I love to read a levelheaded Sanskaar catching Ragini in her acts. He is her guru after all.
I also liked the short conversation between Swara and Ragini. I will always have hope for their sisterly bond.

Looking forward to part 3

Hi Ally. ...😊

Thanks a lot. I'm very glad you liked both the chapters.

I wanted to show a level headed interaction between Sanskaar and Ragini. I feel he would definitely play a role in her redemption, somewhere I'm sure he does feel responsible to having started her on this path to wrongdoing. He did try to pull her back from the brink before, but at that time she was in a completely obsessive, fanatical frame of mind.

I think Sanskaar would definitely catch Ragini in her acts, but would give her a chance for a genuine redemption, who better than him to know the value of a chance to repent, after all. And he would be smart enough to keep a check on her as well, he wouldn't trust blindly like Swara does. "Trust but verify" type of philosophy 😊

In the second chapter, I wanted to show the slow progress in Ragini's redemption. Her thought process is changing, she still feels angry and envious at times, but her inherent goodness is exerting itself again.

Hope to have part 3 up in a few days.

AP and Sanskaar share a unique bond. He is the son she always wished for. But he is not hers and so she harbors a slight dislike towards him for being more capable than Laksh in all aspects. And he knows it yet he respects and looks up to her. I loved the way you portrayed their bond through these little things, like morning aarti, where in he can be Sanskaar, her son and she can be his mom.

Ragini prompting Swara towards the path of realization 👍🏼 I don't think Swara even realized how deeply she felt for Sanskaar. The feeling had developed over time even without her realizing it. They say you never realize the worth of what you have until you lose it. I am glad that she caught up before it was completely lost.

Swara singing for him and conveying her feelings through music was brilliantly done. It added a certain depth to their equation. It matched their personalities perfectly. It was subtle, nuanced and so them.

Swara's detailed study of his eyes was dreamy ☺️

Hi Raksha. ..🤗

Thanks so much, for this lovely and detailed comment. I'm very glad you liked this chapter.

I'm so happy you liked the aspect of music, both as a part of the Annapurna ---Sanskaar bond while he was growing up, as well as the way Swara finally expresses her feelings to Sanskaar. I completely agree with you on the complex nature of the relationship between Annapurna and Sanskaar. She certainly feels he is the son she always wanted. Like you said, though she loves him, there is this slight resentment that he isn't her son, and is so much better than her own, especially her pampered prince, Lucky. ...But their shared love for music lets her forget that, at least for a while.

And as for Swara, I wanted to make her pine for Sanskaar, thirst for his affection and care, and realize how much he means to her. Ragini is slowly starting on that path back to her inherent goodness, it won't be an easy path, but at least she's trying to rein in the envy and bitterness within her. I wanted to make her give Swara that small nudge towards expressing her feelings for Sanskaar.

I truly feel that music is sometimes a more powerful way of communicating that mere words. I am so very happy that you felt the way Swara did this, was subtle and nuanced, and suiting their bond. 😊

You liked Swara's observation of Sanskaar's eyes? 😳 I liked writing that, too. 😉

dat kiss was so sweet nd cute❤️

jhalne wale jhalo😈

Hey Jesi my dear...🤗

Thanks yaar. Yeah I also wondered why they showed Sanskaar explaining that in the serial. Swara could have realized that he had burnt it only to protect her, since someone else was obviously trying to frame her.

I am so glad you liked the chapter.

I was totally in SwaSan dreamland, when I wrote about their romance 😳. So happy that you liked it, too.

Thanks for your amazingly lovely comment BTW. I will reply to that from my lappy, later.

Beautiful TS, Viji. Loved how Swara made up to Sanskar in her own sweet innocent way. Haha ..when you were describing Sanskar's eyes ...I thought ...that is not Swara ..that is a Sanskar fan, Viji! 😃 Even the guys are not immune to praises it seems, the way he kissed her after hearing all praises about his eyes! 😳
Regarding the future track, I believe if you are redeeming Ragini, you should redeem Laksh too! As I have started watching this serial much later ... I was catching up with old episodes to understand Ragini and Laksh better ... and I kind of sympathize with both Laksh and Ragini. None of them were negative ...it's the circumstances which made them do negative things( I still believe Ragini has done more harm than Laksh). So both of them need a chance to redeem themselves.

Thanks a ton. 🤗 🤗

Am very glad you liked the way Swara conveyed to Sanskaar what she felt for him, through her singing. Music is very powerful isn't it...Sometimes it can say so much more than mere words.

Haha you liked the way Swara observed Sanskaar's eyes, huh? 😉 I enjoyed writing that part a lot. 😳 Of course Sanskaar couldn't resist yaar. ...we know how much he loves Swara na. He is just waiting for her signal to start the romance. 😆

About Lakshya's redemption...I guess I will have to take up in the future, with another fic. In this one it looks impossible, as he hasn't yet accepted his own mistakes in what happened. He's still blaming everyone else, not realizing how his own actions contributed. So without that realization, the repentance and redemption can't happen right now.

Looking forward to making Ragini walk further up that path to her redemption, though. 😊

Hey Viji, stalking the forum between meetings but on annoying phone so can't make this as long as I'd like to. My favourite OW is Dorian Gray, it calls on so many levels. I do love An Ideal Husband too and am a huge Rupert Everett fan so don't know if you saw the adaptation they did of it on film? Very funny!
I was hoping to start writing my part 3 today but have another client do after work so it will have to be tomorrow as again on Friday I'm in endless meetings in London so can't! Uuurgh! I hate such a packed diary but always happens this time of the year. Still mulling over how to make part 3 work as I really don't have an elaborate story this time to rely on so it all turns on the interaction and if I can do justice to it. Not sure of part 4, maybe a very brief epilogue.
When are you going to have time to get Todi up by? Glad to hear Mr LRG isn't getting redeemed yet lol!

Lots of love xx

Hey Shru...

No, I haven't seen the film adaptation of An Ideal Husband. Its good, is it? Will try to catch it on DVD. Have you seen "A Good Woman", it's an adaptation of Lady Windermere's fan. It was just fabulous. Starring Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johannson.

Am working on the last chapter dear. Don't expect to have it up before Friday I'm guessing. Perhaps Saturday.

Hope you have some time for some R&R as well...your schedule sounds frenetic!! Take care of yourself.
