Just finished reading your Careless Whispers. Its so awesome. Loved the way you described how Khushi fell in love with Arnav close to the time they met. How she tried to stop herself from falling in love but couldn't... I loved how Arnav could feel a strong bond with Khushi even at that a time when Lavanya was in a coma and he still loved her. His dilemma at that time and even during the 3 years of their seperation was so palpable. And then of course, even in Goa when Arnav and Khushi finally got together, he still was feeling guilty that he was cheating Lavanya's memory. And finally Arnav and Khushi's love for each other overcame all hurdles in a gratifying way! It was an amazing journey!
I liked how you brought forward some important social issues like homosexuality. It is indeed really sad and cruel how society ostracizes and makes fun of homosexuals. I love how you showed how NK and Gaurav deserve the love and companionship just as other heterosexual couples. I hate how media and the entertainment industry usually thinks its ok to joke about homosexuals and their sexual preferences.
Last but not the least, I loved the other characters in your story as well. I loved NK, Aditi, Aman and Shyam specifically. The friendships between Arnav-Shyam, Khushi-Aditi and Khushi-NK was heart-warming. Such friends indeed make life so much more bearable and fun.
Now I have to go and read your other ongoing works as well. And thanks for opening your blog so that I could read such a beautiful story!
