That was.. interesting.

These "overdue" books could not possibly be the ones she dumped in the box, right? 😆
(LOL! Of course not, sheesh! Boys, will be boys, will be boys, is a highly exaggerated assessment of the male species anyway 😆 )

Anant is being extremely unprofessional - not that I mind, of course :P I think the pace is good because these filler chapters, as you call it, developed a more 3D image of the characters. So Anant has no stable job, he is a musician, only works because it's necessary to sustain his living and he moves around quite a lot. Navya, on the contrary, knows exactly how her life works - it's almost like a routine. For instance, when she got that email she immediately started tracing back to the possibilities - what she would have done. I don't think Anant is like that.. he seems more take-life-as-it-goes.. maybe im wrong?

Oh I could give you a big tight hug this second! I suppose the best way to compliment another's work, is to actually spot and point out the very things they had hoped would subtly glare at the reviewers!
I was going to write that in my A/N in the beginning - that I'm trying to develop the characters here, peeling off their many layers one at a time - hence this filler seeming chapter, but then I just didn't say. And I feel so elated reading your comment! You've got a lot of stuff bang on, and its very encouraging to me (:
Also, between your last comment, and this one, I'm coming to assume you have a thing for closely observing the character sketches - at that, you and I have a staunch common! I'm a strong believer of the role character build ups play in making a hit (or not) out of any piece of fiction. Characters immortalize stories, don't they?!

I've been pondering for a while so I might as well just ask - why 'Shakespeare in love'? & Is that line from Macbeth symbolising Anant cooking up a meeting with Navya? Is it going to lead to trouble? Or is it because that one encounter last night is leading on to more meetings..? I haven't read Macbeth so I'm just wondering :)

So the title is namesake the Layla Kaylif song, as I said at the very start. In essence, I chose it because of one way to look at Shakespeare - the man, and not Shakespeare the legend. So let's say the man Shakespeare had fallen in love and we were tracing his love story - a man who been there done that for nearly every experience he believes life could have thrown at him. He's a self convinced knows life for what it is and calls a spade a spade - but he's never realized that falling in love - for all his knowledge of it - can still cast a whole new world of revelations upon his very expansive understanding of humans, their psyches, and their love stories!

Does that make sense? This is not a subjective treatment of William Shakespeare. It's only my line of thought in objectively imagining a contemporary version of Shakespeare falling in love 😳

Also, er, I'd like to sum up something of Macbeth for you, but can I recommend you Wiki it instead? Trust me, its a good summary of the gist - and while Macbeth shall have no straight consequences on this FF, or its characters, I was only using it as a tool to A) bring out some character shades to Navya, and B) now, just ripping off a line from it, on Anant's account - for he imagines this girl to be nothing but trouble - a challenging trouble. I'll let the rest come in the chapters, by and by (as fast as it comes to me (: )

I liked it, but im now left with a craving for the confrontation. Bring that soon please!

Aww thank you Ammie 🤗 You're awfully lovely to say that - and I shall graciously take your compliment, who doesn't love being told they're good at something?! 😆

No seriously, I'm very excited about the reviews on this story - because I considered a huge gamble to write a fiction which was a far cry from the real show's storyline and characters. It's very encouraging to me, to find it well received (:

Shall update the next chapter soon!

YES! ur spot on! Even if I don't relate to the character, as long as i can understand where they are coming from - vecause I try t be as little judgemental as I can of people - then I begin to forget they are just characters. It's like I live with. I know that sounds a little schizophrenic but I'm pretty sure it's not that uncommon :P In my most fav books, I often hurt the most at the end of the book cos it just makes me sad. The characters lurk around my life for a few days then im back to normal - but of course the characters leave a profound effect in my life. Is it the same for you or am I just a tad crazy?

I'm so glad this is encouraging to you; I was afraid that I might be talking nonsense.. just reading too much into the story.. but I always assume that whatever the effect, the writer does it intentionally.

About the penultimate paragraph, yes it makes sense! Thank you. & that was very thought-provoking. So who's Shakespeare in our story - Navya or Anant? :P Okay, that was a little cheeky... I guess i'll wait and see for myself :P

Yes, i'll make touch with Wiki soon about that Macbeth summary :) Tell you what, you give me an update and I'll read the Macbeth synopsis just before.

Thanks for the comment Anushka - and I might never say enough of what a pleasure reading it was! (:
