SwaSan OS: Finding Our Way Back Into Love

Hai

So many feels here yaar----Res for now. Will be back later. How can someone love like Sanskaar does...

And Kissan certainly IS growing on all of us, nai? 😆 😉 Despite his atrocious dance and even more atrocious attire. VK, VK...what have you done to the female population, yaar...😆

Un-Res

Hey Lanny...🤗 🤗

Back for my (delayed) Un-res, I know no thanks and no sorry rules apply (our Sunny Boy's hallowed principles of friendship 😳)--so not saying Sorry. 😉

What I love about your writing in many of your pieces, is the way you blend your trademark wit and humor, with a very palpable emotional touch. The blend is really very endearing.

In this piece, loved the way Kissan is obviously guiding Swara to come to the right conclusion about Sanskaar; gently, (if with dollops of ironic, laconic humor), nudging her in the right direction. Echoes of Kanha Ji being the skilled charioteer for Arjun. 😊 😊

Yaar...you are making it so very hard for me to decide if I adore Sanskaar in his Sunny boy avatar or his Kissan avatar more, now! 😆 😉 (In FF/SS/OS, I mean...In the serial, I am keeping my fingers crossed that they don't royally screw up the Kissan track).

In between all those sparkling dialogues, there were some extremely appealing emotional nuggets---inserted with your customary finesse and deft touch. That chocolate moment was a case in point---Kissan's heart melting, seeing Swara in floods of tears, hunting for a chocolate in his multiple pockets of those garish red trousers 😆 😳, and then having a sheen of tears in his eyes when Swara fed him a piece. 😭

And the way Kissan explained that Sanskaar must be truly in love with Swara, especially those paras where he highlighted why he must have left home, put his mom into so much emotional distress just to ensure his wife was feeling comfortable---those were top notch. As was the last para, where he subtly, but in a very meaningful dialogue, mentions that there must be a reason why Swara has held on to a memory of Sanskaar, out of all the other possible ones from the previous one year, which she could have retained. To the extent that she even forgot Shekar was her father, and Ragini her half sister...but she recollected Sanskaar's countenance. That logic, of people having their entire life flash before their eyes at the moment they think they are going to draw their last breath...was superb.

As we discussed over our PM exchange, I was completely floored by your dialogues. A huge, huge round of 👏 to you yaar. It all felt so very real, the flow of the completely Hindi dialogues was simply outstanding. Like I said, it was evident you had thought out the entire set of exchanges in Hindi. Too good. Many of those one liners were so full of sparkling wit, they had me chuckling with mirth all through my reading.

"Kya yehi hain aap ke sanskaar" 😆 🤣; "Arre, kahe ka khooni, Madam Ji, Bhondu hain ek number ka"🤣🤣🤣; "ghonchu ne khud apna ghar chod diya". 🤣🤣

Sanskaar/Kissan calling himself bhondu and ghonchu made me go ROFL, both during my first and second reading, as well as now when I am typing this comment. 😆 You know, for a moment there I was wondering if in a small corner of his mind, Sunny boy does feel he is an ek number ka bhondu, for letting himself do all this? 😉 😳 That man, I tell you. So iron willed, with a heart large enough to do the craziest things, not because he has to, but because he wants to. And in return, he gets hysterical cries of "khooni, khooni"...😕😕

Two other subtle nuances which I loved: Swara's feeling of distress and puzzlement, despite herself almost, as to why Sanskaar left home. She doesn't want to feel any concern, any empathy for him. But somewhere within, in a corner of her heart she would rather not talk about, she does feel bad. She does feel very guilty for causing Sanskaar pain--and not just Sujju!

And the other one---Sanskaar's flare of anger and possessiveness, at Swara's mention of Mr Dead wood. Sunny boy, bring out that chain saw, and chop this one to the ground. You have our blessings (despite the fact that I am an environment protection freak. 😊) This particular wooden block has been afflicted with root rot. It needs to go, pronto!! 😆😆

Wonderful work, Lanny!

Loads of Love,

This is awesome Lanny 🤗hope the CVS for a change use their brain and give us a track along these lines, kissan should be like her conscience nudging her along to the right direction!

Brilliant 😊 😊... Humor, emotions and little bit of romance in all right combinations. I loved how Kissan recreated Sanskar by his little actions - like tissue, chocolate and the 'dosti mein..' line - but all in a new avatar. It was hilarious when he called himself a ghochu and bhondu 😆 I literally ROFLed at 'kya yahi hai apke Sanskar?' [ROFL] My mind was saying, absolutely Swara, that is your Sanskar..behind the hideous rockstar cover :).. Loved how he was convincing her. I am speechless how much he loves her ❤️
Do write more 😊

Lanny *hugs* (typing from phone so not best with emos!)

This was such a great way to start my day. As with all of of your writing, this is a perfect blend of balanced and yet effective humour but also full of some very real and poignant feelings. Kudos for that as its so easy as a writer to overdone one or the other but you never do.

I so enjoyed reading this! I've already told you so sorry for repeating but here goes! I found this Kissan so very endearing and exactly how I would want him to be on the show. He's still Sanskaar underneath that terrible wig and the hilariously garish get up. He understands Swara and as she's not screaming khooni at him irrationally he can achieve wonders. In the show too I so so want to see Kissan play that bridging gap in making Swara clear that awful confusion in her head which is causing her to make the terrible mistakes she is and will continue to by keeping Sanskaar at bay. I know you penned the very effective dialogues in Hindi but they had that rustic feel just right and I could so hear Kissan saying them. Overall the whole interaction made me smile but also brought out the sadness of their situation and also showed yet again how amazing a man Sanskaar is, regadless of what guise he dons. There were so many lovely feels here, and it was pitched perfectly as it was still about SwaSan and Sanskaar despite being about Kissan, which I hope makes sense!

Oh small point but I loved that flare of anger about Sahil that Kissan had! So want to see Sanskaar/ Kissan really resolute and making sure Mr third wheel psycho is put firmly in his box- grrr!

Those lyrics are perfect as I told you already and in the present situation a perfect fit for the conundrum that is SwaSan's tangled relationship- lovely! The whole thing was as sweet as that chocolate meaningfully shared at the end and the whole subtle reminder to their "no sorry no thank you" rule.

Lots of love,
