Res for part 2 commentUnres
Sorry I am late Vij! I have been struggling with workloads and other commitments and just got home - it's gone 10 pm! I didn't want to write a comment from the phone.
Beautiful! The descriptions you evoke are always so effective, you can literally transport the reader straight to the place you write of. I was lost in the majesty and grandeur of the MM and the way Annapurna was singing the Aarti and later Swara, I could actually hear it. Bhairav is my mum's favourite raga- she sings it very well too:). I also loved the connection drawn between the music and how Sanskaar's character is moulded. Like me, you have always seen the real connect he has with Annapurna.
The SwaSan reconciliation applied a balm to my heart. I loved the idea that Swara was working so hard on conveying her remorse and particularly loved that you used Ragini in the way you did. What I liked was you did it realistically, she is still not immediately reformed- we all know life doesn't work like serials- mad drama leading to big instant changes. I really liked the balance of her desire to change fighting against her deep seated feelings of frustrated anger and jealousy but finally, some goodness winning through and her telling Swara would of course be so effective. As it is we have doubts about Swara's real love in life being pyaari behena 😆. Seriously though, talking of the real love of ones life- I so enjoyed how Sanskaar finally melted with the message wifey sang out to him. Again, in real life we all know that over time and subject to amount of effort put in, anger can fade and when we love someone so much, at some point the softening is inevitable. And what a way you chose to get Swara to express her changed feelings! Ah- that description of Sanskaar's eyes and his reaction- ☺️ . That kiss and their love and passion for each other was so beautiful, I can sleep happy visualising 😳. Oh and before then- we saw the scene with Sanskaar angry and then upset and Swara devastated on screen but reading it like this brought all the power and feels of it back.
I am not sure I have told you before but Oscar Wilde is one of my favourite authors- I got record high marks in my literature paper on the essay I wrote on him. I devoured his work- his dry sarcastic wit and satire always right up my street. And of course Khalil Gibran ❤️
It'll be no surprise to you that like all your work, I was lapping this one up, ever hungry for more! Hope to read Part 3 soon.
The redemption of Laksh question is interesting. I am currently mulling over doing a piece where I wondered if I should try that but at the moment my anger levels re Laksh ji are so high, I couldn't decide 😆. I find it easier to just cut him out or make him the big bad but I know at some point, it would be good to somehow have him dealt with. I am not being much help but at the moment I enjoy reading him getting scalded, punched, scratched etc etc 😆 but if you do redeem him, I know you will do a fine job so either way is fine!
Sorry if my comments today are scrambled, they might resemble the state of my brain! Love you soul sis xoxo
