Adi,
I have to agree.. that was phenomenol. Let me tell you one more time.. I just LOVE the spunky attitude Bani has .. her emotions are just right.. the way she assumes things, the way she does not hold back lashing at him. I have to read it a couple of more times.. to register the whole thing again...I loved the line about fighting demons is not easy.. so true. .Adi.. that is what everybody goes through at some point and you have brought out his confusion and then his rebuttal to the demon in a classy manner. I loved the way he pushes the demon away...
The 'Mmmm' answers just take my breath away.. I can imagine the electricity that passes through the characters everytime she utters that.
The minute things you describe are too good to be missed. Starting from his frustration when she does not want to be alone but does not say it... and him making her say it.. the actions of getting the DVD player operational... the ordering of cake for her ... holding her chai cup without being asked for... you have that talent in you for incorporating the surroundings, the vital emotions.. that make this FF so special.
I loved his idea of not washing dirty laundry in the car.. he waited until he entered her apartment.. that is too cool.. its speaks so much of his power, his frame of mind and his principles. After all he is "THE JW".
I loved the sleeping on the shoulder.. of course it made it even more special because it was raining outside and was so much more romantic watching a movie then... thanks Adi... Its these simple actions of romance that make my heart always miss a beat. And you did not not miss the pins and needles.. part.. that is the most natural part.. and it blended in soo beautifully...the quandry of wiping the sindoor was too good... the friendly banter in the washroom... I am sorry for jumping all over the place with my review.. but kya karoon.. I keep going back and forth what I have read..
It was looooong and beauuuuuutiful.. thanks adi.
