Thank you all for reading

I TRY my best to keep things real, I mention real places, streets, cities, blocks... I read up Heisman architecture to understand Paris housing, Googled apartments for rent in 8th Arrondissement and picked and chose features from ones currently in the market for rent... to recreate his apartment
Every Metro line, every station I mention along the way is accurate

Read up about Jaipur to understand the city and its people
I mention real hotels, I Google ceiling height and truss heights, when I write about structures.
I Googled Ministries in North Block vs South Block for getting the Govt of India departments right. I even looked up some NCERT Economics text books online to understand the flow of chapters.
I was closely associated with a Maruti dealership in my previous life, Excelsior is EXACTLY from that memory. Gurgaon wasn't up and running yet, but we have an apartment there so we go there each time I visit India, there is a Bikanerwala and Haldirams in Gurgaon, I Google Emporio Mall to list the stores for wedding shopping. Sringeri Temple does exist and the wedding hall. The maximum distance between two people holding hands could be as low as 3.5 feet and as high as 5.5 feet... in some cases

Every street I mention, every business I describe is REAL.
I read Harvard business Review articles on IT deployments, I read Govt of India's Economic Surveys to get GDP %. NOT ONE THING IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. The clothing, the cultures, the people, the food...
Even the attitudes come from a relative or friend, its not made up or fake.
I even read up articles on how much an IIM grad makes 5-7 years after graduating and based II's pay on that.
Every country I make R&B take a biz trip to I Google "Top 10 startups in Switzerland", I read articles on "venture capital funding" to make sure I get his professional environment correct.

I DON'T have to. I do it because it makes my story real and I LOVE TO DO IT
Not all of us are fortunate like Ekta Kapoor to churn out trash and turn into billionaires.

I am totally in awe of your readership, most of you are, may be all of you are way smarter than I am. I never debated or disagreed or challenged it.

Despite all the above if I end up not fulfilling your expectations then all I can say is I AM SORRY

i think no one do so much search while writing story...this is simply amazing that u do google everything...
You are brilliant in a way you write...
I am in awe to hear this since movie makers who made 300 crore doesnt do this much searches or go on for looking most real things...i think i am wrong here to compare those story with yours...

Nisha, there is one thing I always liked about this tale. The FACTS you state. Unknowingly, I had read Indian economy the other day and you derived facts from what I exactly studied!!!!(I had to pick up my economy books the same NCERT books you had mentioned to prepare for competitive exams ๐Ÿ˜ญ)
I was in awe...I just could not believe my eyes when I read the lines on GDP and industry...It is so alluring for readers like us to have a legit author like you who states facts and does not fill in trash!
I am saying this not because I am immensely, uncontrollably in love with the tale or your writing style. I really appreciate what you write and I can so understand the amount of hard work one puts in when they WRITE!
It takes a lot to read up, gather information, stats, facts, whatever it takes to bring things in the tale close to reality..
I always will respect such ardent passion towards writing. This is a spectacular piece of work. I didnt find fault till now, with one single line of this tale.
In real life, I am very very critical and judgmental..You could ask Deepti and Deepali who are in touch with me via twitter about how I lash out and rant like no body's biz! I am really lucky to have come across such a wonderful piece of writing.
(Here I dont criticize anyone's views..Each to his/her own.. I have always maintained that)
I always have another tab open to google out stuff you mention here ๐Ÿ˜†. I am always wondering at the creativity you bring in. So fresh and innovative..I have recommended something to some people means they know I am right about it!!
I dont really find a reason for you to explain yourself at every step like this.(Your call here ๐Ÿ˜•) This work relates to us in real life. Its a stress buster to all of us here. If you enjoy writing, we all enjoy reading it !! Just remember that.

I'm surely going to ignore this line (@bold) ! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I guess this is second time, sashtang namaskaram's'
๐Ÿ‘ Incredible is the only word I could come up with the moment I read your post !
Well, I'm not at all surprised actually... The way you've have been describing Delhi, clearly tells me you've SOLID knowledge ! โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ No doubt ! I actually read up on things/places etc. that you mention in your updates in case I'm not aware of them ! History has been one of my favourite subjects ! Wanted to pursue archaeology ๐Ÿ˜ณ To be honest, I've gained so much knowledge ... thanks to you !

I've always loved the way you explicate each and every minute detail... I guess thats what makes us go bonkers and more than that, thats what makes this lovely journey realistic ! Trust me, the first time I felt this way was when I read books by Sudha Murthy. Simple, subtle, realistic and what not. ๐Ÿ‘
Read many books, but my favourite is Sudha Murthy... anytime... and SoSy , trust me, I'm head over heels in love with this and of course its author ! ๐Ÿ‘โญ๏ธ

I've lovvveeeddd each and every line where in you talk about Delhi๐Ÿ˜› ( clearly shows I LOVE DELHI )... Malcha Marg has been one of my favourites... I lovveee when you mention of these ... North block , South block, RK Puram , Malai mandir , RAMA STORES ( I was dumbstruck, I swear), Gurgaon, Iyer traditions, their outlook etc... Just makes me wonder how can a person be sooo dedicated... (is that the word๐Ÿ˜•... my lexicon is poor... sorry about that๐Ÿ˜ณ) and the best part is, you enjoy to the fullest...
You are damn lucky lady since you know what's going to happen next... and you very well know what happens to us... ๐Ÿ˜† severely mentally disordered I guess... Bu I must say, all your updates are worth the wait... though the wait is too long ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›

I just loveee your work ! You rock ! KUDOS to you !
Always wanted to say this, your entire family is damn lucky...โญ๏ธ

Thanks a ton!
I wouldn't want to forget thanking Columbia ! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘
Thank you sooo much !
