A novel that had us totally mesmerized from the word go, never letting the momentum dip even for a moment until the pulse-racing climax.👏

Not only did our beloved master storyteller charm us with her words, she also cast her spell through the brilliant visuals of the intriguing chapters that simply blew us away.

To relive the novel in pictures, let’s pay a visit to the HBAS gallery .




Just so beautiful to see all the edits in the one single post !

Thank you, Rose ! 🤗

It’s not just a historical novel or a any simple love story..... but it’s a reality check for our society.....it’s teach us life lesson.😳

Humanity is much bigger than any caste, creed and religion. 😊

It much us belief that world is beautiful place.... many many good people out there who ready to help selflessly. ❤️

God is up there when ever we need him..... if not today but one day our all good deeds paid off.

If whole world against you but still you are fighting all alone for good then nobody can beat you!⭐️

Hats off to the lashy di for carrying this story for three years and presented to us in a brilliant way....so much that story leads became part of our life.... we laughed and cried with them at same time praying for their victory.....if something bad happened to them we felt their pain and suffering. 😳

All thanks to lashy di brilliant writing.... who make any character alive for us.⭐️

Everyone waited patiently for each chapter and talked about it every single details..... it’s so much fun .

She always make sure readers connect with the story.... she make it realistic. 👏

So much of hard work and research.....she answered every question of the readers. 👏

She make second home for us.... build with so much of love and care.❤️

What a wonderful thing this is Aunty 👏

HBAS for me is not only a novel, it has been a major landmark in my life.

I have actually lived the lives of the various characters throughout this period.

I have shed tears beside Durga baisa’s brutalised lifeless body 😒 I have cursed the beast Khalil along with the Parnagarh folks 😡 I have marvelled at Heera’s healing cognitive abilities 😲 Like Heera I have gradually fallen hopelessly in love with the stranger who extracted 4 dams from her for water ❤️ and I have felt goosebumps on my person while he threw knives to make a ladder to help her out of the canal 😲

I have looked on lovingly seeing the camaraderie between Khan Sahib and his men 😳 and I have loved the way he’s not only mentored but been a parent to most of them. I have also loved the respect and single minded devotion that the men have for their Ustaad

I have loved the beautiful relationship between chachajaan and his son Akbar and thought for hours about how lucky both of them were to find each other I remember by heart each sacrifice that Chachajaan must have made to care for and bring up Akbar into the fine man that he is. And I’m aware of each tear that would have been shed during this momentous journey 😭

I beat witness to the turmoil that Khan Sahib faced at the moment when his heart chose Heera as its own ❤️ and I also bear witness to the pain that his heart bore when she came up to him, and, alas, he had to spurn her 😭

How can I ever forget the day when Heera came to the stables to treat an ailing Bahadur 😳 oh! the havoc she created in Sahib’s heart or that day in Parnagarh when Samarth Banna got to know about Harka Baisa’s betrothal with Kunwar Mahender 😭

I rode along with Sahib right from the dingy fly infested sarai till the capital and then to the forest in search of the Shehzaade so that he could stop Khalil the barbarian yet again 😭 Gosh! That day when Sahib confessed to his Huzoor about his feelings for the Sahiba 😲 I could see that blood was boiling in Huzoor’s eyes and yet he restrained himself And the arrow that hit Khalil 😲 it whizzed past my ear!

And the pilaf cooked by Sahib 😲 and his demonstrations of simplicity 😊

I felt sad at Heera’s Predicament- poor girl got a huge shock when she learnt about the Ustaad 😭 but I was among the group that celebrated their wedding the loudest 🥳What a grand affair it was!! And the cherry on the cake was the poem that he recited impromptu ❤️

Heera’s doubts and fears and Akbar’s frustrations 😔 I have the full record of their First Night too 😉

I can also never forget the many moments of togetherness that Khan Sahib and Heera shared. Some before they spoke out loud about their feelings and many after that 😳 I blushed every time Heera blushed and felt the same warmth that Heera felt while she was enveloped in her lover, her Sahib’s all encompassing embrace

I felt a new hope when Sahib stood in the woods with the plan of the Canal Project in his hands and I felt morose soon after, when Sahib got to know of the developments in the capital relating to Heera’s scrolls 😭

I remember the patterns and the number of tassels that the curtain of the Solitary Confinement room had and I’m privy to the cheap manoeuvres of Farooq Sahib too 😡 I shed copious tears when Heera left for the Capital and her folks gave her cold shoulder. But my heart swelled with pride when I saw the human shield Ibrahim Sayyid and other Sahib’s men created around her to keep her safe 🤪

I remember the dignity with which Harka Sahiba handled herself in the Mughal Court and I’ve felt the pain she endured during that ordeal 😳 I’m privy to the price she paid - not only with her jewels but also with her pride 😭

I mourned for days when Ustaad was lashed 😡 and cursed the Huzoor no end for his brutal and disgusting act. And I know of his feeble ego and completely warped sense of self gratification that must have led him to do this barbaric act 😡

I sat at the edge of my seat during both duels, with my eyes glued to the arena, taking 1-2 glances at the lady in the blue veil in between. And I jumped high in joy when Ustaad was granted his well deserved win

I hugged everyone around when Heera was reunited with her Sahib - kya Parnagarhi kya men of Ustaad 🥳both sides are my eternal family

So thanks Lashy Sahiba for enriching my life with so many wonderful emotions and so so so many wonderful friends

🤗

👍🏼What an outpouring of emotions- deserving of a standing ovation, Lavanya!🤗

The Plight of a Grandma.

(Based on the poem,"Story Telling" from the internet)


Every night when Baby and Bablookutty are in bed

After both their little prayers have said

They shout for me to come to their room

And the stories of bedtime to resume

Mostly of Jodha and Jalal going to the war

Or Jalal killing the tiger with his kanjar

Always such stories of 'dvenchur!

And I must narrate them with patience

Answering umpteen odd koschuns

About how Mohan was killed by uncle Jalal

And how Jodha'kka, killed the 'nemy with masala

If in the story comes a prince

That he is a hero I must convince

And show how he fights dishyum dishyum

How the enemies he'd thus overcome!

And at last came to me a great relief

The TV serial ended to my utter disbelief

Then the kids started to throw tantrums

Since they'd become part of Jalal's fandom

While all my efforts to please them failed

They simply kept awake and wailed..

They would whisper, "Grandma, we want Jalal's story"

And once again I'd start telling his glory

Thus again starting the second innings

They'll listen to it always with interest and grinning.

When I got fed up with repeating the same

There appeared a new story in the Forum

It had all the twists and turns

That the kids would love to listen

The kids soon fell into the groove

Started to love Akbar and his Bahadur

All that happened in no time so to say

To my cheer and the kids chosen way

This continued for quite some time

When the kids loved the stories bedtime

Alas one day the story reached the final chapter

With the ending "And they lived happily ever after.."

The kids are happy about the end

But grandma misses all her friends

Both in the house and in the story author has penned!

KK.

🤗

Awww! Grandma, our beloved author is taking a much-needed break. Once she has rested well, I am certain she will be back with another great story and then happy days will be back again on the thread.❤️

Utterly sweet of you to make this fantastic HBAS appreciation thread, Periyamma.❤️🤗
