Hair blowing...and a small diabolical scornful smile traced on her lips...and yet the ghost of tears sliding down her cheeks.Come on...somebody with her brains has to admit she made a poor choice in Laksh---and yet, she made her own bed and will lie on it.I dunno kinda desperate love, which is like an obsession. Even when you know its not good at all..its ruining you, still you need it. like a drug.and of course even though she has committed crimes..there has to be a soul which is a bit unfeeling. its got what it wanted and cannot waste time on regret. does not want to, maybe.that would be too romantic of me...because the Ragini in the show has become a constant offender now---and one repeatedly and undeservedly forgiven while her sister suffers mistrust for no valid reason at all🤢.Sanskaar cannnot grab at swara's love for the very reason you pointed out...he is insecure that his past offence may have rendered him invalid to achieve the love of an angel. a dumb angel, but thats just us of course.🤢thanks for understanding so well.😃
Dear Medha,
Nynaeve is my favourite character from the Wheel of Time series - so I am happy if you address me as Nyna.
Thanking you for taking time to read and reply to my post - I am new to this forum so this makes me feel welcome.
Though I am a staunch fan of Swasan, I cannot help feel a little sorry for Ragini (such a complex and layered character with so many shades of grey) - her major fault being to love Lakshya and being unable to let go. You description of her standing alone is so true and a little chilling (which is apt considering that she has no real feelings left and is quite cold). The most tragic thing is that she is aware of how wrong she is and how helpless or unwilling she is to stop. She is truly on her way to hell, with no stops at purgatory and no chance at redemption.
"Falling in love is like holding a candle. Initially it lightens up the world around you. Then it starts melting and hurt you. Finally it goes off and everything is darker than ever and all you are left with is the.. BURN!" *
And coming to our sweet albeit dumb Swara - please wake up before Sanskar says "I may not be someone's first choice but I am the best choice. I don't pretend to be someone I am not, because I am good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I have done in the past but I'm proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect but I don't need to be. Take me as I am or watch me walk away."**
