Maan:"45 more mts Geet. Ab kaisa hain?".

Geet:"Bahuth dard ho raha hain Maan"

I didn't even want to venture in that area for something kept telling me that I was the reason she was suffering. There was something that I had overlooked or had overdone'or perhaps underdone which had caused her this pain. My head was breaking into a million pieces, trying to figure out what it could be.

The 45 mts was the worst to pass. We landed and the car was ready to take us directly to the hospital. Daadima was going to meet us there with food for both of us. It was already 2.00 PM and she had not eaten anything. She couldn't swallow for her ear canal ached everytime she moved her jaw.

We are able to see Geet's insecurities in the last few updates....but it is not just Geet who has insecurities....Maan has his own insecurities. He just does not show it, cus it is hidden under his shadow self.
The above lines....he beats himself up emotionally because he believes that it is because of him something happened to Geet. He is also dealing with self-esteem, self-criticism, self-blame .. here....if the audience reads this..they can assume that this underlying self-criticism and self-blame can actually be his love and care towards Geet. I am not denying the fact that he loves n cares for her very much...but at the same time....he just thinks that he has not done enough for her for the people who love him...he keeps wanting to do enough and taking care of everyone and every situation...because he feels that he cannot let go...it is all his responsibility.
Some r annoyed with Geet just because she is able to express her insecurites...whereas Maan keeps blaming himself in his thoughts....and is not able to express...though Geet is able to read his fear in his eyes...
I feel now I am rambling...😕

Thank goodness...somebody caught it and made Maan a mere mortal. This is all I wanted to hear and that was the objective of that part.

A big THANK YOU....

I was moved by the way she craved for such simple things. I felt like to a teenager for I wanted to impress her.

In regards to Maan insecurities....same here...even though our Maan is strong and can handle every situation that is professionally related....I feel like he feels really small when it comes to love and that too in front of Geet...it is like he is trying to prove himself...and him being just himself is not enough. Just my thoughts..

Oh I thought Maan's insecurities were always out there...She rejected him...like 2-3 times?
In the whole story he has been pacing himself so as to not scare her off...only at 1 or 2 places has he broken down and lost control...There was no question of Maan not being a mere mortal- he has this very earthy quality about him throughout this story...

He is insecure and his insecurities are tied to Geet..whereas Geet's are more related to her past..I don't know if I am making sense anymore..

I seem to have offended everyone with my one comment about why Geet wasn't willing to look forward instead of dwelling on the past. I am sorry Hasini, the intention was not to hijack your thread or offend anyone.

@ Pixie,
Nahin yaar.....we are not offended. Do not think that way please.
We all write here...cus we love to.
Even Maan's insecurities are related to his past...the way he was been brought up...his relationships etc...
Anyways.....I will also stop here.

@ Rachana: Finally I made you write 👏...LOL....Its a one shot about my NY trip...ROTFL.
So the next time, I meet a Arjun, I'm really really going to get carried away thinking its a sign. So now it will be interesting to see if the guy I end up with will also have the name Arjun. And I have no idea why I just wrote that last sentence. 😕
I hope that doesn't happen. But thanks anyways, because you made my day with the OS. I'm really flattered that you wrote me a mahi moment. What can I say, that is what family is there for...to truly sense what you need for that day and give it to you.
So when is your FF coming out? Trust me this OS is an FF in the making...please continue...just change the character names please....Arjun is fine...give Hasini another name.
But I think I sort of missed out on something and wrote to you that I will not be able to identify a Mahi moment even if it stared me in the eye. The truth is I have been carrying it with me ever since I had felt it. Not for a moment, but for 10 days. Those 10 days will never come back in my life. And the face is still green in my mind. I guess its time to write it down. i was talking about it to Pushpi today and I feel there is no harm in coming out with it. Will write it down in scenes and post it later.

@shradav: We are all NY times family. And need I say more? Will that help you to your heart out in this thread? Please continue and that is all that I care about. Your pointers only help me to mold the character than anything else. I have always loved your comments so...keep it coming, if you trust me.

He had brown streaks and that was not normal for a south Indian. It was the first time she had laid eyes on a guy this tall for his age. They both came from the same standards but different schools. She boarded her luggage and turned to see if she could catch a glimpse of him once again. He wasn't there and instead an old man in his fifties stood in his place. "Oh! you must be Hasini, Prami's daughter" he cheerfully greeted. She simply smiled for she wasn't used to being around her mom's colleagues."Here meet my nephew, Hari" said the old man and she was shy to look up for it was him, whom she was eagerly awaiting to get introduced to.

He greeted her casually and walked back to his birth. She didn't know if he was excited about her the same way she was for him as she had not greeted him back. There was just one thought that plagued her mind that moment and that was the fact that she was going to be around him the next 10 days touring Northern India together. She didn't know if attraction was good for her age, but all she knew was that it was normal.
For the next 5 days, his eyes would follow her everywhere and she would simply acknowledge it with a turn to look at him occasionally.
Things took an unexpected turn that fifth day.
It was lunch time and it was her turn to serve sambhar to the others who were still eating, for she had finished her lunch early. He sat down at the stairs far away from the others conveniently and had a serving of steaming white rice on his plate. "Oi Sambhar" he called out to her with a tease in his voice. She had not expected that and slowly walked towards him to serve him the very dish he had asked for. She was careful not to meet his eyes as she poured the hot lentil soup onto his plate, but lost the fight as she was about to turn and walk away. His forehead was narrow and he had large round eyes. Soft hazel ones that had the same cheerfulness that sounded in his voice when he had teasingly called for her. He had five courses of Sambhar that day and that is all he had for lunch for that is all she served that afternoon. She chuckled the fifth time she served him and had every intention to tease him back. "Are you done this time?" she asked him as she looked up to meet his eyes for the last time that day. He simply smiled and that spoke to her in many words that she had never heard before.

This is something that had happened in my life many years ago. I don't know his full name so unfortunately I'm never going to find him. Just a quick write up of one of the Maahi moments I had with him. I have a few more. I will post if I can. I don't expect comments, just read and enjoy something I had never revealed to anyone expect pushpi till date.

@ Hasini It was wonderful. N never say never.😉
I have to think and recall if I ever had Mahi moments...sochna padega..n if I come across something....I will post for sure.

As usual I'm late......but I'm so glad your not like others ...you know what I mean rite 😳

Ok...Leaning Tower of Pisa :) quite a unique name though !
Oh! I feel so sorry for Geet shez suffering from all this...why does this poor girl have to go through all this ? All the miseries are in store for her...even though happiness is a constant companion in recent days....Hope she gets well soon and nothing serious !

What should I say about Maan...an altogether different persona was highlighted as in another layer of his persona was peeled off and that too so very beautifully !!

I dunno why but their talks and all especially besides the window setting amazes me and sends me a trance...like so much could be felt and interpreted, feels like I'm living it and when ever I read it I picture myself in Geet's place...it's difficult for me to fit in Maan's shoes :)

And the Rugby match in the cool rains ah! that was heavenly and pleasurable at the same time.
and I oh so adore the White kurta 😳

The way it is going ....slow pace is what you say is good.....a reality factor comes into being this way....feels more like your living rather than mere fiction.

And yeah I read those post of yours in between; the temple..hari one....I'm not gonna quote everything though but then all of them... they are wonderful....the whole incidences and everything, taken right outta your life... never knew such things could also be put forward so beautifully and its so touching ....

Take Care,
Fatima

P.S: Guess this is the longest comment I've ever written :)
