@lashy di I hope you don't mind me asking this. You said dara's one wrong decision brought his end. What was this decision. ?
@ bindu di me too scared of her reaction
@ shagun I liked ur idea too. Me too thinking dono milte to kya hota?
But not as leads of cource.


Even if Dara had been the emperor in place of Aurangazeb, the Empire would have crumpled... he wasn't an effective general or ruler...

They say he was a bit of a coward... and fled the battlefield when there were 50 50 chances of the battle going either way... he compromised the position of the Rajput generals and others who fought for him...
Had he stood ground and fought bravely... been a better general... he might have won the war... 😊

This is what I got
The outcome of the battle was decided when Dara Shikoh's descended from his Elephant Howdah at the most critical moment of the battle, his elephant then quickly fled from the battlefield. Fleeing elephant was evidence enough for Dara Shikoh's troops who mistook this event to indicate his death. Thousands of Dara Shikohs forces surrendered to Aurangzeb when the Mughal military band of Aurangzeb played the ode of victory. Many more Sepoys and Sowars fled only to take the oath of allegiance to Aurangzeb later on.

Read up on battle of Samugarh

Another interesting Chapter, lashy..👏

The best part for me was their convo-First Scene. It was a lovely and gripping scene.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much darling 🤗

The way khan sahib' places his hands behind his back, I really like it. He was inquisitive to know how do she manage all this. I was surprised..😲😃

Yes... everyone was surprised, Heera included! 😉

'Well, most days, are good... and I can use my sight to get by... on those days that are bad, I use my senses to get by...'

What a splendid answer. No doubt I and khan sahib are impressed by her, Again!😉

You and Khan Sahib... I like how you take both names together 😆

Omg, he again asked another question when she took his leave. He was really curious to know more about her, didn't he??😆

Yes... 😉

And he thought this might be their first and last personal meeting so why not to ask today... Wise decision but hold on khan sahib, you will get many such days and nights' when you can ask her anything' and do everything' to her..

Ohk here I should not activate my GM mode.. so back to chapter🤪

OMG OMG OMG... I just read it now... and I was like '☺️ '

Because of Durga, she fell down and lost her vision.. I thought she's blind by birth.

Not only did the younger sibling lose part of her sight after the accident - the older one lost her childhood too, as she transformed from a sister to a protective mother overnight, compensating for a guilt that she never really got over.

>>> Just one line but really heart rending, lashy..🥺 very well written..


In his travels over the years, he'd had opportunities to meet exceptional ladies - poetesses, musicians, painters, politicians and scholars - but, fact remained that none of their talents could hold a candle to the unique accomplishments of this young lady.

>>> Really??? Love you lashy for making him feel this way.🤗

'Padharjo sa...'

>> what does it mean, dear??

'Khuda Hafiz'.

>>> Khan sahib replied😃, but in his own language...😳 does it mean he wanted to say god bless you instead of good night, after hearing about that fateful incident. Am I making any sense here??

'Jaroor, baisa... shubh ratri!' the businessman's grim reply had come a moment thereafter, bringing her pace to a brief standstill.

>>>>😲

😃

The bewildering personality of this enticing man will be my death one day.

Lashy--->😲

no no I want Catty di alive and kicking!


Khan sahib'--- you never cease to make me fall for you and your charm, over and over.

That 'caught off-guard' feeling didn't disappear on her way back to the guest quarters either. And it continued to linger when she took the first morsels of her dinner too, compelling her mind to revisit the exchanges a few times.

>>> In just 2 lines, you showed how his behaviour and to be precise, his benign manner effected her and so as us..😆

Hee hee!

It was all perplexing. It was quite odd. But oddly enough, it was interesting too.

>>> Right!! Very exciting..

Of course, she already knew all of that, but had listened patiently so the eager soldier could enjoy his sense of achievement

>>> That's why I love this girl, dear author.❤️

Thank you so much darling!

Mahender and maharaj scene--- You won't believe but I had this doubt since I read chapter 4 and you really penned it down..

You did?

Mahender and heera"This is not hum apke hain kaun, na..😔

I know eventually stranger and heera will be together but I don't know why I just don't like to read it. Mahender's answer, his reaction was expected but I just hope, in future too he remains on this decision of his but I feel that he will agree for the alliance, eventually..👎🏼

You know what I'm sensing Payal.. please correct me if I'm wrong... I mean... you do like reading masaaledaar stories etc... but with these leads you prefer not watching it...

if that's the case.. may I take the slightest pleasure in saying you're possessive of them? 😉 especially the underlined lines below... you have NO IDEA how happy I was to read them!

I don't have any problem unless you used his character to make khan sahib jealous or to realise his feelings or to confess in later chapters but I doubt that all this will happen in this story.. amd I'm surprised that I myself really don't want to see all this, in this novel, though I love to see jealous jalal but I don't know, this just don't fit for these two..

Harka sahiba' and khan sahib' are just so.. different... from any other stories, I have ever read on this forum.

Heera's letter and way to see the effect of her letter was really commendable. 👏👏👏I could feel the pain of 16 yearly when she was reading that letter and also of her men, as they felt so wretched listening and imagining that awful incident again,😭😭😭 reason-your magnificent writing.⭐️

Thank you so so so much dear 🤗

Mohan banna', felt a little bad while reading about him but it's important for him to remain ill because then only, there is a chance of our Khan sahib and harka sahiba's next meetings..😉😆

Do I sound selfish here??😎

No you don't 😆

And despite the myriad of noises present in the surroundings, his words and commands were remarkably discernible.

>>> My enthralling Stranger.☺️☺️ Reading this line, I can't explain but felt butterflies hovering in my stomach.😆 Loving him and every single thing related to this fascinating man, so much re.❤️❤️❤️

Hayoo Payal you're gone case!

But soon enough, she found herself subconsciously spurred by those remarks when other maids began chipping in too.

>>> This Stranger is too hard to deal with and too fascinating to resist.❤️

☺️

They're coming here, baisa...'

'They're riding towards us...'

'But, why?'

'Did they catch us staring?'

>>>> and here I jumped in excitement, like dhani 😆though she's troubled but here you left me uneasy, waiting for my khan sahib's another meeting with harka baisa..


Enjoyed reading the chapter lashy but loved the first scene more and you know why😉

Of course, I do know why! 😉

Thankyou for creating another masterpiece, dearie. I'm loving the story and khan sahib.⭐️

Thanks a lot darling.. loved your comments so much... 🤗

From sahiba to baisa...
Wooow completely loved it lashy di
Thanks so much Akanksha 🤗

So akbar wants to know about harka... It was compliment in form of question, wasn't it? "How do you manage this ?" Really when he said baisa i was like haaye mai mar jaava
So he found her interesting/inspiring...
Yes... what else can it be considered as ... though a not-so-forthcoming one... it was a complement 😉

He is just as talented. Fluent in Rajasthani
And that is still not the end of the talents he possesses! 😉

The proposal was somehow expected. Kunwar mahindar is so beautifully written. A brave and kind rajput.
He could never forget durga. What is the relation between maharaj of bansi and heera? Heera is blessed to have maharaj n kunwar mahindar...
Maharaj of Bansi is their guardian.. Godfather... their father's friend... 😊 they used to spend some of their holidays there...

So true that words are her weapons .When heera was testing the efficiency of letter, I was like, arre akbar ko bula leti. Afterall he is toughest of them all.
I know its silly
😆 Yahaan par bhi woh aa gaye!

So durga was the reason (though unintentionally) behind heera's disability.
No doubt then that she wanted heera to be with her even after marriage. Durga was so protective for her little sister. Durga was indeed marval of nature...
Exactly why Durga wanted Heera to come along to Manswar after the wedding... because she feels protective of her younger sister!

Heera's maids are so gossip lovers. And every time akbar hi bali ka bakra banta hai. Keep talking/commenting about him constantly.
Of course... saamne hero khadaa hai.. aur kiske baare mein baat karenge😆

Maybe we will have another meet of our lead in next chapter.
Sunday tak kaise intzaar kare.
😉
forum pe timepass karte hain!

🤗 Thanks dear

Dear Lashy!
Many, many thanks! Very interesting and very distracting. 😊
Thank you...
Once again, I'm going to write small pieces. Unfortunately, I'm such an adult "aunt", has managed to fall and hurt my knee drawing blood as a five year old girl. 🤔 The trouble is that this knee operated on and the meniscus wasremoved.
I can calmly stand the pain, but I chickened out strongly and have a temperature. I apologize for flooding.
I hope you are feeling slightly better today dear... 🤗
I wanted to write the earlier. Heera contrasting with modern girls, or even with the girls of her time. She was interested in the stranger, perhaps he attracted her in the romantic meaning (unconscious). But she isn't "stuffed" does not use the Capability to make conversation. She only answered and leaves. This is her feature, even from the stage on the canal.
"...The 16 year old thought better of it and decided to reserve her gratitude for another day, for another time - if it ever came. Thus, picking up a branch, she commenced her journey in the direction of the guest house..."
Yes... because she is like that... and her upbringing is like that... where a dignified lady wouldn't stand and have unnecessary conversations with unknown men... so she doesn't indulge him in chatter.. though he does grab her 'curiosity' immensely!
I really like your character is Bindi, she is as a counterbalance - in a difficult situation she, as a puppy, her spontaneity and lack of restraint distracting. However, this she is - trouble and cause. 😛
I imagined her in this conversation. As verbose and flirtatious she would.
I've tried to make all 4 of them different

Bindiya - impulsive, girlish
Gauri - levelheaded matured
Heera - intelligent, with a hint of mischief, curious
Dhani - naughty and flirty

Well, I think so, and so I see the character of Heera. 😊
Thank you so much dear 🤗

Lashy dii😃.Beautiful update .I simply love this Heera ,more than love I respect her⭐️.The whole "writing letter" scene was so well written that I read that part again and again.Thinking about everyone from those she was writing the letters to to those about whom she was writing and then testing them on her toughest soldiers to see if it was moving enough,was simply👏.Durga was right,what she could not do with her sword,Heera is doing that with her pen.But it was painful to see her subjecting herself again and again to those horrible memories just to get the letter right😭.And the way she listened to Gokul though she knew everything just shows how sensitive she is to others feelings.
Khan sahib taking interest in Heera's past and her handling of her disability was bit of a surprise.Good surprise.Of course he is awed by her,but is not admitting it.kab tak bachega😉.And their little mind games are very interesting to read.
And somehow I had guessed the Mahendra -Heera marriage thing. But I am a little mad and annoyed with this chitranjan😡.Throughout his stay and conversation with the prince,not once he said that he had sent spies or soldiers to search for Heera.I mean its been ten days.In these days,Heera not only made plans but has started executing it too and this man.He should atleast first make sure Heera is alive and safe before fixing her marriage.Even Mahendra had more information about Heera than him.I don't know seeing her all alone is making me sad.
Another meeting ahead,waiting for Sunday.Love you.Thanks for PM😃
