racy storyline....

Hello Sridhar,

I have no more words to describe this episode.....i am runnung out of words....i agree with all the ladies before me.....they have summed it all up neatly.
Well shows that you are turning to be a master story teller along with providing useful information about the tinsel world and also the medical profession and legal also.
Where last week's episode had a glamour leading to a kind of pathos, this week's episode with the arrival of Sharada , is about the struggle for saving a life and the realities involved . I liked the characterisation of Sharada, professional, dignified and not the least to say HUMAN with a zest for life.

Well , well, next saturday seems to be a long way off!

reagrds,

 

Heart is still throbbing!

Hi Varalotti,

I read this episode 3 times, least I leave any of your implications out! My hands were literally gripped! Even now , i really really wished you had written whether she recovers or not. One week is too hard for me to wait!!!

Varalotti! you are amazing truly beyond words!!

We just wish this story never ends!

:clap

rich and involving

Dear Sridhar,
The story was very good and want to read all the episodes together without waiting.I dont know to express like others. The language was very simple so that everybody can read and enjoy without referring to thesaurus.Am very proud and happy to learn that a great writer who's praised by people all over the world is living very close to my place.

 

Admiration-Envy!

Shridar,
How can I voice my reaction after reading the over-gripping serial-second? Admiration as a reader,sure, but as a writer , envy at the over-wonderful gift godess
Saraswati in one of her weak moments has deigned to gift solely to you - a man, while we women pray to her
possessively; She has betrayed her race! Sure, I will take her to task when I go to Brahmaloka.. but,...is it her
fault? Surely you have not enchanted her as you do
the brood by your rosepetals-woven words?

I just could not take my eyes off the
screen till the end-why did the end come so quickly?
Just one more page-couldn't you give it? Next Saturday
seems so far away......
I am certain swetha won't die, since she is the heroine, unless you bring her ghost and make it
another spooky-thriller! you are a master-writer both ways. Congratulations, both for this spell-binding serial, and the release of your book. And best wishes
to your parents to whom you have given a unique
present by making them feel very very proud of you!
Tell me, how many offsprings have that luck? May it continue, lifelong.
Lastly, I feel, the name Sharada unconsciously melts into
your stories since you are a devotee of Sharadadevi
(unknown to yourself-or poorvajanma?), and occupies a sort of exalted place........am I right? Keep it up, that name is lucky for you.

Graphic brilliance!

Good morning Varlotti/Sridhar....

Aaah...the much awaited second episode! Read it as the first thing this morning, still sitting in my nightdress, not even tempted to go make my morning cuppa!!

And it was more than I anticipated! Story wise, cleverly, you did not move much forward, only elaborated on the situations that we were already aware of. But with the advent of Sharada, one feels reassured that something positive may take place in the life of poor Shweta. Most of all, I liked the way you have depicted the tense scenario. The words simply flow into each other just like the scenes. They are all very true to life and you bring in the showbiz- afflicted world to the fore with all the secretiveness and complicated legal situations etc with clarity and simplicity and yet very gripping for the reader.

You also made me smile with the tongue in cheek remarks about today's medical world and its activities " Dr.Reddy was more of a businessman than a Doctor who ran the BK Hospitals with such ruthless efficiency that American hospitals were sending their interns there for some ‘real-life’ training." Add to it the most modernly equipped special ambulance!!

Once again, I wish all the best to you and look forward to the next Saturday episode.

But now, I go make tea

 

gripping...

Dear Sridhar

Great going with gripping narrative and descriptive imagery. You are not ruthless to kill Swetha, but the manner in which she is being rescued in truly great, and as Kamla pointed out, your observations about present day Medical world tactics are honest and pertinent.
Reading your work I remember one saying.." when we regard our work as our best friend, chances are that our work will become friendly and will be positively disposed towards us.." I guess, you take 'writing' as your best friend, and so 'writing' has become positively disposed to you...you are writing really fine stuff...Way to go Sridhar..!!
Most of the world's useful work is done by those who are hard pressed for time...kudos to your multi-tasking abilities....
waiting to read the coming episode....
Goodluck to you sir...many hearts are waiting with bated breaths...
