Rachana Di 🤗

Thank you for everything! Your good wishes and this update...oh I so needed this update!!! I loved it....the two hearts twinkling against each other, the lavender scent (which is one of my favs btw)

Awesome! I really needed a smile! Reading this and Hasini's update definitely made for a good break. Now time to hit the books again for tomorrows finals.

Hasini 🤗 That was for the good wishes and your update too! Lets try chat abt the update or I'll just post something up laterz

I don't have any issues...I posted my mahi moments here too right. 😳

In fact a shout to all....Please post Mahi moments...it will be fun to read. Its a jolly good season, so please come out with your writing skills. It keeps me going. Hope you all can discover the writer in you too.

You're too kind Hasini

For now, I just hope to rationally think and write my practical exam. As long as my writing skills are well rewarded there, life is sane ;-)

Hasini, today you have put me in a difficult situation....

Overall, I really liked the update- they both want to take the relationship forward..I loved how she got back at Sasha- that woman has had it coming to her for quite some time!

But what did not work for me was that scrap book- I understand that you wanted to show that he has a past which may not necessarily be as simple as Geet thought- but a scrap book- thats just downright cheap and vain, which your Maan never was! It just sounds too peacockish for my liking...or for me to be able to associate with Maan.

I really want to know, why you chose that as a way to let Geet know that Maan has been around (which I am guessing is what the intent was)? I agree that with the premise that there is no such thing as a perfect man or a perfect woman...I just do not agree with the execution here...

Hasini,

a suggestion yaar.. you could have opened a new thread for the new FF and Promo and you can add the link in your signature.. so the comments won't get mixed up..

I wanted to do that in a separate thread, but you know what I was a little apprehensive about posting out to everyone.
The reason is very much the background of the story. What if people take offense to Geet's profession? and hence wanted to get the opinion first from where my NY Times family hangs out.
I know you guys will be kind to me.😃

It was not just Sameera I had to deal with at that moment, but it was an endless list and how stupid was I not to have thought about it? He was 29'and ofcourse I should not have expected him to have been'Some of the notes in the book flashed to my mind and it was plain uncouth. I couldn't believe Maan had a past with a sybaritic lifestyle. I wondered what else I didn't know about him. Babaji, mujhe toh yeh bhi pata nahin ki yeh kitna kamate hain'I remembered the time he was down with Mono'."I smoked a joint'" Did he mean a cigarette or'?
There was just one sentence that echoed in my ears'"Earth calling little Ms. Sunshine"'I had been lost in a perfect world'in my Mr. Perfect. Reality called out to me. He was not perfect after all.

Is Geet not jumping to conclusions here? Can she even give him a chance?

Had she not said...he was the first breath of air...that she needed to breath? All that is gone?

Bus itna vishwas, bus itna bharosa. N so what ..if there was a past....she knows how closed off he was...and how he used to live his life before she came into his life. She had accepted him for who he was.....when she had said Yes to dadima for the marriage....

N what about...Chalna Aahiste Ishq Naya Hai?Pehla Yeh Vada Humne Kiya Hai.....had she not told him this in Central Park?

Questions, doubts, insecurities, fears.....are all devils that take over your mind n make you forget ...trust, love, compassion, understanding, kindness......

Will just wait for the next chapter to unfold....

So i went back and read the part where I felt he had a self compiled scrap book...
My first reaction was she found a copy of KS...but with all the girls names, notes etc I got confused. Is it a prank gone wrong? But why is it his secret stash then?

Anyway, like I said yesterday- I am patiently waiting for today's update...Sorry for jumping the gun!😃

Also finally got around to reading the promo for day and night- It sounds interesting- so my vote is you must continue...I really liked Chandni/Geet's character but why did u make Maan a don? Just curious? or let me pose the question vice versa- since you wanted a badass Maan then why make Chandni what she is?

Just trying to understand your thought process 😊

ps: What is this mahi moment series? I read a couple- they were real fun...You should totally link to them in the first page!

You were totally right with your guess...Its KS...and a prank...But I never mentioned it was part of a secret stash...it was out there as part of his study...

The update will be out...in just about a few mts.

The promo...I think I had explained it in one of the posts. Let me find the link and send you...But I had not written Maan's characterization or Geet's characterization there at all...so I guess you need to wait for a couple of Parts to even call Maan a Don....Dont forget he is well bred...The reason I wanted two characters who dont have any restrictions to come togther...She had seen it all and he could have anything he want and the challenge was to pose barriers to such a story line...I just added dimensionality for us to deal with later...how they redeem each other is how its all about...one line and you have the story...OOps...Its still in the works..That was just the promo...I dont know it will take flight.

I started off with one of the Mahi moments I had with my first crush and ever since we have the NY times gang pouring their hearts out... some made up and some real life Mahi moments they have exprienced...

By the way mine are real...Let me try and get to the links later...may be the weekend.

Thanks for reading and commenting once again. Guess its your record...two comment posts for the same update.😉

Thanks Rachana for both the long comments. I always look forward to it. I guess you partly have answers to your questions in the update I just posted. But it doesn't explain everything. perhaps had you know the kind of book she had in her hand, would have given you the picture of the fear she was going through. i had not planned to reveal it in the update you posted comments for. I guess even pixie was a little confused.

Actually sorry I guess I'm evil...I dont understand the questions that arise in your mind...

Today everything has come out in the light...there are no more baggages hidden...from geet side.Going forward its just how THEY help each other in getting past this. Because its not just geet getting past it...this will impact Maan to an extent as well as...it shows a sign of weakness here. form geet side to have let a relationship watch go down the drain..and I dont want to dwelve into into further...for this is planned for another update.

res..will edit tomorrow in the morning.....its late here
and gotta give an exam tmrw :(

*Edited*

ok...so where was I?? what should I say ?? should I say something....coz I'm at short of words....why and how Hasini your tale mixes n matches with me and my inhibitions and every other thing? how when I end up reading this I feel like I'm reading my own thought process ..and feel so close...off course there is no Maan in my life who loves me, yep but this is also true I'm still pursuing my Maan despite the fact having this feeling hez never gonna be mine, that I might never be able to share things with him.

this one is so recent, I was hit by this bout of melancholy n fear of love...and it was eating me up tried writing it down to clear my mind couldn't hands were shivering and today too whilst typing this its d same....fearing love...so many different interpretations but mine oh so sadly fits and matches with Geet...though reasons are so very different, yet its all so much.....I feel so happy n content at the moment, you won't believe me I read this update just before going to sleep at night...I was unable to fall asleep at first then I finally did....and for the first time I had a beautiful dream related to love, with the one I love.....there was no damn fear involved when I woke up in the morning...I felt like I had confessed this to him and he understood..but then reality is not true...it was a mere dream..sigh

I agree greatly that you can't just open up to anyone, esp when its like this....I dunno if I'll ever be able to or live with that fear forever....I hope I can...that he understands coz at the moment its all about him....I dread to even think about someone else apart from him.....

Some might even feel whether she will be able to have a physical relation with him...I feel she will have coz then she will realize the difference...Maan's love will take her outta this shell...but it'll take time....it took five years to confess to someone so damn close....dev was close yet far away...as this is not mere virginal fears.....its much more, at times this love can coincide with the inane idea that its not love but lust....wherein its not your mind knows it, yet your heart fears it....

Gosh I've rambled too much I guess...better take off
you might not even read this and if you do....dunno if you even believe me
but I just had to pour it down....though not everything something !
And hope and pray.....that a man like Maan exists at least in my life....dunno what the future holds...its hell and ........i dunno how to rite

Take care.

and this is where it began "She was pointing to my secrect stash that had me going at B School'It was funny it landed in her hands and that too at the most appropriate time."

😆..So while I had started off thinking it was KS...I ended up thinking Maan was just another version of Barney (from HIMYM😆)...you can imagine my disappointment that I decided to give you a piece of my mind too!

My husband and I got married after a 7 year long relationship....and now we have been married for 3 years....If I can remove the cobwebs from my brain...I shall try and share some of our Mahi moments too❤️

and Now I am even more intrigued by the other story...since I seem to have read too much into the flashes you showed of Geet and Maan😆

ps: I will come back and read the latest update and comment on this later
pps: 3rd comment on one post...Now I definitely deserve a prize!

Pixie...What can I say? Its my bad...I was confident when I posted it to you...because I remember editing it in my word doc...Sorry about that. Must have messed up while posting it in the thread.

Barney? HIMYM? Sorry Geet is the second soap I saw like in ever...The first one was Kasauti zindagi ki...which I didnt complete...So no way I would know the lingo.

"I ended up thinking Maan was just another version of Barney (from HIMYM😆)...you can imagine my disappointment that I decided to give you a piece of my mind too!"

Does this mean that Maan has been restored in your view..? Let me know... By the way I dont know if it came across clearly...He did it with Sameera alright...perhaps I should be explicit...what do you think?

About the other Simply surreal..the initial parts are too intense...even their characters are complex and I have big doubts if I can handle it...the thing is let me have a full story line....its just an idea and a promo that was published to check if its worth pursuing...I wrote the first couple of parts over the last couple of days...its time consuming...with both FF's...

Sure totally go for it...I will open another thread for Maahi moments, if we have quite a bit...what say? How many do you think you can write..from a 7 year relationship...and going 3 now...😍

What prize do you want? A dedication? A special scene request? A spoiler? That is the best I can come up with...

So far we have seen...
She was married off to a man she didnt know at the age of 18
She didnt get to study and get to where she wanted easily <Linked to above>
Her marriage broke up with Dev
Too many things...but did you realize that all this points to the one thing that she brought out yesterday...you should wait for today's conversation between Maan and geet, but my hands are itching now...so here it is.

Had she processed all that happened, she could have...the key word is could have avoided breakup with Dev...The biggest problem I see with people is that they have issues to face the fear itself...because many a time getting to it is a problem...but once you get to it...a couple of hours could do the trick...if not make you get out of it completely, once you accept it, it will teach you alternatives.
I'm not so sure given her background how she could have run away from the marriage and could have made a living out by herself...again she could have...
There is again the guilt factor that she didnt help the girl...she has punished herself too in many ways..which will come out in the upcoming conversation...
More than Maan...only she can help herself..
That is why I let Maan finish the last update with the sentence..

"She needed saving...from herself..." Perhaps I should have ended it this...Argh...i always come up with so many could have been's when I re-read the posts.

"She needed saving...from herself..by herself."

..everyone needs saying from them selves, .. like it's said ...."You save yourself or you remain unsaved."... truly she will need to face her own fears and make this (relationship) work.. ..else there is no difference from this relationship to her previous.. except maan is not dev.... mr. perfect...
