The chapter is so matching to the Raga's aura, the utter and complete submission in devotion is the reflection of utmost faith as well right? And almost always it is immediately followed by overwhelming love.I'm utterly thrilled they finally sorted out their differences and in that Ragini played a part. Her redemption or her turn towards the right path sort of gives me peace as well.At the beginning you asked about Lakshya. Hmm...I don't know, seriously is his redemption even possible? I mean I know Ragini has done some terrible deeds and is a epitome of darkness but her change of persona always had others' hands in the process. Firstly her elders who compressed her to mold in to what they wanted and then Lakshya Sanskar and eventually to some extent Swara had a hand i turning her in to the angelic faced demon. Ragini had turned in to that creature before she realized what she was...so her redemption comes along with her realization of that ugliness in her current reflection.I'm not sure Lakshya belongs to this category...since his transformation was his individual decision, no one pushed him in to the task and no one made him any promises of the benefits he might reap from this cause of action. So...is his redemption possible at this moment?He has done a hideous deed, the lives surrounding him has been messed up because of it, yet he is unaffected as at the moment. I picked it up from where you say he was watching with utter jealousy as Swara did the Arati. Do you feel his redemption, realization, repentance would occur in such a short span of time?I don't know. You're a master mind, certainly a far better writer, so perhaps you can twist some events in to that, but at the moment I think Ragini's redemption is more than enough. Give Lakshya some time to realize the weight of his actions at least.I don't know if you're irritated after reading my rants on Lakshya...but these days when I start on him, I can't seem to stop.Enjoyed this part to bits. Still you're my favorite writer on forum, closely followed by Shruti and Medha.Can't wait for the third part!
Saku my dear...just want to say thanks again, for this absolutely awesome comment. We discussed the Lakshya bit already yesterday, and I agree with you, he does have a long way to go before his redemption. For one thing, he needs to take ownership of his own actions, and stop his entitlement complex. These are the chief reasons why I dislike the guy...so I don't think I'm going to show his repentance here. His comeuppance, certainly. 😆
I'm so very glad you liked the connection between the Raag and what I was trying to portray in this chapter. You put that very well, the devotion and faith embodied by the Raag, finding echoes in what Sanskaar feels for Swara; and what Swara now realizes she feels for him, too.
I wanted to show Ragini's slow process towards redemption. So I made her have a sensible conversation, though a guarded one on both sides, with Swara. Ragini still has those negative feelings of envy, but she is trying her best to fight them, and is seriously considering taking that path, which Sanskaar suggested she should.
