But Annapurna as fire...now that was a bit bewildering for me at first.
However once I read the whole thing and thought on that perspective, things clicked to place too well.
I think you may have actually started a new interpretation of the character's psychology.
Congratulations!!!!!!
Coming to the story, u r a really wonderful writer. You managed to grab the undivided attention right up to the end.
I liked the apparent wariness of Annapurna towards Swara. Fire and water, the opposites.
Annapurna and Sanskar's relationship reminded me of Maharana Pratap and his third mother, Rani Dheerbai Bhatiyani. She too used to wish that her child was like Pratap and envious, she used to present a facade of altruism to all.

Waiting for the next.

Hi Niki. Thanks so much for your comment. 😊 Glad you liked my portrayal of AP. I found your reference of the Maharana Pratap--Dheerbhai Bhatiyani very interesting. I wasn't aware of this historical tale, it seems to carry some of the undertones I was attempting to give for AP's emotions towards Sanskaar. Thanks for giving me this nugget of info. 😊

I hope to have Earth up by this coming weekend, will do it earlier if I can.

Flabbergasted...seriously...the way you wove the story of AP and Swara...Both ladies are tough cookies but then AP has always had it 'given' to her ...meanwhile Swara worked hard for it...

Fantastic writing and the ending about Fire...super summation.

Loved this...👏



Thanks so much for reading and dropping this lovely comment 😊

Hello Viji😊

Thanks for the pm. Your characterizationof AP is extremely detailed and built concisely. Her backstory is quite an insight in to Annapurna psyche. How she thinks, what she feels, her motivations and actions. Though this fiery attribute has yet to manifest on screen your version certainly gives her character more depth and dimension.

Coming to Swasan I don't know if AP will pose a threat to their relationship, she is quite fond of Sanskar but that can only be determined once Raginis truth comes out. But would love to see how her character comes in to play in your story. Waiting for Swara to confess her love to Sanskar and hoping for some romance in the next update. 😳

As always brilliant writing😊😊
Sorry for the late response



Hey Ruqaiya...thanks for the very detailed comment. I was truly touched by your appreciation for this piece. Glad to know you liked my portrayal of AP.

Yes, there will be some romance in the next one-- "Earth" 😊 Am writing it now, but owing to an official travel commitment, I would most likely be able to post in only the coming weekend. Will do my best to post it asap.

Thanks again for reading my work. 😊

Hi Dear...thanks for reading and liking this series 😊 I am working on Earth, but owing to some official commitments, I will need some time to really flesh it out the way I want to. Plan to have it up by this coming weekend, and if at all I can manage earlier (seems unlikely, but will do my utmost), I shall post as early as I can.

Viji, this was absolutely mindblowing ! The depth of your analysis, your research into the background, and especially the completely out of the box character sketch you have done is amazing...!
I have been wanting to reply to this, for a full day, but knew I didnt wish to leave it at a shallow "great/amazing/wow" kind of response. I wished to share with you, how much you have gripped me with the power of your thought, your articulation and your passion for writing👏.

AAA as a concept is unique..and I can fully understand why you would want to play with AP as a character..she IS a mystery! With her utter nonchalance, her poise, her regal manner and her writ is law in her house. DP may be the king, but in her home, she rules..and that is visible in the servile behaviour of her devar and his wife (notice how the razor sharp Sujata cow tows to her), in the mice like behaviour of her bahus and servants and in the imperiousness that she commands her family. What I didnt like about her, her complete disregard for anyone else's opinion when she decides SHE likes something, is what you have picked up so powerfully, and built an entire theme around it. Bravo !!😊

The character sketches of the others..Adarsh, Lakshya and very specially, Sanskar is excellent and so precise to what we see on screen..the headstrong, intelligent Sanskar, the maa ka laadla bigda hua Lucky and the "not so" Adarsh...and how she handles them..and her reading of Swara..Wow!👏

I found the ending abrupt..I dont think I'd want any of your recountings to ever end ! They bind you, grip you and make you see beyond what the eyes show..and so when they stop..you can actually feel the vacuum..and you are forced to look around for a possible end that bridges that vacuum..and fall short !😔 Do do give us some closure on this one ! I know its a OS..but this demands closure Viji !

Cant wait for Earth (it can only be the one grounded person in MM) and would love to see Air too..coz Air has the power to blow out Fire..and if DP is designated Air, he wll get all my votes !!👍🏼

Keep em coming ! And if you run out of the 5 Forces..we will find more for you !

Thanks a lot for the pm or else I would have missed out on this wonderful part.

Annapurna, ah, that lady really does confound me. You have beautifully brought out her character traits, though I must admit, I never saw her along the lines which you have mentioned.
The paragraph where you mentioned about her being J regarding the remarkable son being born to Rp and Suju were bang on. Her jealousy and her innate resolve to make her younger son be the better one was remarkable. It is her that nature which always make me feel that she was the reason behind KAVITA'S death. I am definite that the goons were somehow sent by her, though motive can be shown as different as per the cvs liking.
Swara and sanskar part I liked and I also feel its only swara who can take on AP head on.
Waiting for the next part in your trilogy n hoping that soon swara will show AP her rightful place without stepping over boundaries.



Thank you so much for your detailed comment. 😊 Glad that you liked my take on AP as well as the Sanskaar--Swara part.

Hope to have "Earth" up by the coming weekend. Will do earlier if I can.

😳 😊 Thanks so much, Pic. for that lovely comment. It made my day, seriously. Am so very glad you liked my take on AP's character, the layers and the "greyness" to it, and the thoughts that could be driving her.

Sorry for making the ending a tad abrupt, but I had to continue the story in "Earth", so had to end at that point. There will be a closure to this thread with the 3rd installment of the series.

Air: Is still in the air, at this point 😊 I hope to, and want to do it, but am not very sure I will. Anyway, I am working on Earth now and hope to have it up by this weekend. Would have done it earlier, but have an official travel commitment this week which restricts the time I can put into writing it out the way I have envisioned it.
