Despatches Series Part 6-OS - Letter from Sanskaar to Swara - Page 5

Seriously dear...

One request...Please please write return letter from all...or at least from swara...just request...

Shrutu🤗,

Sorry for unressing it so late
Shruti 🤗 What a letter! 👏
Such a powerful writing. I could feel all his frustration and anger.
He seems to be just a puppet in Swara's hands 😔 He is shattered.
He loves her more than his own life, but when will she realize it?
Before she used him for Maa-baba mission aur ab? RagYa ko milane ke liye? It's high time she realize that she is just hurting him more and more.
I loved this line especially: 'This one has been baptised to be born again, not in soothing waters, but in the flames of a love that burns and consumes, overcoming all reason and good sense, until from it emerges a phoenix that doesn't even recognise itself. The letters that label my calendar years are BK and AS, rather than BC and AD-Before Kavita and After Swara.
I'm so in love with your writings, you are among my fav writer in the forum along with Medha and Viji 😳 And yes this is my fav letter. Well done 👏

Shrutu🤗,

Did not mean to be so late but...I log in only once on Sunday.😳

Anyway, coming to the letter,

First point...I love the idea of BK and AS. exactly conveys his state of mind.

Second, I loved how he says, I see things stripped down to the first keel

Third, The quotations. Yes.perfect.

and final:the rationale behind why he needs to watch over her.

This is your best work yet, Shrutu, and it deserves a standing ovation. So take one.👏 I am actually glad that you decided to wait until events unfolded before writing this...because it certainly changed the tone of the letter a bit huh?😉

Lovely work.

All my love---

Medha.

Oh and next? To rags is it?😛

I really did not expect this one to be addressed to Swara when I saw your PM. I was pleasantly surprised.😊

"Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love."

- This really does scream Sanskaar. It's perfect!❤️

Honestly once I started reading it, I forgot they were your words. It was me, Sanskaar and Sanskaar's love for Swara. I am not ashamed to say this, but I really did not understand why Sanskaar fell so fast and hard for Swara. Oh I knew he saw her as this puny person who was really trying her very best for her Maa and Baba's happiness while her own heart was in pieces. He saw the innate goodness in her, her love for her sister despite everything she put her through(no matter how idiotic I thought that was). I knew he saw all that. But what I didn't know was how much she did for him. Her saving him from the path of revenge and hate that would have led to his own destruction was what it stopped at for me. I did not see how by doing this she had sort of given him a new birth , a new beginning , a new Sanskaar. I still refuse to believe that though. However, that discussion is best left for probably another post. I really want you to know that this letter has definitely make me understand Sanskaar's love for Swara much better. And it has in effect made me love him so much more(If that's even possible)

You know how much I love Sanskaar. (So much that my colleagues and friends at work thought he was an actual person and they still call me "Sanskaari Mohtarma" Annoys me to no end but love having his name attached to me. Hah! I'm hopeless. 😆)And how I also hate Swara for making him suffer this way.This letter seriously made me re-analyse her character.

Swara was always this illogical, irritating, devi ji character to me. But now that I actually think about it, most of us (I think) are to some extent like that. To think about your family first is what I always have and will believe is the right thing to do. I would also probably forgive my sister if she tried to kill me. I really believe I would.And there ends my acceptance and ability to relate to her. What I wouldn't do is being so blind to not see how their parent's relationship is always going to depend on "Dadi's approval of Sharmishta". How completely useless her father is and also how it is so wrong to play God in everyone's life while conveniently being so ignorant of your own marriage. A girl who cares about her family must also see who is actually good for them and who is clearly not! And I don't know if I can actually say this for her character, but really if someone really does understand and value family more than anything else, even her past love, she can definitely see and understand true love and see how much she's hurting him. Now that I can relate to her, it really irritates me more that she's so freaking blind! OMG! What is wrong with that lady?

I really loved these lines,

"I cannot let you go. No matter how much I want to and I do want to, as this unrequited love for you is like slow poison seeping through me drop by drop, each day. But, it is beyond that. You are as essential to me as breathing. It transcends having you physically present with me, although the torment of not having you there is excruciating, but I mean that you are now part of my very being. Separating you would be akin to tearing my own heart out; I could not survive it. "

They really did make me almost tear up, the pleasurable pain that comes with unrequited love. His capacity to love is just something else. This intensity that he is capable of is exactly why I will be unable to see beyond him especially when it comes their relationship. I still think Swara doesn't deserve him. Somebody please help me make it all mine.😆

They say he's not perfect.(debatable) But one has to agree that Sanskaar's love is ideal. It's what I believe makes girls like us incapable of getting into a relationship.(I really am doomed😆)

You have to know now that it just has to be my favorite of them all. Sanskaar's love for Swara, no matter how much I don't like her right now is why I'm so in love with him.

Thank you again for this one Shurti.🤗🤗 Made me understand SwaSan much better by understanding exactly how Sanskaar sees Swara. What a way to end my day. My dreams are definitely something I am looking forward to right now.

Thank you Geetha 🤗

You had to like this one I guess- it is all about Sanskaar and his crazy beautiful love 😃. I am really glad you felt like it sort of justified the all consuming passion Sanskaar has for Swara. See it doesn't matter whether we think Swara "deserves" such love or not- the beauty of it is the person who loves doesn't judge the appropriateness of the recipient. It can be both a tragedy and an epiphany. I delve into this some more in the one I have literally just posted- to Ragini- so reading your comments I feel like you might enjoy that one. Sanskaar's love is epic because it isn't about what Swara gives him in return. It is like the Twillight books- I used to get very irritated reading Bella- I found her annoying and never got what Edward saw in her and then when you read Midnight Sun (the part of it the author has written I mean), you see his perspective and it suddenly made me understand. It didn't make the heroine any less irritating, but I mean it explained the hero much better and you can't help but be awed by such love. You are right- we all dream of it 😊. Lots of love and happy Sanskaar dreams 😃

Fabulous piece!
