HE - Episode 1

Hi Aruna,

I am sorry I had you to put to pain of reading my serial sitting before your computer. (Well, if you want my readings lying down on a bed or sofa,let me know. I have published a book of English short stories which you can read in hard copy form)

This serial is like what you read in magazines. There is no other way than to wait for seven days. In the interval you can be thinking about the serial and I will be busy writing the next episode. After all Saturday is less than 144 hours. Time will fly.

Thanks for the reading. And a greater thanks for the waiting.
regards,

 

Hi Malspie,

I am now happy that I chose the title HE. I owe it to my friend who chose the title for my earlier serial SHE. For this serial I dropped the S and continued. I am happy that the title "licked your brain" and brought you in.
Welcome aboard, Malspie.

Your observations are quite sharp. And in a few cases you have thought exactly like how I did when I wrote the piece.

I too am waiting for where my mind is going to take me. Believe me I have not yet written the second episode.

But HE is a story with two different timelines. You will know the import of this statement this Saturday.

To you and other ILites Saturday is in the distant future. But for me who has to write the whole thing before that, it looks quite near. We have less than 144 hours to go.

Please wait, madam.

Incidentally I read your profile. Quite interesting.
regards,

 

Dear Ms. Rajameenakshi,
(I had to prefix the Ms. as you had prefixed the Mr.)
Thanks. And do make it a point to write a feedback too.
This virundhu is not just for Diwali, but with God's grace, will be a Saturday Feast, week after week.
regards,

 

Dear Indhu,

Thanks for those kind words. I also had Madhavan in mind when I described my main character. Of course I made some changes. I gave my height to the hero. (6' 1") but of course not my looks.
As you know better than anybody else my technique of story writing is just writing the screenplay. First I describe the scene and then make the characters enter the scene at the right time. Then comes the dialogue.

Why talk about punishments, dear? Of all the persons you have the first and foremost right to question me, whether publicly in a forum like this, or in the privacy of our house.

Honestly Indhu, I wrote one full page of arguments defending my stand. When I read it, I found the arguments too strong. Didn't you remember my telling you that I am defenceless before you?
Now if I start defending myself elaborately, would I not be creating another contradiction?
Let me just say this. A writer and more particularly your husband is a bundle of contradictions. And poor you, you have to live with such contradictions. At times contradictions add spice to our lives.

Thanks for your post.
love,

Thanks for the interest evinced in my writings.

Thanks Rajameenakshi for dropping the prefix Mr. I am planning about 12 episodes, give or take two.

I will translate the story in Tamil myself. But let me do it in the end. My publishers are interested in a novel. I might use this in the same way I published my first serial The Haunted House as a Tamil Novel. So, let me do the translation myself, please.

Thanks.

PS. I love adhigaprasanghithanam.

regards,
