Gehraiyan: New Thread Link Posted Page 141 - Page 101

And thanks for the PM, missed it :).

Oh Z (clutches heart dramatically)

I'm sitting on top of the world right now...

It's no secret that my readers for this story are a small group but honestly, I would not trade a single one of you. Your comments mean so much to me and I want to sincerely thank you all for making this story what it is.

beautiful update.

geet's loneliness, restlessness, everything has been beautifully portrayed.👏

at first i didn't get the second part so i read it again and then i understood it was maan and geet and maan was drawing her picture. this whole second part is dreamlike state means as if this thing has not really happened, its a dream not a reality. awesome.

waiting for the next update.

Writing this chapter, I myself was in a dream like state. Credit to the essence of Maan, Geet and the soul of their relationship... they make it all so effortless.

Thank you, Madhu, I'm really glad you liked it.

Lovely music selection...

Dil mein jaage bholi bhali Manmarziyan.

Fits Geet exactly..

The beginning described perfectly .. herself In coordination with nature.. cold seeking warmth

It was just nice to feel...

This sentence made me think of how much she shuts herself from things and here she finally feels a sense of home.

It was amazing how many things you can survive and yet fall trap to inconsequential things...👏👏

Wonderful depth in that statement. The things that we survive are mostly outside us and the things that bring us down are mostly within, I have always thought.

She misses him.. a life without him is not possible but with him it is difficult too.

I love the frustration Maan had with the drawing.. every thing going smoothly until it came to the eyes. The eyes.. windows to the soul... without her, he does not get them. Once she was there, it all fell into place for him.

The hurt is deep on both ends. A place away from the "inconsequential" is what they both needed.

Do continue soon...

Thanks for updating

P.S.

The update you said you wanted to read... it is stand alone so you can read it without following the rest..

With or without you...and a little Phantom added to the mix😉

Coming from you, Avi, that means a lot. I'm glad the music struck the right chord. I think it can take the credit for the chapter's atmosphere for sure.

"The things that we survive are mostly outside us and the things that bring us down are mostly within, I have always thought."

👏 I can't really add anything to your words. I definitely agree with you. Jealousy, insecurity, pride... I think these are the kind of things that can create more profound distances than the big things life throws at us.
I don't know, suddenly I'm reminded of Meera and Pawan and what happened at first when she finally returned and saw him on the steps with those girls. After everything, there can always be something else...

Really? 😃 I was just wondering earlier whether to read that chapter first and then go back to where I'd left off. With or without you, did you say? :)

Beautiful
Loneliness of geet is put down so intensely just feel like drowning standing with that woman
Strong yet fragile
So haunting

Him drawing & her wondering
👏

The woman really does have that haze of intensity around her. Can't quite lift it, no matter how many times I've tried.

Thank you! Smiling all day because of everyone's comments now :)

in your words :)

After the sleep, at the window, sketching, the eyes, the two of them, and he was gone! Created a spell, left an impact and I think this one was the best :).

Do you know, I actually began blushing when I first read your comment! I'm both happy and humbled and can only hope to continue to entertain :)

Oh Z (clutches heart dramatically)

This update just sends you off into a glimpse of their own private world, a world of intensity, passion, unfulfilled love and everything else which makes them so volatile yet so perfect for each other.

I loved the description of Maan sketching Geet, not being able to pinpoint her eyes... and then the eyes come before him and all is lost in his world...

And Geet herself drowns in the wave of his empowering emotions and they're both falling, and failing, but the connection pulling them closer means they can't ever break free, even if they really really wanted to...

Was it a dream though? Maan's sudden disappearance has left me a little confused... it was certainly written in a dreamlike, mystical state - and hats off to you for that 👏

Thou truly art Queen Z, and its lovely to see you back and writing again. Update jaldi warna no samosa medal for you.

Well if I'm working for a samosa medal, then I'm on it with the update ASAP ;) It is honestly so great to be back and writing. Not to sound like a total spa ad but I feel rejuvenated after writing the last chapter.

Seriously, thank you because I've just thought of a few things for future chapters from your comment. Thou art the coolest, Foz Face. I'm still fawning over the beauty of your comment. You guys always give me beautiful things to read and... well, I like me some beauty 😆

Not a dream this time. Tried to catch a glimpse of the dream world in their real life :)

One thread doesn't deserve this much of thoughts, words, wisdom and 'Gehraiyan' ...

A little too less of a space to write the effects of each verse/chapter!! I think that given time, space and ability to go back in time to every time u had updated I would have loved to essay my comments on every one of those chapters ( a lil bit of help to fill these pages!) But nevertheless I only mention the surprise of this One thread because you deserve so much more of comments,accolades and requests to ask for more !!
There is so much of depth from every title of a chapter to the last words of each that one thread and a few likes is a little disappointing for a reader like me ... I pray that your work flourishes in the eyes of many coz it sure will open many a eyes to rare works of Art from you on here .. however though I have started with a tinge of disappointement which surely isn't my right ! Since the work is yours and so is the feedback ..but I fell in love with this maze of your words that I have followed, as well as nearly all the comments written by others too ..u see they are usually the guides which either reassure my feelings that u evoke through ur words or direct them into a new/different channel of thoughts I hadn't considered... And I can see why u are still on thread one ! ( haha, I'm not letting go off this am I!!) Because every comment is written with so much of meaning, thoughts and feelings that Maine unmain bhi aap hi ki Gehrayoun ka Aks dekha hai ... Aur isiliye I couldn't help but applaude your readers, your work and this beautiful world of words you have made here ... Absolutely mesmerized...
I have taken longer than a day to read this entire ff so far ... And I read it with so much of patience in me ...like I wanted to savour every chapter on its own and try to identify my own thoughts with it ... 'As " ambigoous as they may sound on paper" on here' [partly quoting u here] I hope and kind of know that you would understand me since its your work that has given birth to such thoughts in me to write here to you ...

Finally coming to the story ! Hehee took a long detour to come here ! As I began reading this story I thought that Maan and Geet are standing at the edge of the cliff waiting for that pinnacle moment that 'Ishaara' or that push or pull to end this relation or to save it ...
But Alas, 26 chapters later I have realised that 5years on, from falling in love to the feeling of falling out of it and mourning the loss of losing oneself for the other or rather the loss of those together dreams Maan and Geet are still on the climb ! They haven't reached the mountain top yet ! Just have stopped holding hands to get there ... So one might be lagging behind the other... It's just a matter of time and empty silences that will rekindle the yearning of being together ..of compromising for one another, bending corners, Turning pages...acknowledging the love for another! Again !

Heer Mahira Khan and Abhinav Shukla ...deadly!! Haaye I already like this smoky eyes beauty and this debonaire ... Kya combination hain ... And I mean it with not just their Looks but their personality too ... A glass like dancer with a steel like nerve and an eye candy millionaire with wisdom from the riches and I suppose some sort of talent acumen ! He seems to have a brain but just not co ordinated well with his hasty tongue yet Hahaa ..

And I can't wait for everything that's happening in here to carry on .I'm so glad to be a reader of such a journey that you have so far somehow promised through the Gehraiyaan of the relationships and mesh of love you have shown here ... Thank you for such a read ..I have gotten lost in it for the time being and under its influence I am writin to u now ..I just hope that I make some sense so that u can understand that I have come here to appreciate your work here ...


😳 Mishti I am, apologies to myself for finding this ff after so long and apologies to u for making u read so much of my jibberish in the name of feedback ! Thanks Ji ..waiting for the next as All .

Mishti, I am currently sitting in the very same room I was in about a year ago when I first began writing this story. I had never published anything on a public forum before. I was nervous, happy, giddy and when I finally pressed the 'post reply' button, I couldn't sleep that night due to excitement. I don't think I can ever describe just how it felt when the comments began coming in - I carried around that happiness with me for days and still refer back to it whenever my energy or motivation is lacking. That feeling is my strength.

Reading your comment has given me that same feeling of euphoria. I actually cannot believe anyone can feel this way about my story. I had to walk around a bit to let your comment sink in but I'm pretty sure my feet didn't touch the ground.

I am truly touched by your words. Someone once told me that this story could really help someone, people who knew how it felt to be the characters of this story and for that reason, I would love to see Gehraiyan reach many more people and possibly, touch their hearts too. But if it doesn't, I will have no regrets because every single reader I have had on this journey has meant more to me than a thousand readers. I'm so happy you've read many of their comments; they (and now you, too) are the soul of this story and their discussions are what drives Gehraiyan to new heights - or should that be depths? ;)

Your take on Geet and Maan's relationship is perhaps the best way to summarise their journey so far. They're not in a 'do or die' situation at the top of a cliff... they're still climbing...

I couldn't be prouder of your description of Heer and couldn't have laughed harder at your description of Dev! With the many journeys this story is taking, let's hope one of them leads to the harmony of his mind and mouth 😆

Lastly, hello and welcome aboard, Mishti! I can't thank you enough for your thoughts and encouragement. Today, with your and everyone else's comments, I could not be prouder of the little world of Gehraiyan.

- Zarin

P.S. to all - I will treasure this thread my entire life. It brought more meaning, friendship and happiness than I could ever have imagined.
