All the stories are amazing. It is really difficult to choose just three. Loved these stories very much.
Entry #2 Paani ke Sapne
Comment: Beautifully written. Everyone in the grip of sadness and how these bubbles bring them out of it for them to smile again for little Aisha. Felt bad for Mami. Bulbule are paani ke sapne, wonderful thought.
Entry #5 Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice
Comment: This was a fun read. Payalji, Payalji, the poem was cute, true to Akash's character. Loved the sugary, spicy poem towards the end.
Entry #7 A Trespassing Memory
Comment: This is an unique storyline. Quite gripping. Very well written. I feel someday they will meet again. a la Veer Zaara and Arnav will give back her payal to her. I think this story can be continued once the contest is over.
Entry #8 The Price of Happiness
Comment: Very touching. Loved how Khushi gradually warmed up to little Ayush. This part wonderfully depicted.
Entry #10 Sources of Light
Comment: Loved the way it is written. The terrace scene at the end is beautiful.
Entry #17 The Language of Love
Comment: This was hilarious. I loved it immensely. Bankelal turns out to be not only real but also good looking and with a poetic talent. I must say, at the touch of Bankelal, everybody, i.e. the whole Raizada family became poets. 😆 So, the great ASR himself provides paans and recites poetry towards the end. All lovely poems. My favourite is the enemy-chemistry-victory-history one.
Entry #20 Love is...
Comment: Beautiful love story. And finally, Arnav and Khushi do become friends. Aww, Arnav kept the friendship band all along and gave it to her along with the ring. Loved the storyline.
Entry #24 Eyes Beyond Imperfection...
Comment: This was touching. Arnav's mental state when Khushi passes away, written very aptly. Yes, that's how he would be when Arnav loses Khushi. Loved Arohi's character and her determination to bring her father back to being cheerful wholeheartedly.
Entry #25 P.S. - I Love You
Comment: Beautiful romantic tale. Loved the little treasure hunt. Also, liked the title of the story.
