AT LAST! Here it is, your post! I wanted to get to it once more before you speeded up your Niobe act, and channelled all the excess water in Chennai to the IF!😉

I love it, but that is nothing new, is it? My supplementary comments are in blue, as usual.

No, Shagun, I like it. I have just the one son, and no daughter, so I love having so many nieces here, and I enjoy it when you chatter on and on!

I am from North India myself, Aunty. I know the use of the term very well. Beta is ofcourse used for me by my parents or grandparents, and others. Its just that they either call me Shagun, or only beta...but never both together...😆

I loved it that you used such a cute term for me, Thank you, Aunty. And, sorry for being such a chatter box. 😛 I know Aunty, that by now, you must've been pissed off by my constant faltu talks. That is why, There's this for you...🤗

Now this is beginning to feel like old times, when at least half a dozen young ladies would be weeping all over my pages😉

Very soon,my dear Ashwinee, in fact as soon I have had my lunch. I have just finished replying to Sandhya and your post is next!

That, my dear Shagun, is because there are so many of us! Aunty and Jalal are in the same boat. Just as Jalal has to specify which begum Aunty has to indicate which beta 😉😃

My dear Ashwinee,

What an affectionate child you are! Thank you for being there, my dear, and thank you also for the very warm things you have said about my posts. You have praised them abundantly and extravagantly, to borrow a phrase from Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's last will and testament to the people of India, and though I am not sure it is truly well deserved, I am grateful for it.

In this particular post I was personally pleased with two things, besides of course all the fooling around at the very end, which I enjoyed writing!

The first is part 3 of the post, The darkness descends. I took more trouble over it than I normally do, and I was pleased with the end product.The second is the explanation of the title of part 2, The turning of the tide. That came out well, if I say so myself!

The steroid pills have been phased out. I am not a pessimist, rather a realist. So I can see that the pain in the fingers, especially in my right thumb, has started creeping back. I am waiting to see how and at what level it plateaus That is the vital point. Fingers crossed!

Dearest Shyamala Aunty,

What a lovely piece of writing - this and the previous one too. No matter what we, your hardcore regulars, individually feel about the CVs, the reel Jalal and Jodha, the story, the script, the dialogues, the pillars or the posts (not the forum ones, well those too but here I meant of Agra or Amer), we are all of us, without exception, unanimous in our love of your writing, your way of analysing and the minutiae with which you bring the scenes and the characters alive. Your threads do bring and bind us together and for this I personally will feel eternally grateful to Balaji, Ekta, Jodha Akbar, even the CVs. 😃 Thank you! I am not saying goodbye or anything like that but just wanted to say this because the content of your posts is so thought provoking and the comments on them equally so that I often get distracted from saying this aloud.

I am having great fun (intellectual and plain akhada watching kind😛 in equal measure) reading this and the previous thread. As usual I am a thread and a half late and most have said anything that I could have said and more.

Sandhya, Adiana, Khushi, Sri, Lavanya, Donjas, Devki, Preeti, Sarswathi aunty, Zanna, Khalesi, Shagun, Bindu - great stuff! Thank you!

Aunty, are we already at the end of the steroid treatment? Has the weaning started? I hope you are not overtaxing your fingers and wish with all my heart that the pain remains if not away at least manageable.
🤗
Warmest Regards
Ashwinee

My dear Kutty,

A big, big 🤗🤗 from me for having rushed so promptly my defence! It was very sweet of you, and I loved it. It made me feel nice and cosy and looked after!

What was being commented on there - and I agree that the comment was neither valid not felicitously phrased - was not this post, but the whole bunch of comments and responses, from me and some others, on whether Jodha Akbar lived up to its being hyped as an epic story, and then of course the flurry of messages from Chennai about some young friends of mine trying to get together there.

I have responded to it, though it was not addressed to me, on page 12, as an open letter. Do take a look at it. I do not let my temper get frayed for such little contretemps; it is best to be collected and reasonable. But as a response, the last sentence in your mail here was priceless!🤗

Of course I shall continue to write as I have always done, Kutty, and I hope you will be with me on my threads so long as my rheumatoid arthritis, which seems to be affecting my hands the most, lets me. But what would please me especially would be for you to post some comments, and above all some of your wisecracks, as you used to do in the PR forum. That was only 3 years ago, but how long off it seems! I always enjoyed them, and would love to see them again. Yes of course I remembered you; I would never forget someone whose sense of humour matched mine, and often was much better than mine!

In this post, I hope you enjoyed the very last part about Jalal and Mohan.

Thank you for posting exactly what I felt after reading a certain comment.. I was rather appalled that it made me break my stealth lurking to post my 2 cents worth..

I am just a simpleton who loves aunty's witty or should I say, naughty swipe at some of the characters... Let it be the kanha and his earplugs or the heartfelt petition from the overused yellow joda to shahenshah.. I vaguely remember reading abt Bhagwan das and Salima being sibling due to their emotionless expression.. 😆 It's post like this that crack me up...

To Aunty,
I am humbled that you still remembers i posted just once years back i shared and enjoy your wicked sense of humor and you kept that in your mind till now and PM me recently that you are back from sabbatical.

You do not have to mind those rude comments.. We love your posts. I think poor jodha gets too much flak from you... But that is my own view.. I have never once posted saying i don't agree or impose my own view.. That's because I am not really that invested in the characters that i feel the need to defend them. I felt the need to say something in defend u today.. 😳 Not that u need it.. I am sure u gave a fitting reply.

You keep posting the way you always do.. Don't have to let other dictate or curb your your replies.

To whom it may concern...
So people are chatty in the thread, gushing over Akdha, or lamenting why the plot fall so flat... It's their View... For u it may be lack of creativity.. For me.. You lack sensitivity and tolerance.. Peace.
