<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I was so excited when I saw this posted and you certainly delivered like I knew you would dearest Nalini. I love this first update after the prologue.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The wholedescription of an aged Sanskaar and Swara was sopowerfully made- such dignity and beauty in them still- oractually I should sayexactly as weshouldexpect from acouple like this. I loved the idea of Sanskaarsitting there lost in thewonderfulmemories and starting that with thereference to that long ago letter, treasured andcherished over a long lifetime was so touching I had tears smart at my eyes. What made them fall was the scene where herushes over to his beloved and envelopes her in hisembrace andwarms her like he hasbeen doing in moreways than thephysical of theirlong journeytogether.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Then the whole flashback to how Sanskaar had beenawayand Swara was so sweetlyliterally pining away for him but like their souls call each other, he had heard anyway and he wasback and sneaking in naughtily tosurprise her inthe best way possible.Theirsheer unbridled passion, the whole imagery of them unable to stop theircaresses and love, onthat woodenfloor andjust the fullimpact oftheir love and ardour- so sobeautiful. Theirsheer delight was perfectly shown and then the link to even now when they are old andalmost at the end of theirlife but still so connected and at one with each other- it all jumped off my screen at me! Of coursespecial mention to the lyrics beingcompleted sobeautifully on what waspreciously a blank page for Swara but filled with poetryby the power of his love- what a lovely build up!</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Just sweetly and tenderlybeautiful Nalini! Willeagerly await the next one!</font>

Shruthi 🤗


How is your health? Do take rest and get well soon. I do understand your excitement about dark knight and we are all equally excited too. Yet, take some rest. That's really what you need right now.

Thank you so much for telling me that I could reach up to your imagination. That's so awesome 😳
I would love to keep that going.

Awww...it was not my intention to bring tear but looks like I don't have another way shruthi. When time comes everyone should go. But love doesn't. And love as our as theirs will only become eternal and lifeless. Swasan are really made as such. Their love being born out of the toughest situations might stand long and strong but someday somewhere they as beings bound to the nature should perish. But I'm all determined to make it seamless for them here. And I promise to do that as better as I could. Yet I should also say km touched with your reactions to those lines. It means that I was actually able to deliver what I wanted to. Though not to the mark of perfection.im so humbled shruthi. Thank you


Sometimes I think if it would be weird for an almost 70 yr old to look back at those early memories of arduous and amorous times. Or that the readers might think so. But I also think that love is a dynamic thing. It flows from being platonic to arduous. From being amorous to reasonable. And then to caring and comfort as one grows. Yet the intensity stays the same. The bond only strengthens with age. And what more example do we need that swasan to prove that right.

I'm so happy you loved the recollection and think it beautifully fits to be the first one. Yes the passion was rather hot if you ask me. But let me say I tried to hold it back. Reminding myself that its a memory of a 70yr old. I hoped so much for it to not turn vulgar. Looks like it didn't. I'm.glad

Yes he caught on her blank page with that song. Swara being unable to come up with a song itself shows how much she was missing him. And when he catches up for her. That's such a complimentary act. Truely they two are more than a part of each other

Thank you so much for those wonderful words shruthi

Lots of love
Nalini

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">What a delightful series - I loved the prologue - the eternal conflict between destiny and free will is something, that is extremely fascinating and irresistible to me - I guess I was hooked from the start.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">And good for me that I could read both the prolouge and the #1 at once (the guessing game would have killed me😉)</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">So the first memoir is of Swara pining away for Sanskaar and actually chiding herself for wanting to call him back (she need not have worried, he was missing her just as much).</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">And her joy at him materialising ''from her dreams' - lovely.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">That song - 'Pyar se pukarlo' is one of my personal favourites, despite being sung by Hemant kumar😉(Rafi/Manna dey and Kishore are my favourite male singers).</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Here's to more memoirs from you!</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">lots of love,</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Nyna</font>

Hello nyna.

Thank you so much. Nice to see you back:)
That was so nice you, considering it delightful and interesting to hook along. And you say its short?
When all I'm happy with is a tiny appreciating nod.

Yes they missed each other so much. And its so obvious from how he looks. Swara being self sacrificing will always hold back her feelings but sanskar will always be there for her. He would be in front of her at the the slightest sign of desperation.

Yes the songs my favorite too. But any kind of songs suits them so well. Don't you think?

Thank you so much for those words nyna. I'm so glad to have read then.

Lots of love
Nalini

Hello Olivia 😊

Yes you are right about the three fates. They guide the thread of life as per a predetermined fate. But that ends there because there is always something called free will that clashes with fates. And the fates also determine every detail of one's life. They just deal with the crucial juntires. This story is about such clashes. As I go on I'll try to add layers and make it clear. I Hope you will stick on to the thread till then :)

Swara and sanskar are right now fragile with age and sanskar has her fragile health to care for while trying to be strong himself. With their love they will fight whatever Illness it is that's trying to pull them apart. I consider sanskar as a man of his words.so I would always imagine him keep them on.i respect him the deepest that way. I hope I'll be able to do justice with the story.

Thanks for the awesome comment

Lots of love

Beautiful!! Absolutely beautiful memories! 🤗 Laced with romance, longing, passion.. Such sweetness... BTW one small doubt, in 2018 swasan were separated for 6months?? Due to work?? Or was sanskar too busy to give time to Swara those 6months?? Swara's longing was so well worded, you could feel how much she missed him... And why Nalini?? Why should an angelic soul like swara suffer from Parkinson's syndrome?? Or maybe its not her since u haven't mentioned names yet.. Mental optimism i tell u🤪😆 The timed blooming of the lilies and...Tea in Darjeeling?? Really? Trust Sanskar to come with such lovely surprises Eagerly waiting for next..
