I've been left floundering to find adequate words to add to the conversation. Seemed wiser to listen silently.

We are different people at different stages of life, but sometimes different at the same time responding to how we relate with the person concerned.
Your mention of past perfect moments resonated deeply with me. We tend to gloss over unpleasant past events, thereby viewing our past through a rosy haze.



Thank you, for your words :)

Its hard to come by two people who are exactly at the same point of their lives. But when that actually happens, its nothing short of a miracle.

Chapter 1

I always feel strange when someone makes a reference to the 90's because I was born in them - and yet not. It's bloody strange - being able to understand one reference and drawing up blank at the others. For the bad movies on cable T.V feels familiar - like a flash of golden tinted memory (I don't know why but whenever I think of my childhood it's always tinted yellow or gold like an instagram filter I can't figure out how to remove) - but. And here comes the but - I can't completely relate.
And that burns me, because I want to understand. I want to know her - Khushi. Because I feel her heartbeat beneath the words and want to feel her. Skin, emotion, all.
(I find it ironic that Khushi asks Arnav to accept that they just weren't adequate enough; but thinks an angsty back story is a pre-requisite for good writing)
For the life of me, I couldn't understand why autumn leaves? I haven't even seen them in real life - a wallpaper option on the Window's desktop background is the closest I've come to seeing autumn leaves closely. But. I understand the logic... if you know what I'm trying to say?
Arnav and Khushi intrigue me. Is this the part in the film where there is a voice over monologue; in which the heroine is addressing the hero in her head; but he doesn't know it. Or are they so comfortable with each other that their silence speaks louder - and they don't need to fill it in with words?
I am half part intrigued and half part confused. Bleh. I'll read on.



Like all superheros have some sort of science accident / family tragedy / science enhancement going on for them, every great story has essentially has some angst-y back story. I write about 90s because that's when I was growing up and my character reflect that. Each era comes with own set of cliches and bad cable TV was one.

Why not autumn? Its called "Sharad ritu" which comes after monsoon and before winter.

Confusion is good, I suppose?

Chapter Two

I was reminded of the song "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra while reading this update. I read it again - this time with that song playing in the background.

Nothing else really. If I were to be brutally honest - I didn't really feel anything while reading this update. I'm not good with people - emotions. My inter-personal intelligence is quite low.
Arnav hails from the opposite end of the spectrum and I don't associate with him. But I do attempt to understand. And I think I do. Some portions of it.



Not all of us are good with people but we do make an effort to deal with them anyway. It's a way of surviving in the society and hibernation hasn't always worked for the better. Arnav is what Arnav is. Even the most social person will have an introvert self in them. Being social is the greatest mask one can ever wear.

Feels good to be reading your words again. There's a poetic qualities to those "run on sentences" and Ptetty-fying" 😆.

The Title - Unique but then most of your titles are :) Who wouldn't like being invited to a party where we have to RSVP and are given a dress code (Naked words, no less) It's the happening one :) Beautiful banner as well, GT.

Chapter - 1

While the picture you presented of Autumn leaves is pretty ...it is the opening lines that are refusing to leave my head and believe me...I read those lines few days ago (just the opening lines) and the imagery of a woman smoking with thickly applied redstick (enough of it remains on her lips to stick to to the cigarette) with smudged eye makeup and the calmness in her eyes...reminds me of woman post-coital - through the eyes of a man.

Don't know why...but I am seeing a man's white shirt on her with most of the top buttons undone...

I loved it because it is the image of a woman who know herself.


Interesting theme ... notes during a meeting ... look forward to the rest.
