Khushi's reaction was of a mature person and very graceful.

Alright Twigs!

So I read the chapter and now I have so many thoughts. I will proceed in the order in which they impacted me.

1. Akash and Payal had quite a moment there. Fun filled and very young couplish. A little like that side love story that we love to read but really you are waiting for the real thing :D. Not that anything in this story is less than real. Even the Payal / Akash moment is as real as conversations between couples who are on the precipice of a change in their relationship - the confession was a proof of that.

2. The Shekhar - Khushi confrontation. I am fortunately one of those people who never inspire enough confidence in anyone to openly be envious :P, but this is part of the corporate world and I don't know if this is even part of the main story - but people like Shekhar use such tricks all the time to undermine you, and when you don't budge, use the information to ensure that it is twisted to their advantage when it comes to opportunities and recognition. I hope Khushi is smart enough to know when things are changing around her.

3. The renewable energies target had me reading with such concentration - one I usually reserve for special occasions and rare newspaper reading bouts :P The argument about the government doing something or not reminded me of the Swades debate and honestly I think it is not all dark but there are veryfew people who want to do anything other than make money for themselves. And sadly enough, I am even OK with people making money as long as there is some good out of it. At one time, I used to think that the government has too many issues and there are more important things that take precedence than energy - food, safety, health, education, but I am wiser - these are just excuses given by weak governments and weaker politicians!

4. I am very interested in the origins of Arnav and Khushi's relationship - not because I am a romance / SKD fan - that is just one part. I sort of want to know that Khushi isn't with Arnav because she believes he is a project that her contribution will make a difference to, if you know what I mean. If you follow House, sort of what House tells Cameron - about her wanting to fix damaged goods being the key reason for her interest in him. Again, I know that reading in parts gives you the disadvantage of asking questions that may be judging too soon. If that is case, please ignore. Actually, it's just a musing, I don't actually expect an answer - it's just what I want to see in some form in the story. Again, if that is not what you planned, I will respect that too...don't hate me :D

Ah this is the most time I've spent on an FF since Parinay ended. Most times I feel more than think...Welcome change. I love it

the way khushi handled shekhar question was bang on..

Lovely update...

That Shekhar guy sounds like a misogynistic, envious jerk...and probably all offices world wide have atleast one person like him. Really admired the quiet confidence and poise with which Khushi gave befitting replies to those preposterous queries. The energy issue in India...have made a mental note to google it soon. Sounds like an interesting debate and one with potentially far reaching implications.

Ha..ha ..so like a true fan, Aakash is rattled by EBV, the ugly syhthetic cousin of IPKKND.

Aakash dreaming of rabba veing with Payal...and Payal's reaction..

No what did you say? Something about rubbing? she said blinking her eyelids furiously.

That made me LOL..😆

Wonderful update Twiggy...Loved it...:)

First, ramanchi! you wrote you are nervous and all that...And I was expecting some major rabba veying...coz isnt that FF writers normally become nervous about :) And I was reading and reading but you never got to the nervous part 😆

Ok, I must tell you that this update felt like a college assignment until the Payash part happened! Throughout their discussion about renewable energy, I found myself researching for information and ended up knowing a lot more than I knew when I started reading this chapter...got to give it to you twiggy! A thought provoking update indeed! But like AquaSandhya says, even I dont agree that the government is doing everything that can be done..We can start a debate on this topic here and I am sure many would be of the same opinion. And yes, as individuals even we arent doing much and I love Khushi's attitude about the whole thing!

The best part of the update was how Khushi didnt give up her parents while discussing her career choices with her friends!

Ha Ha...whattey way to vent out your frustrations about EBP! very creative indeed!
