@ 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 achieve…they touch a chord…. It’s also the world she creates in her stories!
In YKS I love love Hira Mani’s 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 isn’t. She lives and laughs for her son. It’s so subtly shown…it’s just brilliant. Everyone else is human, but Hira’s character is a little above and yet never overdone or unbelievably unbearable.
In DYD I find OB’s character quite problematic in the way he treats Maya Ali’s character, but her writing manipulates us into buying his love, he never wavers from his beliefs.AND importantly Maya Ali’s character has a voice that is meaningful, relatable. But the brilliantly done part is the dialogue on emotional manipulation that Maya Ali’s 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 Hareem’s character is chef’s kiss.
Have you read her novels??? I hear they are phenomenal.
