Lol, dunno from where this thought came, but then that's what I feel after reading the fic. Liked it loads. And thanks to you for putting it up and sharing it with all.



I think whatever you mentioned in the subtle summary of the entire series :-) Thanks much for that!

Many thanks Suvarna for your comments :-)

Heya Robin!

Thanks for thinking so! I am not at all a sucker for happy ending :D Check out my thread in Writer's corner and you will know :D

Thanks so much for your comments on this series. It was nice to post something daily and read comments and interact so frequently. Special Sunday...hmm...that's perfect!

See you soon with....something :=)

:-) Thanks Anu. Hmm...writing something new is gonna take time. You can always check my old ones which are written well after this series.

I already have 10 year series!!! Which is almost an year old with only 7 parts written 😆

Check out Revenge Of Brothers Grimm - It has truckload of cliches and millions of plot holes. But fun!

Saturday: An introduction, formally, at long last - not too delayed though, I think. I side with Ridhima, the end and means discussion, I'd so much better not know the end. Its a dampner enough to know that death is a final conclusion, at least the intermediates to reach that should each be allowed a suspenseful end, or what fun is pulling our sack of 206 bones around an entire span of some decades?

This was a nice read, and the absence of romance, from where I stand and watch, is posing lesser threat by the day to your TRPs 😆


(S.L.)



I had this conversation in my head once and I never really could conclude and I still cannot. So I keep hovering my feet between the boundaries of two arguments.

Aaah....my series never have good TRPs 😆 Its something I have observed, acknowledged and accepted long time ago. 😆

*edit*

I'm glad that 'soon' has come! :D

Anyways, the Friday.. long part though, who cares anyway!! :P It was just.. splendid, the way you made her share her past with him... and loved the way the topic changed to comics...from her insecurities...and the realization was simple, yet one of its kinds. It is you know, the simplicity of the fic that keeps me glued to it... Everytime I finish readin a part... i want to read more.. and am lucky this time... got 'Saturday' to read and 'Sunday' as well! am all smiles!

Okay, back to this part now.. So, I read it in bits and parts...it was fun reading it, yea! Everything was just the way it had to be, just what it was needed at the moment. It was pleasure reading it. :)

Anyways, I have to edit my two more posts!! .. I'll just finish reading and will be back in minutes!!

Love,
Garima
*Not mentioning a 'continue soon', and ya know why!* ;)



You kept your word! Wooh. I am glad you liked this *long* part :-)
Comics - I love them. I still read them (most of the time, and they are Graphic Novels! not comics)

Thanks for your comment Garima!

*edit*

"Minutes turned hours!!" You're right on this one! :) I don't know what kept me away from it all the while.. and now while jumping on my bed... I feel relaxed after reading this one... but before I start blabbering about the part, I want you to know that I smile came to my face when I read 'Saturday Pg 12 [AR story]' well firstly, because I was initially in the favor of an introduction at first; and secondly, because I actually imagined AR when I read the parts.. and you know the smile got bigger when I started reading it.. The lines at the beginning were soothing and calm...I don't know why, but this calm feeling dawns upon me whenever I read this story, it's just so... self-relaxing in the first place.

:-) Self-relaxing? Sounds like therapy :D Glad that you finally made it here!

Now about the part... well I loved everything...outright from the start. It was really nice, the way he ended up acting an employee in the store. and the fact that he made an old lady blush by kissing her on the cheeks, amazes me... but yet, it crept me a smile.

:-) Why did that amaze you? I actually saw something happening like this in Borders and I harbored a minor crush on that bookstore employee for all of thirty minutes :-)


His reviews of one and every book he hold makes me all the more going-ga ga about him...He's like, anyways, let's not get there! :P Their not-so-like-argument... about teh plot of the book...was funny, well not funny...but it appeared to me anyway! Hehe... Lolzie..!

:-) It appears funny to those who know about the book and understand both point of views. Which means that you are correct in your observation.

Whola!! A discussion about music... and I thought, their life was surrounded by books and books only. :P Don't mind, no offences..after all its about 'your two perspectives' 😆 I know you wanna kick me right in the butt, but can't just help it!! So, discussing about music was only a way of getting to the point, I was bowled over at the moment... I thought this discussion would end up as super bollywood alike dance or something.. but no!! You plan something better and it was really actually hell lot better than what I thought of this would end as! :-) It's that I want things to end my way... but your's really took over me. *Smiling anyway*

I cannot stray away from music for too long. Like you said it was just a conversation starter and I remembered the reason why I started liking music by Bach; it was played in a used bookstore I used to haunt. Its amazing how I can connect every book I purchased to the music I had listened on the day of purchase. Actually that bookstore got me into listening to classical music.

The next thing I liked was..
"My roommate thinks that you are miracle that my life has been waiting for." She rolled her eyes. He was grinning.
He was grinning, me too! and then the next lines.. "Not to inflate your ego or anything but I think she might be right to an extent." well, this was so her, so so her. :)and then finally super heroes, and hey... batman is my favorite too!! *Same pinch Armaan* :P The sandman.. I'm going to read it, soon, I may say. Quiz!! and now this was so him, so so him! :P :P

Sandman, is a wonderful series of graphic novels. Its not something you can read in one sitting but it stays in mind for a long time. Batman makes an appearance in Sandman too :-) Do read it or borrow it from library. It is of fantasy genre but has an intricate storyline which spans across centuries and different worlds.

Well, loved the end to too... it have been a great night, of course! btw, I also loved "Tomorrow" :P Great one, Sookie... It's really hard to accept that they have finally introduced themselves, and that it so you... so so you!! :)

:-) Its me? How so? You have to tell me that :D

Love you,
Garima :)

*edit for part 7*

Take a bow, miss Sookie. It was just spell-bounding.. the end!! 😆 I really really loved it and I hate the fact that the week has only seven days!! 😭

The week has seven days! It was 18,195 words !! Glad you liked the ending. I went for the cliche one but with a touch of preachy goodness 😆

Humph!! Anyways.. here's my piece of review... I know, you ain't need one...but I'll give it anyway!!

On Son'sday, they held their first funeral. ' Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones, Chapter 8 (Issue #64) wow... It was touching... and their first funeral..?? This is intriguing me more and more!! Okay, I just loved the whole thing, it was as I told you before, so spell-bounding.

To be honest the quotes have nothing to do with story. I saw these seven quotes for seven days and wanted to use them somewhere. Here is where I did.

I liked the honesty, too. *Same pinch Ridz!* I liked her not - but then casual acceptance, and also, her bewilderment at this. I really don't have a plan about writing this one out, come-on, What do you expect from the one who had a super-hectic day and lacks sleep and still is up at 2 to comment upon this one..All I wanna say is.. just don't mind If I write pure non-sense, that really doesn't make sense!! *and I was going to send you a buddy request! I will anyway! ;)* --I agree, you have a right to kick me now!-- See, I'm talking rubbish nah!!

Enough of it, lets get back to the part. Okay.. I loved the stuff about being honest...and all! There were some lines that knocked me over... (will just keep them to myself for now). The way Ridhima turned things when she said that she was happy with the choice she made letting her in at the first day... I find it funny, too!

and of course, the way it ended... I repeat : Take a bow... It was awesome, the way they continued the tradition... a smile at the end. And I'm glad that they live happily ever-after..

Yeah, ending was kind of expected. I was going to give them a happy ending, happily ever after or not. :-)

... just like the fairy-tales are supposed to end, there is a smile on every face that reads it, (P.S.: exceptions are there in every case :P) 'I'm talking rubbish again!' ... Me too liked the plan! :)

Well, the part felt quite void without 'Tomorrow'.. I wish the week remained for some more days... we can establish ours!! Yes, if you think so... it's your world... okay, I'm really sleepy now... or am already asleep!!

Shit-sorry!! :P

Got-to catch some sleep. have to head school tom.!

Hope to see-me around!!
and PM me if you plan a next one in the compensation :)

I have more than a dozen fics out there lady! :=) read them first 😆 😆 😆
Love you always,
Garima..
Take care sweetheart! :)



Thanks a million Garima for your comments and your words. See you again on my old threads 😆

Hi Sookie
I had resolved to comment on each and every part.
Obviously I failed :(. because I didnt want to post the normal formal replies here I guess. And my brain is slow so it takes time and mood. :)
Anyways Im trying to make up here...so this one is for Wednesday
This one has to be my favourite after the last one. Why I cant really say, maybe because of the theme...
This one was full of uncertainties. Darkness associated with silence was very...natural and nice.I never noticed it but silence seems like an integral part of darkness. You identified the fear of unknown in human instinct very well. Its sometimes strange how we fear something which can be absolutely harmless, only because its unknown rather than being afriad of known dangers which are taken lightly.
The sharing of unsecurities was touching. Her inability to cross the opposite behaviour of her sister and seek comfort starkly resembles my brother's.
Small behaviours, unintentional comments sometimes go a long way in forming an impression that doesnt fade easily. Sometimes we even forget the incident- but not the pain and fear related to it.
The B grade movie discussion was amusing. And yes even I hate too many gadgets in thrillers. They take all the fun away!
"Thank you for being there with me, in the dark today and thank you for helping me to find the light."
Nice line.
Really liked it.
Nd im happy about the road trip
:)

Hi Sookie
So this was the inspiration for infinity? great!
Anyways this was what we can call a library part. so much reference to classic literature!
I'm going to make this my reading list.
All the quotes included were great. I wonder how much research you had to do for this
Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.
this was particularly good...everything was stimulating, both intellectually and emotionally.
now their views are contrasting even on the matter of business. I think they are different despite many agreements....and they are trying their best to accomodate them.
Your analysis of poetry is surely very deep.Its true that it depends on one's mood what they percieve, not just in the case of poetry but every form of art- be it paintings or music. I Dont have much experience as far as poetry is concerned but music does change with my mood.
Captured a lot of observations in this one
parting lines were great
