Nisha,
If one person compliments it may be considered doubtful, if a handful maybe a fluke but when so many repeatedly compliment and praise it's because it's true.π
Unlike some of your readers I do keep up with the show but for me this story and the characters are completely on a different sphere and I am able to appreciate them and you for all the nuanced understanding and descriptions on that level.
One of the reasons this appeals to me I think is the fact that i am in quite a similar stage in life to II... and a lot of the way you describe her relationships outside of the R&B one is so real to me. Sometimes i read the scenes with the family and I swear you've peeked in through the windows of my home. Besides the ones I already mentioned , appah's reaction to her no (the not speaking) and the guilt therein, the 'you just want to get rid of me', the 'X aunty is saying...' all of it. Maybe you made me realize how common place it is, maybe it's being able to see it now from outside of my own experience but I really adore reading about it.
I love all the little nuggets of realism and culture that remind of of my childhood and the country and life that I left behind years ago. I appreciate the Tamil culture in this because that was one of the draws for me for the show and this is certainly more along the lines of what I wanted to get from that.
I could go on, but it's probably getting repetitive. I will try to think of new ways of praise next time.π
Basically good job, great writing and pacing and I am so glad you are going to continue.
On that note, I felt the proposal scene and the conversation thereafter deserved a real Tamil GIF, and I tried to find Kaaka Kaaka Surya but I couldn't as yet.
So for now, please indulge me:
... even though this GIF really has nothing to do with anything.
Some things can be useful just for their visual appeal alone right?π
PS: 'oru paathi kathavu' playing at that moment?β€οΈ Can I mention again how much i love that song? The lyrics are just sooo and absolutely perfect for them too.
