One of my most favorite chapters simply felt the closeness towards a relation building again between Arnav and Khushi.. It's like a new beginning.. Fantastic!

Khushi is Rock Star here .. Hats off to her:)

Kudos to your writing.. It's admirable and amazing!

As always your ending just makes me in awe... To look forward to next!


Thank you for updating...

Hey Radhika
had not been able to comment for last two parts.
Life had been going a little busy and had been feeling a little low lately. But today after reading your update i felt happy. Yeah just like that i was happy. All that acha acha wala feeling. You are telling the story in such a beautiful manner that everytime i read it i can feel the emotions each chapter depicts.
All a khushi has been searching for is the right friend , a friend who understands the unspoken , who takes a look at her face and knows something is amiss, a friend whom she can share the smallest of things. Preeto being a new mother has her limitations. But she is great friend.
But with Arnav its different . Because he is the one the heart has always wanted.
Thankyou ! Its great reading the update. I have said this earlier will repeat again. The apnapan in the story makes me come back here time and again.
I am in love with this story dammit!

Thank you, all (fellow Bengalis and non-Bengalis) for such lovely, lovely comments.

And yes, to the people who asked me what a daaknaam is, it is a nickname that is given to most Bengali children, along with their bhalo naam (formal name).

The best daaknaams have no connection whatsoever to the bhalonaam and should at least be slightly embarrassing.

My daaknaam is Puchki, named thus after the famous puchka (golgappa), because I was a cherubic baby.

I am unsure when I will post the next part, probably end of next weekend because I have a busy work-week ahead.

So I couldn't resist and had to come back and post a few stray thoughts here:

• I am not usually an NK fan (from the show), but your NK I can get on board with.. and he has the whimsiness of the show NK, but written so much better. Amidst all the silly bantering he has with Arnav, they do share a great bond. He is genuinely concerned about his well-being and looks out for him. Can we get a scene where he and Cutie Kumari Gupta meet? Please. All the men treat Khushi with kid gloves, but I don't think NK will.. because he has zero baggage with her & she with him. So we need a scene pronto with the two of them

• I love the parallels that you suggest between Arnav and Khushi's lives. The design company is Arnav's dream and sports is Khushi's. And AR and T&S are both things that they have inherited, almost reluctantly. Though T&S is much smaller compared to AR, the problems they face are similar - there are issues of inheritance, saboteurs and constant drama. Khushi, because she literally comes from the School of Hard Rocks, is able to treat T&S better.. by which I mean, she doesn't overthink as much as Arnav and shrugs and moves on. Khushi as she says to Arnav links T&S so much to her mother, someone she loves that she wants to make something of it. For Arnav too AR is much more about his mother than father. And he does love his mother, and i think that is why he will eventually come through for AR.

• Loved the last part, it was the shortest bit, but there were so many emotions at play. Plus it reminded me of one of my absolute favourite poems

Okay, I will stop now.

I am addicted to this story and your writing style 😊

Like how you are developing the characters of Arnav and Khushi, with all the subtle nuances of relationship. Arnav is weighed by the guilt of how his family or he has wronged Khushi in the past. Friendship/relationship cannot last if it is marred by guilt.

My favorite line of this chapter- Khushi repeated comment to Arnav " now don't say sorry" ( He apologized even for Divyesh innocuous comment to her ! ). She recognizes his remorse, has forgiven him, and is providing a clean slate for this friendship. And it is effective... he jokingly actually offers her a job ( he would never do that before)

Khushi lacks confidence given her past... glad how you are bringing it full circle ... sports is her passion... sports coach in Alchemy ! Like Faisal Bhai... I hope she does something she likes/enjoys outside of chandini chowk

PS: Was good to read "tor dakknaam" after a long time

Your story is amazing. The writing is so vivid you can almost see everything happening in front of you. And the way you've developed all the characters in the story is commendable. Brilliant 👏

Came across this lovely story and read it all in one ago ... Beautiful portrayal of characters ... Hooked on ! Can't wait for more!!

its good to see khushi and arnav opening up to each other... and what was that arnav thinking after droping her at the metro that no reason to say yes but none to say no either.. he had summed up akash and payal's feelings too... I do think they like each other still...

this really is a new chapter in khushi's life after the hair cut I guess... and did I miss what akash wanted to say to khushi about renu bhabhi or what? I think there is something going on with her cuz she had lied to khushi about where she was coming from the other day...
