Mishal Raheja as Major Dutta Patil

Painful Rapture~Last part/Epilogue

"The wheel is come full circle"..Shakespeare

eighteen months later..

Dutta on his bare belly lay on his bed, his muscular arms crossed under his chin. He flashed an unseen smile on his head cushion as he felt the comely baggage on his naked bare brawny back, accompanied by the smart united slaps on his flesh ."awwwh! Naku! pakar ise , janwar ka baacha! Naku came out of the bathroom wet hair heaped on her head in a head towel,"nehi aisa nehi karte! baaba ko dard hota hai ! she reprimanded , but instead got a droned yell in return, "aye Naku !"which instantaneously brought about some giggles from Naku . Dutta shifted his head and in a muffled growl spewed,"tu hase ge tu this terror is going to be more bloody cheeky! pata nehi kis metti ke buni hoye hai ye? "he questioned and Naku replied shyly,"fauji metti ke Saab".. "thare ise main! he challenged, and he rolled over and looked at himself literally! sitting a top on his hairy belly ,"aye! aise nehi keta , Aye bol!"and then he told Naku off,"oyee teach her to call you "AYE", and Naku flared her nostrils and hissed,"is ghar mein sab mujhe Naku bolte hain, aur ap ayee Naku! koi mujhe "Aye" nehi bulata tu, Amba woh he bola ge ju suna ge"!Dutta heard and then turned to his daughter "AHYEE BOL"he said to her firmly, and the toddler shook its head and narrowed its eyes, with a raised palm in Dutta's face.. He looked at her lovingly, his daughter the most beautiful girl in the whole world. His joy, his fulfilment, the light of his eyes.. Amba .. yes AS 's first grandchild and that too a prised girl! The day she was born was still afresh in his memories, he was on an out of station exercise , Baji and Kala had taken charge, just as well, it was a true to life situation.. not many soldiers can be around when their wives gave birth and he was certainly no exception .He Dutta had emerged at the hospital when the war had ceased and victory had be declared in the form of a strapping priceless baby girl whom he nearly lost, in the wake of events. He smiled as he felt his waist hugged on either side by the chunky fat thighs of his daughter, and his slender fingers played with her shiny pink toes that wriggled under his touch on either side of his naked waist. How rapturous an instance it was, the day, she had arrived, as with dewy eyes he had held the treasured bundle in his arms, for it seemed to him and everyone who saw her that she was the spitting image of himself.The puffy tomato hued wrinkled screwed countenance, once relaxed, gradually revealed a Dutta like wrath at being poked and prodded, the similar squared jaw, topped with Dutta's broad forehead, his prominent nose and yes! the long narrow eyes. Feasting at her at eighteen months now, with his narrow lion like eyes, he found his gaze being equally matched by her narrow eyes ,with her head in a slight slant, like he does! and he chuckled, heavens in her mannerisms too she was him incarnate! her giddy up heeled yanks on the sides of his bare waist, reminded him she required his interaction , and hence he stroked her rosy chubby cheek as he continued to study her, now it was a known fact that he took immense delight in looking at himself ,by gazing at her he adored his own appearance. She was in audition with her babaa and she expressed her joy, as she merrily rocked back and forth on his belly and pressed her hands on his belly..."oyee Ambaa, na kar dard hota hai ! honestly Naku she is a terror, mujhe yaad hai where she happened , hummh... thujhe yaad hai ye trench ke paidwar hai isli liye itne rough hai", he groaned as he turned his head towards Naku. Naku who stood with his tray of morning tea tray, giggled,"yaad hai Saab woh ap exotic honey moon ke liye ju le ke kaye the"she admitted shyly. Amba turned her big head towards her mother who had paused her fun and frolic with her babaa. With a raised palm, a pointed forefinger, and a slant of her head, she shouted in broken baby words "Naku chai!.Dutta chuckled as he put his arm behind the chubby Amba's back and pulled her down to his chest and rested his lips on the folds of his baby's neck and the brush of his stubble tickled her soft skin and she cackled and gurgled with laughter as he burst balloons on her neck with his lips.. Naku placed his tea on the bedside table, and leaned forward to lift Amba off his chest but Dutta picked her up and plonked her on the side of the bed , as he kissed the top of her big round solid head,"mera baacha!",but Amba crawled back on his chest and dribbled on his hairy chest and he literally pulled her up and sat her up on his hairy belly yet again, "dirty girl! Naku saaf kar meri chatti sare wet kerde hai is na,"! As Naku, wiped his chest, Amba pressed her palms on his chest and grabbed hold of the hairs of his chest.Dutta yelped, "oyee !maa ke theran ise bhi mera chest hairs se khelna hai! he moaned, but gently released her dimpled tubby fingers from his hairs and ran his fingers around her red podgy cheeks..and laid her on his chest and fixed her disposable nappie and closed his strong arms gently on her plump rotund sticking up back. His stubble mouth pressed against the warm soft top of her head and he closed his eyes in sheer bliss of fatherhood. Naku, smiled as she looked at both of them father and daughter bare chested dressed in a nappie and white pyjama bottoms respectively.. catching a hundred winks again. Seemed to her that her beloved Saab had given up his chai for their baby. She posed to much distraction for him and demanded his constant attention, it appeared that Saab's complete focus went on Amba, but this interest and doting Naku was willing to share ..

Dutta reminisced, how at the day of his daughters, nam karan, Baji conjured the list of girl names suggested, it was an interesting collection of traditional to contemporary names ,but AS shorlisted ,Lakshmi, Durga, Sarwasti, Parvati, and Amba,.. but for AS, the preference was clear her first grand child would be called after her favourite chant Jagdamba.. hence.. Amba Dutta Patil.. she would be Dutta's daughter, his pride and joy, another girl to pamper him had arrived at last..

He squeezed his strong sinewy arms round the toddler, and she chuckled as his fingers tickled her soft belly. Given the chance, she sat up and pumped his biceps with her tubby fingers, and Dutta, chuckled and yelled,"Naku dekh ise meri naye coach, feeling my dole shole,"he said with a naughty wink at his shy wife. Causally amidst this moment of jollity, he narrowly turned his head at a left out Naku, and from where he lay he unfolded his right arm from around his daughters back and offered it to Naku, who shook her head with a firm, "Nehin Saab ab utho aap, ab aur ise bhi chorro, tayar nehi hona?.."Dutta's arm hung suspended for a brief instance a, till Baji came into the room and came straight towards Amba, lifted her up and carried her by the belly as her legs jerked up and down as on his way out, he shouted ,"aap dono get ready! AS will get this brat ready ,chaal Amba Ajji ke pas!" he informed the chirping Amba and both left the room. Dutta with groaned and moaned as he stood up ,tottered a wee bit, and once steady walked towards his wife who stood before him in her bathrobe, he stood near her and pulled her close to him only to be stopped by this new bump,! he looked own at her with narrow eyes and pulled his mouth to one side,"dekh liye mujhe encourage karne ka natija ,phir se bun in the oven! he chuckled as he towed her top part on to his chest and she rested her head against his chest,"humh dekh liya hai Saab"she replied resigned , but after second thought stated that," at some point, we need to take kuch na kuch khadam tu lena parhe ge in the longterm,", he caressed her back with his palms and kissed the top of her head, "sshh don't be so hasty, yet, phele is new arrival ko tu ane de, phir baad mein soochien ge tera Bappa ke dien ke bare mein hummh?"she whispered a hummh softly on his hairy chest , and he felt, she was not quite right, so he held her face in his palms and stroked her temples with his thumbs, "darling kya bola thujhe doctor na check up mein aaj,?" Naku ,knew full well that this time Dutta was even more confident than compared to the time of her first pregnancy, he was super, always there by her side relishing all the stages of Amba from nought to eighteen months ..but this time she would know the signs, so she mentioned to him "haan Saab, the doctor had indicated that being the second child, the labour would not be as long as ten hours the way it was for Amba waise, jaldi bhi ho sakta hai Saab it's head is engaged .. Dutta, looked at her blankly, it was obvious he was still unfamiliar with certain terminology, but thanks to Naku's explanation, he understood that he needed to know so any time really, so as usual vigilant, he queried, if her bag for the hospital was packed, to which she gave the answer he expected in affirmative.

Dutta, wore an ivory and gold raw silk kurta and ivory silk dhoti , and once dressed slipped his long slender toes in his zari mojarees.. Naku , emerged out of the dressing room clad in a purple Maharashatran sari with the pearl nose ring and matching pearl and amethyst jhumkis and a matching necklace adorned her fair slender neck. Dutta smiled at the sight of his gorgeous full term pregnant wife, and brushed his lip with his folded forefinger, "hummh Naku, it's a bonus to live with elders haina ab dekh , AS ke wajah se, humien ye opportunity mile hai ke ,she looks after Amba and hum dono.."and he progressed slowly towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders.. hummh? he asked expectantly and she moved towards the bed and arranged his beige gold patka on his shoulder and looped her handsome man's arm with a plea, "Saab chalo ab neeche.. rasam shorru hone wali hoge..

Yes Baji's wedding day was in the making, long over due it was ,mused Dutta. AS, was the blessed lady her good son was getting married , and for Dutta his youngest sister was getting married to his bosom pal ,upon whom , Dutta had wished that this nautanki too should be hitched and banged up, to reform him into a restricted family man like himself. Dutta carried his daughter in his arms, and gazed at Baji as pandit jee commenced the lagan mantra's , how he was revolted by the prospect of Baji marrying Roops, when Naku had first mooted the notion, mmh how wrong he was in his judgment of his best buddy, for today seeing the sense of wedded bliss in his sisters' eyes he realized without a doubt that Baji was the right person for his youngest sister..Baji was loyal in thick and thin, a pre- requisite to Dutta for relationships to function. Baji, was a home grown product who knew well the ins and outs of the members of PN, he knew their strengths and weaknesses, and as such the matters of adjustability would not be jarred, besides Baji was much loved not just by Roops but by his mother, himself and his beloved Naku, whose persuasion made this liaison possible. Baji embraced Dutta with Amba in his arms, and whispered, "thanks Bhao for giving me Roops, aaj Baji puri taur se tera ho gaye..",and Dutta moved his head back and looked into Baji's tearful, eyes and replied dryly,"chaal ab zayeeda drama maat kar aur apne patne sawa challo kar, and it better be good..! he warned, and Baji , gave him a dimpled smile and guffawed, "I have learnt only from the best ,tu I assure you it will be good..the vadai began and Roops cried her eyes out, along wih every one else ,and Dutta pulled his lips to one side, when he looked at a tearful, Naku,"ab thujhe kyon roona ah raha hai ? is ghar mein he rehe ge Roops".. he muttered and Baji overheard his Bhao and poked Roops in the back with,"chaal get up to my room, that's all tu kar rehe changing rooms , so you don't have to bawl your eyes out.. " he jested and everyone laughed and agreed with Baji's remark.

Naku, changed Amba's nappie and looked towards Dutta who sat on his turquoise settee, reading the news paper.He heard the mother daughter arguments as Naku tried to dress her up and Amba did roly polys on the bed out of her reach with shouts of "ayeee Naku! Dutta rose in a temper and growled, "haat tu and gimme this brat's clothes I'll dress her up!.. and he gradually neared the bed with his narrow eyes fixed on her, his finger raised at her.. and simultaneously , Amba with narrowed eyes mirrored the action, and Dutta grabbed her lay her down on the bed , and pulled her tee shirt over her big square head, and then pulled up her cord dungarees on her chubby portly legs.. Amba , yelled "ayeee Naku zozz"!and Dutta shook his head as Naku bent down and collected her daughters trainers as Dutta struggled to push Amba's striped socks on her toes.Just as Naku sat on the bed to put on the trainers she felt her a tummy contract and she yelped and held her waist and back from one side and almost turned pale. One look at her and Dutta gathered, that the battle was on again, he took over the trainers from Naku. Naku stood up in discomfort...something told her the hour had approached...,"Saab.. woh.. ", But Dutta tarried not he lifted Amba in his arms and rushed towards AS's room and told her, Naku needed to go to Hospital.. on his way back to his room he raised alarm for Baji.Within seconds ,Dutta carried Naku in his strong arms and made a beeline down the hall ,somewhere in the distance they both heard their daughters bawl it was uncanny that she could sense that another one was on the way and she would not be the only one now! Naku, with arms around her Saab's neck looked up him anxiously and instructed "Saab ap wapis ghar ah jana woh Amba," Dutta bowed his head in agreement ,yes he too was concerned about his existing baaby doll.. Baji, Dutta, and Naku arrived at the maternity wing ,and she was whisked off to the labour room where briefly he stood by her side ,and with sided eyes she looked up into his anxious hooded eyes .Her hands desired his , and she felt his the chain of his wide wrist watch, and gradually his wide palm opened and she slipped her small fair fingers in the warm security of his palm and gradually his strong fingers closed around her hand as she squeezed his palm and twisted it forcefully at each contraction ,and a sigh escaped her lips,"mein mar jae ge Saaabb"she cried as she bit her lower lip, and he jogged her hand ,"ayee Naku, koi mare ge nehi tu, you have been through this before with Abma , itna he dar hai tu phir kyon aye tu dobarra hummh?"he whinged and she turned her head in pain on the pillow looking up into his eyes weeping ,and he informed her ,"chal jaane de mujhe , I'll see Amba kaise ghar ja ka? and after a pause suggested, "shall I send AS tere pas here?"and Naku nodded as she released his hand ,and he stalked out homeward bound as she lay in labour room taking her contractions systematically.. the truth was he could not bear to see her in excruciating pain.. she did her breathing exercises, content that Saab had gone to tend to Amba.

AS, arrived and took charge of Naku's' emotional side as she sat by her beside and clasped her little palm in her hands, both women young and old waited for nature to take course, and very soon it did and AS, with chants of "Jagdammbe" bent downed to kiss Naku and declared in great joy."Shravan ah gaye hai Naku! and she quickly went out to inform Baji and Kala .. Kala dialled home.But AS requested her eldest daughter to give her the phone , and upon hearing Dutta's voice she announced," badhai ho Dutta ,Amba ka bhai ah gaye hai..." and Amba grabbed the phone from her father's palm and shouted "Ajji"!

Dutta cradled his son in his arms while Baji held Amba in his arms to keep her calm. AS, too stood close to Dutta and both peered at his second baby, it was if they were looking at the carbon copy of Nakusha. Dutta kissed his fair forehead, and AS, laughed and remarked Dutta tera beta tu bilkul Naku pe gayea hai ,rang roop ,nain naksh..",and Baji came forward and made Amba take a peek at her baby brother," AS , ye dehko ,phir se Dutta aur Naku!.. and he looked at his Bhao with tearful eyes and said, "chall Bhao full circle tera family complete hai ab.."Dutta, bowed his head and AS informed her sons.. "aur ye humara Shravan Kumar hai.."

It was blessed a day when Dutta brought his beloved Naku home from the hospital, he looked at her across the room on the bed, surrounded by their two children on each side..Amba and Shravan.. and to think to marry would stop him from work , it didn't instead he was blessed in every step he took with his Naku , the woman of his life, the light of his life, the meaning of his life..He moved towards the bed and grabbed Amba and perched her on his belly as he shifted his back against the bed rest, and stretched his arm around Naku's shoulders as she held Shravan against her bosom.. Baji barged in with a camera and yelled say .. Bhaooo!.. smile please! and Dutta turned his head towards Naku and looked into her green doe eyes with his narrow lion like eyes... epilogue follows...

Painful Rapture~ Epilogue

Nineteen years later..

It runs through the blood, the call towards to the combat soil, the trenches. This profound calling for the army, the thundering ,booming of mortar fire , grenades, the rattling of machine guns ,the tinkling of pellets, smoke filled environment, with the shrill sharp sound of the shrapnel and shelling! amidst a host of fellow soldiers! The helmet protected narrow eyes briskly shifted to view the enemy range before and with mouth slanted to one side, mind concentrated to assess the sights and sounds of possible death. Suddenly with a yell, "get a bloody move on before I bloody jump in , I'll do it if you don't ,FIRE!"! the intrepid voice resounded from under the combat helmet. Soldiers in the trenches yelled back through billows of smoke "you stay put Lieutenant Patil, we act now"! and the officers command was adhered to with a returned volley of blasts and mortar attacks which assured success and the lion like eyes behind the helmet twinkled and the mouth curled up into a tiny smile ,with an encouraging thumbs up for the soldiers in the trenches.

Still in combat gear , with one jump out of the jeep,and long strides legs that hauled them selves up on the stairs leading to the entrance of PN, heavy boots pounced on the marble and Rahmaan appeared with a big smile and saluted, "kaise ho Rahmaaan chachaa?, babba jage hoi hain?,jee Sarr",replied Rahmann and the figure in combat uniform entered home , and on seeing the place quiet and empty yelled,"oyeee Baji ,nautanki kadher hai tu? main hoon, tu abhi ah!" the voice boomed. Baji looked at Dutta and remarked with a dimpled smile,"kya yaar Bhao ,ab tera baacha bhi mujhe ko order deta hai teri theran," and before he finished the fauji entered Dutta's study and stood to attention and saluted stiffly! Dutta raised his palm and commanded, "stand at ease!" and then moved closer and put his hands on the officer's shoulders and looked down with love,"hummh Amba so you have come home , you look well officer," and he turned to Baji and asked doesn't she?" and Amba moved towards Baji bent and touched his knees and then stood up and with narrow eyes and slant of the head asked,"kaise hai re tu Baji, suna hai tuna neye jeep le hai mujhe kabhi check out karieya ga?! and then she raised her palm and pointed a finger and said"our sun nautanki, I am driving it not you!, and Baji looked at Dutta as he scratched the side of his head, "dekh Bhao phele tu mujhe pe hukam chalta tha ,aur ab ye, teri beti Amba "and both men laughed as Amba went towards, her parents bedroom, and opened the door to find her mother standing in front of Bappa's murti ,"aye Naku, tu edher hai, apne Saab ke pas nehi? , aisa kyon ?"she said as she hugged her mother's shoulders from behind, and then slowly turned her around to gaze into her green doe eyes with a further query," Saab se telling off mili hai kiya. hummh?" and Naku ,smiled with a gentle shake of the head and realized that even her daughter was familiar with her father's unpredictable nature , but over the years he had mellowed down and seasoned in his attitudes.. but still her action man at this ripened age too rattled and growled occasionally to show much to her delight that he still had the boom of gunpowder in him!

Shravan arrived home, a gentle seventeen plus lad, in his trainee physiotherapist uniform and as soon as he entered he went straight for his grandmother and gently sat beside her on the settee and put his arm round her shoulders and rested his head on AS's shoulder.The rest of the family came into the hall and beamed at the scene of affection between grandson and grand mother.. AS looked across to Dutta and called out ,"dekh ye hamra gora chitta, green ankhoon, aur theeke nakhsh wala Dutta ,... and a jealous Amba strode towards Shravan and sat on the other side of Ajji's, and declared,"Ajji! asali Dutta main hoon! ho bha ho Fauji!, ye Shravan PT ka baacha! tu Naku hai haina Baji?"said Amba and Baji slapped his hands above his head,"tu meri maa mujhe is lotche sa door rekha!...haina Bhao, aaj kal ke baache bahut challo hai Deva shapat!" and he felt his adam's apple ..and Dutta turned his head towards Baji and said in his guttrral voice,"main sooch raha hoon ke un baachoon ko bata doon ke akhar main hoon kaun ?,"and he suddenly bellowed, "Right you two , get to your rooms now! shower and change on the double! and Naku intervened ,"Saab ap kiya un pe abhi bhi shout karein ge? woh baache nehi rahe ab",Amba who headed up stopped near the balcony and watched her father bemused from above, and as soon as Dutta turned his head towards Naku to respond to her, Amba called menacingly ,"aye Naku maat bhol ke main unka baap hoon woh mera baap nehi!" and Baji clapped his hands and guffawed,"jaisa baap waise baache! and AS laughed and held her pallu end to her mouth.. and Dutta raised his head towards his daughter , and pointed his fore finger at her." you! will have words with you later officer!...

Dutta due to his exceptional duties over the years, was eventually at the age of forty nine promoted to the rank of General.The day arrived when he was awarded and once the ceremony was over.. Dutta posed before the photographers flanked by his fair wife Naku and son Shravan on the right ,and his AS and Amba on the left.. after the photo , he looked up to the heavens with his generals gold stars on his shoulders and said a silent prayer..Babaa aj ap ke ashirwad ke saath main bhi ap ke nakhsa kadam pe ah gayea hoon..

At last the two, Dutta and his lovely Naku were alone. Both sat facing each other on the step of the blue peacock out door small seating area. Dutta dressed in his white kurta pyjama looked tenderly with besotted eyes at his stunning woman. Affectionately ,he felt her soft smooth cheek ,and gazed into her lovely green doe eyes.. and he curled his mouth and said,"chaal Naku ab tu itne saal ho gayen hain, aaj tu mujhe mera name se pukar .. hummh?"Naku looked at his face, the same imposing narrow lion like eyes, the same contoured now salt and pepper beard on a square defined jaw, the same deeply indented chin ,and the same side parted mop of hair predominantly black all around except for the distinguished salt pepper temples ,and she blushed as he raised an eye brow at her while he waited to hear his name Dutta from her rose bud mouth.. "bolaahh! he went and she played with her fingers and with a lowered head she whispered,"ab main kya bole ge Saab...Hamlet53~28.12.12

Dearest chulbul pandeyji, aap hai "yaha ke robinhood pandey jo hamesha manmani karne mein mahir hai"..,

Firstly to you and wishin you happiness, health and all that you wish for in life..🤗 But there is no denying I was shell shocked by the sudden closure of my favourite Ff Dunno what to say but i hate you for enslaving us, hooking us to this journey of major/dutta's life and leaving us orphaned, when major went abaad with not one but two juniors 😛 Why did it have to be like this? No, i dont need ur cliched answers... chalo yeh gaana suno, dagabaaz hai tum, sach mein, yet i forgive you😉...

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m2-HuJKO3k[/YOUTUBE]

Shocker No.2, we have a leap of 18 months and robbed of the precious moments when major n naku hold their bundle of joy first time 😲 But thank you for some small [actually bigg] mercies, a girl baby Amba named by AS ofcourse who else can it be... Hohohooo "aye naku" 😆 amba is speaking woh bhi loaded with attitude and why not, jaise baap waise beti. What a cute family moment that is, the little girl perched on his chest n pulling his hair lol.. arey yeh toh naku ki aadat hai. She's naturally Daddy's pet, but his mirror image as well n luckily he knows the limits of pampering, way to go major👍🏼 Still feel for him thou as he missed the birth of his darling baby. hmm one cannot have everything atleast not in army life

Hammie this is shocker No.3, i vividly remember u were against naku having another one...now you will tel me it was an accident how convenient. Its getting increasingly difficult to trust you. And our gadha is ready for more, he will only say,

Wow its raining surprises, baji and roops wedding yayee!!!... ill call it a pleasant surprise, superb hammie, u didnt forget them. oooh ghar jamai baji tearful, what a sight ? teary eyed as his dostana is over full and final. Roops ki vidai ? WTH? from one room to another, this is the most funniest vidais i have ever heard of 😆 And i felt we have to celebrate their biggest day, so this one for our beloved baji and roops..a marati weddin number from english vinglish

Umm, poor naku not getting much help from her darpok pati 😛 [chooha] on her Dday lol.. shravan is here, im sure he will live upto his name, devout and caring just like naku. Perfect family 'hum do hamare do' but hey wait, they are not following the latest National family welfare propoganda... it is no longer hum do hamare do, eighties ka slogan hai, we have moved on and the nineties slogan is 'beti ya ho beta, parivar ko rakhe chota' 😆 but luckily for them we are not rigid like china with population control.

Epilogue

This has to be the biggest of all the surprises uptil now and i totally welcome, Amba following in the footsteps of her dad, wow this is overwhelming really,.. cause the nation which empowers its women only deserve to be called civilised in the true sense. GOD! she is also a terror and Baji ka toh misery continues unabated 😆...now its bhao's pet amba shooting off orders a step ahead of her dad, yaar isko jo bhi milega woh gaya kaamse, lol and shravan turned out to be PT, now this is one too many coincidences to digest, kuch zyada filmy hogaya 😛 hammie looks like you were in a tearing hurry to get the UD done with .. im bein very candid kyun ki u like it this way, "Mujph par ek ehsaan karna, ke mujhpe koi ehsaan mat karna"

Mellowed, salt n pepper maned major, oops General 😉 aur hammie General hi kyun, is it the natural progression in the army ? LOL. Whatever he continues to dote on his naku and their teasing refusing to fade with time and age, bless the couple

Now coming to the dreaded part, the VIDAI of PR.. Unbelievable, its more than 1 1/2 YEARS, time has certainly flown. I still vividly remember my first comments a hesitating one lliner. I was a silent reader of the forum then. But PR forced me to express myself a bit more as i found it a breath of fresh air [oye no mooli dakars plzz which ur so generous in bestowing] and the style of your writing floored me. Gradually i gave wings to my thoughts sheddin my inhibitions. Hammie you are extremely gracious in acknowledging every reader with the same love and affection throughout. I am humbled by your kind words, cause infact it was me who was obsessed with the Ff and fridays come to stand for PR and nothing more nothing less. The first two threads i must have read atleast 5/6 times all over and if you remember at the very beginin had mentioned that this would be my first E-Novel.

In this journey we have come to know each other a bit more on a personal level but my love for your writing is above all that we share. Major's eccentric behaviour, shirty attitude, passionate love making, total dedication to profession and job at hand, perfect sibling, friend and offspring.. its like "ek baar jo maine commitment kardi, us ke baad toh mein khud ki bhi nahi sunta" his character is etched in my heart as if it was not a fiction. He will rule my heart n mind for long long time..

The moment i read your pm "LAST UD", was on the street walking towards my car and it distressed me so much that i lost my way almost 😛😳 .. first thing that struck me what life would be next friday onwards. It was anger, emptiness all mixed up. Even though you had warned me of the Ff nearing its closure nothing prepared me for this. But its also a reality that it had to happen. I take heart in that you will continue with your brilliant work.

Remember agar jaldi se doosri Ff shuru nahi toh, "Hum tumhare inbox me itne PM bhejenge ki confuse ho jaoge ki padhe konsa or konsa delete kare" 😆 sochle nahi toh "circus ke retired sher banjayegi" 😉

Life is indeed come 'One Full Circle' atleast for me, im at the same crossroads as i was 18mths ago, wondering... Hammie, hoping i can even bring one smile reading my take. Im ever greatful to you for tolerating my nonsense for so long not to forget the many transgressions.. it was all in good humour and my love for ur work. I will end my comments with this quote; even if its fashionable to say,.."Dosti ka ek usool hai madam, no sorry, no thank you"
