Res for 25 and. 26
*Updated for Chapter 25*
Shruuu...so sorry for delaying so much on this, but I know you will excuse me :) I'd like to reiterate that these udpates have been quite refreshing in my otherwise boring days !
I will update comments a chapter at a time if that's okay with you...
Swara's grey mood complemented by the grey weather is such a lovely comparison ! I feel for the princess..she reaches that fountain which not only marks the start of the journey as you've put it, but also start of her relationship with the prince...the thought of whom is causing her heart to rip ! poor baby ! 😭
I love the connundrum the two mothers face, believing Swara equals believing the other daughter is a fiend, almost a monster who wanted to slay this one ! But still so glad that Swara stood her ground and did not cower under the triad,especially when she speaks to the two mums about layign the blame where it belongs !
Shomi realising her daughter's condition giving way to her realisation of how much Swara adored the prince is sucha lovely perceptive mother moment ! only they can sense such things without much being said. Given that she knows the kind of duress women go through and having lived through that humiliation, it's only natural for her to feel apprehensive ! Loved that entire portion.
Also, the way the tide has turned, and Swara's earlier security blanket her Janki maa, is no comparison for the peace and respite Sanskaar bought her. That she misses his company is such a lovely throwback to all those times at the Haveli and since then. Buttt, my poor babies have to wait until later and for now stew over some hot coals !
*Have i mentioned before how i love that despite all the relationships that you deal with adeptly in DK, i really love how the strategy and mechanics of war are never lost. It is pivotal to the plot and you draft it in so craftily 👏👏* ...waise still don't trust Adarsh :P
This massive ceasefire and impasse that the men have reached at, it seems like you say a luxury they can afford to take while they busy themselves with the war and other points. I'm 😆😆😆 at all of Shekhar's reaction *i don't know why*...i mean it's natural that he feels for both his daughters and what Sanskaar has done to his family, but Sanskaar is so amazing that he gives two hoots and continues with his agenda..positioning the guards was the funniest...it's the most natural thing Sanskaar could do, but for Shekhar it must seem like such a slap 😆!
Swara's state of mind..ufff...💔...bechari...clutching to the last vestiges of good times with those clothes and the puppets and other finery he had purchased ! Swaraaa...tu kab samjhegi that he loves you equally !! *i know this answer now but still..at this point wanted to ask her that😆*
Veeer is back..woohooo...well he's back cos Swara wants to see his master, but still Veer is always happy to help :P Just like Varun is for Uttara...smart girls i must say :P ...and what a fruitful journey taht was...one gets to meet him..the other gets the news she needs ;)
Pawan..as cheeky as ever...never missing a step when trying to tease Swara...only to stumble when she returns that favour...haha..loved that entire conversation...from eager Uttu's baatein to Pawan's mortification !..later when Pawan vows to not fall in love seeing Sanskaar's state it made me chuckle...beta tu bhi gaya...just like your bestie !
Sujata...sometimes she just makes me want to slap my forehead !! sigh..how that must have shattered Swara's heart and guilt tripped her further !
The moment that these two see each other...haiii...time really does stand still doesn't it ? The thing that i reallly adore about your Swara and Sanskaar is that wordless understanding of each other's sitaution *Except ofcourse the most obvious lovee question*..buut i meant them assessing each other's appearance and state of mind while on the surface talking banalities !! *bubbbles*
She's still nervous about perceptions, and he totally gives a darn and infact goes on to tease her...fabulous...that conversation filled with little agitations, frustration, longing and yearning gives way to the bestest kiss ever !! What passion, and how you've brought that charged moment alive with your words...👏👏👏 and seetiyaan ! Annnd then the best kiss leads to that fight/argument..which makes me want to knock their heads together and say ufff bachhhon !
Like in chapter 24, Swara is still saying the right things and in her head she thinks this is only a compromise, and she can't stand it !! and her response is making him think she doesn't love him...the words they use is manifesting into total different imagery in each other's heads but actually stemming from the deep love and care they have for each other!!
His internal monologue is jsut a beautiful example of that..how deep that emotion runs..haiii..okay i now wnt to give them a hug..they really don't deserve thsi misery..*yes i've read 27 and 28...still :P*
*soooper chapter Shru...will come abck with comments for the other 3..i hope to finish this by the time you upload 29, so I'm not far behind*
*Updated for Chapter 26*
We need the storm, the whirlwind and the Earthquake !! Oh we so dooo !!
That entire spectacle at the arena with Sanskar triggering off the commencement of the ceremony had such a rich gladiator-esque feel to it !! Loooved the attention to detail, from the actual ceremony and it's significance to seating Arrangement to the crowd's reaction..and ofcourse Sanskaar's supreme skill !!
These two knuckleheads have as blazing a chemistry as the fire that burnt in the torch ! The sight of him makes her forget her resolve to stay away, and the pride that she displays makes him break out into that wonderful smile !! sizzz...! but as always the mummies...4 in tow are silently observing what the bachhas are upto...like i said..who more perceptive that mothers !
This perpetual confused side of Shekhar !! Hates Sanskaar...needs Sanskaar...is against Sanskaar...but needs Sanskaar !! 👏👏 for how Sanskaar deals with him...give respect but door se ! I do wonder why Shekhar who was so quick to disown Swara is not even venturing into trying to see what this prince and Swara are trying to say against Ragini...if so quick to judge Swara on Ragini's words and the words of society, surely you'd delve a little more into Ragini on Swara's behest...nope !! yeh toh ulta Swara the bojhhh ke saath deal karna chahta hai !! damn youuu Shekhar...damn you !!
Full marks to DP for making amends...for whatever his follies were in the past, he truly sought out to do much better...elevating Sanskaar and his men to full glory is definitely something that starts out that, and you could argue that elevating Sanskaar to that high position could be something not too farfetched for a family member...but the next announcements were the icing on the cake !! Giving Pawan that level of respect in such an open forum...*whistle*...but then he not only ices the cake but also adds a sparkling firecracker as a candle...by calling out Swara's contribution !! Well done DP...
Sanskaar's pride for Swara echoes her reaction for him from a while ago...adorable !! But yeh zaalim duniyaa !
See this next part is what makes me so skeptical of Janki...while i agree it could just be an offset of her practical and regal brain that she sees how things are and calls them out for what they are...but still...it just leaves me with a weird sense of unease that despite the Rana's speech, she comes back to Swara's broken plight ? Surely (as Sanskaar says in the next chapter), the Rana's word means more than the glances of a few women...and for a lady whose dealt with way more in her life, she should be able to put this behind her and see where her daughter's happiness lies...unlesss she's doign just that but that daughter in question is Ragini :P ...okay not troubling my brain anymore, because I know this is DK and koi bhi..kabhi bhi is something I'll just have to deal with...Maybe it's her...maybe its someone else who'd prove to be more of a shock to me.. :)
In this chapter I truly felt Sanskaar's frustration at being away from Swara...how the change of scene took away that innocent freedom from them and bound them in shackles of proprietary and rules !! Add to that more Kabab mein Haddi(s)...Ranjit and Pradhyuman (why does my brain flash to CID's ACP Pradhuyman when i read that name...not my finest tv viewing moment 😳)...ok mr. ranjit...hands...eyes...noses all off the princess...not up for grabs...nada...it's a miracle Sanskaar didn't duel with him then and there !!
*Lakshya not in the vicinity cracked me up...avoiding his mother 😆
Really did not like Janki's address to Swara...don't make it harder...*cringe*...poor thing, to be palmed off to an older man just to save the family from some ignominy seems sooo unfair..even if that time period had this as common behaviour ! Swara's outburst is amazing and I only wish Sanskaar had heard it then...but no hope or love lost...the fact that she puts it out tehre to her Janki maa...and stoutly refuses the marry the other saamvant is 👏👏..You go girl !
If one conversation between a mother and a daughter was crackling, equally amazing was the other one between mother and son ! *unrelated : how cute is it that yesterday Swara wore clothes he picked out and today he wears what she picked out*
Yes...back to AP and Sanskaar...Hurrayyy for frank talks and declarations *even if it is only to mothers*...I love how he wants her to take the proposal...to do it the right way..and have the queen proposition the hand of the saamvant's daughter...and also equally endearing is he thinks she doesn't love him, and owns up to AP without any qualms (given the time, she must really wonder if he cares about his ego :P)...and the hilarious part was him totally discounting Sujju's disapproval, because he knows his 'choti maa' would never speak against his 'maa'...smart bwoyyy !
💔..I can only imagine the anger he feels at hearing the news of the Saamvant's proposition !! His ever well thinking mother wants him to calm down and forget the princess but surely she knows her son better...surely she knows that he wouldn't let anything happen to his love...a spectacle is a small price to pay for that...hahaa...*rubs hands in gleee for next chapter*...Chanting Sanskaaar...Sanskaaar all the way
*Another great and fulfilling chapter to read Shru...so well packaged and it hits all the right notes on the emotion spectrum...**
Will comment soon on 27 and 28...but hurrray for this and mwwaaah...take your time to respond...so I can finish the comments on the other two...take care and don't work too hard :)...P&J !
