been awake through yet another night, sorting out my own stuff...to be honest, its mostly a consequence of my ill managed time...i can do better any day, but distractions are hard to keep away, specifically when end of term is two weeks away and work is at an absolute peak...still, i wont rid myself of a blame i deserve...
anyways, i decided i could treat myself to 'sookies' (read: your creations!) every time i reached another milestone on my final goal...just finished reading this one...
i can never deny your talent will bringing about a point, and drilling it deep in the most subtle way....but, i wont say this was my favorite from you...mostly i think, in how my mind comprehends the concept you dealt with...somewhere i had a hard time coming to terms with ridhima being the peaceful poise girl always, and then losing her peace to this particular case alone...perhaps what i want to say is, that when you went through describing armaan's reaction to her twice repeated spelling out of his name, i thought her real issue, when placed against the character background you sketch for her, came in as a tad bit of an anti climax....
which is a contradiction so to say...since the fact that things dont always get to her and did this once should be reason to freak him out.....but i can still not figure why she was as exceedingly unsettled only this particular time....other than the fact of course, thats its the only time you dealt with for the vignette....im not certain if im making my point as i intend to...but i reckon the jist lies in the fact that i was expecting...either a different issue from her, or a different char sketch defining her to fit this???
all of that however, can't undo that i adored your writing as always...i hate myself to repeat the same thing in mere difference of expression for each short story, but your knack with words makes me smile, every single time!
cheers, until i take my next break and read one more :)
