Your OS was divyam pa

I never knew this side of your creativity. Great job ' I also liked the fact that it was pretty decent without raw adult content, everything was left to the readers imagination.

Thanks, hope to see more of such stories by you

A pleasant one at that😊

awww thanks so much 😳

Your attempt to incorporate music in your story is your "signature" and I loved it.

Thank you! Yes music is too intertwined in whatever I do

Just one scene, but whole story and plethora of emotions were told👏

Simple, real, beautiful😳

thank you so so much for such sweet words 🤗

This was a lovely piece of work, an amazing medley of imaginations, and the joy of homecoming all rolled into one. Whatever inspired this concept, it was certainly one of the best one shot i have read in a long time. And the fact that I was reading your work for the very first time, made the experience all the more transcendental.

thank you so much 😳Now how I know how Lashy feels - it is amazing to hear my writing described in your poetry - it translates it to such a new level

I have so often heard this Rajasthani folksong, but here our Jodha hears it as a call back from her home where she truly belonged. It was a cinematographic delight, at the backdrop of dusty but vibrant terrains of Rajasthani village, two souls lost in the tide of strained relationship and diverging ideas meet. And the conversation that follows, is like a beautiful music. This entire experience is Jodha's, it's from her diction we see Jalal, her husband, whom she's about to divorce, and part ways. A very refreshing approach.

The way you captured the whole essence of the song and ambience of the story 👏

Changing emotions, Jodha's thoughts around Jalal, Jalal in hise traditional white garb and moustache, a brief flip through the pages of past, peering into their picture album of happy memories - a rushed impulsive wedding, carefree college days, idyllic setting of honeymoon in Kerala, the seeds of separation, her secret contribution to his dream - and above all the Armaan, you have brought it all, in such a limited number of words, but never did it sound too fast or hurried. It was sheer delight!

and you captured it all in an even shorter but poignant verse

I would eagerly await more such marvels from you and a thanks to Lashy di, for making this one happen 😃

Congratulations once again! ⭐️

Thanks so so much! 😊

Ever since I read the OS... I was desperately waiting for results to out so then I can get to know the identify of writer. And then I'm surprised. Indeed pleasant surprise!! 😳

awww thanks so much

I don't have to say much about the impact this very OS created. Think of a reader... who is about to read 17 OSes. With so many varying topics, emotions and writers... eventually a reader will be tired. And posting your OS as 14th... There's a huge drawback... But still you manage to gain votes. And this said a lot than any of our words.

That really means a lot and am so glad you read through all 17 OSes- such wonderful efforts each were

Thanks you so much Divi for this exceptional OS. It's indeed a refreshing interval for our tiring mind. 👏👏👏 Please continue write.

I will definitely try 😳

Congratulations, first of all! 😃

thank you!


It was one of the most heart-touching stories ever, to be very honest. From the very-passionate-about-their-goals leads to their gradual disconnect and separation, on to their touching reunion, everything was so real and relatable. From the concept of 'Armaan' to the backdrop of social welfare and career goals to changing approach and striking ways... everything was so good. Very well thought and even better written! 👏

Thank you for noticing that every detail ... It means a lot


I also loved how you introduced Raag Maand between all this and connected it within the story. That was amazing!

I am glad you liked it ... Music and I are inseparable


I have always been a huge fan of your take 5s on JA, and now you have made me an admirer of your writing too. Please do write more.

Thank you ... Of course I remember you from the golden JA days. I will definitely try to write more. All your words are so encouraging


PS : I have recently changed my UN. I think my old one, -AkDha.Lover-, might be a little familiar to you. 😆

and I like Felicity a lot ... akdha were just one form of it , right? 😉
