Now that's a very deep and profound thought you have left us with, Nyna. The curtains call takes us back to the intro where you have set us up on this journey to explore what is love.

HOW DARE YOU???😡🤢💔

Just finished reading the story at one go. It's incredibly beautiful and well written. Deep, thoughtful. Touched a chord within. Loved this one. Thank you for the PM, it led me to read this lovely story.

Nyna baby..

Nyna dear,

It should criminal offence to write something so beautiful, so emotional that hurts... I was going through acts with myriads of emotions...Their first deal in coffee shop, happily losing it, their budding friendship...realisation of love,... first kiss... first proposal... Then that dreadful surgery and amnesia.. How I went though these acts... I felt the same pain Swara went through, that's how I connected to her... though none was at fault... They were mere puppets of destiny... Raglak I love them... for their selfish motive (as they said) or not, they pulled the strings and make these aching hearts together again... I love how you drew parallel of both confessions here. Those scenes I watched many times... still the dialogues felt so apt. I don't mind if you shamelessly lift them.
😉

Once again, a squishing hug and big round of applause for these heavenly Swasan tale

Loads of love,
Dyuti

Amidst juggling multiple phone calls and trying to write some advice to a client and also working on an office business plan, I gave in to temptation and caught up with Chapter 6 😆. Those things still wait but I had to pen this admittedly brief comment as I don't want to otherwise omit telling you what I felt. I am blown away by Chapter 6- I literally mean it.

Till now, as you know from my views on all other chapters, I have been enjoying Amaranthine, and feeling the depth of what you need to bring out as I told you. However, to me, you surpassed yourself with 6- here I felt transported into a whole different dimension of the story, which I hope you won't mind me saying so, did not "hit" me in the previous chapters, no matter how effective they were in their own right.

Up till now, the story was realistic despite some of the more "filmy" elements of it which were nicely built into your script so it didn't ever descend into that category of fiction, I just cannot take seriously. The heartbreak that started with Sanskaar forgetting Swara and then Swara leaving but both in their own ways stuck in their aching voids and not being able to really live, only existing as such, was portrayed with your usual crisp and fluid style. And then comes along a chapter like 6- this totally changes the dynamics to me. I hope you don't misunderstand my appreciation for 6 as meaning I didn't like the previous- far from it but what I felt from reading 6, was so superior, it has totally changed the tenor of this whole tale for me 😳.

The whole thing came across with such force, it was breathtaking. I loved all of it- the way the office interactions were detailed, showing how both felt for each other respectively, Swara's heartbreakingly valiant efforts to guard herself against Sanskaar this time, Sanskaar's magnetic attraction for her, and their mutual inability to deny what is there- a love so powerful, conscious memory becomes irrelevant after a point. This is the sort of couple whom epics are written about with a love that would endure lifetimes and ages. And so they fall in love all over again. Wanting has nothing to do with it- it is inevitable and the way that was brought about layered the scenes themselves so beautifully. I don't have time to discuss the individual scenes and in some respect I don't really need to as I felt each one was pitched right to bring out the fundamentals very effectively.

I will be totally frank- sometimes when scenes from the show are re-told, it can get a bit too much. Most good writers of course do it excellently and imbue some nuances that still make it worth reading but mostly you still recall the original scene especially the famous ones that VaHe so made their own, that there is a risk the "new" written scene might be diluted by memories of the original. Here you managed that so well- the epic confession for instance that you so thunderously end your marvellous chapter with- that still felt fresh and new- a credit to your overall chapter and the writing I think. This goes for all of it. I couldn't stop reading till the end, almost holding my breath and was swept away with the romance and the underlying notes of sweet pathos which lent it that air of a special story throughout. I particularly adore the way you showed SwaSan falling in love all over again, despite the way both in perhaps different ways fought it and for different reasons. There is something so achingly lovely about this man who has lost all his memory of his powerful love still gravitating to the same woman and the woman not being able to stop herself responding this time, just as she couldn't the first time- the whole it is meant to be and it will be, no matter what feeling was so potent. It made me FEEL it all- the fear, the anticipation, the trepidation, the joy, the romance, the tinge of sadness for what was past- all things a reader needs to feel to be invested in a story:)

Absolutely sterling work 👏👏⭐️. As I said, I would have loved to discuss in far greater detail but at the moment, I will either say what I did or won't have time to say anything so I hope you won't mind. I read that this is the penultimate? You have a lot to live up to by your own standard set I am afraid 😆 but I am confident you will do more than a good job in the last chapter too 😃. I will await the next and be back soon hopefully!

Lots of love as ever,

Shru xoxo
