NO
THIS Iyer never forgets a work mission
She is AS merciless and ruthless as him if not MORE"
Dear N,
Why am I not surprised?? Cos I knew that my answer would come only as part of the story. Thank you.
You wrote in one of your comments that a good story will make you want to be one of the characters. I like R&B ,but am I sold on him??Hell, ,no. And why??
Software symph is as real as it can get. Period.
Amma, Appa, periappa, vandu, Bala, shravu, vandu's in laws, Bally, Suman, , Mihir, manny, Sam, Tanmay, nandu,, Ranjan and heavens , even the hedge and haj wala guard Banda , are all people , we hv come across in our lives at some point or the other but R&B , Nisha,is only the one fictional character that u hv penned in your unreally real story. Sree, Ashwin , yes I can relate, but your hero is what labels your story as 'fiction'.
N, I am not trying to play the devils advocate here, but R&B is not without contradictions.He is this silent summa laude cool guy, soft spoken when he decides to speak , respects his staff, sensitive to the point of pulling in vandu away from the elevator door,but contradicts himself when it comes to II. He knows, she has not been around enough, has got enough insights abt her family bk ground to understand that he could hurt her if he leaves her in the lurch. He asks vandu if II is not marrying sree but doesn't hesitate to Coochie coo with her at godamn every available opportunity. For me , he needn't be any of what I mentioned above,but needs to be aware of hurting II really bad , given how much they hv come along in this whatever name you choose to call this relationship as. N,You are so true to your words and are putting II really thru the wringer. I feel absolutely gutted .
Ha ha , there is another reason , I am not flat on R&B is that he wears cargos most times.
You know, N, this Mrs.Moorthy is standing in right in front of my eyes as one Mrs.Parthasarathy. So the inside dope on this is like this, in 1998 , when my folks were on the lookout for suitors for me,there were these two guys I met ,before my dashing husband came along . The first one gave me the creeps, I reacted like how any other girl would to a guy in threadbare jeans sporting a single red ear stud,and yes , no kidding here,marudaani (mehendi)in one Hand and a bluish nail paint in the other . I felt completely nauseous by the time he left. I had a good reason , not to talk to my parents for a wk. And in the second match,,this above mentioned Mrs. P comes home with her son and all the army bk drop ,one fine day and throws in front of me , the pricey air that you weaved in your story .I must say , her handsome son was real nice, almost embarrassed of his mom. Phir kahanni thi yeh ki although it was a go from their side, I just did not have it in me to say yes to him cos I just could not connect with his mom as marraige comes along with the family. Needless to say, my no this time, left my Appa fuming and gave me a cold shoulder for the entire wk.
Today , I hv a beautiful family complete with my early teen daughter and also hv a mother in law, I absolutely adore and respect and on a few days (when I am at daggers with my husband and feel absolutely murderous ), I love her more than him.
Mrs Moorthy and all these characters. r how real your story is and that's the readers connect, my friend.
Keep connecting!!
