Dear Nita,
I know I res'ed for chapter 8 but it has been so long so posting my comments here for both 8 and 9.
Chapter 8 - Sanskaar's introspection - well Nita, that was a lovely portrayal of Sanskaar's thought process, clear logical and not devoid of emotions. He does think with his heart and act with his mind; which is why he knows that he would always care for Swara's happiness and if walking out of the marriage would be her ultimate decision (we know it won't but he doesn't) he would let her do so, even if it was not what he wanted. And that his where his mind cautions his heart -but when in the history of human existence did the heart ever listen to the mind - and the heart did throw a googly to the mind - it was silenced when the heart wanted to know what would be the course of action if Swara fell in love with him but he did not; so round 1 goes to the heart.
The touches of humour were great - Sanskaar answers Adarsh's call greeting him as Swara - way to go - if this was counted as a round in the game - then even round would go to the heart.
Sujatha - however well she means her actions end up proving otherwise. But Sanskaar is always there to save the day. He is so considerate and the scene where he introduces Swara to his parents and her response - very touching. Then the slight angst for Swara - the unidentified girl in the photographs - (cleared in the next chapter, so am not dwelling on that here)
The party invitation - such different reactions for the four of them - Sanskaar hesitant, Swara accepting, Lakshya (his cupid playing role is going to create too many problems) and jealousy in Ragini (she truly has a long way to go) And finally the rain - unsure of the results: Ragini falls sick because she got drenched while it is indirectly the cause of decrease in distance between Swara and Sanskaar (sort of - the pillow wall is not too much of a wall)
Chapter 9 - Sanskaar wakes up to find Swara's hand still on his chest and he is careful to get up without disturbing her. And then he ended up babysitting - he does not mind that, though.
I feel sorry for Swara though, she seems to be facing flak from her mother too, agreed it was out of concern that Sharmishta admonished her, but then maybe Sharmishta could have been a little more tactful. And after that she had to be confronted with Ragini's confessions though she seemed to handle those fine- competitions huh - sounds interesting, very very interesting especially considering who the judges are - Sujatha, Lakshya who loves Ragini but is more interested in playing cupid (so he might favour Swara hoping to impress Sanskaar - plausible and it would be with the expected disastrous results) and Sanskaar who would be trying his best to be fair and considerate.
Considerate he was, he so correctly guessed the dilemma that Swara would be in and his gesture and the words explaining his actions (that it was only a gift which she could take as though from a friend and not an obligation) - how considerate - Swara is slowly being won over - unknown to her. And then the party arrangements - the absence of the subtle and elegant touches; sigh when would Laksh learn - Poor SwaSan, angry but unable to show the same so they get it out by discussing what they could do to Laksh short of killing him outright.
Those girls - it is true that people are callous and petty but then it would be nice if they at least, gave some consideration to where they were - but Swara's reply was good. She goes searching for Sanskaar, seeking comfort and instead has to contend with his ''ex-girlfriend' (thankfully as per her statement) and Sanskaar is quick to clear the air. Is is surprising how blind some can be - here is Sanskaar completely brushing her off and yet Tara goes on and on about how he was her first love etc.
The ride back home was one of recounting - So Sanskaar is also slowly realising that maybe his heart is beating to a different tune when it comes to Swara.
The SanLak conversation - talking to Laksh must feel like banging one's head against a brick wall - no make that a stone wall - he just not get it. Laksh should realise that not everyone has the same views that he does and it would be wise to let others make their own decisions - especially if it concerns Sanskaar and Swara. For his sake, I hope he does learn soon. And what a contrast the talk and sharing between Swara and Sanskaar - maturity and understanding that they display.
And finally Uttara's bewilderment - nobody told her about Kavita walking out and Sanskaar marrying Swara! Wonder how she would react!
Please do update soon.
