YellowBoots,

A friend of mine recommended the story (Ms.KKN, Thanks Nihu..) on Thursday while travelling to friend's place for the long weekend. And I couldn't rest untill I completed all parts despite the friend's compaining that I was always on phone (bad manners I know)..

I'm absolutely loving the story, this is a refreshing read with depth to every character not just Arshi. I just love how you are alternating between past and present while slowly peeling the folds away to reveal the characters' characterstics..although I would say the past is more intriguing.

Payal took La's place (from the show I mean) and that makes this story refreshingly different. She has it all for now and whether she cares or will let it go easily remains to be seen.

Along with your updates, I'm also enjoying the discussion amongst your readers, one of them I know personally (I can say that na Semanti? :) ) and is a writer herself.

Waiting for "Notes fron the Past 4" 😃

Cheers

Kavi

(ps: what's your name btw?)

As part of #GivingTuesday tradition, will you give us an update today? 😉

Hmm.. There is still some Tuesday left in some parts of the world :)

Hello YellowBoots🤗First off, I just want to thank you for starting this great story - it's truly a refreshing concept and a pleasure to read. It's such a good read that I've been having the hardest time trying to write a coherent comment, but here goes!

This story has every component that is needed to make a compelling story - a good storyline, interesting characters, drama, humor, sarcasm and everything in between. But the thing that stands out to me the most in the way in which you have created/developed these characters. Each one is so unique, and has traits that makes me cringe but also admire. For example, I don't like the superiority complex of both Payal and Poonam, but at the same time, I appreciate the fact that they are so confident and unapologetic about themselves. I can seriously go on and on about all the different characters and how lovely you have characterized all of them, all the way from Khushi and Arnav down to Aman, Anjali, and Arjun (who I'm getting more curious about).

I love the way you bringing about the different social classes are perceived. Even at the young age of fifteen, all the new-ons were class-conscious. Unfortunately some of them did not change their viewpoints.

The way you have detailed the treatment Khushi has received from the new-ons literally gave me the chills, especially when it came to her classmates accusing her of being responsible for Aman's suicide attempt. It was such a sensitive topic and you handled it so well. Although what the kids did was despicable, were they mature enough at fifteen to understand the repercussions it would have on Khushi? I have a feeling none of them cared too much. However, the harm was done and I'm sure for Khushi, she will never forget how horrible she must have felt during that time.

The notes from the past are just as interesting as what's going on in present time. But I have so many questions of both periods of time and I can't wait to find out! For example, what worse thing could Arnav have told Khushi than blaming her for Aman's suicide attempt during their college years that he's still ashamed for? Who is the kid that is calling Khushi Bua? Why did the Tewari leave his shop to Garima? Could it be connected to Shyam somehow? What is the relationship between Akash and Khushi? What is the reason for the rift between Lavanya and Khushi? Who is Lavanya marrying? What is Aman up to? Are Aman and Arnav still friends? Why is Khushi still going to college? Why is she working at the Tewari shop? Who is the girl that came to meet her at the shop? LOL my mind is buzzing with multiple scenarios when it comes to all these questions and more😆 What can I do, this story is just so good that I'm looking forward to it more and more as the days pass!!!

Sorry for the long drawn-out comment - I'm just really excited about this story😃

Its such a beautiful story.

Thank you YB, for writing and sharing this story which spans class conscious India.
