Now that I have my babybook updated and my feelings settled down, I suppose I should formally thank you for that dedication. It's a foreign territory though. Shall I play cool or shall I unleash my inner clingyass, sappy monster? Jokes apart, THANK YOU. I'm flattered. And to top it all off, it was a dedication for a Mangalpuri AsYa writing. (for some reason when I hear that word I think of this: http://www.azadsweets.in/wp-content/themes/restaurant/images/azad-sp-big-1.jpg maybe I'm just always hungry. I share a pavitra rishta with food.) Nothing, absolutely nothing, gets better than that. And Jazzy-kins (😆 idk ok) you are very welcome. Although, I still do stick to what I said earlier. You don't wanna be calling them "Bingo writing". The horny old people image is a little disturbing (because bingo bimbo, get it?). Y u ker vat ppl thnking 4G-et bout dem? Lol I had to, mimicking the Bingo style is just so fun. i might actually write something mocking the Bingo style. I just love the word Bingo style, I'll just have to deal with the horny old people image.

Before I talk about the oneshot, can I just saw how much I loved your little sytlistic venture with the title? I like the little things in life. asdfghjkl My life is complete. It's just no one really takes it into consideration, thank you.

Okay, now the writing. First of all, I loved the fact that it was from Asad's perspective. And how apt that the tile should have the word "grey". Because if there is anything I have deduced from all these QH months, it's the greyness of Asad's character. I'm like shocked at how you're noticing everything, other than the obvious reason for the title being the grey area, I'm glad you are able to see through my intentions of tying it into the greyness of Asad's character which made the title even more apt, and ultimately Asad was Zoya's grey area. Damn it feels like you were in my brain when I was writing this, and it's scary...but cool. But what really stood out to me was how clear Zoya's feelings were in spite of the minimum"thought insight" you provided. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I am so glad it felt that way, because especially for the last part Zoya's feelings were REALLY important I was thinking about a point of view switch but I don't really like doing that just for convenience so I decided to stick to Asad's POV and deal. I'm so happy you noticed it and felt it in the writing. My life is complete. And even though Asad was a low-class human in the moment he chose to abandon Zoya, You are my spirit animal. It is official. Anyone who begs to differ with her statement needs a reality check. is it weird that I think that he redeemed himself, albeit a little, by gathering up some balls? Yes. Well i don't know, for me gathering up the balls and being honest even though he could have very easily just let her assume he did it out of helplessness was something that would allow me to forgive him a little bit, hence the grey area (the title had a lot to do with the os which is why i didn't want to reveal even that). When I was thinking about Mangalpur and what happened while writing this, I myself fell into the grey area about Asad. I really did feel bad for him though because not only did he have to own up to the inhumanity of his earlier actions, he also had to kick aside Zoya's preconceived notion of him as a knight in the shining armor. Despite being the writer, that even made me go "ouch" Poor guy. Or maybe not. He did ask for it. Exactly

As for the ending, I really don't want to cut it up. Because the way you wrote it, it made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I love those endings where you're just like woah, I couldn't imagine it ending in another way. This was one like that. Excuse me while I go reduce myself into a pile of mush. THE FEELS. You really seriously legitimately think the ending was one of THOSE? I would beg to differ but the fact that you thought that just... I-I don't know what to say... *HUGGIE WALA HUG* I have never been more flattered.

Just in case my sentiments were ambiguous in the midst of all my rambling, I LOVED IT! :') That makes me happy. And if you are planning on replying back to my comment to tell me Oh stop Jazzy, it wasn't that good, I'll have you know that I liked it. No, I honestly am satisfied with what I wrote and trust me I'm REALLY happy you liked it! And you know what that means? That means that since I liked it and you didn't consider it good enough, you're passing a judgement on my taste in literature. And neither of us wanna venture in that territory. Yeah I'll take a pass there too lol

P.S.: Not going to like, I chuckled a bit at the "special human" part.

Same pinch. (I seriously wish we said that in America) Whimsical little moment things for the win.

P.P.S.: Tanvi, I know my DP is gorgeous, but I'm the possessive types. What exactly is that emoji supposed to be? I call it the horny emoji because blood rush and all, but something tells me that's not it.😆😆

Ok what's the sitch with you and James Franco? If you didn't get the reference then this was probably awkward and I'll shut up now. LOWE YOU. Kthanksbye.
