Your extra bits on the thanking note made me laugh. Indeed, it might feel like writers are crybabies. 😆
Since you said that the first portion of this chapter is a continuation from the previous chapter, this means that it is two years ahead of the timeline from Maan's portion, haina?
I don't really want to comment on Brij's way of entertainment for himself. I can't find any strong words in my vocabulary to tell how much I am hating him. The scariest part for me was him thinking he'll find a prettier girl the next time. I really do not wish that any girl - let alone the female leads of the story - fall into his trap anymore.
Sibling rivalry. Something that starts deep within and only begins to grow at a very slow pace which doesn't let the parents know or control it. After reading how much a flesh and blood brother hates his own kin and what he has done to get put him down, I have one wish. I very desperately want this man's downfall. I want him to be robbed of what wasn't his own to claim in the first place. In my opinion, if sibling rivalry takes root in one of the children, the parents are still to be held responsible for it, it doesn't matter that they're not usually aware of it. Even though Brij had hidden his hatred for his brother under the guise of care and concern, the parents should have realised that they need to pay attention to both their children rather than just one of them. No matter how old a child gets, he still will want his mother to feed him with her hands, so it's quite natural that when he finds his younger brother being pampered by his parents, he felt neglected and that led to him hating his brother who was the point of their parents' attention. I wonder, though, why there was this injustice and why the Thakur couple favoured their younger son - if that is the case at all, because this is only one side of the story.
Needless to say how much relief Maan's portion brought to me and it was not because of SBV or anything.
Him staring at his body in the mirror and challenging SRK to beat that and then that GG and jiji part was all hilarious. Poor Nakul! He is going to go mad by the time that both the brothers get through to their feelings and their love interests. 😆
And let me tell you, SRK can't beat Maan's body. 😳
You know, I have never really found out what a colour or the colour of rose represents, but I've always been intrigued by it. That is the reason I loved Colors by Palin. Maan's choice of which rose he wants to give to Geet and the meaning behind it is apt. And yes, imagining his parents plant those roses in the garden so lovingly brought a smile to me. Precious memory, isn't it Avi? 😉
I haven't heard the song but the lyrics and translation seems nice and well-suited for this chapter. Will be waiting for Maan to actually attempt gifting Geet a rose. 😆
Thanks for updating Avi! And apologies for you know what. 🤗
