Hi, I am back with my second edition of comments. Always feel that there is still something left that I wanted to say. The above bold, so true. When we feel we are right, believe in our stands, something happens to put the scenario in a new light and we are left to question our own beliefs.Noticed that in my earlier comment I mentioned the third part as the second part, wondered how, wanted to correct, then let it be. Because, for me the flow of the pallu merged both parts of past and present. And the same pallu kept flowing in the last part which Arnav managed to catch on to and pull.Reading the other responses to the chapter, everyone ecstatic that he has come back. I wasn't, because I always knew he would be back, it was the question of when and how. Was really happy to read the how, the tug of the pallu, the jaa rahi ho, so IPK, it couldn't have been any other way. 😃So, ASR has been brought home for better security and the family has decided not to talk about the Shyam factor in front of him. Interesting to know where this will lead to.
thanks for second appraisal. 😆. durga, that pallu... you know that bit where past and present connected through it, that i'd designed... but that it would naturally link to him holding the pallu i hadn't thought through... of course, it would, but somehow i hadn't consciously thought of it.
about that in pink... 🤗... ok, you write so you will understand when i say that my husband and daughter's laughing and saying hey wake him up, while funny and cute, had me in a tizzy... i had no idea if it was time... i was feeling my way around the thing. am not a fiction writer... i just go about it instinctively... my planning is not too expert... i felt an awful pressure... i knew in that state he would break barriers, find his mother... a primary heart/life connection that is unresolved, painful... but how would it all come together. then saw farha's edit... felt it... posted on our thread, couple of you said it felt like "without you," and slowly the story started to come together. interesting, this whole process.
fiction is terribly interesting, i really wish i knew how writers think... invent.
yes, he doesn't know about shyam... not yet. let's see what happens.
