Reg Geet's monologue- Does anyone know any relationship that works in perfect equilibrium? I thought all of them were about Give and Take...



Yes. It's all about give and take where there is an equality in giving and taking. Geet here talks about relationships where one person is always giving with the underlying notion of deriving happiness of always being on the giving side of the relationship and mentions that she isn't that kind of a person.

And yeah, Emily's nose is weird but she is super charming! She is going to get an awesome intro in season 7!

Welcome to the stalker club, Madhu! lol Hey Di! I'm missing your thread. (Now that my random convos are out of the way...)

Amazing update! The end, after Geet's speech, was heart-breaking. Loved the update!

EDIT:
Hello there... i know you must be surprised to see a new person reserve the post. Well to tell you the truth i myself was surprised you gave an update while I was checking it. I thought I would take this opportunity to reveal myself... don't they say first res posts are more often seen well here is my post to future familiarity 😉 (i know i didnt make sense there oh well... 😆)

let me shut my verbosity and get right to work...

I came upon your ff by chance. Thanks to my random browsing stalking skills. I was going through a random person's posts when I saw your thread topic and the title caught my attention. I started off with the first chapter and was kind of disappointed with no character sketch. Usually I proceed only if the characters interest me. But in your case I decided why not give it a shot and I must say kudos to my decision for this is one the THE BEST... hmm scratch that not one of this is THE BEST story I have come across focusing on my favorite jodi.

I always believed that giving character sketch spoiled the characterization which needs to be realized via story telling and not writing about it before hand. But that's just me.

although I got hung up on the first chapter for it did seem a little confusing and made me jump to your last update until yest (chapter 12). But once I read that chapter I had to go back and read all the 12 chapters in one shot.

it was SHEER BRILLIANCE... well i guess that would be understatement... but english language has given us only some set of words for praise and we have to mix and match... so i am running short of words... but if you ask in sanskrit.. TathA kathAmrutasya atIva sundaram iva kundasAmanam...

Translation: This story of nectar is extremely beautiful as if like the white jasmine buds

Interesting. Are you into Sanskrit?

the characterization as well the grip on the storyline is absolutely taut and to the point. the weaving of the story along the complexity of the characters has kept me as a reader always on the edge. I usually try to imagine a character while I read the story but to tell you the truth I have been unable to clearly get a picture of the character's to associate them with people i have seen to give those characters a face. No, thats not bad, it shows the complexity and depth of character. Each update something new pops up making me erase whom I had imagined for a particular character...

That is what characterization is all about, I suppose. You can put in any face to these characters and it will still work.


Currently I short on time to give a detail report of each update so far. But all I can say is its simply brilliant...

Oh I had to mention this the last line did make my heart crunch hmm is it wrench... well whatever I cannot describe it... it must be crushed 😕. I could definitely feel the pain in Maan's words well shouldnt I feel more bad that he himself chucked away his life to that girl Kiki. Well I dont know and I hope I am hoping that he realizes what he means to Geet.

If you are feeling sorry for Maan, then I am glad that you feel so. Because up until last update everyone here was kind of annoyed with me for turning him to something they did not wish to see. The character is evolving and this chapter is the turning point for that change.


Madhu

Thanks a lot for the comment Madhu and I am glad you stuck to reading this story. Welcome to the thread! I have sent you a buddy request, do accept. Will PM you from next update onwards.


PS: oopsie forgot to ask could I kindly be allowed to get PMs of you update (although I might keep stalking your thread 😳)

Its not exactly abt the perception of Maan...they are ur characters and you get to play with them - its more about what we, as girls, would like to hope and see for Geet - a person who understands/respects/loves/stands by her at all times and acts as a support - even though she might not need one...Should I believe, and this is valid for any Man, that you look forward to being somebody's man and yet you carry on with your flings with a sorry excuse of a past life and making your own decisions? !!

And BTW, have empathised enough with Maan in the initial part of the story when his past was revealed...but if he's wrong..he's wrong...

Surprising, they are childhood friends and he cant even understand from her behavior whats going on in her mind - even when Emily and Anjali can ? thats a huge gap in itself ! I loved it when Geet said their current relationship status is that of a doctor and patient - serve him right - he deserves "acute" heartbreak after the way he has been treating his relationship Geet ..

He might get the best dialogues(the last ones) but that doesnt mean anythig unless he proves himself😆

I was bothered with all the smug confidence with which Maan believed and had even said to Satya that he will get home one day, When he decides its time.
SO I am relieved with this rude awakening he got from her.

Damn I so loved Geets outburst. Its sad though. I mostly feel it all the more when a strong woman such as she, falls for someone who doesn't quite measure up, you know.

The loneliness is still the same , but it manages to creep a little deeper inside with the sudden hollow feeling. Lighter but colder.

A superb update this one. Loved it.


Very well expressed... so cudnt help quoting you😊

Maan's confidence was pricking me as well. I loved your line abt the strong woman part...so apt
It seems Maan just thinks about her as in their childhood - and he does not recognise what she is today - he is obsessed with the happenings in his life and manages to dump all his frustru on Geet - she is an independant entity on her own - how long should she be the residual bin - its just normal to expect more...

I was merely suggesting that irrespective of what his past is the actions of the current personality is affecting Geet. Yes, at one point he did tell Satya that he wants to be with Geet. But he thinks that he has found someone better than Geet and with who life is much less complicated.

Question is - is he still looking for a happily ever after with Geet! 😆 😆 😆
