I should be hanged for 'coming back' so late.
Extremely sorry. It is mortifying to admit that I was following the FF throughout and thought I'd drop by the comment tomorrow...tomorrow...tomorrow. I swear I am going to change my username to 'lazybones' or 'lazy ass' soon. I know silent readers should be kicked out of FF lands or something but I hope you forgive me cause tomorrow is here finally.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Arnav. He is realistic and likable...very, very likable. Charming. Soothing. Loyal.Flirty. I have no dearth of words and still find it hard to describe what I am trying to say here. Let's me put it this way- you've ruined my well charted out list of what I want in a guy. You've spoiled me. You, my dear friend, have raised the bar of my perfect guy and I don't know whether I should thank you for it or tell you that you've ruined my life. :/
Then I LOVE LOVE LOVE the equation Arnav and Khushi share. The intimacy which comes only with time, the comfort of having someone around,the assurances, the shared laughs, the faith and the trust.
But I have a feeling that things are going to spiral out of hand...soon. Despite all the reassurances there are some kinks that need to be hammered down. Things need to fall apart to fall back again though.
I'll come back to Payal and Akash later. I am not the type of person who is only interested in the leads. Specially when the writer has drafted out well thought out characters. Just in a slight hurry right now and there is one part I have to say right now.
The career arc.
Vgedin, thank you for bringing this part up. This is a prevalent problem in not only India, but everywhere. Over ambitious parents force their kids to go for careers they'd rather not take up and that screws everything up. I understand the need for earning well and getting a good degree and further a good job.
That is all fine.
Careers are so important. You have to keep up with them for life. I am sorry for getting mawkish but the topic is kind of close to my heart and I can rant about it till eternity. When you want something, and if you are passionate about it, you should not listen to anyone who stops you. Maybe it is a very idealistic view on life I take but after all those years, when you are old and senile, I think people regret not going for what they wanted because they listened to their parents. And that is a miserable thought to have. Everybody can give advice, people find it so easy to tell everyone what the perfect way to live their lives is, and yet they struggle in their own lives too.
Maybe I'll regret my decision of doing what I thought was right. But for it, I'll never blame my parents. It is my road. I took it for myself. If I bear the consequences, that is the price I pay for the freedom. Isn't that liberating?
Will come back later with more. So long. :-)
