Hello Akshata! 🤗
I'm back!

I knew I was keeping you waiting too long... sorry! My trip was great! 😃

So right - everyone hurt in this part... the past has left its mark on Sanskaar, Lakshya has huge guilt and self loathing for his behaviour... and Ragini, of course, is still coming to grips with the multifarious consequences of her actions.

Swara - who has forgiven everyone -- is now feeling for each one of them in turn! She's a really nice girl! ⭐️❤️

Part of why I'm drawing out this Guilt and Remorse saga is for her sake and for my own sake... I was very devastated on her behalf when all that happened. Those who did ill by her should, in all fairness, cry 'khoon ke aansu'... it's proper and just that they do. Not necessarily by paying for their actions but at least in remorse.

Yes, the healing should be done on this trip - and they need never look back again! What we discussed is coming up in the next 😃
Much love, 🤗
Bubble

Hey, no need for sorries.. The story is back and so are u😛😛 And swara is truly an angel for her forgiving nature.. Truly, redemption is any day better than 'tit for tat'.. This kind of khoon ke aansu is more productive.. So the next update has interesting stuff.. Cool.. Eagerly waiting😃

Hello bubble!!

Firstly let me tell you just like every one do that I'm a big fan of your amazing work! I have been silently reading your updates for so long and your last update being a made realise how much I missed it. I have almost considered asking you for the update but held myself back thinking that you must have got caught up in something more important. But now that you are finally back from the break let me tell you how much I appreciate the way your characters unfurled.

Usually I would start on Sanskar but here it's all lakshya for me. You seriously out did everyone on the forum with that character. The lakshya we had and still have is the serial should really learn loads from this lakshya. Forget about taking a leaf from his book the guy from the serial should actually take his book. your guy reads a lot! That's the most subtle way of putting down how stable he is. I really don't have to draw down the differences but this one point gives away a lot of his character. He is not just mature and holds himself responsible for ragini's state of mind. But he is courageous enough to accept his mistakes to the fullest and with out letting guilt gnaw at his conscience makes himself capable of setting things right in a much saner way than any.
I really respect him a lot.
You almost make him Sanskar 2.0 but that stops there.
Because Sanskar is altogether a different person. He is absolutely a piece of cake. Thankyou for containing him so well. I like an angry Sanskar. I really do. But you did something beautiful to him too. I don't have words here. He is not handsome dashing angelic or romantic. He is not scheming plotting demonic and formidable. He is so perfect. You know perfection is not one thing, it keeps changing constantly moulding itself yet staying perfect. Dynamic. That's what he is. He has the right things to do. The right words to say. The right reactions . Calm and clear as water.
I have to say I have come to respect both the brothers.

And what you did with ragini was simply superb. Making her realise the depth of her mistakes one by one while giving her the chance to correct them at a controlled pace. making her talk her insecurities. Letting him understand her more deeply and helping her out of them all with such amazing subtlety. Swara's innocence. Her mixed emotions.there are still a lot I have to tell you on how much I adore them. But I'm really running out of time. So probably next time?

I really adore these four

Bdw the last update is so amazing. Lakshya's reaction and swara's words made my day. If only we could get more of that on screen. But more on it later. Going now..
Please let me know when you update.


Love
Nalini


Dear Nalini! 🤗

Thank you so so much for these heartwarming words! I'm so pleased you like this fan fiction! For reading and for telling me what you think about it all.

It was to be a story of redemption and I felt that only Lakshya could do it - because only he had something that Ragini wanted, and only he could give it to her - himself.
So it was a carrot and stick approach to making her come back to the 'Sahi Raasta' so to speak. So he was quite central to my story... and I am indeed happy with the way he has turned out. Not just idealistic but pretty well rounded, IMO. Also a challenge because they pulled the character to mud in the serial...

Swara and Sanskaar were a fangirl's delight to write about - I loved loved how they fleshed out Sanskaar in the serial, the way he stood by her, the way he agonised in her agony... he's a hero, no doubt about that.
I don't know if it applies to my characterisation of Sanskaar, but how well you describe perfection!! 😲👏 An ever changing, dynamic rightness!! Beautiful! I loved what you said.

I wasn't sure if Ragini would come out the way I wanted - but she did seem to emerge. My Swara turned out more innocent, a little softer even but I like her like this - a giving person who doesn't count the cost of giving.

Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me all this... readers like you make it special 😳🤗

Thank you so much, Simi!
It was an old wound that Laksh exposed today... letting down the girl you're supposed to be marrying - it has to be traumatic for any sensitive guy and Swara was in a spot about how to console him. But she managed 😊
Glad you liked it 🤗

Really loved the PART 60 update, Bubble dear..🤗
I was so happy when I received your PM..😃😃
So now Swara's fears have melted away in the holy water..Really enjoyed her excitement in the water..😳

Sanskaar is also proud of her but he felt troubled when he saw her teeth chatter..😲 He was reminded of the trauma both of them faced in the car after Ragini tried to murder Swara..I really loved the way you wrote it dear..Nice thinking from your part..👏

Also when Sanskaar explained his trouble to them, Lakshya and Ragini too felt guilty of their behaviours after/at the time of those sequence of incidents.

And our ever charming Swara made them all feel relieved by her sweet talks..😳😳

Dear Bubble,
Now I understand what homecoming means !

I have been traveling followed by a hectic work schedule, so have not been visiting the Forum. Today I finally log in to read all the updates

This update was amazing - a simple action - of Swara shivering uncontrollably, becauase of a dip in the cold waters and it brings out the hidden guilt, remorse and angst from Sanskaar, Lakshya and Ragini (understated but there, nevertheless).

As Nalini mentioned, your characterisation of Lakhysa is the best (it is what I have always felt) - making mistakes is human but accepting, acknowledging and working towards forgiveness needs ample courage - at times even more courage than is needed to forgive the transgressors.

I simply love how the four of them are slowly moving forward and would soon reach a point where they could look back and not be overwhelmed by the negative emotions.

Do update soon.

love,
Nyna
