Res. -- a moment to gather my thoughts ..

Undeniably you captured Anjalis life in this OS ..her life was not a stranger to angst, heartbreak or tragedy .. Yet still she looked for the postivity in life and infused, tiresomelythe same into her chotays life.. Her role as a sister was the one true constant in her life ..

Life may have failed her many a time but she never failed life .. Her kindness to all was rewarded today by a stranger ..such is life ..

Anjali has been the most neglected character ...

She has always been known as a dutiful grand daughter ... a loving sister ...

a dedicated wife ...

But when things went bad between her and Shyam no one really gave much thought

to the grief she must have gone through ... to realise that your relationship with your

husband was just a farce can be very demoralising ...

It can be so bad that all you see is grey around you ...

It took complete strangers to make her realise that the good in the world is yet there ...

Ruchi ... you have written her emotions so well ...

A beautifully written piece! Sometimes it is easier to express bottled up grief in front of strangers than loved ones. A small smile from the stranger is all that is needed. :)

Loved the way the words come together to convey that sombre perfect emotions...written beautifully. I have been a recipient of similar kind gestures from people o don't know; I aspire to give back as much as I can.

Ruchi di,

When I click the link, the first thing I notice is the dp, it is quite distracting, always tempts me to figure out which episode/scene it is from. Thank you for the PM. 😊

Jigs ji, the banner is beautiful, a lot is conveyed even before beginning to read. Captivates the readers instantly.

The comments that follow, one - 👏 and two, makes me realize that I couldn't express my thoughts with words, I am not good with them. Hence here is what I feel after reading your precious thoughts penned down,

Imagining this to be your OS, it was breath-takingly as beautiful, if not, even more,

This is us, the readers, falling in love with your words, utterly mesmerized!

Oh my!!! 👏👏👏

How I wish they have handled Anjali's story in the show as delicately as you have handled it with so much of insight and compassion instead of she just burned down a few mementos and moved on...

Maybe it was in response to the remnants of the one still on my face, but that smile completely changed his grim countenance. Lighting up his face and giving me a fleeting glimpse of a person far removed from the one I thought he was. How easily we make snap judgements. What ravages has life inflicted on him? Was it loneliness that made him grim? Did I help in cheering him up, albeit momentarily? I feel a strange sense of satisfaction at that last thought.

There is kindness. Instinctive kindness. Of strangers. For strangers. For no reason other than because they can. Be kind.

After these above revelations anything I write will be mere words... Just want to let you know that I read it and enjoyed it and still processing it!

Beautifully written and wonderful to read!

And the banner perfectly complements the tone of what this writing make a reader feels. Way to go Jigs!

That was so beautiful Ruchi. The mood and tone you set for describing Anjali's innermost feelings, the scars that have marred her beautiful soul and the hurt and pain she has been braving through it all... was just perfect. Sometimes a strangers gesture of kindness reminds us of the contrasting cruel behaviour of our loved one. It is like a wake-up call... and that is probably what everyone needs to move on.
