C37- What a thrill in the hills!

Mounting Bahadur was a monumental task for the petite lady but her man, taking matters into his own hands , got her hoisted up onto the horse with a singularly remarkable manouevre, without even laying a finger on her. (BTW Sahiba, the sketch that you put up showing how this was done was a great help in visualizing it.)

I think the silence during the trek was deliberate on his part because AMK ( other than he being reticent by nature ) did not want to unnecessarily tax her, seeing how unwell she was. The heat that was bearing down upon them being a factor to contend with - a conversation would have further sapped her energy.

What a plan to tackle the problem of the impending water crisis! Everything was meticulously mapped out and tabled for his Begum's consideration. But it was a water crisis of a different kind that took the chapter to an entirely new level.

An offer of his water flask to Heera to assuage her thirst before the return journey set in motion a chain of events that turned out to be a panacea for his pangs of desire. A brilliant CIO as he could not have misinterpreted the signals from her end and considering the tumultuous predicament that they found themselves in, the intimate moment was just waiting to happen.

The kiss- it catapulted the readers (along with the protagonists) to the heavens while it lasted. It was a culmination of intense emotions that found an escape in that moment of intimacy and ecstasy for the couple. However, we were subjected to a forced landing when an injudicious choice of words put a dampener on the intoxicating scene. Misconstruing her ill-constructed utterances, AMK promptly brought down the shutters to barricade himself from a repeat of such incidents in the future until and unless his Begum has a change of heart.

The first matter settled the scroll bearers issue, the second settled the water issue and the third (his leaving Parnagarh on business that very evening) gave them space to settle the issues of the body, heart and mind after the turbulent episode.

Darling author, C37 was a breathtaking experience for the reader in more ways than one. Thank you so so much, Lashy Sahiba! ❤️ 🤗

Thank you so so so much darling for this heartfelt review... I was just thinking 'When's Rose's review going to come?' and voila as I pressed reply, I saw your write up below!

BTW Sahiba, the sketch that you put up showing how this was done was a great help in visualizing it.

I just wanted to know - was it difficult for anyone else to visualise it? Does it need anything else to be added to it, to help with the scene?

I think the silence during the trek was deliberate on his part because AMK ( other than he being reticent by nature ) did not want to unnecessarily tax her, seeing how unwell she was. The heat that was bearing down upon them being a factor to contend with - a conversation would have further sapped her energy.

More than anything, he knew she was still recovering from his earlier 'Do as I say' episode!

So, he wanted to give her space... 😉 and didn't it work like a charm...

From 'Good he's silent... gives me time to be my quiet self... ' she went, within an hour, to 'I don't care if I lose this game... I just want him to answer me now!'

What a plan to tackle the problem of the impending water crisis! Everything was meticulously mapped out and tabled for his Begum's consideration.

Of course... his mind is always working! ❤️

But it was a water crisis of a different kind that took the chapter to an entirely new level.

☺️

An offer of his water flask to Heera to assuage her thirst before the return journey set in motion a chain of events that turned out to be a panacea for his pangs of desire.

One line... and whatta line... I can add nothing to it to glorify it's beauty...perfect Teacher Rose... 👏

A brilliant CIO as he could not have misinterpreted the signals from her end and considering the tumultuous predicament that they found themselves in, the intimate moment was just waiting to happen.

Dreamy!

The kiss- it catapulted the readers (along with the protagonists) to the heavens while it lasted. It was a culmination of intense emotions that found an escape in that moment of intimacy and ecstasy for the couple.

However, we were subjected to a forced landing when an injudicious choice of words put a dampener on the intoxicating scene. Misconstruing her ill-constructed utterances, AMK promptly brought down the shutters to barricade himself from a repeat of such incidents in the future until and unless his Begum has a change of heart.

Unfortunately, her choice of words came out wrong... nevertheless, the sentiments in her heart, he understood perfectly - that is, she needed time to accept him... that she didn't trust him yet... and in turn, though he knows she's justified, he finds it painful to be around the person - since it's to whom his heart is most loyal! So, he's decided to play it safe, aloof and formal again!

The first matter settled the scroll bearers issue, the second settled the water issue and the third (his leaving Parnagarh on business that very evening) gave them space to settle the issues of the body, heart and mind after the turbulent episode.

👏 Excellent!

Darling author, C37 was a breathtaking experience for the reader in more ways than one. Thank you so so much, Lashy Sahiba! ❤️ 🤗

Thank you for this splendorous review.. but thank for you for the encouragement that comes in more ways than just one! Everyday every chapter! 🤗

I came across this article and was quite touched... it's sad/bad news everywhere you look... so a bit of ❤️ news is always welcome -

The daily work grind can definitely take its toll, but we easily forget that our jobs hold significant meaning in the way we perceive ourselves and those around us. In the constant ping pong of the work-life balancing act, Bitty and Beau's coffee shop in North Carolina seems to have gotten it so right.Most coffee shops are frantic hives of activity where employees work at nearly superhuman speeds to get their customers their orders as quickly as possible. At Bitty & Beau's Coffee in Wilmington, North Carolina, they have different priorities.

The coffee shop is not just about serving delicious cinnamon rolls and piping hot cups. It's about combining livelihood with community and social responsibility. Bitty and Beau's coffee shop boasts a team of 19 employees - each one on a spectrum of intellectual and developmental disabilities. The customer service is well above your run-of-the-mill grab and go breakfast joint - and there is good reason; each employee has mastered the art of hospitality and providing a unique experience for each and every customer. Their work is their life - but in the healthiest way.

Through their employment, they have been given the opportunity to shine as viable and valuable individuals, showcasing their strengths in a world that is continuously setting them apart as a minority. Bitty & Beau's is a brilliant model for other businesses around the world on how to integrate adults with disabilities in the workforce - giving them the opportunity to use their skills and talents, contribute to society, and provide meaningful experiences, not only for the workplace, but for the clientele, on a daily basis.

"There is a different level of hospitality when you walk into this place and I just think it's because you are welcomed. It is the most genuine thing you'll ever feel."

The shop's owners, Amy and Ben Wright, named the shop after two of their children who have Down syndrome.

And on that note, Good morning with a hot cuppa 🤗
