smits! have i told you b'fore what a pleasure it is to read your story every weekend? no matter how i am before i start reading it, by the end of it, i'm alive again. and this week's set is a perfect example of how stories should be told: super continuity on all the threads that matter; super consistency with all the characters that matter while allowing them all to grow into new people at every step of the way. prem-heer's love story; the juneja parents; meher flashbacks (to show how nice she is); mr. r-ass flashbacks (to show how ... er... how do you say stoooopid without sounding really mean? 😆)
Hey E! 😉 Good to see you and glad u liked how the things are progressing. I almost did not sleep all night thinking just how you will be ripping Atul to shreds this week and guess I was not really disappointed. 😆 Such bitternesss, E!! 😆
thoughts that struck pcp and me:

* meher's flashback was interesting not so much in who she is, but in a feature of atul we honed in on:- he did all the ''expected'' things, no? i mean, it's like meher said 'bout his car -- ''it's soo typical.'' just like the girlfriend he's got. ''so typical'' - with waves of hair falling over her shoulders, and making statements that are mean in an empty sort of way? *btw, never liked the word ''bitchy'' although by now, it's the only one that probably fits here -- why dump so much negative connotation on a poor female dog, no?*
Of course he did all the expected things...because he did not know any better! 😆 And the girlfriend is typical, coz he knows they are no threat to his emotions and that he can walk away any time he wants to.
mr. r-ass' also mr. boring choices in life. and ya, ya, you'll say that is expected of a guy who is age 0.25 in the emotional growth department. and he is deliberately doing it 'cause of not wanting to be hurt. i'm not saying anything here, am i?? *mouthing ''reflexive ass!'' silently*
It is the truth...about him not wanting to get hurt! 😆😆 I mean I agree that he needs to grow up in that area fast...but reflexive ass or not I think everyone deserves to fall in love no?😆
* and oh, in sublime contrast - there's mr. tie-undone-hair-ruffled-like-he's-run-his-fingers-through-it-many-times prem. oh my, oh my, oh my. ya, i know it's actually oh heer's, oh heer's, oh heer's. but he's... such an adorable guy! how much he adores her. how much he will suffer himself for her. of course, since it's heer, it's not like his pains will not be rewarded. but still.... he's ... 😍 i'm soooo glad heer kissed him. for some reason, this (''a few minutes later'' kiss) would definitely make it to the top 5 kisses in destiny... seriously. 😍
Ah, I know..he is adorable. I had a few moments going...😍 Ooh, this one would make it to top 5?? 😉 I thought that kiss was so needed...!
and i like him even though he's a total control freak! and ordinarily that would drive me crazy. how, oh how, do you get me to like a control freak, smits? 😍 but i do hope he doesn't manage to keep heer away from the school and her responsibilities? ooh! maybe the doctor will be the one to take a firm handle on mr. i-want-to-gps-unit-you and tell him that heer without distractions would be more at risk than heer with distractions?
Oh but what a control freak, no?😉 Ooh, I think till they actually go see the doctor, I am afraid this is the way it is going and I don't think Heer is arguing at this point. I mean she got her way one time, so she is letting him have his way now...make sense?
and pcp wants to know how they're gonna keep the secret away from everyone if they shift rooms to a lower level at this stage -- won't everyone want to know why? and take paranoid care of heer anyway, then?
Umm...I think everyone at this point is feeling a little overprotective of Heer and I think they put it down to a first-time-dad syndrome or something...😃

* btw, i liked how you had prem be the one who made sure that the thali gayatri-mom was using didn't topple as she hugged heer... dunno why. but i did... 😆 Dunno why but that felt right...

* and
little phoooooh's already making his/her presence felt! mommy focusses on daddy just for a moment, feeling sad 'bout him. and little phooooh flutters to remind her why mommy-daddy have todo what they're doing. oh, i am so in love with little phoooooh, i can't tell you, smits. i love little phoooooh mostest of all in destiny. 🤗 I know right? This phooooh is going to be the cutest...I agree. 😍

* ewwwww! destiny's dirtchachi is as much of a slime as the show's! ewwww...! I know...😡

* damnit, smits! preet's already making forever after promises to ash -- why is she not feeling better??! damnit! 😕 i think ash just moved to #2 phool... 😕 *of course no one would take mr. r-ass' top spot... 🤣* I think Ash has more issues about self esteem that she needs to deal with. I think she will come around!
* er...
smits? on that last line. er... if you or mr. r-ass ever need any ... er ... professional assistance in getting him committed, you will call me, won't you??? i suspect i have a lot of ... expertise required in getting mr. r-ass committed. no, really! 😈 *feeling like i need some commitment involving straight-jackets myself to control the perpetual twitching my hands and fingers go through the moment mr. r-ass' name appears on destiny screens these days... 😆*
E...give the poor guy a break!! 😆😆 Everyone is entitled to make one goof up in life...and can't really blame him..there are people like him who are stubborn to see what is staring at them in the face!! OMG! He evokes all these reactions in you...?? 😆😆
w&r, smits. w&r. what a lovely story. 🤗 Thank you for reading E!! Take care!! 😉

Hai,

Sorry for commenting late but i'm very busy with my college work - they are hell bent on not giving us any leave.Ya, the practicals went off very well.
Congrats, ur second thread has almost reached 150 pages.
Hi Vrinda! Good to see you and to know that your practicals went well! 😃 Thanks dear!
Abt. the last update - after a very,very long time came the mention of DJ - hasn't changed a bit ,has she?
Felt sorry for Ash. Ash is so sweet that it makes me wonder how could she be DJ's daughter. Ash needs to provide for these ungrateful bunch of people in her life.And her comment on Preet-Meher irritated me equally as Ash. Preet fits to the T to be DJ's son-in-law bcos she needs someone as him to set her right - if only Ash gave him the right to - well ,she has no other option also.
I know..she has been out of commission for a while. No DJ has not changed even a bit. I think being with Heer and Meher has turned Ash the way she is. 😊
Atul & Balbir talk was cute & there goes our Stubborn man's resolution not to think abt Meher down the drain as his thoughts go back to that christmas preparations with Meher at his house. - but he wouldn't admit it one bit that he misses her though his eyes searched for all those people round the table along with him & his dad as was previously.Abt Neha - I don't want to talk abt her. Balbir is missing Meher - that was so sweet.
Yeah, Atul does not want to accept why Meher is having this effect on him! 😉 He is pretty stubborn, no. *sigh* But I think that will be the way for a little longer till he realizes what is wrong with him!!!😉 I know...Balbir is sweet..and yes, he misses Meher too!
Waiting for the next part - most probably in the new thread i suppose.right?
Once again sorry for commenting late.
No problem. I will see you at the new thread!
Bye.
Vrinda

me not bitter... or ripping to shreds!

well... *having the grace to look a little shamefaced* ... not ripping any more than is necessary...😆

Of course he did all the expected things...because he did not know any better! 😆

huh! why does he not know any better? didn't go to the right schools? didn't have the luck to hang out with the wonderful prem juneja? idjut.... *grumbling still...*

I mean I agree that he needs to grow up in that area fast...but reflexive ass or not I think everyone deserves to fall in love no?😆

oh, i suppose! although given the size of his emotional brain, does it have to be with a human?? 😆 *i think you missed the note i edit-add-ed -- we must've been editing/posting at the same time! how eerie-cool is that?* i mean, can't he just ... er ... hook up with a tree for life or s'thing? they may just be on the same emotional wave-length, no? *argh! i'm beginning to twitch again! sorry smits! but atul's ... made me angry. er... i don't suppose you can tell? 😆*

Ah, I know..he is adorable. I had a few moments going...😍 Ooh, this one would make it to top 5?? 😉 I thought that kiss was so needed...!

y'know what's tremendous 'bout this kiss? you just described how it began - and you describe how it ended (with heer nestled against his shoulder and how he feels different - in mood - from the beginning compared to the end). and it was asif nothing else needed to be said... i liked this kiss a lot. 😍

Oh but what a control freak, no?😉 Ooh, I think till they actually go see the doctor, I am afraid this is the way it is going and I don't think Heer is arguing at this point. I mean she got her way one time, so she is letting him have his way now...make sense?

yes, i guess. *sigh* so she really will let him keep her from her school work? what 'bout poor mrs... chitra? *sad muh*

Umm...I think everyone at this point is feeling a little overprotective of Heer and I think they put it down to a first-time-dad syndrome or something...😃


oh, ya! that's right! she did have a miscarriage! funny how that completely skipped my mind... all i could remember was that prem-heer are the only ones who know 'bout the danger involved in heer having a baby... hmm.. ya, so he would be able to slip that by everyone. hmm...

I know right? This phooooh is going to be the cutest...I agree. 😍

what scares me is that i think so even before it's born! i mean, even before the second trimester, damned it! 😆

I think Ash has more issues about self esteem that she needs to deal with. I think she will come around!

which i guess is something that i should remember. i guess i'm so used to having happy, loving families for the rest of destiny's folks that i keep forgetting that there is one rotten parent-egg in this story. poor ash. i'm really curious to see how her self-esteem will re-assert itself, blow itself up in preet's face, and then crumble to nothingness in face of preet's love. and out of all those explosions and crumbling, ash will emerge as a new person -- a phoenix out of the ashes, no? *sigh* i suddenly figure that i really do want to hear this love-story a lot. funny, is one that i've been happy 'bout keeping on the backburner for. even though it was the first one introduced after prem-heer... no? *musing on how smits manages such deft weaving of this magical story-tapestry... *

E...give the poor guy a break!! 😆😆 Everyone is entitled to make one goof up in life...and can't really blame him..there are people like him who are stubborn to see what is staring at them in the face!! OMG! He evokes all these reactions in you...?? 😆😆

one goof up?? one goof up, smits!?? now you're being partial to atul! but then you are his author -- how can his creator really really wanna give him a stiff one on the upside of his head, as he deserves!

that is not one goof-up! he's goof-ed up in not having seen all the damned love-stories that have been spinning softly under his nose ... like forever! his father, and the way he has remained a loving parent despite what was probably the traumatic loss of a beloved partner. his baby sister! right under his very nose. his every action has been a goof up in becoming a ... prem juneja look alike!

hmm... in trying to figure out why i can't bring myself to give mr. reflexive-ass a break *unless you are really talking 'bout the one that i wanna make in his skull! if i was not a gandhian, of course!* i guess i figure this: in the beginning, atul came 'cross soooo much like prem to me. i couldn't see anything different between them, except maybe for how large prem's eyes are. but now...?

now he's sooooo totally different! smits! you're teaching me how a superficial similarity can actually cover up deep differences! man! i so feel like i'm hearing mom's lecturing voice in my head reprimanding me for perpetually leaping to conclusions without all the evidence! *me shifting to super sulky mode for myself, and super admiring mode for what you've done with your characters in your story! 'kay me switching out of super sulky mode to fall to the ground to do obeisance to super-author smits... seriously! i take back what i said 'bout atul and prem earlier! no way they even look the same now! i mean, those long jackass ears sticking out of atul's hair would never suit prem! 🤣

Thank you for reading E!! Take care!! 😉

are you nuts??! why're you thanking me??! i'm just the one providing the side-entertainment by falling and getting (ugh!) egg on my face frequently! 😆
