He is Raman Bhalla, fondly referred to by his family as R&B ...is a 6'3"... 30 year old... Paris based, single... wealthy Punjabi venture capitalist, he's a co investor/partner in a French company called Argent Graines which translates to Silver Seeds 😃
He returns to India... reluctantly... to manage his Dad's biz, a chain of automobile dealerships across North India called Excelsior Automobiles... for M company cars He abandoned the family over a scandal that rocked it three years ago. To say he doesn't like his Dad would be an understatement.😭
She is Ishita Iyer a 27 year old... 5'9" IIM MBA & CPA , and a MS in IT from the USA single... Delhi based Iyer, daughter of a bureaucrat...she is a Public Accountant and SW Mgr with KMPG Inc. signs off her emails with a "II"😳

How they meet and fall in love is the story of R&B and II😃 and called Software Symphonies😳
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have NO experience in the IT/IS industry, Accounting? yes... so all the IS stuff is all just a figment of imagination... I am sorry if its factually incorrect
After all, its just a story😉
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I AM TOLD Its all of the following😳
Brilliant, funny, Intelligent, Urban, Classy, Racy, Witty, Crisp, sexy😃...Any other adjectives it makes you conjure up would be a sheer windfall to me☺️
Key Compliments that feed/fed my frenzy😆
Modernfamily:
That was mind blowing. BRILLIANT. Don't know how I missed it. Read it in a row and fell in love with this beautiful beautiful story. Your writing is so tight and crisp and all the emotions are so palpable. You're brilliant and funny. Although there is no similarity, but I felt like I'm reading Arundhati Roy's novel. Keep writing and do let me know if there are other stories that you've written on this forum and I've been blind enough to miss them.

Aaw davara/tumbler + filter coffee , R&B does take in the best of the iyer culture..Starbucks may come and go but drinking filter coffee using the steel containers beats everything .. I have to start my day like that..
Waiting for the next update now..lady i am positive you need to write a book, Chetan Bhagat started this way and his language or ideas are no different from yours :-)..this story could actually very well translate into a book , think about it

This FF is like a ready heady red velvet cupcake.. the supercalorific ones that you can't stay away from but you just can't resist licking every crumble off your fingertips. You are way too good at this Nisha...I bow to your mastery!👏👏
Also, how much do I love the convos in the Iyer house, especially II's thoughts about Srikanth and the reasons Vandhu is recommending him- it is so reflective of some conversations I've had with my family on the topic of marriage, I can't get over how realistic it is. So well done!

Oh btw, I just have to share this with you. 😃 *jumps excitedly*
My entire apartment (I live with 5 of my friends in a shared apartment) had a bonding sesh today as we each read this story individually on our own devices while sitting together (we forgot lunch and dinner so we just heated up a frozen pizza after finishing up with the last part 😛). We were all stuck inside since the first and second day of classes has been cancelled due to winter storm Juno! 🥳
And of course we discussed and gushed about EVERY SINGLE chapter afterwards, making sure that everyone was staying on pace and not reading ahead. My roommate and I (having recommended the story) of course looked on proudly as everyone else joined us in our excitement and obsession with this story.
I have to tell you that 4 of my flatmates are Indian (including me) but I am the only one who watches YHM or any Hindi daily soap for that matter. The other two are American (I translated some of the Hindi stuff but they appreciated the authentic Indian/Iyer touches and even did a few Google searches to clarify the stuff they didn't get). Yet, every single one of us is obsessed with SW Symphonies now like our life depends on it. If we showed even 0.1% of this interest in our classes, our profs would love us and we would all have 4.0s. 😆
This is the power that you have with you writing Nish! You made a traditionally raised Southern belle from Alabama and a total white urban city chick from Chicago fall in love with R&B and II. These two firangis are hounding me now (won't even peacefully let me eat my late night chocolate treat 😭) to tell them all about India and show them pics from my previous India trips so they can better understand and visualize the setting of your updates.
I blame you for not being able to get my chocolate fix today and you'll only be forgiven if you give us the next update quickly. 😉

"My task...is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel - it is, before all, to make you see. That - and no more - and it is everything."--JOSEPH CONRAD--
Nisha, Just like a few books, this quote has stayed with me over the years and today after reading the pt.Strangers on a subway, I see you in the Quote more than Conrad...
I have read somewhere that we do not remember days but we remember moments. The symphonies in
Letting Go...
Reading &YT History...
Morse Code...
Strangers on a subway...
will stay etched in me forever. Looking forward to lock away more in my 'Godrej Safe''''

Nisha,
You evil, evil, evil woman, who writes far, far too beautifully for my good.
You stopped right there.
Ittana kodumai yedakku??!
Ippo naa epidi ennoda college-work mudippen?!
That cliffhanger ending is going to keep replaying in my head, with all the different outcomes that my poor sleep-deprived brain can come up with!! 😕
Poor Aristotle. How does his Book of Rhetoric even stand a chance of competing with THE Software Symphonies?
Aiiiyyyooo!!
R&B in suit!!! 😳 ::swoons::
And. You made R&B and II match (burgundy tie & II's dawani)!!!! 😆👏
So. I am pulling an all-nighter in an attempt to catch up on my work & assignments. And. I can honestly say that I've spent more time refreshing SW3 than reading for my assignments 😕
That's the power of your writing.
You have this ability to convey the emotions of the characters by using their smallest gestures, without the blatant expression which is the norm in most writings. So much so, that a good workaholic college student (namely me) can't focus on work anymore.
I'm constantly empathizing with II... and seeing me in her actions and even the lack of them...
R&B gave me hope... and disappointment... and then again brought hope back to me... Just as he does to II.
R&B ki himmat toh dekho!
Khulle aam ladki ke baap ke saamne darwaaza bandh kar liya!
::swoons again::
Gosh. Your R&B has made a total fan-girl out of me.
The time that I don't spend reading his antics, I spend fantasizing about finding my own R&B.
It's the littlest actions/inactions that make Software Symphonies and all these beloved characters come so, so, so close to life.
Again, at the cost of being repetitive and boring, I must say this...
You write far, far too beautifully for my sanity.
Holding onto the edges of the cliff with the tips of my fingers,
Arya.
