Hey S,
Belated New year wishes...its almost a month and half late..still...;-)
Did think of you in between when there were no PMs and no activities from your side..wondered how was it going for you...instead of writing to you and poking you thought you would come back in your own sweet time..well that's hope right..and hope pays off...am glad to read the last chapter of book 1 which ended on a sweet note..
Pure bliss..Arnav and Khushi, complete update full of them...in perfect setting (part b). it waas sweet, romantic and full of understanding and tenderness..a promise which hung unspoken between them...isn't that sweet? in real does that happen? I wonder..
part a was pure terror, reminded me of those anxiety attack sessions of mine...how did you write it so convincingly S? I admire your ability for that...the way you wrote Anjali's accident in DND is still vivid in my mind, may be because I had been in such situation,..same way Khushi's panic attack at the temple is another scene which I am not going to forget...
Even though that photographer papparazi worries me... I am very glad that Arnav had been there for her and calmed her in the right way..at that moment, all one need is a comforting hug and soothing words instead of instructions to calm down...
I was thinking earlier before reading this update - along another context - that how difficult it is for a broken person to rebuilt the spirit to a happy and cheerful one and it takes time and great effort...but all it takes is few carelessly thrown words and mindless action to break that spirit by well meaning people...--- Khushi's situation which led to panic attack reminded me of my earlier musing...
However, I should say that I am proud of Khushi for facing her fear..majority doesnt have guts...like Arnav mentioned...oh btw, I like him ;-)
Come back soon again...
