Hi Shruti...😊
Sorry for the late reply, but as I scrapped you, past week has been hectic with travel. So I managed to catch up with all 3 parts of this TS just today.
Very, very powerful, Shruti. The first 2 parts were full of angst and the pain of separation...you know what, you're lucky I read all 3 at one go just now. Else I would have been spamming you, demanding part 3 ASAP--forget your new role, work pressures, etc etc. 😊. You wouldn't have known how to escape me!
I'm like this when I write my own fics too--like ek chutki sindhoor or second chances or even it was written in the stars. I like to do angst and separation, but I want the resolution soon. 😉 So thank you for giving the reunion in part 3 or else (...belan in hand...) I would have had a bone to pick with you. 😆
Loved the reference to Wuthering Heights--that's one of my favorite novels, and I agree with you, the "love" between Cathy and Heathcliff is a terrible, consuming one. So full of darkness and bitterness...am pretty sure a lasting, happy love cannot be based on such a template.
I just love snippets of dialogue/ narration that stay with me even when I've finished reading, and for me, the ones which stood out here were, in the 2nd shot, where you described Swara--Sanskaar's "dard ka rishta" : ...was forged from the fires of shared pain and joint suffering- thus indestructible unless by themselves.
And of course, all the cute, filmi dialogues in part 3. "Mrs Swara Sanskaar Maheshwai, main tumse jitni baar tum shaadi karna chaho, karoonga, lekin tumhe apni life se ek bhi baar abh jaane nahi doonga"
and
"Mujhe bahut kuch kehna bhi hai aur karna bhi hai, lekin iske liye akele hona zaroori hai, yahan se toh arrest ho jayenge"
