I thought Arnav & Khushi are on the same page as in love. They both love each other. Is their some incident we are not yet aware of or is it protectiveness of an elder sibling coming in front?
Elder siblings are like that, too caring, looking out for the younger lots if they can be in some problem or heart-breaking situation.
Khushi is frustrated for obvious reason - she is not able to pursue her dream and her work was not appreciated by Arnav completely. She needs a go ahead from him. Wish Anjali knew it!! 😉
Shashi is trying to convey to her that he is doing everything for her, keeping her future in mind.
Khushi wordlessly understood it like he silently understood that she is just keeping the facade of being happy.

I dnt lik anjali. Arnav n khushi care for each other..BAS! :p
Why doesnt sashi let khushi follow her heart! :(

It was a tad bit distressing to read Anjali's advice to Arnav,..apparently, she is not cognizant of the true dynamics of A&K's relationship...and, I surmise this must be the older sibling in her,looking out for her Chotey's well-being.. so, she is forgiven...

It is indeed vry difficult to see ur loved ones broken n unable to do anythng abt it!

Oh no!!!Anjali's thoughts r makin me vry uneasy..
How does Khushi being independent wl affect A n K's relationship.?
As far as i understood , Khushi draws a lot of strength frm Arnav emotionally n vice versa. As a sis , Anjali may feel abt K nt gvng attention as much as A deserves , bt isnt shez lukin at things thru a magnifyer? definetly K wont abandon
A fr her dreams!
Plz correct me if m drawing any wrong conclusions Twiggy! i hope my thought process isnt goin overdrve!

Khushiz situation hum samaj sakte hai. its lyk a burden doin things whch v dislike n dis is the matter of her career!!
Typical Father-daughter convo.. His apprehensions, insecurities..

P.S: M luvin Payal n akashz secret rendevouz vry much :-):-):-)

A story about what happens around us everyday while allowing us to contemplate over issues we oversee when it actually happens around us!!!

Arnav here is a dream and totally different from the usually portrayed dark, handsome, angry young man. In real life, I find people like your Arnav more endearing than the macho alpha male who are driven and successful in life and have an ego.

It takes a lot of strength to "have a dream" and "make them come true". But it takes a good heart to wish for someone's dream to come true while not dreaming anything for yourself. I hate to admit that though Arnav here is so realistically portrayed I find him too good to be true!

Will I be your only reader to comment that I find Anjali's words partially true? I feel like Khushi is not that into Arnav as he is! I dont find her taking advantage of him. But I feel that she has her own dreams, aspirations, wishes etc. But Arnav seems to have made Khushi the pivot of his existence. All he wishes for is to see her happy and content. So the story so far has made me feel that while Khushi has monopolised Arnav's world, her world seems to be more than just Arnav.

Shashi is a regular Indian parent whose heart wants to see his child happy but his brain dictates that she should succeed in a "real" career.

Khushi's parents do seem close minded in their beliefs about what is a "real" career but they seem to be very flexible about their girls' boyfriends. Just saying.

P.S I am glad you started writing. Have always read your comments in other stories and wondered why you were not writing your own!

just joined the ride... and loved every bit of it...
I have read ur comments on various stories in this forum, and seeing u write this effortlessly makes me feel, what took u so long to write...😊
All the characters are so defined, and I love the dash of reality it has... the crossword puzzles in between is really fun, and says a lot about the chapter...
looking forward to the future updates..

Well, whole update was nothing but one scenario after the next ending in an impasse. I find Anjali's judgement on Khushi to be strange. But then, Anjali doesn't know them as well as we do, does she? Can she be truly blamed for looking out for her brother?
