Hey Sam, Sorry for the delay... But well, its kinda you, so I guess you won't mind... With all the work load and all, am sure you must be as busy, perhaps more so, than I find myself in with these damned exams of one whole month!!... Hope you are dong fine btw buddy, miss seeing you quite so very often round here, and look who's talking!! Lol...
I kinda loved the Armaan-Anjali convo, although I found some bits of it a bit overdone from Anjie to tell you the truth, but then, am guessing that's just human nature very so often, the things that get to you and hurt you deep down there do tend to get you hyper, and in the wrong way... I won't say Anji is wrong, she's one character that has never been wrong in her thoughts,only perhaps in some of her acts, though that too is debatable... After all, who decides what's right and what's not? Especially in relationships, something that cannot be explained like laws of physics or economics can,to an extent at least...
The "try me" from Armaan was classical, the most apt "humourly" bit that lead to a subtle end to the convo, how I wish he tried to understand her a bit more though... Because it is strange that he never had to go through it all, after all, he got his love very nearly at the first attempt to it! Understanding Anji would be a hard task, being there for her then on would be an interesting plot I would look forward to in the story as well... Rid and Anj are both confident girls, but both somehow sway very so often between conflicting emotions... When a guy's got not one, but two to handle... God save him!! ;)
I don't like the way Rid behaves, so typical of an over-possesive, and over-protective girlfriend, especially with a guy the personality of Armaan... I would perhaps act on the same lines too, perhaps, only if so, the guy hadn't promised me uncountable times that he loved me, and solely me... Armaan is Anji's great friend, but I don't get the heck of why she can't understand, and accept fully that he loves her and only her... No doubt he was hurt, he had all the rights to be!... Moreover what happened in the last bit, ok fine about the initial reaction of seeing them together, but why panic and get all sorts of thoughts in that complicated mind of hers... I mean, calm down, talk to ur bf about it, let him know you saw him, give him time to explain... Then if you find something fishy, get those nasty thoughts... Why before? Why even think wrongly of him before that? He loves you, doesn't that eternity ring prove it enough?? He chose you girl... Waiting for the day Armaan can get THAT in her head... Pheewww....
Atul-Ankit... I love the fact that you get so much of life itself in those one-to-one convos of yours between the characters... I've always ever believed that the best conversation, especially if it's on life itself, is one where there are only 2 participants... Three makes a crowd certainly holds for me in those circumstances... Because while listening and talking to one person solely, a lot of things are said, more perhaps by the unsaid... Conundrum, I actually admit not being familiar with the word, oh I may have heard of it, but I didn't quite actually knew about it until you used it... I went and looked out for it and just saw how much it said in that one phrase... I always believed Atul was the wisest of the lot, perhaps having gone through rejection and being uncool before being a part of this "cool" gang led to it all... I love his spontaneity, and the fact that he is always there for friends in need... Sometimes, you only need a friend to listen to you when you are not feeling up to it... No promises, no advices, no replies, only eyes and ears to listen to whatever you've got to spurt out of that heart... If everyone had an Atul around them, perhaps we would have a tad bit less hate in this world... ;)
I liked the update, for the amount of emotions that it held, but then, that's something you've always excelled in for me... Looking forward, you better be back with some excellent update one of these days... Take care hun, especially with the work load...
Hugs,
Sneha
