Second spot again... Never mind in Sweety's words Ab aadat ho gayi hai mujhe. Destiny.

Anyways my views on the part... I so loved it... 😃 I love this style of writing Avi. It is complete yet leaves behind a tingle & craving for more, something that is present in whole yet puzzle pieces out there to be framed together... Each part though gives description & particularly about the person mentioned in the title, it gives more than a sneak peek to the characterisation & nature of another person within the part... and very strongly understood through the perspective of the other person's view, something very well portrayed by you & you're doing a great job. 👏 Loving this... ❤️

I am trying to establish the main leads like this along with the background. To be honest since I am completely bored by character sketches and I almost never read them, I figured to play a little hide and seek while doing this part. Glad that most people liked it and are not completely annoyed by it..

Daadi has seen it all & borne a lot in her age. Yet has stood firm & strong for her grandchildren with steady support form her Grandkids... She comes to be a strong Matriarch here yet the one who can read & understand to a great extent her Kids & their nature with ease & also acknowledges her incapacities in some areas especially with Maan but nevertheless does her best. Daadi understood & read the pain in Maan's eyes but couldn't pin point to the reason, she knew that Maan was missing his Mom & she can't take that place yet has her own place in his life.

Daadima in the serial was such a strong character that I try to incorporate that in my stories. Some children are closer and easier to understand even for mothers and grandmoms. Some love the person but somehow you cannot reach them the way you want to. Daadi could watch the love between mother and child but somehow cannot replicate that.

Maan from whatever little revelation you have given here of him has me curious about him yet I'm loving his nature here, Guess can't help it afterall he is Maan. 😳 He is steadfast, reliable, easy to bank upon for his family & loved ones yet intense & passionate. Has good bonding with his siblings but yet one who can't freely express himself well to others. His hardworking, self sacrifing nature for his brother to go while he remains to support the sinking ship of his business & his earnestness came out so well with your words used here.

His silence speaks a lot with so much depth in character that calls out to you & somewhere does touch you. His introvert nature though contrasting to that of his twin brother but does define his persona & capacities. His bonding with his Mom was so beautiful & touching. I can understand it to a great extent as I too bond very well & mostly with my Mom so much so that we don't need others to understand what's going on, its untold & expressed & understood.

You have described the Maan I wanted to create here perfectly. He is an introvert but a very strong character nonetheless. His parents will influence much of his coming relationship story part. The mother and father here are also the same as the part I wrote for Palin's story, self reflection... As I said before I lack imagination so I narrate and recreate people, things and events I see around me. Nephew plays piano, hence Maan gets to use his long fingers for piano...😆

I could so relate to the dance & song scene between Maan & his parents only that in my case it isn't the sad one but a happy one. My parents always dance to 'Jab koi baat bigad jaaye' the song with which my Dad proposed my Mom, while I keep playing the keyboard with my Brother on the guitar during our family time.

That's another kitchen dance number for us... love it... you had asked about that before, right... kitchen dance means when we are cooking together and something like this comes on, everything is put aside to dance to the song..😆.. I am glad our kitchen does not face anyone's home else the neighbors would be shocked...😆

Loved it , the song included was so beautiful & apt. I so loved it, Kishore Kumar's voice does the magic & add to it the words then its so complete.

This one was already in my head and so I had to make the scene fit Maan...

👏
