Hello All,

Lots of comments I see. 😊

@ Stillhopeful: there's something in your turns of phrase that's very effective; are you an academic too, perhaps?

😆

Hi Commentator:

May I call you "C"?? Please call me Hope.

Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately, I am not an academic. wish I was. reading posts from you and Kool are entertaining and intellectually inspiring.

My background is management and economics. In my line of work I do a lot of business/ professional writingand some creative writing too (i.e. speeches, promos, communication) which has required me to achieve clarity and conciseness. I could never be like Kool or you. That would require a certain personal flair and more importantly linguistic exuberance.

thanks anyways. keep writing. Will enjoy reading as usual.

hope

C you have written such a simple scene so beautifully. The CVs wont ever come up with such brilliant stuff.

Yes, I thought I saw some professional relationship with writing there.... how delighted we always are to have any suspicion of our own acuity confirmed! 😊

Well "personal flair" is good, thank you, but "linguistic exuberance".... hmm, I don't know whether to feel complimented or chastened. 😊 Exuberance of any sort, as you know, is to be abhorred in academic writing. If any of my colleagues came to know I'm writing FFs for a television serial audience, and that too pieces like "C'"s, all thwarted and panting desire, I'd be under a seriously dark intellectual cloud for the rest of my career.

😊

Some of the exuberance here is of course a function of the show's own shortcomings: Kool's writing seeks to inject humour and a sort of gender-correct jauntiness where neither is actually available on screen, and mine seeks to insist on the possibility / desirability of the carnal, something outside the apparently rarefied and frequently mawkish spiritual / higher moral level on which the lead pair communicates. Because the rarefaction, the higher morality, the scarily idealized gender equation are all larger than life - their love story has been presented as a modern version of the Ram-Sita myth - our attempts to counter it must, of necessity, be couched in larger than life terms too.

Interested in your views and hoping to see more posts from you. Reminders of the virtues of clarity and conciseness are always salutary; feel free to burst the balloons of our buoyancy - lexical, satirical, or political ! - at any point!.

😊

please consider it a compliment (as it was intended). I was hoping to convey a depth of passion and vibrancy in the tone of your FF. No sarcasm or censure intended. I know how you have been very careful to refrain from commenting on the storyline or the characters themselves (unless they reflect a stream or element of society or reflect a social issue) or indulge in the ArMan-crazy dialogue that I have participated in thus far. I respect that.

I also immensely enjoyed reading your posts related to the use of religious texts as the background of the ArMan sindoor scene. they were very informative.

C, I connsider the latter writing to be more acadamic as opposed to the FF. i expect passion, carnal desire and other such raw emotions on the part of this quiet man to conveyed through your writing. Because as we know the CV's are doing a horrible joy of portraying or conveying this. so please no hold back on your FF's. they are truly engaging.
