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.😊

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.😆

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?😉

PS: 'oru paathi kathavu' playing at that moment?❤️ Can I mention again how much i love that song? The lyrics are just sooo and absolutely perfect for them too.

So i might be in the minority here who is a bit confused.
Don't get me wrong - I love this story, i love everything about it and I love love the characters..
And the prenup thing..Bang on! I loved that!!The fact that she actually did speak her mind before to her rents- Amazing!!

My question is what happened to R&B to make him change his mind? I mean the last time we had some input to his thinking he was questioning everything including her? Was she interested in his money?..why did she lie to him?..was there an engagement? etc..
Then there was the ignoring and all followed up with the converstion on Delhi Metro where clearly he followed her. It ended up with her sending all the books back and trying to get a clean break..
He on the other hand was booking a ticket to go back to france forever, what happened in between that he goes to her house and proposes? I guess I am trying to understandin what happened that made him take a whole 180 turn about marriage in itself.

Did I miss something? Is there a part I did not read? So anyhow hope somoene can clarify this..But regardless love the banter, the conversation, the proposal, the conditions..everything..I guess i just get too invested in the characters I love and need to know their mindset..

Please don't take it offensively..

And u shall be punished for rolling ur eyes too..i mean who does that but yes i did happen to like the character of grey only if they had more story to that book..and yea i agree it was way too repetitive

Coming back to R&B and this story...i love R&B and so as the story...it has got so much of substance to it..Nisha u explain things beautifully and being from delhi i just love d way u describe even small things like metro and my favourite delhi haat..one of the things which got me reading this story was delhi, KPMG and also monnet power(which i think u mentioned in some starting chapters) and yes a very realistic approach to the story :)

Nisha question for you :
So Mr R&B was to take the flight at noon on saturday, II dropped of the bag at 3:00ish so clearly he didnt go and had decided before he saw the package, then once he got it from what I deduce he shaved etc and got convinced and went after her.
What happened after 2 am reading Financial Terrorism 😳
Is this something you purposely want the readers to guess or will come up later...
I know you mentioned in the subway one there was more to it..

yenna proposal di zindagi gulzar... just tooo good for a change i am not asking for the next because i could just read this one for the whole day today and listen to the songs you have in there...😳 but others would kill me 😆

Nisha's response

Yes Anu
After completing this part I will write about R&B's day from 1 AM- 6 PM ish when he showed up at the door...

Hope this helps 😃

It's Saturday morning for me here and couldn't have asked for a better start to the weekend. Its 9 in the morn, me still in bed with my lappy, and having more time than ever to read through the comments (the rest of my band left to fend for themselves 😆)

Read a fantastic dreamy pre-nup agreement, took me back to my (pre-nup) days, yes I have my maiden name intact but his money is mine and mine is also mine 😈 and no there was no 5C cartier😆

This thread has exploded into nothing short of a mini epilogue for ( Part 1?) of this SS... well rightfully so! It doesn't deserve anything lesser

I don't go to the greater forum at all, honestly don't know even know what happens there. The only reason I'm here is because of SS. My twitter account must be floating dead somewhere in cyberspace, FB lies inactive for months till someone wants to know if I've passed over to the next life...😆I am that inactive/lazy . And then my hubby had the laugh of his life when I told him i'm onto this public forum... I am laughing now as he fends for himself & the kids their morning brekkie 😆

This story in its big way has made my little world over here exhilarating. i love the teeanage gush feel, R&B II and every other character in SS, I think most of us connect a slice of our life with atleast one of them and almost all want R&B all to themselves!

And the thing that gets me going is the quirky intelligent humour which Nisha doesn't let go ever...LOVE IT.

Cannot thank Nisha enough for giving us this awesome ride

Oh my! What a wonderful continuation of the proposal...the teasing conversation between the two lovers! They both give as good as each other...brilliant.
Love the Cartier ring...aww how sweet ;)

R&B is such a no nonsense guy...just tells Appa like that!

Family's reactions are going to interesting...how will Appa agree...?

Thank you x infinity :)

Hi Nish.
I'm not Indian, never been to India, and do not speak Hindi nor Tamil. But nevertheless, a fan of every thing Indian-ish.
I stumbled upon your first thread while checking YHM forum, and MAN did you get me hooked!!
Imagine me reading all the 110+ deliciousness of II and R&B ☺️, with all the Tamil lines in between, wishingTamil was my second language, and sill yearning for more. ☺️ ☺️
Thanks a million for this wonderful (ongoing) journey.
Stay blessed.

P.S. This is my first post ever in India Forums. Always a ghost reader, so for me this counts. I guess this shows what extraordinary talent you have.

I thought I would have a relaxing Friday night to give my comments on the updates that I have missed, but life 😭 😡 Anyways, I'm sorry that I can't give you my reactions and thoughts about every chapter, but I think the following should surmise my thoughts overall.
You deserve every bit of praise and acknowledgement that you are getting Nisha. I consider myself lucky that you have noticed me and my comments in the masses of appreciation that you get. For me, getting a reply from you is nothing less than getting a personalized autograph from a celebrity because you truly are a star in my eyes. This story will always hold a special place in my heart not just for the content, but for the fact that I personally got to interact with a star and that she recognized me amongst the crowd as one of her ardent fans; that's a huge thing for me and I just wanted you to know how much it meant to me. If there is ever a chance and if it's meant to be, I will surely get to fan-girl and gush to you in person (I can hope can't I?).

They say what's meant to be will always find its way. I truly believe those words and I sincerely hope that you get even more fame, fortune, and recognition when you finally publish. You were meant to write Nisha and the writer in you found its way out through this story. I have seen you mention a few times that this journey started off as a joke and that you were originally going to PM the story only to Columbia, but again, it was meant to break records and become famous so the story found its way of doing so.

I don't think I have enough words in my head to express the emotions I feel about this story because somewhere along the way, I believe I have used and repeated just about every good adjective I know. It's been said before but I'm going to repeat it again just to hammer the point home one more time. I'm in love with this story, the characters, the plot, II's mental rants, R&B's thoughtful silences and half smiles, Amma and Appa's attempts to get II married, Ranjan's sudden light bulb moment about II-R&B, Vandu Akka's individual equations with II and R&B, Baldev's teasing and sensible insight, Sam's sweetness and recognition of II-R&B as a couple, Shravu's naughtiness, Lasya's cuteness, Mihir's flirtation, Manny's bluntness, the security guard's miscommunication, the Delhi Metro crowd, the guy who sold the filter coffee maker to R&B, etc...basically everything associated with the tale, however little or big. But most of all Nisha, I'm in love with you and the way that you have weaved everyday words together to create the magic that is Software Symphonies. Thank you so much Nisha and I hope my dream of personally meeting you comes true one day soon because that would be a memorable moment for sure.
