She - Final Episode!

Dear Sridhar,

Shalini was a personification of several women's pain, experiments and journey in the quest of love, happiness and identity. You have so delicately wrapped so many stories into one. You have portrayed woman in so many forms, most of them through Shalini and a few more through other characters like her mother, Sumathi, Latha, Nandini and Vijaya and finally Aparna and the 'the grass is greener on the other side' discussion was really very good.

My eyes welled up with tears several times as I read the story. Your understanding of a woman is quite commendable. Specially emotional starvation, that a woman like Shalini faces is beyond the comprehension of even a woman at times. And Shalini, who has always craved for love and care from others has finally found solace in giving it. Now she has really become independent in true sense. She was always independent financially and free physically but finally she has found emotional freedom.

Thanks a lot for such a sensible story.

My warmest regards,
Anu

 

Oh Sridhar! That was such a gratifying reply. Though the title Lovers park doesn't excite me, having read your stories before, I cannot judge the story by it's title . I am too eager to read your new serial. Hopefully, I can take part in the live discussions this time.

 

Sridhar sir,

I happened to read this serial only very recently. the initial episodes provided some thoughts on how to decide on each situation , shalini 's search for identity. Almost all women will agree to what shalini is in search of "her identity"Loved the characterisation of Shiva. and wished i can take bold decisions like Shalini

As i progressed reading the episodes i had a thought " what is sri sir updo what is he trying to convey us, is he justifying living in sin and its kind.... "
Though Shiva's character died in initial episode. he is live throught the serial as a guide through shalini's memory. Dr shylander 's character is like a turning point.
Only thing is most of us including both Men & women will not have the courage to take the bold decisions similar to shalini.
And the final episode beyond words to express.Never expected such a wonderfull ending . Understood your msg delivered " Key to happiness and satisfaction is to love without expectation or like u usually say Love personified"
Loved these beautiful lines in the final episide
“The only way to get out of a class is to study well, pass the exams and go to the next class. I just ran out my class and so was forced to study in the same class in a lot of other schools.”
“A woman is not complete until she becomes a mother.”A mother's love is always without any expectation.

I can feel a transformation happening inside me in seeing things with a tinge of love , trying to look at the positive side of every situation these days.
Thanks a lot for such wonderful works.
Regards
Gayathri

 

ஸ்ரீ,

இன்று தான் இந்த கதையைப் படித்து முடித்தேன்! சில சந்தர்ப்பங்களில் யாராயிருந்தாலும் தெளிவான தைரியமான முடிவு எடுக்க வேண்டிய அவசியம் ஏற்படுகிறது. அந்த சூழ்நிலையை அவர்கள் எவ்வாறு சமாளிக்கிறார்கள் என்பதைப் பொறுத்து தான் அவர்களின் இன்றைய நிம்மதியும் பின்னாளின் மகிழ்ச்சியும் இருக்கும்! அந்த விதத்தில் ஷாலினியும் அவளின் முடிவுகளும் அருமை!! :thumbsup

இந்தக் கதையைப் படித்தேன் என்பதை விட கதையோடு ஒன்றி போய் அதில் வாழ்ந்தேன் என்று தான் சொல்ல வேண்டும்! பொதுவாக உங்கள் கதைகளைப் படித்து பின்னூட்டம் தருவதற்கு எனக்கு கொஞ்சம் பயம் தான்.நன்றாக இருக்கிறது என்பதை தவிர எனக்கு வேறு வார்த்தைகள் கிடையாது பாராட்ட! உங்கள் கதைக்கு அந்த பாராட்டு.....யானை பசிக்கு சோளப்பொறி தான்!

 

Dear Sridhar Sir,

I am a frequent silent reader in the non-fiction forum, and today as I had some spare time I indulged myself in SHE. And I must say, that some spare time extended into full time. I just could not stop reading it.

I must say, you have expressed the thoughts of a woman's mind may be even better than a woman herself could structure it. I'm sure every woman in any stage of her life would identify herself with at least one bit of Shalini. Of course yes, this story makes my feeling stronger, feeling that any man/woman/child/animal is only complete when engulfed with love.

This story has created many ripples of thoughts in my mind.. May be I need sometime to structure them before I even write anymore..
But, wanted to drop in to say, thanks for writing such a story with depths of an ocean.

Regards,
