Yes, aren't they. But not only did IPK build its future track on complete forgiveness, but also one that I never found duly deserved. At least not, in several ways. One of my rues. I didn't want a stretch of redemption that could become a season unto itself, but for something so integral to the story of Arnav Khushi, the blunder-guilt-realization-redemption was... treated vaguely secondary, if not mildly dismissive. And while his actions in reaction of the misunderstanding were abominable enough, what was really unforgivable was the thought leading him on to those actions. The misunderstanding itself. Not out of character for him, but that doesn't lessen the wrong it was, certainly doesn't deem a half-effort at redemption satisfactory.
Anywhoo. Wonderful writing as always, Meera. Here I am, at an ungodly hour of the night-going-morning, majorly jet lagged, with a looming long Saturday of work ahead of me, reading away piece after piece 😳 😳
