About to crash after another exhausting day in a gruelling week so this is very likely to be errr very "fractured" and perhaps rather incoherent but whilst Reserving on your and Viji's threads, I just stumbled upon this so had to read as you may recall how very much I had loved the Guardian Angel concept and your telling of it previously?
I do remember that and I also remember you plans for a GA trilogy as well as what I want. I still do, so when do I get it😳
This was again masterfully done in my very humble opinion. This may sound a rather odd thing to say but to me, such work truly demonstrates the genuine imaginativeness and even innovative streak MOST writers never truly quite grasp 😳. I think many can write, some can write very well- there is a way of moulding words beautifully and there is a gift in telling a tale with supreme skill, few rare souls can combine more than one aspect- etc etc. However, there is a real rare skill to me in imagining something totally different and then setting it out so simply and with such deep co-relative symbolism that the subtleties are so special and the whole imagery so powerful that it all just "clicks" into place. The whole guardian angel concept is very nice but what here is very impressive is the way you have fleshed the whole thing out.
I am simply overwhelmed and had been quite at a loss for words, when I first read it, not that I find enough words even now. And coming from someone like you, whom I admire so much, it really means a lot to me.
From the names of the angels (for each of SwaSan) to their incredible personalities, so suited to their charges, their small but oh so meaningful nuances and then the way you bring out the message you want each time in these OSs of these wonderful beings- *bows down* 👏. I cannot really do it justice with my words but the way you paint that picture when Kosmos changes colour and morphs and dances or grieves and fumes (like here) and the way it so unerringly brings out those feelings of Swara that it needs to- I find myself totally speechless whilst reading (in the nicest possible way!).
****Sigh**** each time I read the above, I have gone back to read my own tale; I was so unsure about it so I had to confirm that the lines you have written are indeed about my OS😳😳😳
I have some hopes for the current track and I am one of those who want Swara to have a reason to behave the way she has but I am not sure that will happen given the way all that sort of logic is always sacrificed but I loved reading how Kosmos tackled it all and wanted to cuddle his sad brown self (broke my heart that did 😭) and then in the end clap and kiss him for making that message sink through.
I, on the other hand, do not have much hopes for either the track or for Swara, I am so upset and disappointed with her, starting from the ML track, my take being that even if Sanskaar is completely responsible for Laksh's disappearance and Ragini's agony, it does not justify Swara walking out on him. That was an absolute lack of faith in him, which this time round, I find it difficult to forgive unless she displays some amount of remorse and shows quite a bit of willingness to set her error right. But I doubt that will happen.
Kosmos wailing for Sanskaar's misery was me 😭😭😭- I so want to shake Swara and scream at her, "Do you even have a freaking clue as to what you are doing to him?"
In the end, the message did sink in, but how long would the realisation last, is another question.
I almost missed this one as I am really not able to spend any time on the Forum at present and am really behind with anything leisure related but am happy I read this! Sorry if this is rather inadequate.
I am so glad you managed to read this (I did not send out PMs to anyone, was not too sure if it was worthy of disturbing you guys😳) And I am very very happy to read your take. And please it is not at all inadequate, it made my day the first time I read it and makes me very happy each time I do. So please relax and here is hoping that your workload eases out so that we can "meet" more often here
Loads of love as ever,
Shru xoxo
