Oh yes, I remember that starting para in Icarus so well. ...the nature of victory in SK's mind. Lovely symmetry there, with Annapurna's thoughts at the close. I am a HUGE fan of symmetry and symbolism, and you do give me generous dollops of that on your pieces: a scoop of pecan nut crunch and a scoop of cookies and cream worth. 😉Oh I remember you telling me then (during our discussion about Sanskaar's doubts regarding his own inherited traits), that you were going to put him through a lot of pain with such doubts. But somehow I thought you were referring to FK, with his fears regarding his blood ties to Chandraraj, a man he so detested.I LOVED your take on this aspect in FK too, as I did your take here in Calypso, vis a vis Durga Prasad. Aaarrrghhh it is so darned hard to choose between your pieces. ...but as a winter lady, I must say that the winterland saga (IK/SQ/FK and winds of winter), holds a very very special, irrevocable place in my heart, amongst all your writing. 😛 Next to that, I am still torn whether I love Icarus/Calypso Or Elixir more...Maybe I will re read Elixir this weekend and then decide. 😉On second thoughts why choose now...when I have 2 more works of yours to look forward to in the (I hope) very near future?
