Beautiful! Amazingly referenced! I loved the pov & imaginstion & the tantalising nostalgia for what might have been (but is not, just an illusion), in Palace of Illusions.
And… I am delighted to find a fellow Grorgette Heyer romance fan 🤩 love her books, oen & reread many of them. I had also noted the parallels of RaYa with the marriage in A Civil Contract. But I think that marriage never reached the kind of depth & passion that RaYa are discovering.
Awww. Thank you! ❤️
I only took the quotes from The Palace of Illusions. I always knew there is something more than what meets the eye in the first episode. If you look at parallels, then on Holika Dahan episode too, Ram is in black and Viper in dark magenta. The realization of the ending of an illusory journey. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's quote came to mind with the lightning scene where V took the step back without hugging him. Indeed, divine intervention.
Georgette Heyer. I am not a die-hard fan, but I read many of her books. I liked Sophie's Choice. So, while writing the piece, I remembered there is a garden scene where Jenny and Adam would have this moment when Adam will talk about Julia being an impractical dream. You are right, Pri is NOT Jenny, but the quote was appropriate for my piece.
Tere Ram pe pehle likhi.
