Sigh! This story also got over :-( However, my timing seems to be spot on of having discovered this ff. Just as i completed the main story, i find out you've updated the epilogue too. Else i'm sure to have forgotten to check on it later. And if i had forgotten, i would have missed the classic dialogues of 'i'll jump off a cliff' and 'you've got to be kidding me'. Ha ha ha. Poor Arnav Foster. Sure, he didn't know what hit him. From someone who's not particularly fond of kids to now being a dad to four.
So yeah, coming to the main story, I loveeddd it, just as much as i loved The impenetrable heart. Okay, maybe that's kinda wrong, coz I'm biased towards this story coz this had an Anglo-Indian backdrop with the story set in a hill station kinda place. So A late spring earns more brownie points from me. :-P I just loved the way you've described Landour. It almost made me wish to abandon my city lifestyle and want to go and settle down there, with its greenery, mountains, fresh air and filled with warm people. It reminded me of few similar places I had visited and made me reminisce my time spent there. And the plot of the story, was interesting to read too. I always like to read about the characters' growing up years, and with this story it was no different. I wanted to continue reading about their teenage years. But then no worries, after the leap, the story just got interesting. I loved little Brandon. How adorable was he! As Arnav said, he wasn't bratty like other kids his age, had the right manners, and was oh-so-adorable. I didn't expect complications to arise with regard to his health, and it was a sad few parts when you wrote about his hospitalization. Poor him and poor khushi too. You described the mental agony of a mom so well and the panic of finding your baby unconscious. Oh, btw, whoever chose the kid from 'masoom' film to be Brandon in your story banner, i agree with the choice. Such innocent looks, just like the character.
Oh I must mention, i let out a knowing, amused smile when i read about the part of arnav's uncle being the same tutor from your other story. And arnav here has been named after maharaja arnav from the other ff. Good thinking, nice way of linking your stories :-)
Hmmm what else, oh yeah, because of you, i discovered a new song too. David essex's A winter tale. I youtubed it after you mentioned the name and fell in love with it. Its just my kinda song! Thank you for that and also for continuing to entertain us with your imagination and creativity.
