Thanks Samarth, I am sure you have translated wonderfully and even if the wordings are not proper o are the king among the ignorant. Beautiful lines indeed, I almost feel maybe the author was one of those writers who compares love and beauty to nature. It felt like hearing Ilayaraja's or RD Burman's lyrics, thanks again.

Reading your "Such kind of impact requires 'two way' call and mutual respects, not one sided 'deferments." , it has changed now, hasn't it. Saras respects and loves Kumud and Kumud the same as well, so using this line here does justice to their love at this stage. I had somehow felt that there was not much left of the novel other than the essence of the characters but if we are getting these dialogues from the original after a love confession I have to say maybe we have even got something of the story's originality getting tried out in this.

Oh Kaadal, if you will see our debate there, you wud understand, then i was referring this 'deferment' as his highhandedness charged with 'you called me'. Plus upcoming, continued condescension based on a false superstition, leading to an upcoming tract which culminated with that arrogant edict " Umid he Jazbato ki'" In original SC was never such arrogant if anything else...

Kusum calling Saras bhai is not enough to allay my apprehensions. In Gujrat, adding a bhai or ben to someone's name is adding a tittle just like Mr or Ms. It does not necessarily mean you consider them bhai or ben. Samarth can explain this better than I can. 😃 😳

I think the arrogance of the male lead and boldness of female are traits of SLB sprinkled on his character but since you had brought this up I would like to ask you a question. I had asked this to Arshi when we were debating about the license of SLB to deviate from original, was SC a weak character in the novel ? Sending a letter rejecting a girl and then falling in love but rejecting her still for whatever reason it was, still needs a bit of arrogance doesn't it, a normal man for whom emotions and love are important won't do that to a girl he loves so deeply. That makes me curious to know the SC in the novel.

This is a very interesting tweak they have come up solely to make this character look less weak and more palatable. (For opinion/impression about original, you already were there in that thread -CB 13 or 14 may i think- and this is not me only...much of readers in Gujarat i have an impression...)

About the tweak...actually in original, he is unwittingly written 'weak' because of idealism.

In Book, the rejection letter- actually more a withdrawal letter- came AFTER the RN visit. There was NO such rejection before the visit. Rather mutual call letters, first being from Kumud after announcement of the engagement by the elders! Later He disappeared after an altercation with father, despite being abundantly warned by this friend about injustice to Kumud when he saw him preparing to go and was alarmed! He was well aware about the awakened love between these two. But SC persisted...sending her...(a short poem " Priya ramya vibhavari.."🤢)...perhaps I shud not..

but see the effect of tweak here...a rejection before any aroused feelings ( as in this script) takes away much of capriciousness as an irresponsible act which it appears in the book, (where he withdrew after the Love!)...it's going to be a huge manoeuvre for Gumaan, to now reproduce the rejection..i have an uncomfortable feeling...to make him look less capricious, they will pass some of the 'blame' on Kumud- (as that day she was aroused)...Well, in book Kumud had absolutely no say or act in collapse of the betrothal or his flight...

I am somehow happy that they tweaked Saras to be bit more appreciable, not sure if we would have liked the original SC.

just noticed...

The 'hes' are tending towards kumud's side and the 'shes' towards saras...should it be the other way around?... or not?...

kidding...😆
