Dear JZee,
I'm a courteous PM-checker, a moody ass and a loyal reader - just thought I should enlighten you, for if we take these acknowledgements in account, you'd certainly realize I take a long time to read sometimes, so you gotta pardon me for my perennial delays.
This piece descended from the last one, I like how there is this gracious flow in the events of the story, the characters do not dispatch but they are tucked together all the way. The library encounter warmed the cockles of my heart, you've beautified your sole idea of the scenario with your mesmerizing use of words and the dialogue, the latter has smitten me, Anant and Navya are sarcasm fans here. This was a rather amusing update where the characters, I found emerging as themselves, breaking free from the otherwise monotonous aura bout them, like exam for Navya and jobs for Anant. I'm not a long-chapter fan, but honestly, I wasn't pained to read ahead and once bored, you are a miraculous writer, uh. I like plot of your story, I like the theme, and the atmosphere. It is indeed different from the show, poles apart but that's what is refreshing to me, the show's been oppressive off late, whereas it's a treat to visualize Anant and Navya over here.
The wrap-up bar scene was funny, but the former took the cake! Two things caught my eye:
'Frosty glare' - This is a beautiful metaphor.
'To Shakespeare,' - this is definitely irrelevant of Navya, but her drunken dismay and effing annoyance showed, this was almost as funny as Anant's remarks in the library.
Well done, I have proudly made up for the delay.
Happy travelling!
Kankshita
