THE LOCKET(3), MG FF, thread 4 link pg1, COMPLETED - Page 69

Avi today for once I want to add something more to my usual line …. I love you as well as this Character Aisha you introduced here.I know its on Aash. I don't know much about her as haven't interacted much with her so my comment here will be based only on what I have read in this part. But I seriously loved Aisha & her dealings here. More on her later.

The song is already one of my all time favourites (have many memories attached to it), & now one more memory added to it. From the day you gave the teaser for this part I have been listening to this & today listening & linking it with the part just completely swept me into a dream world full of hope, love & longing. Each paragraph was so fitting & well amalgamated with the feel of the part & adding up to the level of emotions one would feel while reading along with listening to this song. A beautiful treat to the senses & kudos to you for writing so well that nothing felt out of place & compelled to be in sync with the whole feel. "Ishq kijiye phir samajhiye , zindagi kya cheez hain…" So true that to experience Maan's feelings one needs to know the power & effect of love that I could while reading. Ishq bina zindagi kya cheez hai. Seriously uska 'Haal-e-dil' was so well felt here.

One more thing to the list why I loved this part is inclusion of Juhu beach here. I have so many memories attached to this place. It's my favourite hangout since childhood. Be it going with My Dad during any random day & making sand castles or having a competition on having pani puri. Or me going with my friends after college or bunking college as it was so near to my junior college. I have even gone there just alone to spend time alone & taken major decisions of my life. The way you described the feel of it all felt so real.

Some lines were just so good ….

– "Slight glimmer of light is a precursor of dawn & a new morning, the moment with her was imbedded in his brain" ; " Even a few hundred miles from her, she was all he sought, wanted & thought about". I love the purity of his soul & heart. There's so much of innocence that hasn't been tainted even with all the adversities he has faced & all the responsibilities he has to bear so early in life & face this not so welcoming world quite contrast to the comfort of his mother's embrace. I couldn't agree less to the statement – "Youth has its uncertainties & its nervousness" he is still a youth & teenager who is learning to cope with the world for his loved ones, yet has the apprehensions of losing his love as everyone else he has lost.

I loved Aisha's role here. I could so relate to her, especially her keen observation, something that I usually do. Her simple words & explanations of her dreams, lack of understanding him earlier due to her own obstacles $ lack of knowledge of the said field, apprehensions of not being up to her love's expectations … all showed so much of humility. Her dreams & wishes just portrayed that whoever we are & whatever we achieve somewhere it all starts from a dream & wish. We cling to our dreams whatever they may be as they are our own causing us to strive & struggle for the fulfilment. Just plain words. True, words hold so much of power. True, words hold so much of power & authority. Her words turned the stern & binding professional environment into so much of comfort & ease that teenager like Maan could easily handle & let his talent to be used to the fullest. Her easy mature & bonding led him to be the person that was hidden form all other than his Mom, a person who has youthfulness, teasing & mischievous side in him. All credit to Aisha for bringing this out of him, an otherwise closed & reserved person.

She helped him to make peace with all his restlessness & fears & insecurities regarding his life & love which a teenager like him couldn't see through the haze of confusion & uncertainties of youth. Him witnessing the love between Aisha & her fianc showed him the value of treasuring small moments with your love without being misled from the usual Jing bang of youth so that he can weave dreams of future & Aisha certainly was the best influence he could have. He didn't confess everything but he found a confidante in her. I hope you will show her in future too when Maan becomes MSK, & to help him see through the haze of MU between him & Geet.

Loved it …. Continue soon. 😊
