Anand mentioned about it to his sister in law, the whole situation about how they had wronged khushi. She's NK mother right? Forgive me if i don't remember that correctly. And NK did mention that he should probably talk to his mother, so I guess from her.

Yes Anand mentioned to NK's mother.

I missed Akash....The way you written everyone's perspective is wonderful

Memories taaja ho gayi.

I got few jeans stitched in Delhi which became an instant hit in the place I am living now. I miss Chow Mein, samosas, yogurt set in mud pots and shopping at various places for different things.

The mere mention of those name are making me feel nostalgic about my life in Delhi. Thank you!

You are right, we seldom visit the tourist spots in the place where we live.

Coming back to the story,

So, Mihir Gupta has been blackmailing Anand Raizada and it seems no one knows about it. With all the past actions which caused pain and trouble to his family, he does not want to stress them anymore. With Cancer catching up, he should share the information with someone. Akash thought of sharing the information with Arnav. I believe he has not done that yet.

Anjali can't be more direct at the lunch date with family. All her comments points towards Arnav and Khushi. Did the family understand? I guess they did.

Arnav and Khushi have crossed a barrier and both were looking forward to the next meeting. Finally they made it to India Gate with hand in hand and a photo for a proof. It is better Akash makes his move on Payal.

NK and Preeti are the sweetest. They are happy for Arnav and Khushi.

Lovely update.

Cheers........

Hello All, I am back with a note and update.

The cyclone was as anti-climactic as Khushi and Poonm’s meeting. There was some breeze, a few things fell off the windowsill, a spot of rain, and then it was gone. But all in all, a good thing. To quote Geet from Jab We Met, Bas Babaji ab life boring bana do.

The neighbors with COVID are back home After being cured, and all seem to be well in our little apartment. So that is one lesser thing to feel anxious about. The husband continues to hoard compulsively though. We now have 6 packets of pasta. I kid you not.

Now on to this update, and wanted to address a few things:

1. I had originally wanted to write this part from everyone’s perspective. But then decided against it because I didn’t want to finish the story in this chapter itself! So you may or may not have noticed, that other than Arnav and Khushi, all others you only see one side of the story – so Anjali, Payal, Lavanya, Poonam, and Aman are not heard here, but they will be, after the next 3 posts.

2. I know that I use a fair bit of Hindi in the story, mostly for dialogue and a few readers have asked for translations. While I am okay having translations on the side, but would it make it very cluttered for readers I don’t know. I am not sure if it will compromise the reading experience in any manner. And in some situations, in the story I feel Hindi is important, like when Khushi is speaking with her family or Preeto. But going forward I will try to use very little Hindi, so that the story is accessible to more readers!

3. On the songs that I used here. They are all retro songs, so I am unsure if many were familiar with it at all. Reading some comments, I realized that many are not familiar with the songs. I would say, go and check them out on YT – many of these are written by Gulzar, so the level of imagery in some of them are stunning! This is my go to playlist when the cabin fever gets out of control

4. As part of the “research” for this story I have searched for strange things. Like for example what should be the consistency of sugar syrup for making kalakands, etc. But by far the strangest search I have done so far was to try and figure out what could be Khushi’s waist size. So, I had to look up Sanaya Irani’s body measurements on Google (there is surprising amount of information on this subject btw, I am not sure if it is accurate)

5. I am going to post the next chapter at some point. Since at this point, I have not written a single word of it, so I don’t want to commit anything. I will get back when the structure firms up inside my head. I am planning to write two more chapters and post the very last “Notes from the Past” after that.

6. I am posting on Wattpad, but I just post there and don’t really explore the platform much. I intend to this weekend. Thank you to everyone reading here, there, whatever works for you.

7. The husband who reads my drafts believes that Arjoon Bose is based on him! Therefore, I decided to fire him from his job in this update – not husband, but Arjoon. Obviously kidding.

Cheers,

Radhika

Thank you, Radhika for the update. Khushi and Arnav are now 'dating' though Arnav keeps cancelling them as he has something more urgent. But Khushi seems to be ok with that and is happy walking around near India Gate.

I am clueless about Punam and Akash. Akash keeps asking Arnav about Payal but does not call her himself.

Mihir Gupta is blackmailing Aranav's father. But why Sr, Raizada is allowing Mihir to blackmail him. He is also suffering from advance stage cancer but has not told his family.

Shyam is working with Poonam to expose Mihir Gupta but will that also expose that he was blackmailing her husband.

Interesting update.

Reading your notes is equally enjoyable, just as reading your story. Thanks for the note.

So glad to know that the cyclone fizzled out. No, the Khushi/poonam meet had more oomph😆

I love the playlist you posted, have listened to it many a time.

Personal opinion: you should write the way you have been doing so far, English, Hindi. Maybe some of the readers could do the translation for those who don't understand.

And please tell husband that i had fired him long back for making that "Chetana" remark!

Glad you all were spared the weather wrath. My 2 cents write the way you have written and not change it...it is part of the experience of reading Tewari 😊

One question we have 2 more chapters, one final note and then the last final chapter is it
