@ bold - you are too sweet.l,aapke muh mei Gulan jamun aur Jalebi,
I think she is a phenomenal writer, I agree YKS is far more moving - there is something extremely vulnerable in all the characters in YKS that she was able to achieveโฆthey touch a chordโฆ. Itโs also the world she creates in her stories!
In YKS I love love Hira Maniโs character, there is something so positive, so beautiful about her. She has lost as much as everyone else in that family, they are broken, but she isnโt. She lives and laughs for her son. Itโs so subtly shownโฆitโs just brilliant. Everyone else is human, but Hiraโs character is a little above and yet never overdone or unbelievably unbearable.
In DYD I find OBโs character quite problematic in the way he treats Maya Aliโs character, but her writing manipulates us into buying his love, he never wavers from his beliefs.AND importantly Maya Aliโs character has a voice that is meaningful, relatable. But the brilliantly done part is the dialogue on emotional manipulation that Maya Aliโs character tells her uncle about her own mother. It is so well done. Never seen such a dialogue and writing in any show before. And of course the stoic and classy nature of Hareemโs character is chefโs kiss.
Have you read her novels??? I hear they are phenomenal.
