a retribution of sorts form the kind soul😛) be doodling the dude and I figured this episode makes it clear where the balance of power lies in this friendship…(there there…aren't I nice too??😃...did you say something😆)

Now that you mentioned, it does have an Isha-ish feel to it, yep…and Rohan-around-the-corner?? Why do I get a feeling you have been thinking about or wait…planning to..to do you-know-what…

I knew you would approve of your title in this fic…so get used to it. Heck, I've even got the NJ visualised in my head😆…actually you presence in the fic has helped resolve a big dilemma I was having about an upcomming part that I have been meaningt/wanting to write a certain way…and now I can see a way in which that may work out..so yea, there is more, stay tuned ;)

but that's not about the part - so enough of me for this!

Significant bits of this part had me so caught up between being suspended in awe of just the right words and an enigma attached to the mysterious movement in the plot - I had to keep going back and forth and re-reading to get both aspects right! If I've said this before, I have meant it as many times- you have a way with words - and this part has to be one notch higher on your usual (personally, i think you can credit some of it to your prompt updating speed, and yeh, part to my entry 😆)

I hate to admit this, but I agree with you on both counts there. Your presence has definitely given the fic a happier feel to it than it would have had at this point in the story…I really enjoyed writing this part, which has happened after a long time here, you know what I'm talking about…right? And Thank you for all that you've said up there, kind of motivates me to start writing the next part soon. I'm in a very very happy place right now …😃😃

while i shall say nothing about my speculations of where i think AR are going from here - i'm kinda convinced certain Atul Anj are closing in to some formal matrimonial announcement with the world - parents in on it now, happy or not (shanks needs to get a life, grow up, and let his kids be now, really!)

I couldn't agree with you more, Shanks needs to get a life, grow up and let his kids be…absolutely! It was never really Atul that he had problems with so it was bound to be easier to resolve, something that I tend to skip…how he reacts to AR is a different matter all-together…


Meanwhile, here's to my absolutely favorite snippets:

who brings a back-pack to a dinner (did someone leak my secret to you??? ishhhh!😆)

I cannot name my source :D nah...but haven't we all done that at some point of time?😆

who is that guy starring at us contemptuously ..." , "the bane of my existence..." , "my boss" - objectively looking at this statement - i found it so hilariously and unfortunately true about like, i dunno, 90% of the world ?!!! 😆 I didn't really intend it that way but it makes absolute sense.

If something has to go wrong, it will and it did ... Sensing that he had over-stepped the line between chance and intrusion ... Damn, he cussed as he walked away; he hated all this family drama but there was a nagging feeling at the back of his mind that he had already stepped across that threshold. ... sleep had provided her with the luxury that she had sought through other ineffective means .... [ i just really enjoyed your choice of expression in describing the consequential and innocuous things pertaining to this update - like really ] …learnt from last time eh!? 😆..Dude you are so getting all the hugs🤗 this time around, you got the list spot on.. a few that I had given some thought to...It's hard to choose from those but the ones you've mentioned ..all of them, I like this selection a lot :D

slightly drunk, half dazed after a sudden encounter with a good friend, and exhilarated at the prospect of actually sorting out things with Riddhima - esp the last bit here, was this tremendous deja vu feeling, like i'd seen the scene somewhere... a guy defeated and morose from moments ago, exhilarated at the prospect of sorting out? ... it feels so like i've totally been a witness! must have too, engineering spares u no such opportunity! It's interesting to read how someone else interprets the same line and yet it makes perfect sense…I understand what you are saying.. more often than what we write is influenced by what we have seen or experienced ourselves…

"this break thing isn't working out at all...Goodnight Love", he whispered, and then walked away a little more content and lot happier. ... it sure ends the part on a more optimistic note, eventhough things may not turn out the way A or R thinks (but then things rarely turn out the way we think they will)

aww, i have this happy feeling with the kind of place you chose to stop - a happy feeling despite all the lost frenzy of a reader in being stuck into a mystery which is like a 1000 prick needles on all ends! no, seriously, everything out here in the story atm is like part known, and mostly unknown... and the teasers help only the anxiety! so pull up your socks, keep up this pace, and be updating soooon!

Actually, I wanted to write more, was really trying to churn out a 6000+ word part this time but try as I might, I couldn't get beyond this point …just seemed like the perfect end to a mixed day…

ps: you can say it out loud already - i'm so awfully nice, already here et al.. 😆

cheers,
nj 😳

Thanks NJ, loved reading your response as always.
