Oh haha!! 😆 Well who said there has to be a reason behind everything in life???
New York Times is a very unique name for an FF but I must say that this what got me hooked to your FF. When I first read the name, i am like what? It made me very curious so i opened it and read on and on. And i am still here!!!! 😊



"New York Times" - a good escape from bosses when they pass my workstation seeing this title. They think I am reading news @ NY Times.... 😆😆😆

Amazing Update. I like how you pay attention to small details and explained them and you are quite consistent in your story flow.

I for once have a few questions just out of curiosity:

What Maan was actually thinking when you wrote this :
"
I had an inkling where she was getting at and it meant only one thing or was I too soon to concur? I lifted the sheet to continue reading."

Secondly, i feel that five years is a lot, how did they manage to be together 5 years since this is a serious issue if she could not get intimate with her husband. She has valid reasons but why didn't Dev get out of the relationship before? Why did he wait 5 years? Its true he mentioned it is not because of anyone he is breaking off the relationship but i do not believe he stayed faithful right? Ok i know this is not a story about Dev. Am just like wondering about this 5 year relationship.

Thirdly, as freely as Geet responds to Maan's kisses and she seems very passionate like the office scene. Its true that after a certain point she cant go beyond and stops but was she as free with Dev up to that point or is it just with MAAN.

One last thing i absolutely love that bit : "
Anticipating rejection, I walked to the bed, to lie down next to her. My pillows were still by the door and so I inched in closer to sleep on her pillow. I was wrong. She didn't push me around or sigh in disgust. Moments later, I slid my arm down her waist to hold onto her and she still didn't rebuff to my shock. I strangely felt she needed assurance and gave it to her the very instant." This is so real. 😛

Hope my questions are making sense.

Thanks :-)

You make sense in every way....Thank you...it only shows how much you like it...Its a great honor.
I have been telling people that Part 60 is long...so you know what is in store for you right.
If you are in India, check back this evening...
If you are in US...sleep through the night.
I know the script answers most of your questions about Dev and Geet...so I'm not going to answer them here. You will have it in the Update. If you notice, all the times, Geet would have come forth and given him the answers. She opened up at the Niagara sunrise once again during the first snow fall in NY, she opened up on her own. Maan has never...never asked her a question about their relationship. Geet has never told him outright what the reason was. This will be the first morning he will question her...and that will be a turning point in their relationship as well, as Geet gets to know more about how Maan approaches relationships.
But not your first question about Maan's inkling...That's indeed a loose end that I didn't tie, so a very bad way of telling you in a comment 😭 ...I don't like to go back and add stuff to an posted update...I kind of feel that is cheating...so here it is....

<Maan's monologue>
I had an inkling where she was getting at and it meant only one thing or was I too soon to concur? I lifted the sheet to continue reading.
After he reads the letter....
I was wrong. She had not given me the letter to tell me she had inhibitions about being intimate with me. I was not the subject of the letter and neither did she want to explain where all the shoving had come from, but to let me know that she believed she was the reason she had a sour past.

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.

You are indeed right Fatima, I had not seen it. For some reason I had missed it out. Thanks for pointing out, else I would have not been able to write a big THANKYOU...and it makes me go to bed with the pleasure, that each update strikes a chord with someone somewhere.

Your inhibitions...Why do I feel it again comes back to being accepted? Its just the feeling I got and I have no idea about what you your current situation is but I just wrote down the first word that came back to my mind.
<Based on my limited knowledge from Psych school...I'm writing this analysis..I could still be totally wrong...This is only my opinion and not a suggestion to be followed.>
To me dreams are daily discharges...once again the fact that you had a positive dream tells me that all through the day, you felt positive that the person will understand and accept..this could be your intuition that you are failing to recognize. You know why this came as a dream and that the fear did not manifest in your dream?...Let me give it to you...Your fear of rejection is so well manifested into your brain's long term memory, that it could not find a place to fit in this positivity or the inkling that you had in you when it was processing yesterday's thoughts through your sleep cycle...which even you might have failed to recognize during your conscious state...
According to one school of thought, dreams are a way of your subconscious calling out something that is standing out with your beliefs, something that doesn't fit in...or it could simply be a discharge that the brain couldn't process and is calling out to your attention. It needs an expert opinion to do dream analysis and I just used textbook methods to do it, so process it at your own risk.

Dont call it rambling...everything will make sense one day...even if it couldn't have changed anything in your life..it gives back valuable life lessons at least at a later point of time.
Thanks for taking the time to write this....I really appreciate it that you consider us all so close to your heart. I pray that you find peace soon with whatever that you are struggling with. Even this will come to pass....

I have a book recommendation for you.. "Stumbling upon Happiness"...Its a technical book and has got nothing to do with the title...but talks a lot about how our needs and wants changes over time...I have not idea why I'm making this suggestion, but I do believe in randomness at time LOL...so go for it if you can.

Sure hopefully the update will come up before my morning...Gosh I need to start restricting myself on this forum...LOL

Actually it should have been the other way round, I should be the one THANKING YOU for such a wonderful FF where I can relate to things so very well and open up.

About that dream thing and opening up, well I did try to open up to the person...but guess that person is too busy to even receive my calls never mind maybe destiny has something better some other day and better time to open up...maybe this is not the right moment.....and that's so true anything any damn thing can physiologically affect an individual ...need not necessary seeing rape as in Geet's case....but dunno how many of us really understand this fact. And telling someone this thing is not a matter of understanding each other but a matter of trust ain't it ?

Yeah things do make sense after a time...and it all comes rushing back to you and you don't even know until one time that this thing affected you until something else happens and the fear n all thots are back from now where...maybe from the sub-conscious.
And dunno why I wrote all this in the open, I could have very well mailed you....but guess I wanted some courage to tell that person and hence, I wrote in open....and now too my hands have become cold...one thing that I wished to tell you was.....maybe that thing is not that grave also but the way it got etched and some other things that followed some where else left this impact....

I'll try to find this book that you recommended who knows it might help somewhere down the line...why not give it a try, when you read loads of books of various subjects.

Yeah even I need to restrict myself from this forum....lol
sort of having a parallel virtual life outta here.

One thing that bugs me and I've read many comments outta here too why is Geet questioned time and again for not being intimate ?? If, I were in her place yeah not maybe definitely...I would have kissed and hugged the one I love like Geet does to Maan but then the idea of getting intimate and that close would not actually put me off but the fear would come....like I'm comfortable to talk on that subject might even read sensual stuff but then deep down when it comes to actually doing it...fear would grip me, just the thought of it grips me and sends shivers down my spine...what would happen in reality?

I tried telling this to a friend...and they gosh thought of something entirely different that I dropped the idea of confessing coz I might not be able to do it with my heart and probably I don't want them to know.....I've become a mess and literally lived a lie for goddamn 2 years and now I'm accused of lying and the one who accused was none other than the one I love but hell can't he understand he wasn't a part of my life then in direct sense......and now when I'm ready to confess hez not there due to difference in places.....gosh where have I stuck myself :(

Hope your der with me....listening to me.....and I'm not alone.......
