My dear Richa,
I'm really sorry for getting back to you so late. I hope you will overlook and forgive my tardiness.
To say that I loved your OS would be an understatement of epic proportions but I'm afraid the English language has no other higher accolade to offer and to I must settle for the world love! The insight that you gave us into Prinku's character was beyond amazing. What a wonder it was to be finally able to feel and acknowledge all her shades. The whites, the blacks and yes, the grey's.
What I loved the most though was the fact that you made her human, selfishly so. For don't we all want to be loved with our sins and imperfections? Don't we all thirst for that one someone who will think that we are perfectly imperfect? It's a human need, isn't it? One that doesn't go away no matter how you may wish for it to do so.
And your Ranveer. Dear say, I liked him too. For he was right. Love without respect, without honor, without sacrifice is a meaningless, selfish emotion that just takes without giving anything back. It's a black hole that sucks away at everything.
But ultimately, what I loved the most about your OS was the fact that she made the decision to go to prison for herself. For her own salvation. Because had she done it just for her brother or even just for Ranveer, she would have turned bitter and resentful in the years to come. But the fact that she made this decision to save herself will keep her going. Human will reaches the heights of resilience only when your own survival is at stake. And so Prinku will be able to move on now.
However, curious, isn't it? That she freed herself by going to prison but imprisoned him forever by freeing herself? The ways of love are too weird to behold...
Thank you for writing this gem. It both, unraveled and mended me, all the same time.
Lots of Love,
A.C.
