**Writer [Reader] To Writer!**PG 76 - Page 39

Here I am with another doubt of mine😳😃

this time regarding a marriage ritual - in my story, Singhania boy will be getting married with Sikhawat girl, i guess all the rituals should be as per North Indian style. I am from East India (Kolkata😊), so I don't have any proper idea what "rasam" be there in their marriage and what could be its steps/chronology?

Can anyone of you describe it?(may be not in detail, but in 2-3 lines)

Thanks Ya!!!

Hey!

There's Liqourice Burning by Aria that I just started reading. The storyline's what I have always wanted to see in the show and she's written the thought processes of Arnav and Khushi really well.

There's another one- Perspectives by meera30. Read this long time back and never got time to comment. Really liked how she took the story ahead.

Hope it helps!

@khushi: Haha! looks like I am not the only one who does that! Miss the story especially Boondi..waiting for her to start again.

Thanks :)

Hey, have you read 'Mohabbat Door Jaane Na De' by doe-eyes? I could provide you with the link. It starts from the point where the truth slaps Arnav Singh Raizada on the face and the contract marriage is still on. There are 47 chapters up already, and it is a delightful read.ASR redeeming himself while still staying true to his character. :)

it's right to write in this style

Khushi: "dialogue"

Arnav: "dialogue"

I know, a writer should write in the way that she/he wants or feel, but after sometimes it gets on nerves😒, okay I should not say this as I read a lot of story write in this way 😆 and plus I write my first chapters in this way too

Okay now coming to my real question, promising that i'm not a writer, and I don't want to became one, this is just a stress out thing, I need it if I don't want to end up in a mental hospital 🤣

but I also want to make it readable, I mean bearable 😆

Okay now coming to serious thing, I have to write a conversation but I don't want to use the previous format, so I need some suggestions

I was thinking something like this

"dialogue" she said/ replied nervously etc etc

Someone can help me 😃

That's script style of writing which is used in televised story telling. It's not used in general publication unless you draft it under play - which again differs a bit from script format but essentially style remains similar.

Script format is not encouraged because as a reader I wouldn't understand what's going on.

Arnav: I love you
Khushi: Eh?

As a reader, I have no idea what Khushi's response means. Is she happy, confused, sad, annoyed? True the context surrounding these two lines do exist but I want to know how she feels. I want to know how Arnav feels. When televised, it becomes actor's responsibility to bring that to you but a writer cannot :-)

"I love you," Arnav whispered, looking at her in adoration more to himself as a rope to hang on than a declaration of what he truly felt. Her naivety brought out his vulnerable side to the surface.

"Eh?" Khushi said scratching her head confused and wondered about the mumbling from her dashing boss.

Or you can expand on the script theme and stick to it the way screenplay writers would.

Arnav is watching Khushi flailing her arms ignoring what she is talking. Background music mutes Khushi's dialogues as he looks at her with adoration in his eyes and is smiling slightly.

Arnav: I love you.

Khushi's arms stop flailing and so does her rant. Background score stops. She shifts on her feet and scratches her head. Confusion is evident on her face.

Khushi: Eh?

Hope this helps.
