I love how all your letters while obviously managing to shed some light on the relationship between Sanskaar and the one it is addressed to, it also manages to describe individually what both the characters are made of.
When it comes to Sanskaar, I have realized I have a one track mind. I can only relate to a character in a sense that would actually make me see them and want to understand them, if they are connected to Sanskaar in a way that makes Sanskaar incomplete as a character without them. I again don't know if I am making sense to you anymore.
Thus the apparent disregard for AP and RP. I realized that I had known what to expect from your letters Lux and Suju (at least to a level). But now that we have finally come to discussing DP, I was really confused. Of course I knew the guy was as fair as anyone could possibly expect from the Maheshwari Khandan. Oh I knew he was no "dhhodh ka dhula" but he has till now managed to not give me any reason to start hating him.(SwaSan divorce almost cost him that) That's definitely something!
He always giving Swara,the benefit of doubt while his wife was clearly against the match. He being the first person to accept SwaSan as a married couple.(even if was a fake one at that time) He giving Sanskaar and Swara a chance when it came to the whole Ragini-molestation fiasco. Although I did hate him for easily believing Ragini and slapping Sanskaar. That was so uncalled for!š”
Or maybe I'm just being biased since he is a fellow SwaSan shipper!š
Anyways coming back to the topic at hand, as always loved reading it Shruthi. I couldn't have slept without telling you what I though of it. The parts that stood out for me the most were
You, who married Maa, who may be as Marwari as they come, but was the neglected and impoverished poor cousin of the girl your mother actually wanted you to marry? Did your own mother not raise the objection originally to the match, but you overrode that as you had clearly seen Maa and fallen in love? Not that you would ever admit to that overpowering desire you had to make her your wife, instead of the other far more "suitable" one chosen for you, as love. Love is not for the great Durga Prasad Maheshwari after all. Oh no, the catch words are duty, honour, respect and pride.
I envy that brain of yours. Skeletons in closet and DP ?š²š Loved the continuity in AP's story here.
you who know how similar we are, in that we would never back down at the first sign of resistance. What did you think would happen?
My grievance lies in the fact that I had always looked up to you as the father that would come through for me, as I know that my Dad abandoned that role to you a long time ago, even for himself, let alone me. Yet, when it came to it, just like Maa- the call of your own blood was stronger.
These two lines are my favorite. His connection with Sanskaar, as someone he truly counted on to be there for him. And how he proved to be a complete failure at being "his" father. Comparing DP to AP was icing on the cake!
I somehow felt that this was his most honest letter among the 5. AP's was honest too but it lacked that finality that this one has. Am I making no sense again? š It totally explains why Sanskaar would have preferred them over his own parents. He is so much like them.
