HE - Episode 12

Dear Lalitha,

Sorry to hear about your ailments. When you are ill, take rest. HE can wait. Even if you write after two, three weeks, it's all right.

Destiny is now doing some damage control operation and might help them restore their past lives if they are interested. But as you have rightly said, already, so much of damage has happened.

In our place they usually say that a wife is like a mother, a minister, a servant etc. But this chauvinistic society has not said the samething about the husband. A husband should be a friend to his wife, a parent to her when she is ill, a playmate to her when she is happy and a counsellor to her when she needs his counsel. I am very happy that your DH is taking care of you during your illness. His taking care of you would have even made your illness sweet. Thats the beauty of love, Lalitha. May you both be happy and blessed.

thanks a lot, Lalitha

regards

 

Only after writing to you did I further think over the next episode. I am not sure whether it is going to be A or B. I am going back to Madurai only by Wednesday. I have just about two days to figure out the future developments.

Yes, the Vulture has to lose at last. But the question, what loss the side of good has to sustain before Vulture loses ultimately.

thanks chocolate for the second response.

regards.

 

Many years ago a senior writer advised ,me that whenever you think of a story, a short story or a novel, just remember Mahabharatha. It has literally everything. Love, affection, greed, deception, cruelty, cunningness, wisdom - in short it covers the entire gamut of life's feelings, emotions and happenings.

Did Mahabharatha have a happy ending or a sad ending? Depends on how you define those terms. If it is just the victory of good over evil, then it's a happy ending. But if you reckon the losses on the side of good - well, Pandavas lost all their children and their own brother Karnan apart from a host of other close relatives - then its a tragic ending. Happy or tragic, it's great story.

I don't want evil to succeed. But at the same time unharmed goodness is equally unrealistic. So let's see what happens.
thanks,

Most Welcome, Hema, on board, this forum. I am happy that you at last chose to reply. I love my silent readers, no doubt. But the advantage of publishing my writings in a forum like this is the instantaneous feedback I get from the readers. I think I can expect a similar fb for my future episodes as well, (provided, of course, my writings have a minimum quality)

You are very smart. I had just written down that as one of the several possiblities. And here you have found out. Should I retain that or change? I am still thinking.

Dont worry, I wont tell you till it is time. But seeing that simile gives me a feeling as if you are hitting your head.

Thanks. That gives me a greater responsibility now. I should not write something and spoil your whole week. I'll do my best, Hema.

regards,

 

Sorry, Aruna. I thought you were talking about your "post" being kidnapped and all, as I deleted it.
Thanks.
So long as Madhavan and Priya are on the side of good, Destiny would be on their side.
thanks once again,
regards,

 

Hi Kripa,
Believe me Kripa, my emotions were no less, when I wrote this episode. At least you are cleared now. I am still nursing a hangover.

that's the best compliment you ever paid me. Thanks a ton.

Love shines only against this contrasting background.

Heart-rending, Kripa.

Dont lose hope. There are good times ahead.

I have already had my ice-cream buckets. I am in Chennai now. My lunch today was nothing but icecream.
love,
