Today is 20th right ? and the update is 3 days after today right?
By then I will be back home from my business trip- will eagerly wait for it

Hi Mirabell,

Sorry for late comment! To tell you the truth, I read the update the very next day you posted it and penned down my comment too, but unfortunately lost it to "copy and paste" error and then I lost myself to AD, deadlines and deliverables.

I am an out and out tea person but I can ditch tea any day for an authentic filter coffee. And no kidding twice in a day I, craved for a filter coffee. First, one of the food bloggers I, follow posted recipe for "Kumbakonam Degree Coffee" and second your update. It almost made me want to drive "Saravana Bhavan" which is good 4 hours away from where I live. And Manorama reminds me of a dear friend who is also a "Madrasi through and through" when it comes to her filter coffee. She literally carries and drinks her coffee in a steel tumbler during her drive to work. So, a steel tumbler is like a signature in her car's cup holder.

There is something very "madhur" about "Mathura" and I can feel the energy too, in this house.

Sumitra, Nandini and Manorama are such strong pillars. Each one of them exudes strength, even though they lost their loved ones and fate never gave them time to grieve or chance to recover from the loss.

Absolutely loved reading about Arnav, Meera and Mohan's interactions. These three are form a world of their own and bond so well. Arnav is really determined to win this war he declared and is slowly succeeding too. He is able to bring down the shields Khushi has around her.

You are doing such a fine job of weaving this story, which defines truly defines LIFE.

I was watching "Rabbit Hole" few days ago and it reminded me of your story. It's about a couple whose son dies and how they deal (or can't deal) with the loss. Brilliant movie! Do watch it if you get a chance. The following lines just touched my heart and are stuck with me and I wanted to share with you.

It's a convo between daughter (Becca), who lost her son and Mother (Nat), who lost her son too.

Becca: Does it ever go away?

Nat: No, I don't think it does. Not for me, it hasn't - has gone on for eleven years. But it changes though.

Becca: How?

Nat: I don't know... the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and... carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you... you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is. Oh right, that. Which could be aweful - not all the time. It's kinda...

[deep breath]

Nat: not that you'd like it exactly, but it's what you've got instead of your son. So, you carry it around. And uh... it doesn't go away. Which is...

Becca: Which is what?

Nat: Fine, actually.
