Lashy... where did you get this pic of Paridhi's from? So very beautiful and perfect for this chapter!! 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️

Arre I made it...

I was pinching myself to see it was Jhanus review firsht firsht... woh bhi 110% glowing like Santoor soap skin😆🤗, tho I was dancing

Chapter 6 - An emotional and intriguing chapter Lashy. Mahendar's plight was truly heart-wrenching and it reminded me of the battle Durga held for her life and the last line you wrote for her..

What a promising life has thus been wasted!!

Hmm!! Hope Mahendar finds solace in revenge, though not sure if it is ever possible!!
He, being a small prince and fighting/winning over the future Emperor and his barbarous men... I don't know if it is possible and even if he did.. I'm unsure of him achieving the real solace!! Hope time heals his wounds.. and since this is fiction I'm requesting our dear author to please be kind to Kunwarsa and make him meet another Durga-like 😳😆

Hmmm

Moving on to my favorite part - Heera

🤗🤗🤗 This chapter, I felt her thoughts and actions best portrayed the real Heera - the one whom Durga lauded - Brain is your weapon.

Because this chapter covered a day AFTER she snapped into near-normalcy... also, it covered an entire day... a fresh day after things had settled down a bit...

chapter 4 and 5 in reality time only covered about 3-4 hours with a lot of things happening (attack, lack of water, urgent need of residence, coincidence with stranger etc etc) but it was those things that caused transition from corpse Heera to human Heera

Every sentence you wrote about her asserted her canny brains... I especially liked her question to Bindiya about the look of stables.. How wisely put Lashy!! 👏👏👏

Oh thank you... don't know why I took longest to write that scene... edited it about 100 times... now worth it, though

Her talks to Jiji, her enquiry on Akbar, letter to Mahender.. every bit of it perfectly elevated her character!!
Thank you😳
And then comes the saffron pilaf.. 😆 After reading the food-tester's expressions and when Maharaj asked if its poisoned, I was like - Poison might have tasted better. Poor Parnagarhis 😆
😆
Best parts of the chapter for me - Return of 4 dams and topaz ring. I'm curious to know Akbar's reasons for returning money and more than curious to know when and how is he compelled to look back at HAZEL ring 😉 once again!!
Why do you think he returned the money 😉

My fav. line -
Of course, emeralds and sapphires were costlier, but they were also flamboyant and common - two traits he didn't care for.

In one sentence you depicted Akbar's character and also gave the reasons why he'd fall for Heera in course of time - Non-flamboyant and Uncommon!! And I associate cost with Royalty here... Had he desired he can get hooked with costlier rings/royal women but he prefers exquisite, unique pieces/unique girl.. cost/royalty doesn't matter him ... am I correct? 😉
you're not wrong😉... but as you say, it's obvious in prologue itself... that he's that type-a-guy

Right now most of the reader's eyes should be like Heera's -
the 'look' they had, when she was faced with an unsolved puzzle that baffled her!

Awww 😳

On a side note, only our heroines will get all sorts of magical looks...

if I haven't slept for a week, I will be grouchier than the canadian grizzly bear 😆

Because there are too many conundrums to be unfolded.. Akbar's stories of past, his royal connections, his warrior-like skills, his aloofness,

Hmmm amma Jhanu... adhika asalu kaligi ledu 😆

That's it.. I'm getting the dandaa on my santoor skin now!

last but not the least... Ustaad!!
Who's this man who trains Shehzaade's men and why is he mentioned? 😆
They are an organised gang of depraved barbarians, he's saying... you have to be depraved if you have a master, general, men, a teacher, a water boy... everyone 😆

Liked and enjoyed this chapter thoroughly Lashy... and the exact feeling I had at end of it is - Wish this is a bound novel in my hands so that I can sit back and read with freshly fried corn!! 😉

Freshly fried corn

Hmmm I imagine myself and Jhanu

Jhanu after some fried corn

Myself after some fried corn

Not my fault.. its raining here and our Khan sahib is too puzzling to wait for many more Sundays . Love ya... 🤗

Awww love you too
