"Books don't change people, paragraphs do, sometimes even sentences!'
Bowled over, completely😃
The lines and quotes used in here are too good!
Firstly, too touched to see my name listed as one of the person to whom this beautiful piece has been dedicated. Back from a two days trip and unearthed this piece to find that!
Thank you so much, Viji, for being so generous and I truly have no words to thank you, not just for the dedication but for choosing a piece that is near to me- A piece full of human emotions🤗
The title is an amazing one.😎 Apt and appealing. Somehow, reading the title gave me an imagination of Arabs and the desert flavour. Maybe Saudi, finding an oasis in the desert and Saudade have an inkling 😛
But, as I read the description of the word, I only felt like thanking the language and you for introducing this important word! Somehow this reminded me of William Wordsworth's "Solitary Reaper!'
The line - " ...And she sings a melancholy strain" seems to just pop in my mind probably explaining how sometimes the very two extremely opposite words are the ones that define us and defy us of the barriers we build around ourselves! It is always the very ' apart' ones that becomes 'a part' of us.
Maybe it is the melancholy strain that our hearts crave for, long after we mount up a hill, bearing the music in our heart! And truly understand it's melody and the havoc it creates in our mind, only long after it is heard no more!😆
I completely agree with the point of trust. I feel it's more an honour to know you are trusted than be loved!
Sanskaar's and Swara's emotions of acknowledgement, denial , acceptance of their emotions and Love by large and the expressing followed by refusal to earning it back was just too realistic& true to the temperament of both the characters !👍🏼
The very scene of how Swara realizes the torment both have undergone because of their own prejudices & reasons, and that happening by reading a book. Deep. Afterall, one doesn't remain the same after opening the pages of a book. It clings even after you have closed it.
The part where Swara tries to win back Sanskaar and the descriptions of the glass and the flowers..so 👏. What a journey that was!🥳
Ahh! the line on the pillow wall getting dismantled tonight! 😳 A music to readers indeed!🥳
Thank you so much for invoking such deep emotions through your writing.😊
Reading your other works and will surely let u know about them. A little preoccupied for now.🤔
Till then keep writing more and many more. ⭐️👏
