Arhi SS: Tewari & Sons, No. 23, Chandni Chowk (THREAD I) - Page 30

Life evolves all the time and the bratty rich kids have as well...at least some.

Khushi's indifference to Arnav matters to him ...what did he do??

Poonam sounds like an interesting character and I can't wait to see how she connects with Khushi of this story.

"...that there was far greater camaraderie in their silence than in their conversation..." says a lot!!

Looking forward to the next chapter.

This is such an intelligent, interesting story told vividly and simply with that undertone of saying so much instead. It makes all the reading in between the lines all the more fun.

Aman...I like him somehow. So often people hide behind obnoxious, cheerful masks when all they want is a little companionship.

Akash seems nice and docile, while La clearly knows how to harbour a grudge. I like you insinuated that Khushi's life hasn't changed because she's still in Chandni Chowk. Does it represent her feelings for Arnav too?

Don't know what to make of Arnav and Payal yet, though the latter seems prejudiced and highly opinionated.

I like Poonam!

Khushi is going to college , may be she is a lecturer . The most waited face off was pretty cool . Khushi explained why she did not recognise Arnav , it was an impulsive decision . Like she said Arnav did not share great rapport with khushi , obviously she sees no need for blooming friendship . Arnav is again left with lots of questions and unsaid feelings . La finally has realised she is not a sports person & instead opened a talent school to help budding talents . Khushi seems to not hold any grudges on anyone who were mean to her . Poonam Raizada doesn't like Payal as her DIL , if ever Arnav marries payal saas-bahu will have rocky relationship .

Khushi's identity is yet to revealed

What a comment by Khushi ! So she was pretending all this while.

Arnav seems to be looking for a closure.

Cant wait to read more! 😃

What might have happened between these two other than the incident during the school competitions ..

Mrs Raizada is an interesting character and expecting some fireworks from her

Waiting to know whether Arnav and khushi met in the college

Ok, I'm back.

This chapter was interesting in that it had almost no actual 'action' but a lot of interesting history.

Why did Mahesh Tewari leave his shop to Garima Gupta? Why have I never heard of Bedmi Puri and Nagori Halwa? Where is Shyam if there is a random child not-calling Khushi 'Bua'? Why does Khushi go to college-- to finish up a degree she had to quit midway or to teach or just to study further? (I'd add 'just to chill' but she doesn't seem the vella sort.)

Poonam Raizada is so cool. And f**king intimidating. I'd be terrified of her if I knew her in real life.

So I see Hari Prakash is to function as her trusted spy to keep tabs on her kooky kids.

Like Asma said, I like Payal more than Lavanya. Payal, in her blunt tactlessness and blind privilege is more honest than Lavanya's complex-ridden sympathy. Of course, I don't have Lavanya's full story yet, so I ought perhaps to reserve judgement.

OMG. Is Lavanya marrying the foreign-return Aman? (I don't know why this occurred to me-- probably too much fanfiction that has made Lavanya-Aman near fanon.)

Said it before and going to say it again-- Akash is a cutie. I rarely like Akash, but i do here.

And while Khushi is an enigma for sure, so is Arnav. I can't really put my finger on what he's really like or what makes him tick. I can say with some amount of certainty that he's a nice guy in that he not only feels guilty about whatever he did to Khushi before but also in that he feels like he's cornering her unfairly. I wish more men in fiction thought about their actions like that.

And how chill is Khushi? I have been getting this feeling for a while that she is better-adjusted than the rest of this crazy lot, but I also agree with Stripe and SS88 (I think) in that she is hiding a lot of hurt that she has just more or less successfully pushed away.

I love this shop. Like, I know it's the title and so must be an important place, but just generally. It seems like it has so much potential for action and conversation-- which of course, is entirely due to your skillful writing.

Love, as always.
