ArHi SS: Stripped Thread 1 | * REMOVED *

Banner Credit: Chotidesi (Thank you...this is perfect!)

Hello everyone!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would actually be here posting a story but here's how this all started...one of my dear friends who happens to be a BRILLIANT writer, threw a challenge at a another friend, who also is FABULOUS writer and me, who has never written before.  It was challenge and people who know me, will tell I don't back down.  So we accepted it and wrote a OS, which is not suitable for IF and shall remain in the vault...YKWIM?!?!  Apparently after they read the OS, these two ladies think I should write more and have persuaded me to post something...so here I am with a Short Story! Not sure what your reactions will be but needless to say I have gotten the writing bug so please bear with me!  

This story is dedicated to Juhi (EXPELLIARMUS) and Choti (chotidesi) for believing in me and I would not be writing it if it weren't for you both!  Thank you and love you both!

Story:

This story is going to be a simple love story about Arnav and Khushi which takes place in a Corporate setting in New York with a little past.  Come follow their journey and see how their relationship evolves from professional to personal!  

Emotions laid bare and Stripped of all pretense...

Jigs, I'm so glad you have decided to take on this journey of writing about Arnav and Khushi, in a corporate setting and in New York!!!

You already have me so intrigued - what's up with Khushi's past? Is there something between Lavanya and her boss? How will Arnav react to Khushi after their first meeting?

I love how you detail NYC so beautifully - I've never been, but I like how you are making me visualize it all!!

Great start - now you have set the expectations really high for this love story and I can't wait to be on this journey with you😊

Wonderful Beginning J! I didn't know there was a writer hidden in you. Should've have known from your comments themselves. Anyway, I am veryyy happy for you. I am so thankful to whoever dared you to write because I am in for a treat I know. 😛

You know oddly I have this thing about first pov but for you I will give it a go. Interesting title.

I think sometimes we get swayed by our parents so much that often we come to regret certain things in life. I don't mean marriage...there is so much more, like choosing your career paths. If you come from a desi family, arts mean absolutely nothing. I understand their insecurity about our future, but sometimes I feel like we step down because going further would be like going against our parents.

Of course there are some parents who listen to their children's heart's desire like Khushi's family. I believe they are lucky. To carry the burden of not just oneself's expectations but your parent's expectations, your family's expectation...it's a big thing, often tedious because we start living our life to other people's term. Which is not necessarily a bad thing...but we have one life, when do we start living it for ourselves?

Sorry for getting off topic...😆

I like that your Khushi is strong and independent.  Anyway, clumsy Khushi makes an appearance? hypnotizing molten caramel eyes!Hmmm!!

I am looking forward to the long interview. Bring it on.

Jigs, I am so very glad you decided to write! A talent like yours must be explored and given its due appreciation 🤗

Coming to the prologue, I loved the detailed picture you provided. It felt like I was right beside Khushi looking at the wonderful place

 

I absolutely loved Khushi's characterisation, strong, independent yet emotional, all in right proportions. I loved her conversation with her parents, it felt so real!! I could actually visualise their expressions as they worried about her and reassured her.👍🏼

 

Only you can describe and make Lavanya like that!!👏 You know where we don't naturally cringe at the sight of her 😆

 

And of course a peek of Arnavji!  I immediately started humming rabba ve under my breath as soon as he caught her 😳.

hypnotizing molten caramel eyes   *sigh* He sounds so perfect!

I am sure it will be a rocking story!

 

I loved how you gave a clear picture of everything yet maintained that element of suspense intact throughout. 

 

This is what I know (since I eliminated 'think'😉)

 

 

And,

 

 

I am like this waiting for the story to unfold,

 

 

Thanks for the P.M.🤗
