Lovely updates...the exchanges between Vandhu and II and Amma and II imparting life's wisdom learnt by living...each trying to deal with problems  varying with time and folks involved to the commonality of it...i would definitely have suggested my daughter (i dont have one) to read...
What i love is the way each of your characters be it R& B Sam, Tan Ranjan , Amma, Shravu  Vandhu and even Lil Lasya each seems to further the relationship and deepen II's understanding...
As a teenager i used to read a tamil story in Ananda Vikatan spanning many generations aptly titled Paalangal or bridges...the generation divide...today each of the characters so steeped in their values and beliefs each varying in their style...it makes So SY a lesson in life to savour ...Thank you Nisha for the great variety you offer us your readers...

Life lessons coming to II fast and furious fom everywhere..an interesting phase of life as a woman transitions from being a girl to being a woman of the house. 

"I like them to break promises
about maayka visits, promise to
stay but leave in two hours,
promise to come but not show
up. promise to call and not call
kanna"

ihavent even woke up completely..reading with partially opened eyes...but should say...these lines were absolutely right...i have seen the same thing in my family...mothers do miss their daughters.my mom too says what she will do when me and my sis get married...but i am damn sure that my mom will do the same as II's mom and will say the same...hats off to you to make this sosy feel as real as life...

bhallas took the best choice..whatever flaws II has DII knows how to correct those...each of her visits to DII is making her bond with MM stronger...

What a lovely line
SO TRUE
Every visit makes her realize where she errs, she has never paid any attention to what Akka went through in her initial years, she was in LSR doing BCom then went off to IIM then doing CPA on the side... she never really sat down and observed and listened to Akka's joint family woes

She loved and adored Shravu but stayed disconnected from everything else

she is a topper in everything except relationships

DII will be a learning ground, u are right

They are all good people... with occasional shades of grey...

What a tremendous compliment Srividya I am absolutely honored, I have not read Paalangal, my Amma has I bet, she has a tendency to gush and talk about stories that touch her deeply, maybe that rubbed off on me and translated into my story telling skills.Amma's narrative about her own growing up years were a mesmerizing account of life in a small town in Tamil Nadu, many summer afternoons were spent listening to them. From her description of school uniform to her description of kaal aana and oru aana(quarter and one cent), Malaikottai uchi pillayar (Rockfort temple) and Tamil cinema in keethu kottai (palm frond shack) visits to Sreerangam for Vaikuntha Ekadashi.. it was a breathtakingly beautiful journey  traversing decades and a town measly 10? 20? square miles in area👏

We have listened to the same things a million times "amma ada tiruppi sollu ma" "amma why dont u repeat for us how you went to your Chandru Anna's (Mama to us) wedding"

She is the greatest story teller I have known

I am happy to bring a piece of her for you...
