Unres Viji dearest,
Shades of gray are ever so fascinating aren't they? Forgotten of the light he had finally grasped Sanskar is back in his bitter darkness but even in his oblivion, that darkness no longer feels home, there is something amiss, After all he is no longer a creature of the night, this dark world he seeks shelter in, now sees him as a stranger...He has to feel out of place there. Wonderful, wonderful portrayal!
So we're aiming at a five shot? What a delight! Five pieces of your absolute clever and charming writing is my dream come true! Bring it on!!
I really liked the tour inside Sanskar the evil's mind in this one. The almost mechanical precision with which he thinks, how he analyzes his memories...it sends a shiver down your spine at the cold edge of perfection in his intellect.
Those sublime moments of childhood and teen years were masterfully stroked, but their vividness now dulled in a haze of unfounded accusations. What I liked most was him feeling that he did not feel the all consuming rage anymore. And even after trying he could not grasp it. Kavita has certainly faded into a faint memory...almost a beautiful dream with tragic nightmarish ending. There is a dull ache, but no more an open wound. How very brilliant!
I loved the way family reactions were presented, from the group hug of Sujata, Annapurna and Uttara to the slight undercurrents of tension running in Sanskar's head while he met Lakshya and Durga Prasad. Then the absolute moment of the update where Swara finally met him.
I'm sure the days leading to this had been the worst of her gay young life. The darkest hours. It's no wonder that she felt a lethal level of glee at seeing him standing happy and healthy in front of her. The muscle memory was a very good interjection at this point. Although consciously he is wary of her can Sanskar Maheshwari ever put distance between him and a Swara who is in complete heart broken state? After all her tears had been his undoing all those months ago, forcing him to reflect back to what he was doing...was he right to toy with her life...we are back to that phase after all.
And finally, the sparkling jewel of the update! Ragini the fairy god mother! As I said in beautiful scars, Ragini is nothing without her instincts and with one glance she knows Sanskar is not the one who they lost...but a darker version. And thankfully she feels she owes them a lot and hence she will now be her sister's shield for a change.
It would be wonderful to read about. A white queen Ragini and a black knight Sanskar battling it out, before the angel of his life would bring him back on path. Can't wait for the next update but in a way I'm glad it won't be the weekend. As I would then be too busy to give it the attention it deserves. Nevertheless eagerly waiting.
Loads of love,
Saku
