First the things i loved. RAGHAV!!! Oh how he reminded me of my own school/college days and the crazy stuff we used to to get up to. My best friend was a guy too, and though he is nothing like Raghav, the camaraderie is the same. Got to call him now 😊.
And "head of Sia Corporation". I was 🤣. Yeah, ok, i get amused by the weirdest things - but Mina!! This was awesome 😆.
And i love Pragya here. Here dawning realization that she is losing herself, and rediscovering her own personality in the safe haven of friendship. I just wanted to hug her.
Oh and before i forget. I like Aliya too and the way Nanad-Bhabhi are trying to build a bridge. And the fact that she can dress up her Bhabhi lights her up. That was - awww.
Ok. Now for the nit. And just so you know, its a nit because this was from you. In most other stories, i would just breeze by this entire section with a "whatever". But from you - ummm. No. Niet. So what am i going on and on about?? Tanu. That entire section in the 2nd update smacked of laziness and Mina taking the easy way out. Seriously woman?? You can do so much better. Tanu is a model, perhaps even with international exposure. Even if she does not have that level of exposure, she is still a model. And she does not know how to eat oyesters? Or table manners? Forget that - simple, basic etiquette? Nope. Not buying it. Granted, models can be bitches. Why them - we all can be, given enough provocation. But a model is trained to present the best of herself in any situation, especially in public. And here she is in a public arena, with powers that be, and she knows it. She may be a bimbo, but she knows her role and how to play it.
I am loving this SS 'coz of Raghav and his friendship with Pragya. But Mina, this update left me with an overwhelming sense of disappointment in Mina, the writer, pandering to the public and taking the easy route. Please don't. Especially since you write so very well.
[And please, please, please - don't take this the wrong way. I wouldn't have written the above if i didn't care. And if i didn't think you would understand my point. I expect the same from you, btw - rip my writing to shreds so i know where to improve and how].
