OS || Maand: A calling from the countryside; Akbar's POV on pg 5 - Page 5

I'm going to try and imitate Divi here

Now I am in a bind, because I cannot imitate writer-e-khaas😆

The theme for my take this week is "Akbar", and let me see if my reflections on his POV reflect what you wanted to reflect from this chapter!

Evvalo reflection 😳

1) He is a gentleman

2) His every emotion and line makes so much sense!

3 He understands himself - and more than that, he understands his Jodha!

4) He looks handsome in a veshti

5) He is called bhaijaan!

There... I tried emulating Divi and ended up lookng like a 7 year old writing a composition on My favourite Hero!

You really like this Akbar don't you 😉that being said, he didn't get Jodha right 100% - he expected her to come back to normal herself, but Akbar himself evolved quite a bit

Ok back to some serious stuff! 😉

What a gentleman he is. Of course, we don't know the content of the arguments/fights. But from your write up here, he comes across as the man who'd never once thumped his views upon his better half. And that's why he was the one, who in a way, emerged a tad bit shinier here.

Of course, Akbar is a true gentleman. 😳

It's interesting though- I tried to keep it balanced with some things that Akbar did not get right, like expecting Jodha to become normal soon, thinking a life of random projects was sustainable, misunderstanding Jodha's love for her new life as an advertising executive. But, I guess the other sides of Akbar shone so much, that nothing else stood in the way of his sheen. 😉

He sat back and watched Jodha changing... and then hoped she would come back to him. And she did.

And even after she returned he didn't stop there - he ensured she was doing something that would give her that bit of individuality...

Yes, he had grown to understand and respect her dreams just as she had his

No wonder - changed Jodha or not - she never leaves after that. She must have realised that no change is worth the man - the only constant in her life - that she has beside her.

Yes, for both , each other was the constant. I would say both Jodha and Akbar evolved through the story ... Both began to understand how to balance their dreams with what was more practical. Even Akbar moved in the direction of her practicality. 😳

Thanks so so much for your support for my writing! 🤗

Thanks for the PM and hope to see you with more of such stories.

This certainly has to be as enchanting as the former, if not more.⭐️ I thoroughly enjoyed this perspective analysis - first with Jodha narrating and then Jalal.

Thanks so much dear ... I found it interesting tomwrite both and link them 😳Glad you enjoyed the attempt.

But it definitely stands out as a fact that it is a story of Jalal, through and through. With his gentlemanly decorum, his hoping against the reality and expecting Jodha to return to him, that condition he placed - he is worth something. And Jodha realise that. From his indirect persuasion. From his knowledge of her whereabouts.

I have created quite the Akbar/Jalal fan club it seems! 😉 That being said - I think Akbar becoming more practical and starting a foundation based on her idea played a role as well. Both met in the middle I would say, maybe slightly closer to Akbar's direction.

It was a delightful diptych - the tale of two people, and their unified dreams, Armaan. A tale of homecoming, as you've called it. And above all the song Kesaria Balam... I am planning to hear that song again, now that I have read this story! 😛

Yes, I love that song, the version from the movie Dor is my favorite.

Loved it to the core, but I love you more 🤗

Love you too 🤗

Please continue showering these beautiful gifts...

WOW !!! So many writers and there is competition emerging for lashy 😆

A very moving story. Will come back for more.

Being an obstinate composter and a great believer of Organic way of life, the story is very special to me.

Why everyone makes Akbar a tad more special than Jodha ? Just asking. 😆
