Finally back to comment. Just joined work last week and its been pretty hectic getting comfortable with what the profile demands! Just read your reply to my previous comment. Good to know that you look forward to my comments; I for one take the max time reading your updates :D
IIT Kharagpur campus was beautiful but so is the IIT Delhi one. Personally I love the whole way IIT's are built with loads of open space and greenery!
I know what you mean about engineering boys; eventually gender or profession, I feel has little role to play in becoming friends, but again that is once you see past their obvious interest in you as a girl :D
Anyways coming to the update; am I glad that I am commenting before the 8th!
The part was one of those extremely good ones; most of the things bang on, and I say most mainly because there were bits where I felt restless enough to skip and read further.
Armaan and Ridhima individually and together were amazing… just the way I'd thought their behaviour would be especially Ridhima. Loved the whole way she was trying to deny the inescapable :D Quite a humanly trait of intentionally denying oneself the admittance of truth! The kid in the mall; knew it was another Armaan in the making! :)
As trivial as it may be I like the way you take care of the nitty – gritties. I found the 'kohla-puri' bit quite DU like.
One bit I am not sure about is Ridhima recalling Armaan's face just before reaching IIT. I mean nothing wrong with it per se but just generally felt it was too early or shall I say intense a reaction for someone slightly more than an acquaintance. I am sure you have your reasons for it coming up but as dumb as I can get I'd still like if you could clarify the situation in my mind. I know this comes as a contradiction to my earlier statement of finding her behaviour apt but well most of it was :)
Armaan I wouldn't go much into details about; right on!
AR at their best with the ease and the something amiss as Ridhima interpreted. Really the bug part was the icing on the cake. It was hilarious! :D
AA meeting; finally! I was really looking forward to it especially coz I feel their track was pathetically handled in the show. Their conversation in a league very different from that of AR and AN; yet just apt for the way you have made us envision their characters.
AN; nothing much to say except they were just rightly themselves! :D
I see Sumit has an interest in Ridz; don't like him already! I know its stupid and quite contrary to my nature in general of not liking someone without a reason but well that's it for him. I don't like him for being the third angle! Definitely churlish on my part but ah… so be it! :D
As for Armaan's reaction in the end… Yay! She had come for the game! Winks
I see you plan to post the next in a day or two. looking forward to it immensely. Shaping up quite nicely, this one is!
Love
Smriti
