Notes from the Past: 3



That's my dad! He would never like to see us skipping meals or staying up at nights to study or going out of our way to organize or participate in events in college but every time we would win a certificate or trophy he would be the first one to let our building, khandaan, even mohalla know what one of his 3 daughters have accomplished. This Garima reminds me of him. My dad ❤️

You have beautifully described Khushi, her life at New Ons, her relationship with the classmates there, her relationship with her family... all with the names she has been christened with. This girl didnt have anything easy, did she? With each part that you post, though you havent shown any deep sorrow yet, I get this sense of foreboding for Khushi. Why?

In the last note to the past you had given an inkling that Aman has troubled Khushi but to this extent?? To help a weak student like Aman the teachers made Khushi suffer in both her sports and studies. Upar se itney saare expectations. Arnav apney best buddy ko control kar kar ke bhi kitna control karta hoga? If I were her, I would have broken down I guess. Well, Aman broke down... To that later.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Aman, that IS funny, gotta hand it to Lavanya. The kind of attention Aman was giving Khushi, even I am wondering was he interested in her

Arnav was, I believe, still upset with Khushi for the last incident between them. But damn this guy! He knew that Khushi was not only trying to break the ice between them but was also uncomfortable feeling lonely amidst all those chichora guys in the train. I love Harry Potter, it better be used as a pillow than a shield to snub Khushi.

More to Arnav, just when I started liking him for being friendly and helpful to Khushi in the train and when Khushi couldnt participate in the event he 😡 Just because Khushi didnt answer the phone (How could she? She is a girl who shied after circumstantially sharing the same berth as him... she has been that cocooned from boys. She doesnt know how to answer a guy's phone and speak to another guy!) Arnav had to go out of the way to mention Khushi wrt Aman's suicide? He was as good as blaming Khushi for the troubles Aman dished out for her. Like really? Also, ignoring her royally when she asked about Aman with genuine care... it isnt as if Khushi wanted Aman dead! Seriously, the Payal and Arnav of your story are a match made in heaven!

I hope after this incident Khushi ka crush Arnav ke liye crush ho gaya ho 😡, especially now that they would be in the same college.

Arnav and Payal I can understand, Divyesh I do not care for but why would Lavanya and Aakash directed police to Khushi? They at least at the decency to be apologetic But the sensitive soul that Khushi is, she got affected by this news badly 😔

In sab se toh Aman achcha, he tried to mend his rough relationship with Khushi before leaving.

I have ranted a lot for today. See you tomorrow 😊

PS: Are you a Ms. Baig? The way you talk about organization of sports related activities gives that impression 😛


Saiyyu, I came looking for new update and your beautiful comments made up for the disappointment..keep them coming..am loving to read your perspective

Again, you managed to leave me speechless after you updated. Your ability to describe all the people, their quirks, the settings is just fabulous, and I'm enjoying every bit of it with along with the well-timed sense of humor and the suspense behind all the characters.

I literally laughed out loud when HP was displeased about the family gathering and having fun without his Didi😆 Honestly, I loved the way you have given his character a back story and that you have kept such a side character so interesting! And what on earth does he mean when he thought that his Didi would have her hands full with that Chandni Chowk girl😲 What does HP know that we don't.

Coincidence much that Poonam went to London and now Aman, who is presumably in there as well, is set to return to India?? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but where Poonam Raizada is concerned, there are endless possibilities of what she's capable of.

And Poonam Raizada made Khushi leave college What is all that about? Ugh, I hate the rich and entitled upper class who make sure to ruin the lives of people who they deem are below them. One of the things you have highlighted since the beginning is the difference in social classes, and it's definitely very realistic how you have done it. And Khushi definitely has gotten to know Poonam Raizada (poor girl!) if she can tell that Anjali reminded her of her mom!

Anjali seems like a sweetheart. I love the relationship she shares with Arnav. I'm actually looking forward to finding out more about Arjun as well - he intrigues me even though we don't know much about him. And also I'm looking forward to finding out more about Arnav's dad - maybe it will give us an insight of what happened with him and Khushi all those years back!

NK and Payal seem more like a couple with their constant bickering than Payal and Arnav, who seem to share a very platonic friendship😕 It's very telling that their relationship isn't so much romantic when Payal wants bothArnav and NK to have some fun with her as she gets a break from the political scene.

Duty before Beauty😆😆😆 Definitely the cheesiest line ever! I am more curious now about Lavanya's fiance now.

I like Akash - he seems like he plays fairly for all his friends. Although he's quirky (The pm was hilarious), he seems to have a good heart and it definitely showed when he didn't reveal what Khushi's so busy with (though I'm literally dying to know what's going on in Khushi's life - she's such an enigma!). I believe Akash when he says he's just friends with Khushi just as he is just friends with Lavanya. I'm actually really excited for his meeting with Arnav - will he come to know that Arnav has more than just a passing interest in Khushi and how will he react to that??

Payal thought Arnav had a Khushi complex, but he definitely is interested in Khushi more than he can even comprehend at this point. The fact that he's constantly thinking about her, wanting to meet with Akash and can actually decipher her mood through a phone call shows as much. That was really sweet of him to call Khushi and give her a heads up.

Khushi continues to be an enigma. Is she trying to reapply to college? Why after so many years? Where are her parents now? Where did Aarav come from and where are his parents? I can sense so much sadness and loneliness from her end, and with her now randomly seeing all those new-ons, it must add to her woes for sure. I can only hope that Aman doesn't back to haunt her in any way.

With every new update, I'm left with more questions than with answers!!!! You're doing such a fabulous job with this story that I can't wait for more of these updates! Sorry for all the rambling, just goes to show how excited I get when it comes to this SS😃

wow!! I totally am loving this!! What a different take! And you write just simply wonderfully!! There is such a wonderful feel when I read these updates!! I finished these in one go and so waiting for the next update!!
I am intrigued as to what happened b/w Poonam and Khushi as well as Lavanya and Khushi.. Whether Akash actually feels romantically towards Khushi or would he end up with Payal despite that seeming pretty impossible right now..
And most of all wondering how the relationship b/w ArShi will progress with things as they are now..

You are a FABULOUS writer!! 😃

i got this link from Sanaya's appreciation thread and i am so glad that i checked it out!
What a fabulous writer you are. and the story is so intriguing i have a million questions that i need answers to right now!!!! please update quickly and PM me if you are.
i love the title of the story it conjures up images of the raj and as a non-Indian (who is quite ignorant of India and it's culture -sorry!) i find the images so exotic!
i love the characters in your story and i especially love Kushi (i gather this is from the tv show IPK that Sanaya and Barun did? i've never watched any indian shows.) Kushi is afraid but not fearful and i really want to know what happened with Arnav and her that years later he is still bothered about it. it's too bad that he does not find her attractive or does he and you haven't told us yet? i mean he can't stop thinking about her but it is implied that's because of what he did in the past. and i want to know now what? what? what?
thanks for a fabulous read.

Chapter 3:


"Gotta appreciate that politics is in her blood after all", "play ladoo delivery boy", "Raj Malhotraesque", "carefully cultivated nouveau frumpiness of Fab India", "this might be the first time you might have done something that deserves my respect" and some other lines in this chapter made me laugh at the sarcasm at play 👍🏼

Before I begin, I love NK and I am curious college? What college for Khushi? She must have finished it ages back...

In this chapter you covered both the background of how Khushi got T&S and how Poonam Raizada functions. I love this about your writing. This rich detailing of a different time and a particular business and this creation of distinctive characters and then the careful analysis of the same... It just doesnt requite research. It requires a natural bent of one's mind to imbibe all of this info with flair into the writing. I salute you!

Poonam Raizada doesnt like Payal because she is overbearing. The little description of Poonam makes me feel even she is overbearing. In your own words, "Very pot. Much kettle" 😛

Parents love their children but loving them doenst mean loving themselves or their egos any less. Parents cry with you for your failures and celebrate your successes but when you succeed in something they wanted you to fail in, they reach this state of limbo between sorrow and joy. It is oh SO common!

Poonam feels Payal's political roots will affect ARE. Arnav doesnt think it will affect RD. Let's see who wins.

Poonam for all the success and independence she has achieved at work has her own inexplicable quirks, doesnt she? 😆 Instead of straying from the expected route of defiance, when Arnav actually picked a girl for marriage who fits the bill to be a Raizada bahu, she isnt really happy.

Well, if Arnav had brought Khushi, she would have defo not approved of her I am sure. But to think of the future, just imagine... has handling T&S given Khushi enough training and nerve to work at ARE?? Sochey ka padi.

Someone recently told me that the best way to get gossip is to contact the househelp but what would HP know when in the background Arnav has barely met Khushi again? Hmmm

But Poonam is one smart woman. The fire didnt ignite yet and she could already smell the smoke 😲 Wow! 👏

Wah zulfein khooli aur first rabba ve happened Well not exactly a rabba ve but he noticed and it counts. Bas! 😛

Khushi has matured so much. How have tables turned! First Arnav didnt care when Khushi was around him and now Khushi cannot care less.

Naah classism is still very much a part of him. The prologue made it quite clear. Now I want to see how Arnav will overcome his ingrained classism, an overbearing fiance, an officious mother and the resistance that Khushi has strongly put up... coz Arnav has decided okay isnt enough anymore...

Edited to add:

Anyone who would know even a little of Arnav Payal relationship would sigh dreamily thinking of them to be childhood sweethearts. They are of course not that and I wonder is there more to their alliance. There is certainly no passion (do they even kiss?). no love, no sense of deep companionship. What is their deal then?

Edited again to add:

Lavanya really didnt learn to lose well. Now what slight did Khushi do to make Lavanya say spiteful words and end her friendship with Khushi??? You are seriously keeping me hooked with all the questions and mysteries

Notes from the Past: 4


Yeh Payal zaroor bachcpan main Gullu bhaiyaa ki god main kheli hogi. Both give me the same vibes. Anyways...

Strange that the anonymity that Khushi craved for in school but her uniform didnt give, the casual clothes of college did...

How easily does Arnav take slight? What did Arnav expect Khushi to do on the day of their orientation? Hug him and chat like old friends after the Aman incident in school? My question is why? Arnav ko kya farak padta hain if Khushi sits besides him or not, talks to him or not (I have a feeling he avoided her after the orientation incident), accepts lifts from him or not or... or cries after not getting an A in EVS? Now it makes me question, did he kinda like her? No. Not in a romantic sense but in a very teenage-interest kind of a way? That is why Payal was 'checking out' Khushi to understand what Arnav saw in Khushi and helped her with job? To Khushi's job later...

Preeto Kaur another color to your rainbow of characters... I knew of a girl in my FY junior college who was popular right from the start for having scored a percentage for science and yet had taken arts. She was the most promising student who never fulfilled her promise *shrugs shoulders* So, people around her arent good enough. They are champoo or chipkoo and guys are good enough to be slapped but not to be made worthy boyfriends of... She reminds me a little of Payal. Just that Payal isnt a hypocrite. As long as Preeto was a true friend or at least a good companion for Khushi in college, I have no issues.

Wait! I know a guy and gal can be friends but blame this Preeto for the idea. Aakash tried to reach out to Khushi and made efforts to keep in touch with her even after school. He also helped her with the part time job idea. Did he like her??? 😲 Again, I repeat: Aakash Arnav Khushi ki kahani YellowBoots ki zubaani 😆 Btw, I am sure it was Arnav whom Aakash approached to get Khushi a well paying, relatively easy, comfortable timiingswala job. And only in my last comment I was talking of Khushi working for ARE in the future when she has already done it in the past! But what a disaster even that was! I dont think Raizada Sr. passed away since you have mentioned Anjali saying that she wanted both her parents to visit her home for the pooja... But he must have suffered a stroke or something... Bichari Khushi... First Aman and now this. Dont tell me Arnav blamed her again... 😡

And apart from my comment, the additional things I liked about your update:

I too had befriended all the Harsh Narains in college library. Karna pada tha. I wanted the books damn it!

I like how you add info about every character you write about ;Mrs. Basu the EVS teacher whose student was Khushi, Singh sir and his bearing, Anu ma'am and every supervisor's right to disturb their subordinates... 👍🏼

Also, thank you for throwing light on the Mallik Raizada relationship strain, though it doesnt explain the Arnav and Aakash distance from each other
