But before you start throwing things at me, it was necessary (I would have murdered any author who used this line😈) She had to complete her doctorate - that was a dream both shared😊

@ bold above, I so totally agree with you😊

Not updating today, will try for tomorrow. The only thing is that since I am at home, I am completely at the mercy of my cuddle master. 😉

But rest assured, you have the first res.

love,

Nyna

Nynu 🤗🤗🤗

First off, I hope the cute and chubby cuddle master is doing very well indeed. Give him a squeeze and a tickle from me. 😊 😉

In keeping with my promise, I am going to make 2 Un res's on this marvelous chapter. 😊

Where do I start-----the banner. 😊 It was so beautiful, the black and white tint adding that shade pf pathos and melancholy which pervaded the setting. And the title as well as the quote further added to the effect---both were superb, and so very apt. My Life without Me. 😭 😭 Sigh...Such feels...😭 And that quote about Darkness being the Absence of the Loved One...so very profound. To Swara, Sanskaar was her sunny, effervescent, ever smiling and cheerful source of light, after all.

Like I have said before, I love the deft little touches you imbue so much of your writing with. There is a nice tonal consistency, and here and there, you sprinkle lovely little nuggets that enliven and deepen the experience.

Two instances leaped to mind here, which brought a smile to my lips amidst the pangs of heartache that Swara was going through, and the curious sense of absence, which heightened Sanskaar's irritability and change in his heretofore sunny, easygoing disposition.

One was the way you made Dr Chowdhary state the obvious (obvious to us, but perhaps intended as a sly broadside to the way the serial managed the ML track? 😛😉): about how memory and personality were controlled by two completely different areas of the brain. Amnesia would not change Sanskaar's basic nature---so the fact that he could not remember 2 years of his life, did not mean that he would immediately become colder, more curt and withdrawn. Sigh...if only the serial had realized this, instead of making an amnesiac Swara forget pretty much 2/3rds of what had made her Swara in the first place. 😕

I loved the fact that you had made Ragini so intuitive and concerned for Swara here. She grasped that Sanskaar's frustration was possibly owing to the fact that he could not, as hard as he tried, scratch the surface and recollect something which he unconsciously perhaps, felt was of crucial importance to him? The way his family was walking on eggshells around him, treating him like a fragile porcelain doll, must have also irritated a man of such immense energy and self possession as Sanskaar.

Ragini and Lakshya's plan to somehow nudge the chain of events along, was commendable. 😊 I like the fact that they are positive here, people who want and wish the best for their siblings. Ragini's innocent lamb act, getting dragon dadi on the warpath, was another deft little touch---I keep coming back to that, your gift of imparting a light touch amidst very emotional circumstances. (And conversely, also imparting a deeper layer of emotional meaning to an otherwise light hearted circumstance). 😊

Loved the way Ragini made that small slip and addressed Sanskaar as "Jeeju", before correcting herself and claiming she had called him "Jeth Ji". Both her and Lakshya's reactions, and of course Sanskaar's too; when he pored over the engagement album but failed to really recognize Swara, were top notch. Amazing.

The best part of the update for me, was when Lakshya took Sanskaar along for the mathematics lecture, and as soon as Swara started speaking, Sanskaar felt such an immeasurable sense of calm wash through him. I had a few tears in my eyes then, Nynu---silly, emotional me! Somehow, the way that Lakshya said that Sanksaar had never slept so peacefully, so serenely after his surgery---the fact that Sanskaar felt Swara's voice reminded him of clear blue skies and warm sunlight; as well as moonshine and star studded climes---it was so immensely profound. A soothing lullaby to his heart and mind indeed----one which made him slip into such a deep slumber, even an hour after the lecture had ended.

There was a lovely little light moment there, when Lakshya told Ragini he was not sure if he should just shake Sanskaar awake, and kick him all the way home. 😆 I would normally have been quite furious at Lakshya for daring to think that 😉 😆---but the Lucky here is a completely warm sibling. 😉

Rest of the chapter, I shall Un res in my second comment. 😆

Love you Loads, Nynu...🤗🤗

BTW, Sunny looked very dashing indeed, in your banner. Nice choice of picture. 😆
