I am having to re comment ... my network connection decided to play with me and and i lost the entire post that i made! will try my level best to make up again with the same intensity with which i wrote first right after the read! *sigh*
That was well thought through update i must say!
Call it co incidence or what ... the ad that is being played on my screen of the IF page now is that of Mother's Day! so in sync with my line of thoughts when commenting now was all abt the 2 mothers in the update today! :)
An update full of 2 mothers and their perspectives when it comes to dwelling with their children.
I would not say .. there was a stark contrast between the 2 ... but the way i see it ... it was mainly abt a Mother's perceptual experience wrt to a Son to that of a Mother wrt to a Daughter...
Aradhana was anything but worried thinking abt the possibility of Khushi in her Son's life! On the other hand Garima thinking abt the chances of Arnav in her daughter's life unsettled her...
Both doing their bits of being a keen observer and yet maintaining a reasonable distance without intruding much into their children's life unless a time should arrive!
That is the only commonality i find in them both...
You brought in a new slant in the story with this update Chaitu... So far we did not ponder much on the possible hindrances that could occur in ARHI's life expect for the Shyam fiasco! But now we have come to a stage where parent's intervention will bring in a whole new aspect in this tale... weather for good or bad only time will ans!
There was not much of Khushi in this so cant comment much ... But i would like to mention that i liked Arnav's mental monologues...
For a guy having to place a person second next to his Mom ... is a huge thing! and i am glad that he has come to reserve that spl place for who else but Khushi! or rather has already placed her there.. though he may refuse to admit it now owing to the supposed earliness in their relation! :)
All in all an intriguing update and a refreshing one at that!
Thanks for the update and the PM Chaitalee!:)
