REALIZATION - AN ISHRA SS COMPLETE LAST PART PG 20 - Page 3

Look at me coming back to un-res this right away! I'm turning over a new leaf, Bhanu...lets see if it lasts! 😉😆

Seriously though - selfishly, so very thankful for your bus commute...and, I'm glad the arm is better now.

You know, we get so busy in the hustle-bustle sometimes that we forget to just take a minute and take in the little things that truly make life beautiful. I've always maintained that its the small, fleeting, seemingly mundane moments that add up to the big things in life. Sadly however, we fail to notice we're in those moments when they're happening.

I have to be honest, I think I liked your description of the couple in the bus better than the actual story that it inspired. Mainly because I think fictional moments like that can be created a thousand times over, but when you see it happen in real life, it almost catches you off guard...forces you sit up and appreciate the little things.

Coming to the TS, I have just a few things to say:

As you said, more often than not, you don't need a "perfect" moment - wait for one, and you'll find yourself endlessly waiting. Moments like this have to be seized...and over planning for an 'ideal' or grand gestures simply are not needed. Perfect then, is in the moment that you choose - when its just the two of you, together.

With IshRa, I think what's so beautiful about them, is that over the past few months we've seen their love cultivated in such small moments - stolen glances, hushed conversations, mundane everyday events in which they've realized their love, voiced their concern for one another. I've maintained that when they do finally say their ILUs, I don't want grand gestures...a quiet conversation in the privacy of their bedroom in the middle of a routine day will do just fine. [And I am in no rush to hear them confess...cause when they look at each other the way they do - then really, who needs words?]

I'm glad that Ishita's going to take the first step - that she realizes they're missing out, losing time, and such small moments of their own by waiting for the "perfect" moment to start their life together as husband and wife.

I can't be too happy about the cliffhanger, but then, I am sure part 2 will be well worth the wait. Looking forward to it, Bhanu.

Thank you for this.

Love

Please update it soon..😊

Update jaldi please. I hope your bus is really slow today ( not kidding). 😃

Thanks for the Bangalore traffic but really feel bad abt ur arm, but u can consider it as every cloud has a silver lining, since its inspiring u and we are the ones benefitting from it. U write such lovely stories,. Loved the bus couple example, really sweet. My dad is the same, I remember when ever we used to go for trip by bus, I was like b/w 5-and 8 yrs old, I used to do the same, head on moms shoulder and legs on dad, he takes care of my mother so much, ofcourse he is a bit short tempered, but we can ignore tht, he would never let my mom carry a single bag, takes of care of her so nicely when she falls sick, best dad.and mom...I jst love them...now also he is retired, but he does so much work and is so very active, likes the house to be neat, does the outside cleaning, dusting, small household repairs from electronic, electric, plumbing, painting, very disciplined...oh I can jst go on, sorry abt jst going on abt my father, but it jst came to my head that my dad is the same.

Eagerly waiting for the continuation, do update soon, so totally loved it.
