A LOVE STORY - Episode 7

Hi Roopa,
thanks.
When a person is in death bed people around him have nothing but love for him and focus only on his good qualities. But when he is hale and healthy, they focus only on his bad qualities. That's the world.
Only real saints like Kumar can look into the good that is hidden in the depths of one's heart.
I am happy that you like Kumar's character.
love,
sridhar

 

Dear Varloo,
thanks a lot for that short and sweet fb which has given me enough inspiration to write another hundred serials for IL.
love,
sridhar

 

Dear Aruna,
thanks for those kind words. Actually relationship is not a function of time. There are persons whome we know for centuries but do not feel close to them. On the other had we feel very close to persons whom we have met just a few seconds before.
Kumar had in an earlier episode talked about Arun's attitude towards God and love. And that probably would have induced him to make this kind of a prayer and a sacrifice.
You are now up to date Aruna. In another 12, 14 hours you can read the 8th episode.
thanks for joining us. thanks for the extra time devoted to read all the episodes in one go (or a few goes, perhaps)
love,

 

My Dear GFs,
I reached Madurai, and my home just a few minutes back. Pandyan Express was late today though Indhu and I did not notice that, as we were sleeping till the train rolled in to Platform 1 at Madurai Junction.

The first thing I am doing after I stepped into my room is to post the next episode as I know you will all be waiting for that.

With this episode we will be not only flying higher but also faster. Have your seat belts fastened. You will all be safe and happy not because of the pilot in command, but because of the love and affection you have for him.

Now on to the 8th, a slightly longer episode.

Love,
sridhar

 

Re: Chain of Emotions !!

Dear Krithika,

I was in half mind to go to the 8th episode without seeing your fb. Fortunately minutes before 8th episode was due you had posted the fb for 7th. Thanks.

Arun did not want to tell his Dad of his resignation through telephone. He had planned to go there in his new car and tell him in person about his success in writing. But unfortunately destiny which came in the form of the evil branch manager did not let him do so.

I have known many persons in very high positions doing that. Once I actually met a bank manager who did far worse than what the Manager in the story did. Reality any day is stranger and many times worse than fiction.

You are right. The way the Manager conveyed the information, the height of distortion, destroyed Krishamurthi's heart and was responsible for his death.

Is Dr.Kumar for real? There were times, Krithika, when each of us was as good as Dr.Kumar. Somewhere down the line we deviated from the line of goodness and went on to become evil. Now from our standpoint Kumar appears an illusion. My anxiety as a writer is that we should at least have Kumar as our ideal condition. The same way we have Rama, Krishna and Buddha.

At least for Kamla Arun is a patient. For Kumar he is one step removed. He is his wife's patient. But Kumar has high regards for Arun's love, his selfless love for Kamla. For good people like Kumar that alone matters.

When Arun had set a dog's barking tone for his father's phone number, I remember, you were the one who objected. Right from day one Arun's dad and Arun - both were good. But they could not communicate that goodness effectively till Dr.Kumar came between them. I am now happy that now Daddy's girl Krithika is comfortable.


I have posted the next episode as well. Kamla's problems are now known. Happy to know that you are safe even after the roller-coaster ride. But the ride is not yet over. I am planning to increase both the speed and the gradient of the ride.

Have your seat belt fastened and hold tight. You will sail through.

regards,
