Glad for the review, I have a pathetic track record when it comes to watching movies (in a theatre) the average is 0.75 per year (do not ask how it is so dismal). I try catching up at home, which is another chore, they play the ads, I switch channels and promptly forget which movie I was watching in the first place๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

love,
Nyna



Don't waste your 0.75 per year multiplex viewing on this one. ๐Ÿ˜†

I am waiting so very eagerly for Bahubali II. ๐Ÿ˜Š I watched Bahubali--The Beginning, twice in 3 weeks, in the theatre. ๐Ÿ˜† I was so impressed with Rana playing Bhallaladeva's role. ๐Ÿ˜Š A rather compelling interpretation of the Duryodhan archetype from the Mahabharata.

My Dearest Friends ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—


Tried completing my individual replies to your lovely comments today, but got caught up with posting my new OS---the Light hearted/ Slapstick one 'The Apsaras and the Gandharva'. ๐Ÿ˜† And then had a mountain of work to clear before Diwali.


So will catch up soonest I can, over the weekend or Monday, guys. Please bear with me.


Hope you all have a Wonderful Dhanteras and Diwali.


Loads of Love,โค๏ธ

My Dearest Nivi, Lucky, Sanya, Sonu, Aheli, Sara, Razia, Nynu and Talia ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—


I am hoping to complete my pending individual reverts to your lovely comments, later today or max tomorrow. Please bear with the delay, as I have some pending workload to clear. And as sometimes happens with me, I have been consumed with an idea for another OS. This one is not precisely a sequel, but is in the continuum of this 'Sanskaar Monologues---The Dark Storm' as well as my recent SwaSan OS ' The Color Black '.

Trying to have that one up later today or max tomorrow as well. Please bear with me in the interim guys, and please know that I absolutely cherish each word in every single one of your amazing comments. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿค—

Loads of Love

Dear Ms. Viji (@Cogito_Ergo_Sum)

Congratulations and hats off to you. Your monologues have done what my entire family including, or rather, especially, my beloved soul mate have failed to do so. How is it that you, as an impartial observer, have managed to get my emotions and my emotional state so perfectly is beyond comprehension.

If only my wife had a tiny amount of that perceptiveness which nature has bestowed in plenty to you, I, no, we would not be in this state. Maybe then I would not have to ask the perpetual question, "Why, Swara, why is so hard to trust me? Why, when time and again, I have proved to you, that I am worthy of your love, your trust and your faith?"

Even in those days when I was caught in my mad frenzy for revenge, I could never see her hurt, it was this inability of mine that made me save her from Mohini. And the rest is, as you know, history. But somehow, she is unable to see or unwilling to acknowledge.

But now, it does not matter, it is all over, almost. Only time will tell what our tattered and torn relationship will be in the future.

However, I am thankful for this wonderful piece of writing

Thanking you,
Sanskaar Ram Prasad Maheshwari

PS - I liked that poem very much and had to ask a idiotic fan of mine to do something for me. (she was the only one willing to waste her time, rather than ask any other talented fan - except for the last one - nice to know she has learnt her limitations, better late than never, unlike my darling wife, who appears to be determined never to learn.****sigh****). Hope you like them.

Nynu ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

I am typing this from phone so unable to do justice to what I'm feeling right now. ๐Ÿ˜ณโค๏ธ


You are so wonderful, my dear.

I. just. LOVED. these. So well done, the background texture, those prisms in different colors, are so very apt and well chosen across each stanza.

My personal favorites are the the first two (The Angel and the Devil ones), and then the last 3 (Million colors, Black and White, and the last line on how he is so many things, and all extremes). I can't explain why, these just 'spoke' to me that extra bit, though all of them were wonderful.

The choice of photos across all the banners, was fabulous. ๐Ÿ˜ณ You have done full justice and more, to your muse. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿคช

I feel so privileged to have these lovely pieces on this thread, Nynu. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค— It is a part of you, your time, dedication and effort, and that precious bit of your creative soul. I can't explain how much this means. I love you for being such a warm, generous friend. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Loads of Love and Simply awestruck and speechless right now. ๐Ÿ˜ณ โค๏ธ

My Dear Mr Sanskaar Ram Prasad Maheshwari,

Please excuse me my blushes and bashful giggles, I just never thought I would get a letter from you. You can imagine, I am sure, the kind of effect that has. You are after all, a blend of some of the most compelling heroes of literature---Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, Captain Frederick Wentworth, The Count of Monte Cristo, Sidney Carton, Philip Pirrip, Philip Wakem, Julian Carax.


I am deeply humbled that you think I have managed to portray your layered emotions, and the workings of that sublime, prodigious intellect of yours. You see, you might not know it, and would acknowledge it with a gracious, if somewhat bashful grin even if you did; but you have a legion of dedicated admirers and fans on this forum, self included. All of whom, observe your every action, your every word, every gesture and even every facial expression, repeatedly. Either on TV, whenever you come on the serial which is rapidly being watched only for you...or on the thread compiling scenes you have with your wife, created by another dedicated fan of yours. The story of your romance is the stuff of legend, you know. Bards would sing odes to it, one day; an epic ballad might well be composed around it.

I can understand your utter frustration with your wife, the way she has failed to reciprocate your faith and your adoration to the same degree. Believe me, the majority of your legion of fans are at our wits' end, for the same reason. And while I realize you must have had more than enough with well meaning interventions, that you must be fed up to your gills with the very idea of running interference in others' lives; please do indulge me while I request a bit more of your forbearance for your wife. Swara means well, very well, in fact. She is undeniably prone to have the worst of blinkered visions; and her perspective is occasionally so uni-dimensional, it is quite frightening, let alone frustrating.

But we all hope she will change, and that she will finally have that Eureka! moment. You would know that self fulfilling prophecies do indeed exist, and the number of fics written here about your wife realizing the error of her ways and devoting herself to wooing you back, winning your trust back by pledging her absolute love and faith in you; well, those would have an impact, I like to believe. Butterfly effect and all that. ๐Ÿ˜Š


Since you have come to read my ramblings about you, you would know that one of my favorite writers of all time, is the inimitable Oscar Wilde. Let his words of wit and wisdom be of guiding light to you:

It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing----Lady Windermere's Fan.

Very apt and applicable to your better half. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

By the way, Lady Windermere's Fan is one of my most favorite plays, have you read it? Please do...I would like to know what you think of Lord Darlington's role. I can SO see you playing that role, though he is the anti hero there, of course. But then, you are a man of many shades, are you not? ๐Ÿ˜ณ Besides, I found the hero, Lord Windermere, to be faintly stuffy and rather a bore. Your cousin Lucky could play that role, I guess? And the beauteous Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari could be Lady Windermere...quite tempted by your charms and persuasiveness, but then in the end, deciding {Thank Heaven for you!!} to remain with her husband.) ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜ˆ


Woman defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrender---- The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Do remember the above quote, Mr Maheshwari. Can I call you Sanskaar, if you don't mind? Or Sunny? I have rather got used to referring to you as Sunny with fellow crazy fans of yours on the forum, you know. ๐Ÿ˜‰

So Sunny, as I was saying. You must realize this about women. When your wife acts all aggressive with you like she is doing now, devoting all her time to tashan and tevar, rather than expressing concern about how you are; remorse that you seem to have taken to drink, worry that you are clearly plagued by bitterness and anguish-----do not feel too disenheartened. It is not because she does not care, but perhaps she cares too much? Attack is the best form of defence after all; Mrs Maheshwari perhaps feels so much crushing agony andar hi andar (inside, inside; as another fellow devoted fan of yours wrote so aptly in one of her fics), she is perfecting the art of self defense by preemptive, harsh attack. Try not to take it personally, and if you need TLC, please come to the forum and read the numerous fics centered around you. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


Errm...Sunny, one more thing. I just love you to bits, but please don't term that fan of yours (who you asked to make those lovely banners) as idiotic. She is a truly wonderful and multi talented person...and I have already told her a little while back, how much I loved these works. She has showcased you very well indeed, all the complexity and intricate depth of your nature. When I saw those banners, I wanted to tell her this:



https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/2d/59/77/2d597787e7e06c46adb5d00321af08c0.jpg



Glad you liked the poem. It seems to have been written by Hillary Duff, with you in mind. Besides, a few of us on the forum have reached the conclusion that you are definitely the inspiration for Dan Brown's choice of book titles. 'Angels and Demons' and 'Inferno' spring to mind; as do Sidney Sheldon's 'Rage of Angels', 'Master of the Game', and 'The Other Side of Midnight'. ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜‰

It has been absolutely peachy chatting with you, I must say. Not as peachy, literally, as some of the brighter kurtas they make you wear, though. (You look good in all colors, agreed; but only you could carry off those ghastly fuchsia/hibiscus pinks, the shimmering gold, and that eye blindingly blingy, electric-bright grape purple). ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Please do not wear them again. All the other shades you have worn are just perfect. ๐Ÿ˜‰


I do not want to stop chatting, but I need to leave to get to a concert. I have front row seats; I will be assassinated if I do not get there on time. ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜‰



Yours sincerely, ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Dear Viji,
Now you are embarrassing me๐Ÿ˜ณ And I am so touched and overwhelmed that you loved what I have made. The last one, which is the best, (the centre frame of sunny boy) is by Lucky. I just layered it onto the prism texture.๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I have always considered you and Lucky to be an inspiration for me - so if what I have done is good, then it is in part, on account of your brilliance.

Love you loads,
Nyna

Dearest Viji ๐Ÿค—

As you know, I am very late and I am afraid not very loquacious in relation to commenting here but I hope what I say will still express what I need it to ๐Ÿ˜Š. I am rather wary at the moment of reading too much on the current track- it is a real contradiction for me. I am totally enjoying watching it- it is a balm after the family drama and rubbish they were feeding us some time ago which came close to making even me quit the show. But, yet they have left some unanswerable characterisation and logical gaps (I have accepted that its an Indian TV show so my standards on that have to correspondingly adjust. Hence I can only watch the present track with my currency high level of enjoyment without overthinking it too much! Does that sound dumb? It probably is but I am watching it like one reads a rather trite but yet entertaining romance book- here the magic VaHe/ SwaSan imbue into it makes up for every piece of cheesiness and cliched scene they show- the drinking and the trips and falls and the fights on the street and the beating of goons, you name it ๐Ÿ˜†. Despite usually saying I hate cliches I am happy to watch that and enjoy it with SwaSan/ VaHe. As far as reading goes though, I am nervous of reading the current track much as I fear if I engage too much into the excellent analyses some will invariably carry out I may be put off the watching with brain switch partly off ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜†. I don't think I am talking sense but ...

Anyway, coming to this- you termed it a Drabble again but I've said it before- your work cannot be Drabble length or content in the nicest possible way ๐Ÿ˜†. This is very much an OS to me ๐Ÿ˜†. And a very powerful one at that! Sanskaar's pain and his bleak introspections and sheer yearning that shouted out despite him masking it all under anger and justified dictate and the drunken stupor induced by too much of Dewar's finest- all poignantly heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I have again said this about your work before- there is as such nothing "new" in the plot of this- it is simply a beautiful telling of a scene and delved into in so much better depth than can ever be shown on a show (well these ones anyway, we cannot get into GoT and Westworld- my new obsession! territory). Yet the strength of your prose and your wonderful imagery (the devil in chains early on freed and then later perfectly brought back into play by showing how he felt chained and hurt by those chains again, his thinking of himself as a blank canvas she had coloured contrasting with the dullness he is plunged into now) and your smooth recounting imbue it with a quality that makes someone read without pause. It all poured out of the words and the construction- the pain, and the rage and the quest for revenge, it had started with that for Sanskaar and now it comes back to it once more- bravo! ๐Ÿ‘

Sounds trite to say, nicely done but rather than use words for the sake of it, I will use that as it does capture the feelings invoked.

Also, special mention to Nynu for her efforts on the edits- fitting images for this piece indeed as is her suggestion on the song choice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ. And Lucky's banner- ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘, nothing less expected but fab work and she delivers each time ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Lots of love,
Shru x

Thanks Bharadwaj ๐Ÿค—


Yes, Sanskaar's pain and anguish is so tough to bear, isn't it? I wanted to explore that in more detail, so touched that you felt it was portrayed well and that you could identify with his pov.

Very true, Sanskaar cannot stop loving Swara. He may hate that he loves her now, wish that he could hate her. But bitter as vindictive though he may feel, he still loves her and cannot see her hurt.

Cheers

Viji
