Hey Geethu...🤗 🤗

Glad to have you back. Hope the cold's better. 😊

BTW I was so touched you'd liked my res spot for the 2nd chapter even before I posted it. 🤗 It made me feel both really moved as well as pressured 😆. I just had to do my utmost to come up with the goods, after that. 😳 Do let me know what you felt, after you get home and read it.

I turned Green yesterday 😆 I wasn't even aware the tier changes after 2500 posts. ...I figured out only when I liked a post on another thread, and saw my color change!

Take care...and wish you a speedy recovery back to the pink of health.


Viji🤗🤗

I'm almost back to normal now and thus the visits to IF. Work however continues to be as busy as ever. Hardly get time to read, really wanted to complete something that I had started. But I guess that will happen only on weekend if I again don't have office work that is pending

Had to like - We don't expect anything less fabulous from you - Can totally understand why you are feeling pressurized now😆 No but I'm so sure you have nothing to worry about Viji , you are indeed a very gifted and an amazing writer.

I unres - ed on the previous page btw😃

Hey Viji😊Hows you

Sorry yaar for the late response but let me just say the second part is even more enthralling and the musical aura that surrounds the story simply elevates the reading experience. Swara's soulful rendition is akin to Jodha's Manmohana in Jodha Akbar. She also sings of her undying devotion to her Kanhaji. Since Both Swara and Ragini come from a musical background its perfectly fitting that they would resort to their inherent talent to reach out to their loved one.

The highlight is the stark contrast in the outcome of their musical endeavor. Raags are essentially a soul connect with the one whom it is sung for and therefore Sanskaar being Swara's soul mate immediately felt the pull. Only a person who has a deep understanding of the world around them can connect at such a level. An old soul such as Sanskaar. Not someone as fickle minded as Laksh. He could not understand the depth of Ragini's love despite her pouring her heart and soul in the raag. This should be enough for Ragini to realize that he is not worthy of her love.

And I really like this Ragini. She is so much better than the one in the show. Her conversation with Swara gave me a little glimpse of the old Ragini. Although she is aware that her relation with her sister has soured she did the right thing. This seems like a step forward to the choice Sanskar has given her and a hope that she will take the right turn at the crossroad she is on.

And finally Swasan😳😳. Uff that kiss was sooo hottt!!!. Loved each and everything about them. I had such a wide smile on my face as I read the detailed description of Mr Sanskar Maheshwaris eyes. I felt like telling Swara even I am totally fida on those molten chocolate peepers. This was such a treat for us fans especially now when the relationship on TV is moving at an agonizingly slow pace.

Can't wait for Part 3 Viji so update soon. 🤗



Ruqu darling! 🤗 No sorry needed at all, yaar. Am just so happy you take the time to read and comment; your feedback always means a lot to me.

Very glad you liked the 2nd part, and the musical aura I tried to weave into it. The song you referred: Man Mohana, from Jodha Akbar, is one of my favorites. Its Raag Bhairavi, another of my favorite Raagas, if I had planned to make it a 4S instead of a 3S, that would have been the title of the 4th chapter. 😊

You put the difference in the reactions of their respective significant others, to Swara's and Ragini's soulful musical outpourings; so very well. I agree with you completely, music is such a powerful medium, which involves the heart as well as the ears and eyes. Quite often, one can communciate far more powerfully with soulful music, than with mere words.

Sanskaar and Swara have a soul connect. He is able to understand the devotion and faith for him, she is trying to convey. But Lakshya and Ragini, sadly, have no such connect. Though Ragini's thoughts and emotions are so bound up with Lakshya, he is not able to see that at all, value her at all.

I'm really happy to hear you liked Ragini here. Yes, she is proceeding gradually on that path to redemption. She is feeling some undercurrents of envy and anger, but she has started taking definite steps towards the person she used to be, towards the goodness she used to have, before this fanatic obsession poisoned her mind.

About the SwaSan romance---I was in dreamland when I wrote that! 😳 ☺️ So I am very glad you liked reading it. And Swara is bound to notice Sanskaar's molten, soulful eyes na? Who doesn't? 😳

Will be reading and commenting as soon as I reach home Viji🤗 . My work and this god-awful cold of mine are annoying 😡

😲😲😲 - you turned Green? How long have I been gone?😆 Congratulations!🥳

Unres 🤗

Viji You seriously deserve so many Jhappis for this update🤗🤗 That unexpected kiss in the end made me go all😳 Seriously wish this could happen on the show.

Another very important part was how you made Swara explain herself to him. I mean that is what even we were discussing really. That could have only been the most logical explanation to Swara doubting Sanskaar. I still remember the baadi scene and we all know how Sanskaar is super protective of his love and is definitely not afraid to go down that path if it means it was in her best interests so when Swara explains to him why she doubted him I could totally imagine our Sansku grinning at her the way he does in here even on the show instead of going more rarr on her. I am still grinning like an idiot remembering or rather picturing Sansku grinning at her explanation as I am typing this. Aww my adorable SwaSan
You also cleverly manged to weave the story around that really amazing scene on the show where Swara tries to manofy her patidev. Very nicely done Viji.👏 I especially enjoyed reading her desperately trying to get him to notice her and talk to her at the dinner table. She was in a toltal wifey mode - with pooris and curry and becoing kush seeing hubby smile at her! Awww!!!🤗 Mere SwaSan ko kisika nazar na lage!
I am so so happy after reading that part that I can't even tell you how happy that made me!

Coming back from SwaSan land that I would love to stay in forever if I could(😆), I really liked the fact that you yet again included a bit of Ragini into this. I really wish they could handle that character of hers a lot better than the non sense they have turned it into on the show. The one in your story obviously seems more real and sensible , the one I really want to see on screen as well. To see that she fought her demons and saw that SwaSan really weren't her enemies at all and decided to listen to her frenemy made me really happy too. Like I said I really think Sanskaar and Ragini's equation is very special and to see that it means something to her too made me really happy😃

Again the way you so beautifully managed to blend in your concept of music with people ane emotions especially with SwaSan (my Sanskaar❤️) is so amazing Viji. Seriously you are one fabulous writer. I will always be your fan!🤗 You really need to start on a book and publish it. I promise you I'll stand in a line if that's what it takes😆

P.S - No redemption for Devar ji Viji!😈 No! Yeh nahin ho sakta😆



Geethu my dear 🤗 🤗

Huge jhappis to you for this comment. Really made my day today morning when I saw it. 😊 You liked the SwaSan kiss huh? 😳 Well I certainly liked writing it. ☺️ Chalo, I'll put in one more in the next chapter, just for you, pakka!!

Yeah, I really wanted Swara to have at least a half reasonable cause for having that seed of doubt in her mind. The fact is, that she knows how much Sanskaar adores her, how protective he is of her. This could have caused her to have a momentary doubt, if he could have kidnapped Ragini, just to teach her a lesson for having maligned Swara.

Like I made her say in that reconciliation scene, where she erred, was in not realizing immediately, that even if Sanskaar had done it, he would never, ever have let the blame fall on her. He would rather have confessed. Also, he wouldn't have let her undergo so much worry those couple of days, he would have rather told her about it.

I guess that heartfelt explanation and apology melted Sanskaar. 😊 Not to mention Swara's close and romantic observation of his eyes. 😳 I'm so glad you loved both the breakfast scene (Swara fussing over Sanskaar), and the preceding arti scene where she puts all her feelings into her singing, and conveys her faith and belief to him, through that. I wanted to interweave music into this TS, and I'm really happy you felt it worked well.

About Ragini: yeah, she's proceeding slowly up that path to redemption, to rediscovering the good she had in her; before this obsessive pursuit of Lakshya, clouded her mind. She's still tamping down on the reidual negative emotions of jealousy and bitterness, but she's realized that both Sanskaar and Swara, will help her along the path towards the person she used to be. And she also sees how much they mean to each other. 😊

And I agree with you completely--- no redemption for Devar Ji yet! 😈 He hasn't yet accepted where he went wrong---its always an entitlement complex, a victim complex of what others did to him. Never mind his own juvenile, asinine and impulsive actions! So he still needs a lot more time, first for the realization, then repentance and finally his redemption. Not possible in the near or medium term! 😆

Viji Dear, Music can soothe the most distressed minds and restless souls. You might find this peculiar but I have a weird fascination with the composition of soundtracks in movies. You know The Lion King , I was so obsessed with its sound track when it was first released and since then Hans Zimmer has been my favourite music composer. Just listen to the score of The Last Samurai. Its simply soul stirring and haunting at the same time. My brother tells me I am weird, because I download the scores and listen to them 😆. And Manmohama is also my favourite. I listen to it many times. Viji Please try and put it in the third part if you are able to.😊 And Frankly I just hate the direction the show has taken. It has completely lost track and essence of Swaragini.
There is no rational explanation and logic to the demand Dadi has put forward.

Viji dear, One more request Please write a fic on the Benaras trip. I so wanted this to happen. Though I love this whole Swara pining for Sanskar track but I would have loved it if we could have got more of the confident and flirty Sanskar trying to get closer to Swara and eventually making her realize she is in love with him. But no rush, I know you are still working on this current one and you are also very busy. So whenever the time is convenient😃

Hey Ruqu. ..not weird at all yaar. I love soundtracks too...I also hum the background tunes long after the memory of the movie itself has faded. 😊 Will definitely follow your recommendation and listen to the soundtrack of The Last Samurai.

Sure, I'll think of writing a piece on the Benares trip after this. I wanted to do one on that car explosion, which never happened on the serial finally . 😊 So might make it a 2S, covering the aftermath of the blast and then SwaSan trip to Benares. Let's see.
