Me likes. Me likes. Me likes!! 👏👏😃😃
Things that i simply LOVED..
1. Georgette Heyer 😉😉
2. As someone else already mentioned, there is a sort of serene poetry and a divine rhetoric in your sketches... the words lay bare a vivid picture of utmost beauty - the actual scene, behind-the-scenes, the thoughts as well as the undercurrent of tension, anticipation as the 2 move towards their inevitable union. 👏👏
3. The dialogues and the characterisation... i mean i think yours are more true to the original than the CVs have been these past 9 months or more... it has been the 'death of the author' and we have understood Maaneet as flesh & blood characters FAR better.
4. The leads... I simply love your Maaneet - there is immense believabilty in their quirks, their flaws, their reactions to the happenings around them... i mean my fav bits from your desc..
Geet - A quiet girl - inward looking and happy in what she has made of her world, going with the flow of life and ready for opportunities when they come and when she is allowed to take them. While she doesnt take the route of the rebel that doesnt make a subserviant soul. She merely bides her time... nonetheless as focused on what she wants as the best of them... any man worth his salt will have to work his way to reach her inner sanctum... if he doesnt bother, then he's not worth it...
the last bits were what really made your Geet stand out from the melee
Maan - 'Not a recluse, but minds his own business'... what a brilliant and perceptice desc of how recluses perceive themselves 😆😆... A no-nonsense guy not out to peacock his riches or prove his worth & supriority... no cynical, world-weary billionaire out to prove to himself that the world is mercenary yet one who derives his worth from the 'toad-eaters' (yes yes... i know!! 😉)
One who genuinely seeks those in whom he discovers a kindred soul and eschews the rest... 'i mind my own business'...
And which is why there is an inevitabilty in their coming together... a classic case of 'like calls to like' and not the cliched 'opposites attract'
5. The inevitability of it all... - 2 people drawn together by their desire to keep the riff-raff at bay and save their deepest self for only a privileged few... 2 people not bothered about keeping up or fighting with the world, content in their own...😍😍, 2 people with their private dreams, admitting only those who share a similar dream...
I have written this horribly long mail but am still not convinced i have been able to explain well what struck me most as the beautiful parts...
keep up the updates, short or otherwise... keep 'em coming!! 😆😆
