Viji my dear...🤗

at last you have managed to write on "air"...It indeed is an interesting element...one moment it can be calm and soothing and then another it can suddenly turn in to a vicious gale, resulting in destruction...but then aren't most of the elements like that barring "sky"...😊.

I really liked the way you portrayed lakshya here...looks like our lucky boy is slowly making his presence felt...atta boy..😉...the way you portrayed the old astrologer's discomfort in telling the truth to the doting parents was very nice...and of course I could visualise him having hot tea with bhujia and kachori...and while reading that I also started craving for these savoury items...😆

I was blown away with the mature way lakshya handled sanskaar after that accident, while swara was wheeled in to OT...n also lakshya did manage to pay attention in his science class to remember the three F's. 😲...amazing ...so unlike lakshya 😛...but you know sometimes it indeed is difficult to judge a book by its cover..😳

And finally swara and sanskaar scene was amazing as usual and yeah Darjeeling is really beautiful...and the views of Kanchenjunga is so amazingly awesome from there...Darjeeling holds a special place in every Bengali's heart...😃

hmm one request...if its not too much of a trouble then can you please extend this os...I mean I really would love to know how Lakshya would go about neutralizing Ragini...😛

I have not been watching the serial of late...but I try to keep myself updated...I have completely lost interest...the last epi I saw was the helicopter one and that too the next day on repeat...my senses in unable to take any more nonsense and I am definitely not subjecting my little brain to this stupidity...again recycling the story...

and as for lakshya i don't condemn him for doing what he's doing at present...male psyche and female psyche are very different...and above all Ragini did what she did, for LOVE ( though obsession would be the right word..), but for Lakshya it's simply WAR...and as we all know the saying "everything is fair in love and war"...Ragini has gone too far and imo she cannot be redeemed...and i refuse to accept her with lakshya life long as fevicol ka jod...Lakshya deserves better...period!!!...Ragini should either die or be admitted in to psychiatry ward...and that is the only realistic solution...why oh why are our shows so far removed form reality...😭

once again thanks for the mention...😃...please keep writing more...i might not be watching the serial anymore ( though keep myself updated 😛 )...but swasan will always remain close to my heart and i still take out time to read all these wonderful stories ...

cheers

Awww... awesome work Viji. Must say you are very meticulous. Calcutta in 1991 and Kolkata in 2016 is one such example! 😊

Loved the bonding between Laksh and Sanskar and am very intrigued as to what Sanskar told Laksh in those 3 hours which the other will remember forever but won't tell! 😊

Absolutely adored the post Swara's manjha accident part. This reaction is so plausible and realistic than the wishy washy way the CVs dealt with it. The build up of Mahaepisode could not have crashed more by the sloppy work of the CVs. That is why it was such a treat to read your OS. In hindi they say kalejeko thandak pahuchi! 😃

Res to read after crazy day ahead! 🤗🤗

Unres (*sheepish me*):

I know we have agreed to dispense with formalities of sorries and thank yous but I feel frustrated at having had to wait for so long before commenting but I didn't want a rushed job with people screaming urgency on the side!

I am so glad you finished the last quartet of the Elements series, which you know I love a lot. And also, that this one deals with Lakshya, post redemption. Actually, Anna, Shruti and I were discussing this the other day, they have done such a good job of redeeming Lakshya in the show, I can scarce believe I like this character now! He really fills the space that was so missing IMO- that of Sanskaar's much needed friend and also a support system now to Swara, given the otherwise truly negative influences that the show seems to endlessly focus on so much 🤢.

As usual, written with your customary finesse, this was such a great read for various reasons. One of it was the obvious- that is truly detailed Lakshya's changed feelings and in fact transformed psyche but in such a believable and logical way- as I know we can always rely on from you and your excellent pieces. Loved the linking of the childhood prediction made for Lakshya, which though hidden from the parents, came true for a part of his life. I particularly love reading about the interaction of fate vs will and have often had huge debates with people on this point. Here, the way his life did go awry in that way and all the unsavoury effects of being a true air sign came to pass but in the end, he regained his balance and restored order, not only to himself, but also helped with others, particularly SwaSan. Fantastically done sis 👏👏. I just found it fascinating to read his very believably changing emotions here- people CAN and DO change if they WANT to- shown here perfectly.

I felt Lakshya's totally understandably palpable frustration and loathing of his evil wife. It seriously made me feel so sorry for him 😭. Now that he's so beautifully redeemed, it crashes home that he was never truly evil like Ragini is and he so deserves much better than her. I also like this Lakshya- being able to control himself despite the obvious struggle to curtail her nasty and vindictive gloating! I so wish this "air" would turn into a cyclone and carry the Viper away to a far far off place, never to be found again! 😆

Now coming to the parts to love best! SwaSan! I was so so disappointed with the way the CVs let us down (yes, again!) on the show in terms of the reaction we all wanted to see from Sanskaar after he found Swara almost strangled. The episode when he first sees her showed the most incredibly moving reaction and then the next day- total let down and focus shift to more stupid drama! So this was the balm and how wonderfully you applied it. The whole reaction of Sanksaar brought tears to my eyes, I could feel his pain and fear burst from the page. And Swara being recalled to life literally by her subconscious, tied to him and activated by his voice was so incredibly moving, I was truly overcome! I also loved the scene of Sanskaar crying in her arms- the whole thing so beautiful and almost spiritual. Plus, the way Lakshya was so moved but not in a jealous or mean way, was lovely too.

Another little touch but one that truly made an impact for me was the whole scene between the brothers and in particular Sanksaar not remembering a word of his ramblings and Lakshya not forgetting! 👏 This is so so true and I have experienced this at a particularly bad time with my mum so I could instantly relate and it really moved me.

All in all, of course no surprise that I loved it! I have read and re-read a few times in the midst of the week from hell and it was such a hope-giving piece! Love you loads sis xoxoxo

This is fabulous , so much of effort in da details just made the os even more interesting and awesome.how beautifully u depicted sanskaars emotions thru lakhysas eyes. Absolutely loved the way u brought back swara , cant imagine a better way to convey the depth of the love and strength of their bond.I don't y but when i read ur work I always feel that u see swasan relationship and bond as something that the word LOVE is not adequate enough to describe it , the depth and intensity off it is very beautifully depicted in ur work and I love seeing swasan thru ur eyes. Beautifully done !!!

Lakshya Maheshwari.. This character was so infuriating at one time that even treating him with mild neglect was nearly impossible. But look at how this character is slowly and subtly changing. In this journey called life everybody arrives at a juncture where they pause to ponder and reflect on the course it has taken. It was high time for Lakshya to make this necessary stop and contemplate on his journey so far. Everybody has their moments of introspection. But this seems to be completely lost on Ragini. How can she not be consciously aware of what she has become. One one hand I so want Ragini to get a taste of her own medicine. She has inflicted innumerable miseries on all of them yet I don't want Lakshya to be completely taken away with this surge of hatred for Ragini.

It took some time but It has finally dawned on Lakshya that he and Swara were never meant to be together and has learned to let her go. The love for his brother has also resurfaced, this time to a greater degree and he proved it by standing at his brothers side, ready to support him in any way he can. I did not watch the epi where Swara is getting strangled and the aftermath of that epi but I don't even need to. Nobody can project the depth , breadth and width of Sanskar's emotions for Swara better than you. And I just loved the entire vision of Swara in the woods moving towards the light. As I was reading I thought she would also see Sanskar dressed in white reaching out to pull her back to the realm of consciousness. But his woodsy scent was more than enough to revive Swara😃. Earthy Sanskar bringing Swara back to Earth!!

I am really glad you decided to write this piece on Lakshya and shine a new light on him. The astrology part was really interesting to read. Its kind of fascinating how planetary alignments can influence a person's personality.

Fabulous Viji!! 🤗

Dearest Viji,

Returned home today, and returned to IF also, this was the first thing I read, it had the homely and welcoming warmth my room had as I entered it, felt equally lovely and soothing...just as precious as a welcome home gift, thank you so much for writing this awesome piece!

As I have told you before, Earth was my initial favorite of all your work, I simply adore that one still, but my most favorite nowadays is the dyuth parva series. However, the element series had been wonderful and ingenious creation and I love it so much. It was what that made me your fan actually...

Coming to air, the element seems tailor fit to Lakshya at his current situation. Can I confess I feel a wee bit sympathy towards him now?

His approach to Ragini seems called for, the exact thing she deserves and his concern for his brother's relationship seems very brotherly it had warmed some part of my heart. I still don't trust him fully...but, I have rested my hatred for now.

The guy has been through a lot and he needs a break, a breath of freedom and some space away from that...god what do you call her now...fool perhaps, evil fool Ragini!

Honestly what you reflected here is exactly her true color, as long as something might prove her right she would not give is a cent how evil or dangerous or life threatening that thing is. Seriously, will she ever be redeemed? I wonder...

The disgust Lakshya felt for her, the skin crawling, repulsiveness is something I can understand, while reading her speech I felt the same feeling rising in my throat, as if I wanted to vomit, god, give Lakshya all the strength to deal with this she-demon!

Coming to Lakshya, the first part depicting his horoscope being made, that was classy stuff, the way you described the thoughts rising and falling in the mind of the priest as he calculated, rejected and formed theories and planned how well to present them, that last touch about how Annapurna hardly heard his warning, was superb...and had a epic like quality in to it.

The present day Lakshya reminds me of a isolated precipice standing in the middle of the sea, it is smooth now, after the storms had continuously beaten the rough edges off, still hard as the natural qualities can't be removed but strong enough to change the direction of the wind that had initially changed its persona. He has finally matured hasn't he, some light has been captured by him. I'm glad, he is a worthy brother now.

The moment between brothers...the way one talked in order to keep himself from fearful thoughts and the other listened in order to keep holding to that precious moment he finally obtained, that was pure gold, so warm and lovely. Coated with emotions.

I felt for both of them, and I admire Lakshya here, for what he did for his brother.

I can't ignore that wonderful edit you made to the flight or flight response, fight, flight or freeze...it sounded wonderfully true as I have myself often found wandering closer to that freeze one...

What will be the use of this comment if I don't acknowledge the SwaSan part. Swara regaining consciousness was my absolute favorite there. The gentle, familiar, beloved voice calling her back from the swirl of lost day happy memories...that would make a beautiful scene visually if the CVs ever wonder of using something like that. It looked lovely in my imagination.

I can imagine the heartbroken, panicked Sanskar...that image breaks my heard and blurs my eyes... But this is the response I hoped from him. He is a man who had once held his dying love in his arms (Lets forget her coming back to life) going through it once again would be intolerable...he won't certainly survive it. Poor, poor Sanskar...

I can go on, but I have an overloaded inbox which needs to be checked, so I end this here. I have no more words to tell you how blissful I feel right now. You do have a gift of making me speechless!

loads of love,

Saku

ps: I love you for not posting Meraki this week, I would have been mourning if you had, as I had no internet to read anything at all. Wish you all the meraki possible to write it as you see fit. And thank you so very very much for wishing me luck...my exam however got postponed, now I have more time to prepare myself to face my terrors.
