Hi Sur Darling..🤗
Finally here.I am loving the way you are merging the realistic professional commitments along with personal commitments.When passionate lovers years ago are contract bound publisher-author duo..its difficult to feel and mentally taxing.I can feel to envision this as well as putting them into words is more taxing for you.Hats off and whistles for you.👏
Coming to the updates--
Behen!Your updates are so coherent,so magical that each time I sit down to comment ,I end up reading and re reading.Absolutely it feels straight from a novel's page.
The way you started with Sameer trying to take in the sun light yet the sun light losing its battle against the heat in his body.Poor boy! Life is not throwing lemons at him but stone of Stonehenge.Emotionally failing,now health failing.
His second ICU admission.Blood count hitting so low.This was seriously unexpected.But as John Lennon says- ''one thing you can't hide -is when you are crippled from inside." Same applies to Sameer.More than plague of Dengue,it the plague of his own crippling insides which has gotten him to knock the glass doors of ICU.
The employees happy in wrapping soon was just like a strict ,homework demanding teacher absent from school.The happiness can be well related.😆 Rita was so scared that her shopping plans might go down drain ..Bechari! Sameer ka khauf hai hi waisa.
And with the end of the paragraph with Sameer being softy, the unlocking of door on Sunday and his memories of her,the happier and passionate times they had with each other..You made my eyes misty.The frame of words were such powerfully packed and delivered.
The lines are beautiful and absolutely thoughtful. Yes! Love demands sacrifices and so much more.It's the sixth sense that takes the existence of all other tangible 5 senses.
If the ice made from liquid nitrogen would have to compete with the coldness that followed with and after the phone convo ,the ice would melt and lose it.Its requires steel like strength to be so much indifferent when both have bared their souls to each other. And a special mention for Arvind.He seems a gem to me. I am seriously awaiting to know why a Biotechnologist has gotten so much financially down and that how Naina walked into this marriage.Diya is another andhera mystery at this phase both for Sameer and us.
I didn't expect Sameer to pounce on all those classics and canonical authors.My goodness, this guy read Illiad,Odyssey even.And Scarlet Letter took the cake here.I am mighty impressed how you have amalgamated the core theme of Scarlet Letter with the flow of your storyline.The shriek of adulterers and emblazoned 'A' ..that scream of both in guilty sin..It brought back all the chills of Scarlet Letter and with Samaina ...I could no more imagine Hester or Arthur ..It was both of this two souls suffering,paying some heavy prices ,aimlessly looking for redemption and closure.
The ending equally pierced me.I remembered a line,one of my favourites.Its from Anne Frank's Diary--"Feelings cannot be ignored,no matter how unjust and ungrateful they seem." That pretty much summed it up for me the whole update.
Perhaps more than anything the most difficult and hardest thing is 'Waiting'.Waiting for the one who means the universe for you.Whose one look can set you back in time's flow.
I absolutely loved the picturisation of Naina and her small contended family. Arvind comes as a guy who is human being,allows his wife freedom and is not MCP. Whatever the back story is,he loves Diya and cares for Naina.I am more intrigued to learn about him more now.
The conversation that followed,when finally they opened about each other though limitedly,cheered me up.But Sameer's curt reply really surprised me..In order and trial of moving on ,this boy seems to have stopped feeling anything.I felt like he was poking pins in his own raft .Whatever it is things are looking way brighter than before.
As they say its sunshine at the end of tunnel,and that a bright rainbow appears after a strong storm..Looking forward to read what more expectedly unexpected surprises,twists you have in store for us.😳
Thanks for the PM and sorry agin for not being regular.
Update soon please.
With love-
