FF: New York times with Maan&Geet Thread 4 09/13 - Page 94

lovely update Hasini!
I can't wait for the next update...she's out in the rain wearing a yellow sari.. I hope Rishab comes out to look for her ;)

lovley update, and many many congrats on your 101 update. i love this story and your way of writing.

Folks restrain my hands...I need a mommy to chaperon before I attend to my jumping impulses...

I have been having this burning desire to write a period drama, based on the rich cultural history we own. And before I know CGM takes a leap and we have the dashing lead, swinging swords at me, as if daring me to write one.

Much is not known about Chandra Gupta's youth and he ascended the Magadha throne at an early age of 20. However, it is expected he came under the teachings of the infamous kingmaker Chanakya, much earlier that that.

My fiction - entirely a spin off - will portray Chandra Gupta at 19 years of age (Lets keeps this tentative, until I confirm when he was done with Takshashila) , running away from the fields of Takshshila, burdened with the image of impending responsibility on this shoulder and the great expectations his teacher has of him.

For now its a SS which I'm calling it Anthapura...And of course, as I can only write what I'm best known for 😊...A love story between Chandra Gupta and an imaginary Megha Mantra, who I'm sure never was part of his life and our history.

But... please any words to discourage me from doing so are generously welcome...

do pm me..
very excited

Great update!

Naini's outlook towards life and marriage has changed...she values them much more now than she used to, it seems. And I believe Geet unknowingly has a hand, even if little, in bringing that change. Contrary to what Naini thinks, I feel Rishabh will respect her changed perspective. Seems we are gonna have two weddings...lolz. Do continue soon.

I have some serious gatekeepers ( I absolutely adore them for being themselves with me) who have kept me from moving ahead with the new FF...

Which I think is still a good call.
Sorry Libra, Jyoti and Ramhari...we will just have to wait to hear about Chandra Gupta and Megha Mantra.
