ArHi FF! Lonely under the sheets [Completed] - Page 24

An amazingly balanced point of view of their relationship... My sympathies kept switching sides... 

Neither was a 100% saint, nor a 100% sinner... they were both just a 100% human.

They loved yet kept making mistakes... they wanted to keep the other happy, yet kept hurting the person they wanted to please the most... they wanted happiness their way yet compromised to have a shared happiness... 

This story was more her struggle to find her footing in the real life... You have shown that struggle so well... the perfect mixture of hope and despair, acceptance and denial, willfulness and compromise, individuality and solidarity. The bottomline though ( thank you Payal... and how often do we get a chance to string those three words together?) was to determine what is important and patiently work towards it.

For him... for all his tantrums and obliviousness... you have given him the innate understanding when something is threatening his world...the knowledge when not everything is right with her... the realization every time that she is unhappy... and above all the epiphany that they were still an unsolved mystery to each other... That love does not automatically make every thing alright. AND the determination that he will do whatever it takes to make her happy... but with full disclosure that he will err along the way. 

You kept me on my toes. Will this end ok? the pendulum swung between happiness and sadness with such ease, I wasn't certain till the last line where you will choose to end it.

A fantastic story RB... but now I expect no less.

Seriously love and regards,

S

Loved it.

I also read your other story Gravity. That was amazing!!!!! Thanks for taking us into a tour of the minds of all the characters in the story - khushi, Arnav, and La. Anjali was not one of my favourites though. I would have liked to know more of Akash... His character was intriguing :)  I am posting here as that thread seems to have been closed. 

While I am at it, 'inertia' was great too. you had me at murrukku and raw mango in your authors note! Not that I would not have read it other wise :) Your characters are always close to reality - people with their goodness as well as flaws and the good part is,  they are invariably smart enough to identify and mend their ways. 

I will read anything you write... Have loved the three I have read so far. You are one of the writers that makes think as I am reading :) While I usually like to read without interruptions, I surprisngly don't mind looking up Wikipedia or the dictionary to know th embracing of a concept or a word. I am learning :) and thanks to you... 

Keep writing - you are wonderful :)
