I should say this, it took me a moment to actually imagine the set of people in a different attire but once that's done the story just flowed till one point. The metaphorical description of swara and Sanskar. The sun dawned upon his darkest nights at last. Take A bow for that. It was amazing how you externalised his darkened soul and her radiant joyful one and so deftly painted them on to the canvases of our imaginations. The sun beaming behind her as he stood frozen in his darkness:)

Thankyou You for the pm.
Waiting for more.

Hey Nalini 🤗

I hope it wasn't the writing that put you to sleep 😆. Only kidding as the rest of your lovely words say otherwise. You know, that is why to date I have always written as per the show- I often find it odd to think of changing the whole thing to a different world but I am really enjoying it here! I can totally understand that- it takes a while to visualise a whole new setting and identity for characters we are so used to seeing a certain way! I am glad that the story held you despite that. Thanks so much for your appreciation, really happy you enjoyed that SwaSan scene- I loved your eloquent take on it! More to come soon!

Love,
S x

Wowww Shruti..This new story is amazing...🤗

I love royal setting a lot and it will be amazing to read about Swasan love story in such a beautiful setting..😳😳

The prologue was quite interesting..😃😃 Rani Sahiba AP came to rescue Prince Sanskaar from the dark dungeons..👏 I just loved the way you portrayed the Queenly aura of AP and the determined and strong character of Prince Sanskaar..😳

And then the first part😳 began with the arrival of the Gadodias.. So Ragini and Lakshya's match is already set by the elders..😉 And I am quite sure Lakshya is going to fall for Swara..😆

So Sanskaar is nor mentally ill after all..So he is planning for some revenge..And I am so shocked to read that he is still held in a prison, even at home..😲

And what I loved the most was the soul connection between Swasan..Wow Shruti..I was having goosebumps reading about the way Swara's eyes found him and Sanskaar's eyes kept darting towards her all the time..Swara could feel his thoughts..👏 I am already a fan of this story..😳😳

Eagerly awaiting the next update..😃

Love
Naina


Naina dear! 🤗
How have you been? Been missing chatting to you! Thank you hugely for your comments and kind words! So pleased you like this. You are after all one of those really skilled at creating whole new worlds so this means a lot!
Glad you like AP and Sanskaar. Haha- seems like everyone is guessing an angle for Lakshya and Swara! And yes, Sanskaar is not mad. Re the prison, he is under some form of guard but it is not as restrictive as an actual prison. Just that he has to be watched as whilst believed mad, he was considered dangerous and also in his "madness" can be unpredictable. So happy to read how much you liked the soul connect scene:)! I'll be back with another chapter soon!

Lots of love xoxo

Hey Shru...

Really liked the way you etched the meeting of the Maheshwaris and the Gadodias, the interactions and the atmosphere, the setting and the dressing, 😊 bringing to life a meeting which happens in the early years of the Nineteenth century. I could almost see the scene unfolding before my eyes, with the sepia toned tint of my imagination evoked by your historical setting! 😛

I found the family dynamics you'd explained fascinating. Janaki being apparently more indulgent towards her step daughter---the effervescent, ebullient, cheerful Swara. And the placid, pale, retiring Ragini being closer to her step mom, the beautiful, captivating Sharmishta.

And Sujata! 🤢 She openly says she's closer to Lakshya though she's Sanskaar's Mom, and happily also says that Annapurna is closer to her own son. What a weird mother she is...😕

But the highlight of the chapter for me, was your adaptation of that memorable "soul connect" scene from the serial, to illustrate the stirrings of a similar bond between an angel flitting about in the bright sunlit day, and a demon cloaked in the darkness of a barred room. 👏 👏 Angels & Demons, indeed!

And the way the powerful bond drew their gaze towards each other was awesome. Swara could not help but notice the burning intensity in his perusal, even though at such a distance. 😉 I just worry since Sanskaar has decided he "hates" her, since she represents all the joy, all the sunniness in his nature which was lost, no, stolen from him. I just fear that in the mistaken notion of this "hate"---which we all know isn't hate at all---he would take some steps which really wound that gentle spirit. But he would realize, soon enough, wouldn't he, what the powerful, blazing emotion he feels is?

Waiting for the angel and the demon to be drawn towards each other, powerless against their intertwined destinies! 😳 ☺️ And then, of course, ultimately, the demon would be revealed to be no less than a prince! 😉 Ohh...the feels...Shru, can't wait! 😊


Vij sweetheart 🤗 x 10

Was so anxious to see what you thought as I was not sure if this chapter did its job properly and I can rest easy having read what you have so kindly said! If you can visualise, it will do for me.

Yes, Janaki and Sharmistha have taken each others' offspring to heart! Sujata will be Sujata I guess! Don't know how to minimise her silliness. So so happy you liked the re-working of that soul connect scene! I so wanted to get this established between them at the start only. Aha, as you perfectly captured, the overwhelming emotion which he translates as hate is of course not that but Sanskaar is incapable at the moment of seeing it any other way. Let's see how this plays out as there will be others wanting to harm Swara too! I feel so pleased to see you looking forward to this! I am very nervous but excited too!

Love you always sis xoxo

Loving this awesome tale, Shruti ! 👏 The backdrop, the build up and the super strong character sketches so far !

The Sanskaar who is equally brave, stoic, yet a live bomb, just ticking away...waiting to explode ! AP again here, a strong, awe inspiring and truly imperial Maa to her Sanskaar ! A strong Shomi, indulgent to her Ragini, and a Ragini who is again that simple guileless belle..but in this case, already showing signs of not being that in her essence..Superb! 😃

The surprise of course was Janaki...alive, warm, loving her Swara ! Youve got me wondering why she is alive !😆 She must have a strong role to play then !

But the moment that caught me, was that cosmic connection of an interlude between Swasan.👍🏼..so their attention is already caught..they are already connected, despite not even being in touching/good viewing distance of one another ! Loved that brief awareness of one another, despite all the distractions all around them !

With the palace intrigues, the juxtaposition of battles royale, the earthy 'feels' of the dungeons, the physical torture of the body holding a mind that remained untamed, the medieval age atmosphere...this is one tale that I cant wait to see taking off and capture centre stage of all our collective attention !

Thanks for a great start and Waiting for the next !

Until then, 🤗 for another treat !


Hey Pic dear!! 🤗

Where have you been? Been missing you! Thank you so much for coming to this and for the wonderful comments you have left me, my bedtime treat!

I like the idea of a ticking time bomb Sanskaar- he is that! Glad you liked the characters so far and Janaki 😆😆, you know me too well!

So pleased you too liked the SwaSan scene, which was to imply their immediate connect, no matter what form it took. I so hope I don't disappoint you all and I'll do my best to bring more to light in the coming chapters! Please keep reading and giving me your feedback!

Much love always xoxo

Shruti..🤗..what a fantastic start to your story...its absolutely spell binding 👏...I have always been enamoured with stories dealing with royalty and your story has the backdrop of the rajputana, my eternal favourite...so how can I miss out on this..😉...history by default always beckons me...

Prologue itself set the pace of the story when queen AP came to rescue prince Sanskaar from the dungeons...was absolutely sure that he cannot be mad...a person if after so much of in human torture can give a death glare to his tormentor, that person cannot be mad even in anyone's worst nightmares ...of course his faculties were all at the right place..😉.
The arrival of gadodias was interesting...ah you kept Janki alive in this one and she traces her lineage to the sisodia clan 😲...amongst all the royal houses of rajputana, the sisodias are my favourite and well the least was the Marwar dynasty for me, though they were stinking rich even for the royals...all thanks to their flourishing business of Marwari horses among others...sisodia's were of a different mettle all together and till that they are considered to be the supreme amongst all the rajgharanas 😃...lols I digressed...sorry about that
ok so Janki is fond of swara...interesting...and am glad that you showed the soul connection between the two here also in your story...sanskaar getting distracted by swara flitting around in the courtyard...😆...am sure the charming princeling, our very own Lakshya will obviously fall for swara and then our prince Sanskaar will make his move...whoa..me hooked...
Ragini, here also timid but even then there's a strange sense of foreboding...she's not so cool, calm and collected from inside as she projects herself to be...and me super glad that here you showed swara as the ethereal beauty, just like her mother..though Ragini is also beautiful but is no match for swara...hmmm interesting times ahead...😛
ok just a teeny weeny niggle...Rana Durga Prasad Maheshwari just does not sit too well...if only there was one *singh* somewhere in his name,, it would have been great...if you noticed, almost all the royal houses in rajputana despite whatever their titles, always had *singh* in their name...apologies for voicing out my discomfort with the absesne of *singh* in royal name, as even the samants and their vassals had *singh* in their names...
you have a very descriptive way of writing and as a result I could visualise the entire thing happening in front of me say like a movie 😃...am glad that I caught this story on time...😳..
Waiting anxiously for the story to unfold..😃.
cheers

Dear Shruti,
Firstly, my apologies!. I was quite bogged down at work and really did not get a chance to read till today😭

Now to the story - a historical romance - my favourite genre and you had me at the very beginning, with the quote from 'A Tale of Two Cities' (a perennial favourite, inspite of it being a tragic love story). - how it sets the ambiance. 👏👏👏
And you have me hooked - how quickly will we get to read the other chapters. (Not very patient - not me - especially when it comes to books)
