Dear Shyamala Di!
Excuse me too, I saw the reply late! I also answer late. 😳 I hurt one's knee drawing blood, home everything upside down ...
I'm very glad, that I can communicate with you again! I missed! I don't wrote to you personally, so as not to disturb the need for an answer! Communication with you is always so interesting, that it doesn't matter, how much you linger with the answer. The main thing is your answer will be with a precise, subtle, acute and insightful analysis.
Thank you for your kind words.

You are spot on with all of this, Zhanna. Just look at the horrible way in which the ISIS, which claims to represent pure Islam, is selling captured Yazdi girls online! As for the Shehzaade, he would have been far less angry with Khalil if he had brought him the original farman, but to be fair to him, I do not think he would have ever condoned what Khalil did to Durga. It is not remorse, it is regret for something that he would see as sinful, haram, having been committed in his name. He was a strict Muslim, and he would never have committed any such crime himself, whatever the gain from it.
I too have read at least one of Rafael Sabatini's novels, it was called Anthony Wilding. It was, as I remember, fun, rather like Baroness Orczyis The Scarlet Pimpernel.

I'm a little confused, you are about the real Aurangzeb or Shahzade?
I agree with you that he would never have committed such a sin (haram) and Farman for him in the first place. I just think, that Khalil had previously done such things, but it was with ordinary the women. And, of course, Khalil behavior casts a shadow on Shahzade. It turns out that he approves or encourages such behavior. Rape he wouldn't have done,but he let go Durga out of his harem, if he would not be threatened with the loss of his reputation?
Previously we have published only the novels about captain Blood. But now there's this novel too. I'll read it, thank you.
"The Scarlet Pimpernel" also was not published, was only a movie, watched it in fragments 10 years ago. It turns out, that this character engrossed in reading young Nabokov . Searching the internet, there is the publication of this book in 2012, but in a review complaining about a bad translation.
This film recalled me"Chouans or Brittany in 1799." Balzac. I loved to read Balzac in childhood (almost all 24 tomes), beginning at 10 years and my brother very indignant that it's too early.

I could not agree with you more. Heera is strong and resilient and very brave, and also, something that is equally important, has a strong dose of good sense

I lacked such Jodha in the show after Mathura! Although I still have several reasons to justify Jodha in the first series, but your work wasn't in vain 😃, I have to agree, a lot of it was illogical, silly, outrageous. And Jalal which often crying then, and become indecisive, lose his perspicacious wit... But Rajat Tokas and this the disgraceful was played at altitude.

Lashykanna,

Yes, I know that I am a week late, but that is nothing new, is it ,my pet? Anyhow, here I am, to respond to some of the outstanding points in this post before I begin to think of what I should write about your delicate Akbar-Heera minuet in Chapters 9 & 10.

No please take your time... I am glad you're giving your wrists a break!😳 Are they better than last week, now?

Well, that I care a lot about Akbar and Heera goes without saying, for however much I love the tadka provided by your supporting cast, the main dish is the main dish! What I like the best about your lead pair, something I will most likely reiterate in my next post, is that they are so normal. I have had it up to my neck with hate to love narratives of the Jodha Akbar kind, where the reactions, especially of the leading lady, are so infuriatingly OTT long after there is any reason for it, that one simply wants to clout her. Your Heera is, to use an old fashioned term, a lady, not a shrewish, mahaanta-soaked know it all, and I am so grateful for that!
Awww thanks Periyamma.. Loved the bolded line 😉
Oh, I adore him! I was a reasonably good rider myself during our training course at the National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie, and I think a beautiful high bred horse is one of the noblest things in creation.
Yes... nearly as useful as the cow... nearly(??) as loyal as the dog... nearly as magnificent as a tiger! I've read before that you were a good rider.. during the JA days.. must be such a good experience 😊

Quite right, Lashykanna, I goofed up there! I should not have done that.
But this said, why should Akbar feel that Heera would be suspicious of the transaction between his man and a stranger behind the marketplace? It could have been anything at all, nothing to do with Heera and her entourage. Why does he feel the need to explain anything at all? His man could be going to so many places and doing so many odd things for him that she would not understand. Where is the need for him to clear his name?
It led up...from the previous conversation... he had no need to explain, but he did... it is true, he said something he wouldn't have generally said... but, like how at the canal, she explained herself (the blindness) by saying something she mightn't have ordinarily said - possibly not to any another stranger - and this, just so he doesn't mistake her... similarly, he ended up explaining himself about something he wouldn't have said to anyone else...
Besides, even if she hadn't said anything before, why else would a heiress have a man (she had no connection with) investigated, unless she was fearful for her own safety? So, part of it was maybe an unwitting instinct to express that she needn't fear for her 'life' - not from him...
Of course, while having been unusually, yet momentarily impulsive about saying that - he was also prudent enough to say it only because he knew that that is the information her guard would come back with...and because it also gave him a sort of 'upper-hand' when letting her know of it himself... it could also be to catch any change in expressions/voice as he said it - to gauge her stance upon it all? To see if she would believe his story, maybe?
Well, Lashykanna, Queen Victoria of Great Britain, who ruled from 1837 to 1901, was never known for her sense of humour, and as she grew older, she became more and more tetchy. So, when someone said something even remotely funny in her presence that did not appeal to her, which was most of the time, she squashed him or her with an acerbic, using the royal plural, 'We are not amused!'
Now, I am amused 😆
I knew some of this - about the Damascene blades and the Toledo steel- already, child, from the novels of Sir Walter Scott and Alexandre Dumas. I dug up the rest now to brief myself. So it is I who should thank you!
Thanks periyamma 🤗 thank you so much

Thank you for flagging this for me, as I had not spotted it as yet. My comments are in blue, under your bold italicised black!

My dear Zhanna,

First things first. I hope your knee is healing well. It becomes tough to walk with a badly bruised knee. It used to happen to me so often in my school and college days when I used to bike to school/college and sometimes fell down.

Yes, I meant the historical Aurangzeb. As for Lashy's Shehzaade, one has to see what shades of character she gives him as the tale proceeds. I do not think the historical Aurangzeb was much interested in women, not as much as his predecessors, in any case.

I am glad you agree with me about Jodha and about Jalal as well. That was a bad case of a potentially very good lead pair ruined by an abysmal script.

I have read much more of Emile Zola, in the original, than of Honore de Balzac, except Mon cousin Pons. He was of course a very famous literary figure. Rodin had done a magnificent full figure sculpture of Balzac, as I remember.

Dear Shyamala Di!

Thank you very much for your sympathy and I am very hope that your hands and fingers don't hurt!! My body is apparently also decided to remember youth.

The knee isn't very good. The problem is even not in the wound, inflamed ligaments. I have to walk with a walking stick. The most important, I can drive a car. When I driving, I forget about any pain. It seems to me, if I'm die and put into my hands of the key to the car, I'll drive myself to the cemetery itself. We have a big city, sometimes turns out for a few hours on the road on affairs .

I read about Aurangzeb. If not for his policy against the Hindi and many wars... He was an interesting person.

I always admire people with linguistic abilities. For my grandmother French was as a second mother tongue. She knew about 9 languages, 6 perfectly. I haven't such talent, alas.
I read a lot of Zola, he was a great writer. But apparently 12 years isn't the age for read. For me, his novels have been very tragic. In addition, in our country loved writers with "socialist realism." And I had on these words "idiosyncrasy". 😛 The fact that Zola was also a great person with a civil position, I learned later.

Shuamala Di! Thank you again! I'm glad that many things, despite the different countries, we have the points coincidence, and another things is opening for me! I have remembered so many things thanks to you, which is quite forgotten or lost in the turmoil of everyday life! At school I liked the works of Rodin. But the story Claudel is very sad.
