Res to read after crazy day ahead! 🤗🤗 Unres (*sheepish me*):
I know we have agreed to dispense with formalities of sorries and thank yous but I feel frustrated at having had to wait for so long before commenting but I didn't want a rushed job with people screaming urgency on the side!
I am so glad you finished the last quartet of the Elements series, which you know I love a lot. And also, that this one deals with Lakshya, post redemption. Actually, Anna, Shruti and I were discussing this the other day, they have done such a good job of redeeming Lakshya in the show, I can scarce believe I like this character now! He really fills the space that was so missing IMO- that of Sanskaar's much needed friend and also a support system now to Swara, given the otherwise truly negative influences that the show seems to endlessly focus on so much 🤢.
As usual, written with your customary finesse, this was such a great read for various reasons. One of it was the obvious- that is truly detailed Lakshya's changed feelings and in fact transformed psyche but in such a believable and logical way- as I know we can always rely on from you and your excellent pieces. Loved the linking of the childhood prediction made for Lakshya, which though hidden from the parents, came true for a part of his life. I particularly love reading about the interaction of fate vs will and have often had huge debates with people on this point. Here, the way his life did go awry in that way and all the unsavoury effects of being a true air sign came to pass but in the end, he regained his balance and restored order, not only to himself, but also helped with others, particularly SwaSan. Fantastically done sis 👏👏. I just found it fascinating to read his very believably changing emotions here- people CAN and DO change if they WANT to- shown here perfectly.
I felt Lakshya's totally understandably palpable frustration and loathing of his evil wife. It seriously made me feel so sorry for him 😭. Now that he's so beautifully redeemed, it crashes home that he was never truly evil like Ragini is and he so deserves much better than her. I also like this Lakshya- being able to control himself despite the obvious struggle to curtail her nasty and vindictive gloating! I so wish this "air" would turn into a cyclone and carry the Viper away to a far far off place, never to be found again! 😆
Now coming to the parts to love best! SwaSan! I was so so disappointed with the way the CVs let us down (yes, again!) on the show in terms of the reaction we all wanted to see from Sanskaar after he found Swara almost strangled. The episode when he first sees her showed the most incredibly moving reaction and then the next day- total let down and focus shift to more stupid drama! So this was the balm and how wonderfully you applied it. The whole reaction of Sanksaar brought tears to my eyes, I could feel his pain and fear burst from the page. And Swara being recalled to life literally by her subconscious, tied to him and activated by his voice was so incredibly moving, I was truly overcome! I also loved the scene of Sanskaar crying in her arms- the whole thing so beautiful and almost spiritual. Plus, the way Lakshya was so moved but not in a jealous or mean way, was lovely too.
Another little touch but one that truly made an impact for me was the whole scene between the brothers and in particular Sanksaar not remembering a word of his ramblings and Lakshya not forgetting! 👏 This is so so true and I have experienced this at a particularly bad time with my mum so I could instantly relate and it really moved me.
All in all, of course no surprise that I loved it! I have read and re-read a few times in the midst of the week from hell and it was such a hope-giving piece! Love you loads sis xoxoxo
