I read this fiction in one go. Out of curiosity I read your few other stories of arshi. I can't decide about one story but overall I liked all with few reservations. But there is no doubt about your writing skills. You are really awesome.

After reading so many arshi ffs I noticed one thing about your writing is that you potarya khushi very differently than others. She is more traditional, simple and homely type which I feel is more close to reality of our society. I don't say its bad as its an individual choice. My most favourite was "lessons in love" and "maid mistress & Mrs." But at the time I don't like misconstrued because I felt Arnav Singh Raizada was at fault too. It's very difficult to live with hot headed people. I could feel the other family members which was totally justified. Maybe I can't relate to what u were actually trying to convey to readers. I accept my limitations. I don't remember the names of your two short stories where khushi comes to live with arnav and anjali after her father dies and in a second one where arnav realises how he is becoming exactly what he didn't want in life and have problems in relationships. I loved those two because of their simplicity. They were really so beautiful. A very simple concept and u did a fantastic job of a story writer.

Lessons in love touched my heart as somewhere i could see its reality all around us. But in fiction our hero can recognise his mistakes , repent and changes for better giving us a happy ending. But manytimes reality is far different and cruel. I wish it happens in real.

I just finished bitter sweet and I couldn't comment on some earlier ff I took this chance to put my view before you. Now about this story, I am glad it is finished. The concept and theme was just superb . I totally loved it . it was fresh and unique. It's like a corporate love story. Amazing!!

I was happy to see khushi slightly unusual in the very first chapter .the first chapter was really awesome. But after that I feel little disappointed about the development of khushi's character. Actually it's my feeling that u thought and portrayed something different about khushi in first chapter but later it didnt turn out the way u initially thought. It's my view only, I know this may or may not be the case also. It's actually all about how can a reader connect to the story. So I can't connect and understand the khushi's character somehow. I really hoped to see her in a different way. I wont say that its orthodoxy to have traditional mindset for a today's girl who is working and independent , but it just limited for me. There is nothing wrong in having family values but one should know which one to give priority and importance and when. It's sad to see her in a position working after marriage where as she was just a secretary before her marriage which could be easily connected to the benefits achieved after marrying ASR. She had a chance to prove what she is and what she can but the way she back out was clearly beyond my understanding. I clearly felt the defeat of her character when she came back on her own at the moment when her husband was clearly stating that he won't ask her to return and saying her sorry to him was really a moment when I hated her. Actually as per the plot of the story ASR was totally at fault as he was manipulating everything and everyone the way he wanted and in his favour. Business is not done for charity I agree. But his cunning nature manipulating board members against his own wife , his indifference to his wife's feelings about removing employees ,his threatening khushi to win aarav's custody which clearly states his priority for his son over his wife, his selfishness in wanting khushi to return AR ,his rude treatment to khushi after khushi backed off , all this made me really hate him to the core. It's actually difficult to live with an arrogant and too egoistic person like ASR. Khushi and aarav were really nice. Khushi's desire for becoming mother was understandable but can't be justified for her excuse to give her family a priority over her career. In real world its very difficult to find such a woman nowadays. The real credit goes to sheetal's remarks which played important role to open his eyes but it would have been more appropriate if he could realise his mistakes on his own. Otherwise ifs and buts rule the story . in the end I really didn't get convince about his patch up with khushi with a mere apology and kiss as cracks in ur self respect and dignity are difficult to heal with that only, in reality a woman heals in layers. It's not good or bad about just being a good wife, a good mother, a good daughter in law ,but I think it's just limited and a woman needs grow beyond this mind set as all this things are just a part of your life and not life. In short ASR deserve something more. The last chapters were good and especially last one to see asr's Transformation for better.

I am now reading your colours of compulsion now and this has been really good so far . wish to read more.

I just put my view and I ask your apology if anything offends you.

Wish u the best for all writing endeavours.

I am glad to get your reply. It really means a lot for a reader. Thanks for that.

Interpretation and perception are relative and hence are bound to be limited. But I think it's a writer's success when reader wants to give his reaction.

I would really like to see you bringing different concepts into manifestation as fictional stories and as a arshi fan it would be a treat for us to read more.

All the best.
