I would never want you to be dragged down coz of my story Madhu, but if the experience is cathartic, then I'd say it has served it's purpose.😊
Pain and death seems inevitable. When a devotee came running to Ramana Maharishi asking to revive her dead child, he replied he would revive the child if she could find a family that hadn't experienced death.

This shloka from Bhaja Govindam perfectly states our life cycle. Continuous birth and death is all we experience in this world yet cry endlessly when one out of the million other births is gone in front of us. Grief, guilt, anger clouds our mind and blinds our ability to see the big picture. But the question is will we be sane enough to take in the big picture if given a chance? I highly doubt because the human mind is fickle and weak. We cannot even take the "harsh realities" of life thus, its a far-fetched thought to even embrace the Truth of life.
Beautifully put Madhu and so very true. That is why it is called 'the circle of life'
When it comes to our grief, we cocoon it, so very closely. We can't let go that easily. Perhaps, it's becaus,e letting go of the grief, feels like we are abandoning the person who is no longer with us. Don't know what the 'Truth of Life' is, but I am happy on days, I feel I have lived to the fullest and not wasted it.😊
I am going to stop here with my nonsensical talks and get back to your update...
I see absolutely no nonsense anywhere. When did sharing your viewpoint of life become nonsense huh?😕
Guilt always tags along when we lose something big. That nagging "if" and "then" feeling ruins our peace of mind and overtakes your life to the point where it begins to control your physical body. Mind has that power to make or break a person and guilt is the icing on the cake to break a person. Aptly portrayed here with Dev's case.
We all tend to feel guilty to varying extents, given different situations, but it's especaillty true with kids. They suffer from what is called 'omnipotent guilt' the everything that happened, happened coz of me- syndrome. That is exactly what I am trying to show, Dev is going through.
I am not going to lie and tell you I found this chapter much more romantic than any of the "aww" moments I have read about Maaneet. The tender moment between Miri and Maan had just the right emotions. I am hoping for more screen space for Miri and Maan in the future (*HINT HINT)
The romance has not even begun yet. Un dono ko thoda samajhne, samjhane ke liye waqt dijiye, huzoor.😉
As for Maan and Miri they are the easiest for me to write, along with Pari, so you'll see a lot more of those two😃
Thank you Nishaji for turning me into a puddle of goo at the end of this chapter.
I will make sure to give you lot more heart pounding moments from now on, how about that?😉
Thanks Madhu for such an awesome, awesome comment. Makes me feel absolutely humble and in awe.
Thanks Madhu, you izz the best.
