Software Symphonies 18 Democracy & Heels on 150 - Page 72

Someone promised butter mass... 😭

I loved the part because of how simply II and R&B patched up
Of course II had to hear a good share of things from amma and akka which were her eye openers and she sees how much better a place she is in that way but when R&B came to DII it was no saying sorry to each other no crying from II no discussions conclusions and talks just a heartfelt kiss pouring out how much they missed each other the rest can be kept pending for later but first thing on the lost would be to touch and feel each other the need to know that the other person is really in front out them and things are going to be pk somehow 👏

Ive come to realize these two will make a strong relationship in their own way unique way intact they might now having pouring hearts out through words there will definitely be understanding each other through actions and without any words

I'm so totally impressed with II and R&B 😉

Such a nice update again!!

The mother daughter conversation is simply so warm... I love when Amma tells things to II...

Amma loves and dotes both her daughters. Appa is Ninja still 🤣

Lagta hai jhagda khatam ho raha hai

Does the dude keep googling all the Tamil words she uses for him 🤣

Cause he tends to come up with counters each time she gives him 😳

Next eppo Nisha??

Lessons of life that we hardly dwell on unless thrown into situations --- beautifully captured in these updates. Loved it Nisha

So often I land up advising/impressing upon my mom these days what to do and what not; have I forgotten all those times she & my sis had gently steered me away from my stubborn/obstinate stances...

You've made me think...

like column now appears like rainbow...ella colourum und 😊

Love the path the story is taking and those little gems of yours tucked away in every update !!

Particularly as an Iyer, iam thriving on the language though i dont get it to practise it as much as I would like to here in Pune. Kochindaalum, konjinaalum idu daan...how practical and what an eye opener to a newly wed " modern married girl" .

I might be one of the oldest members of your forum, but am thriving on the lovely updates, the lively exchanges amongst the members and your die hard energy churning out updates every day.

God bless and keep at it Nisha !

THANKS VERY VERY MUCH! I am thrilled you are able to connect with Iyer Tamil in Pune, through SW Symphonies. I write it froma no man's land (well almost😛) in Mountain West USA. So we are in the same boat.

Age does not matter. I read every new release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid RELIGIOUSLY. Enakku ezhu kazhudai vayasu aaradu (I am as old as 7 donkeys, literally translated). If I spot a Junie B Jones I havent read in Barnes & Nobles I quickly read it on my way to the check out😛
I dont write po*n or semi-po*n, or about violence or abuse, please dont feel uncomfortable

I have been married over 18 years as well... so if there was a rule "People over 30 should not enjoy romance or romance fiction the entertainment Industry in MY side of the woods and India would both go out of business in a DAY"

THANKS FOR YOUR MORE VOCAL PRESENCE
I appreciate every word you say

Finally here lovely lovely * infinity these DIi updates are 👏

I❤️vandu and amma in these updates you have really brought out the true strength of middle class wives . I was misty eyed ,every single line I could connect so perfect..

And II is growing up now this is such a lovely depiction honestly I was clueless too only after some years I truly realized how much my mom did ..Or how my aunt lived so happily in that 3 room apartment in Mumbai

And nisha my mom is from trichy Svs + src college ,from my grand moms house I could see malaikotai, every summer we split our time between trichy and kumbakonam!!!

Anu u are right THREE rooms in Mumbai is a mansion. I have relatives in Chembur on my husband's sister's in-laws' side😆. ONE ROOM and a kitchen (moderately big) they had their Godrej, computer table etc in the kitchen, they had shut the balcony off with grill to get like 5 extra feet of room width👏 they had their Swami shelf and book shelf for their teenager in that "extension"

The hospitality was 10/10 and the warmth countless

❤️ Love it WHEN i hear from you!

I write about what touched me and as it is for most people emotions do.

Loved the latest one too.

Amma's wisdom 👍🏼

RnB and II - well glad he saw her as ' Rakshasi' She is that isn't she? She touched a raw nerve and he blasted it somehow feels like a layer has come off and they have moved a step ahead!

@ Blue Thank you my dear! For all that this story has been. I think for the first time in my life i'm reading fiction without the option of reading the last page mid way 😉 and relishing every step.

Asma I will candidly admit I am terrible at everything else except writing "the next chapter" Tara aka Shruti, Ashu and SR are the only ones I make happy on a daily basis, not to mention Hershey who seems missing for two days now😭

I read every comment multiple times and formulate answers on the go and when I get home I just begin writing, only in the mornings when I am collecting my thoughts before the next chapter I am able to do a mediocre job of writing responses to people.
I enjoy reading stories that are narrated "simply" the most. Thats why my favorites are Jhumpa Lahiri and Arundhati Roy among contemporaries

Where chopping an onion IS chopping an onion, I am unable to understand comprehend and dwell on what every piece of pink chopped square means in the big picture of the universe etc

Stories told conversationally are my favorite, may be I suffer from ADHD😕? i dont know but if there is 17 pages of descriptions of places or emotions without one conversation... I am weary and want to put the book away

As I grow older I find I have less time to read not more😭 Since I began writing this story... ZILCH
Thats OK because this is creativity of a different kind... and hopefully will teach me a thing or two about life, the universe and humans

nice update👏👏

I told my kids the other day that I was hooked on to a fan fiction ( not sure of its that anymore) and they had the most horrified look on their faces as though their mom had lost it. They exchanged looks amongst themselves as f telling. Me that I need to act my age. My younger one (12) gave me a lecture on how I should indulge in age appropriate activities and my older one 18) gave me an indulgent look as if saying "poor thing" she must be so lonely" going through mid life crisis
