fantastically written story...
the title got me a intrigued a lot -- initially i thot it was the maneet version of some jodha akbar story - Parijat -- since the leads there are Paridhi and Rajat there are a lot of stories with Parijat as titles -- i apologise for jumping to conclusion there not even sure if you follow that forum😳 ... the second thing was "Desideratum" - i really thought that it was a made up word -- its when i read the first line that i knew that is actually is a word ... I don't even remember reading that work while preparing for my GRE 😳😳😳
about the story loved it... i was in my office wen i started reading it... dint have much work and was waiting to finish off my hours -- thats when i thought of looking up a short story in IF to pass my time and found your story -- Trust me havent done this ever -- but i worked overtime to finish your story -- loved it!!!
Maan and Geet here are so passionate -- the poem and the description of Maan and Geets feelings after the poem are awesome... the loved the whole jhooti mangetar version here -- Maan did trick her to become his fiance... loved the whole story but specially loved the part where he describes Geets character and personality giving examples from his life and then asking Geet if she would find a guy as caring as him - as he loves and cares for her... each instance that he mentioned was sooo touching --- Geet should have got the clue there that she is his Parijat and that why Shefali became Shef the day he found out the meaning because for him theres only one Parijat - his GEET😃... the banana thing was so adorable had i got such note written on a banana i would have left the exam to find a preservative that would have kept the banana and the note intact till eternity...😆😆😆
All in all fantastic story and just loved this one - line ---- "Kiss me again darling to show me that this is not a dream or kill me right now if you are nothing but a fever induced dream" that was the first line i read since i was just scrolling down to see how big the story is and found that in bold... very well written... Please continue soon... (this story and if possible the others too)😉
