No two people in love and in denial could have played out this scene better in fiction. Arnav for all his intelligence was pretty stupid and Khushi for a change voiced her hurt. I did like her come back, it is not often one has the nerve to show someone else the mirror and Arnav failed miserably in this test.

Kalyaani said what I wanted to so well. It was a scene that broke my heart because I didn't know who I was hurting for - I could literally see two hearts shattering in my chest - dramatic eh?

It was also the scene that made me write for the first time. Of course, if I had the opportunity to read this piece after seeing that scene, no writing would have ever happened :D:D

Maybe television can never delve into the psyche and nuances of characters like good writing can. Indian television serials (most of them) are not exactly known for their subtlety or even creativity. Each time I watched the show, frankly I lost a few marbles.

But it is scenes like these... the portrayal of them by excellent writers like yourself...the confluence of the writing and the delving into angst and melodrama which made me go back again and watch the scenes to keep up with the story.

Maybe I'll watch bits and pieces of the show again.

Excellent work, really. So long. :-)

Blood Noir

Thank you for writing this one..🤗

Probably was one of the oddballs who thought Arnav was trying hard in his own style to adjust to life with the Guptas..

I'm so glad that you mentioned the part about Khushi finishing his sentences...it's a trait I don't appreciate too much .🤔

It's a very emotional piece and I love it..😃

P.S: I remember being annoyed with the broken mirror in the Gupta bathroom.😆

P.P.S..when you have accommodated all other request,I do have a few more scene requests😳

Hello RB. Random surfing and your name brought me to this thread and I'm so glad that I read this. I might be blaspheming a little here but the charm of IPK, to me, has always been linked to the angst and the humour, even more than the romance. And now I find out you're writing both simultaneously (W&P gets a separate comment, definitely 😛), and well, wheee!!!!

For 1, 2 and 3: I never managed to stomach these scenes, too much glycerine was flowing around in the show at that point, but I especially loved that you wove in so beautifully that moment when he had let go of her hand and let her fall. That tiny microcosm of cruel time has now been magnified into her reality, and you have absolutely nailed that constant, ignorant terror Khushi lives under. And the worst, she does not know, he won't answer. That, I've always felt, was the worst, most unforgivable yet vulnerable part of Arnav's actions. I still sometimes like to wonder why he didn't tell her until literally at death-point, because it never made much sense to me. Was it just fear of it being the truth, or something darker, more perverse? Alas, we'll never know, but we can imagine and well, you can write. 😆

For 4: Very...realistic. Class issues and realities examined so subtly without being judgemental or worse, charitable. Everyone aspires to a better, more comfortable life, and that aspiration is perfectly honourable. Again, being born privileged, and being used to the creature comforts which come with it, is nothing to be ashamed of. I loved that you wrote Arnav's pov on this one. We sometimes tend to use the 'rich arrogant snob' a little too unjustly when it comes to our favourite heroes.

Didn't get why it is called "Blood Noir" though. Maybe I don't understand the correct reference (somehow I don't think it is the book), so it would be great if somebody could explain. Thanks.

For 5: Wow. One of the most perfect, never-to-be-forgotten IPK scenes ever, for me. Your vignette was like that perfect annotation in the priceless special edition. Enough said.

Scene recommendations will definitely arrive soon. Thank you for writing this.

You're blessed. MashAllah.

Whatever you write is so beautiful. You take it on another level all together.

I may not be your ideal reader who gives nice long comments but i do read everything you read, often the genres are not of my liking but i still follow your work because you write so well.

Always a delight reading your stories.
