First of all, a big hug for this OS. 🤗 As we discussed earlier, I wanted you to write a piece on Mani as we share common hatred from him. 😆 I thought you would inflict pain on him though we agreed he could've been used as a beacon to reveal Ishita's past as CVs clearly missed the train. But I never expected this! You of all people took that opportunity and delivered an exceptional OS.
I must say without any bias that this is probably the first of its kind writing in this forum that so elaborately delineated Ishita's past without straying from the main show. Since you wanted to stay true to her character, you picked all the descriptions from the show--- her orthodox upbringing, getting in a relationship with Subbu at the eave of her teenage years, blind idolizing of her BIL, Mani's presence in her life as the first anchor. Even the events you described were more or less borrowed from the show. You explored very less creative liberty as a writer and I know why. The conclusions and realizations you drew through Mani sounded perfectly realistic. It felt like you accumulated the hints from the writer of the show and added them up bits by bits to draw a conclusion that
the writer , Ms. jaffer, vaguely and masterfully suggested throughout the show. The fact that you selected Mani for this made it all more interesting. A job very well done. 👏
I knew you would point out Mani's wrong judgements and actions, unsaid feelings but you made him realize to control it as well. I would take it as a closure from Mani's side and he certainly needed that to move on finally.
