Writer-e-khaas,

As we had discussed, here I am with my "suda suda", fresh-off-the press take, just in time for your breakfast in three courses. If one eats chaat, paneer, and dessert for breakfast, but why not?

(1) The Chatpata Chaat: My instant reaction to the teaser for Chapter 43

My first reaction was "Poor Akbar." Here he is thinking that Harka may be spying and not trusting him, when the truth is anything but that. She now seems to understands him more than ever and wants to reach out to the hurt man under the tough exterior. It also shows how a mind of a spy can be biased in a certain way; because while he was able to read her tears, he could not read what was behind them. Further, there were enough distractions from the unfolding suspense, whether it was Azeez or Harka asking about the letter to her messengers. Now, when will our suspense and Akbar's be cleared?

As always, your Teaser does a great job keeping us on our toes.

(2) Moving on to the main entree: Take for Chapter 42

As we get excited with the Teaser for Chapter 43, let me not forget to share how I enjoyed Chapter 42.

What I felt throughtout the chapter, was "a grazing of the surface", where you could almost feel the touch but not the depth behind it- at least not quite yet.

(a) Harka could only "graze the surface" of Akbar's rough warrior form with her binoculars, it would take a bit longer to find out the injured heart behind that shining vest of strength.

(b) What Harka did from a distance, Akbar did from close quarters. Without a touch, he managed to "graze the surface" of the emotions and passions pent up between both of them. (And there were two interesting writing concepts I liked here- one was the analogy to the "games" and "dice" they both represented and Harka's observation that Akbar could pull two lovers apart, even when one of them was himself.)

(c) Harka began to "graze the surface" of her only true misgiving against Akbar: that he was loyal to the Shehzaade of all people. Now that it was out on the open, it was up to Akbar to answer but the complexities of his past remained tangled.

(d) As even Akbar would only "graze the surface" of his loyalties to his Shehzaade; his words stopped short, only to be completed by Chachajaan later (I can't wait for this portion Writer-e-khaas!; I really liked the early glimpse of it that you provided.)

(e) And the parting prayer and reassuring smile only would "graze the surface" of how much Akbar and Harka felt for each other's well-being and peace of mind. The teaser for 43 seems to suggest that this will reach further depths very soon.

I felt the way Chapter 42 was written was very unique- as everything intentionally stayed away from the depth that was about to unfold - the whole chapter lingered on the touch that never came. Will it come in Chapter 43? We shall all know hopefully shortly.

And so, what's left after the take for Chapter 42? An experiment of mine- which is typically desserts.

(3) The last course of dessert: you can choose the sweet of your choice here; but this is more of how your writing is such as inspiration and comes to life everywhere.

As I was listening to the "Ghoomar" song from Padmavati, I also was immediately drawn to the word "Bhaisa" just like you were. I also was drawn to a regal woman, sitting with high stature amidst them all. I immediately thought of Harka sitting in the midst, watching the dance with her head held high. And then I wondered, what if it was Akbar that was looking down at Harka instead of Shahid from the top. So, inspired by HBAS I wrote this OS about how for the first time Akbar doesn't feel like going on his mission. And from the teaser from 43, he may be actually kept away from his mission. So, here is the OS:

"A sound eminated. A sound that stopped him in his tracks. Was it a calling from within? It very well could have been.

"Bhaisa" echoed through in cheerful chorus. A heartfelt celebration for his "Bhaisa". His Sahiba.

His feet held him back. Even as he knew that he couldn't afford a moment's halt. His mind battled his heart. A lapse from him and he could lose the lead on his next mission. Something he could not afford to do.

But, something tugged him back. Was it that they were celebrating his Sahiba's favorite festival as a child? Was it that she was shining with his wedding gift adorned on her neck? Was it that he could not even imagine that smile disappear with news he had departed without a word?

How could a minute for himself do any harm? He could afford a view of the courtyard from the top passage before he slowly made his way out. The temptation won out.

And there she was. In her full splendor, sparkling smile, diamonds, and all. Her eyes were dancing along with the women twirling to the "ghoomar" song. And there she was in the middle with her head high as their beloved bhaisa and leader.

As his feet began to turn away from the revelry, Bindiya's mischief forced him back. Bindiya managed to pull an unwilling Harka into their midst. And despite all her protests, Harka joined them for a twirl. He knew she did so for their happiness. As her smile widened, as company, joined a little twirl of hair on her face. The same small set of stands that had challenged his own self control not too long ago. And they were threatening to do so again.

Suddenly, he shook himself. What had come over him? For the first time. For the first time, he let himself get distracted from a mission. A mission for the Shehzaade. What had come over him? What was this new feeling rising within him? Perhaps, a rising tide he himself could not keep at bay. He would have to. With an impatient nudge, he departed and was on his way."

So that was an experimental OS- an HBAs attempt in my writing style.

And there we go! That was the promised three course meal. I hope you enjoyed it Writer-e-khaas :)

Heera Baisa, why do you need sympathisers when you have The Man himself all for yourself?? 🤔 If I were you I wouldn't have bothered or cared for any sympathisers or wellwishers, when I have my man wrapped around my fingers! 😉😆 Specially when I look and dress no less like any nymph! 😆 This pose is so 'come hither' but her eyes have a solemn look! AMK is and always will be a goner!! 😉

Hai hai...

Author Sahiba, along with the characters we are getting to know you as a writer as well!!

*Gulp* 😲

Why do I have a feeling from this post that maybe AMK might not be very pleasing in C43 to Heera!!? 🤔 Anyway but as I said, if there is no misunderstanding, there will not be any spice left and neither will be there any sweet making up as well! 😃

Have faith, darling

I have full faith on my AMK and my 'in a class of her own Author Sahiba'!! 😃

OMG Lana... what's this... I can't take more than this... I already feel like a Rasmalai floating in the clouds now... no more... gosh... to be spoken of in the same breath, vein and conviction as you speak of AMK!

🤗

I hope I will not disappoint!

If sources are to be believed it is also been heard from a little birdie that in the upcoming awards celebration the male debut and best actor award will go to none other than 'Akbar Khan' and the female supporting actress award will have the top votes for Lashy who played Akbar's female equivalent in 'Tangled in London'!

The actress in an interview said that though she has been the source of the concept and storyline, screenplay and dialogues, but she has perfected herself in Akbar Khan's company and expertise. She revealed how much she has learned from him in every aspect of the project and is looking forward to continue doing so in the upcoming 'Tangled in Parnagarh'!

Hayooo 🤣

When asked whether she felt any strong attraction for Akbar Khan or not, she gave a smitten smile blushing like the pink delicate rose and with a twinkle in her eyes winked and said, 'That is for me to know and you to guess'! We were awed by the actress supple execution of words and loving personality! But that smitten smile gave away some secret of her heart that told us tales of some untold romance.

Lana... wot eees thees?😆

We tried reaching out to Akbar Khan but he was not available for any comments and knowing his personality he will not say a word as well but again our little birdie has confirmed that his heart is sealed, locked and tucked away in a safe vault of his ladylove.

The man!

We are thankful not to hear the cliche comment 'We are good friends' from the lovely actress whose looks and porcelain skin complexion can proudly flaunt the saying, 'The face that launched a thousand ships'!

You and your porcelain skin obsession *slaps forehead*

Are you sure all of this wasn't meant for Heera?

We wish them both our very best wishes for the upcoming 'Tangled in Parnagarh' and the huge fan following is awaiting with bated breath to view their sizzling chemistry all over again on the silver screen, this time as cousins! And for this special treat, we have to thank Sandy Kapoor who is undertaking this magnum opus on the screen in her very capable hands. Knowing her particular skill in conceptualising sporty comical scenarios we can safely say, 'Please buckle your seatbelts for the next romantic comedy thriller'!! We can guarantee the show will be in the No. 1 position in the TRP charts!

😉😆

This one's making me go too much shy coming

Oh ho, if this is true then that means Jaswant is Jalal or equivalent to him because all these shy giggles are bestowed for him at the mention of his name or his picture! 😉🤣 Sandy will give a sigh of relief for sure to create such a jolly pair. 😆

Kawsi, Aunty can be your grandmother too, giving you some wisdom filled advice about not jumping the gun!! 😉😆

And even I don't know what I did to get such a loyal friend like you! 🤔 Don't worry you will be blabbering about it soon to your Jaswant, we will come to know then. 😆

And look at my expression, as if I have been served a plate full of worms! 🤣
