World is not becoming such Bingle, it is all in our hand... we should prioritize our needs... whom/which is important in our life that we need to decide.
In my view this world is very beautiful with lovely friends/relations

Arthi .... i meant ... ppl dont want relations !
Sadly that is happenning nowadays !
Thani kudithanam concept can be linked to this .... but not fully, many, though they come seperate, will have contacts with relations, they need ppl ! but many are there who come seperate to move away from the relation world ! Relations i mean, not only blooded relations, even friends, society ... how many of us know our neighbours
tell me honestly ... ppl who are living in homes(exclude bachelors who live a joint life) .....
We will be really astonished to know the fact, that hardly we know our next house / next flat person ! Even today townships exist ... for the reason that they all are one ... but think in metros.... how many know their neighbours !?
Wat are we goin to do alone yaar ? Is the above mentioned gadgets our part of life always ? NO ... we need ppl, we need relationships ... we need friends, we need to learn to live together !
This is wat i mentioned Arthi ! Today, metros decide the life of a Country !We decide life in the WEST seeing places like New York n Washington ... but they are not US ... they are just part of US ! Similarly ppl in Metros here n India, play an important role in deciding how our Country is focussed ! Many of them, particularly young couples, wanted to lead a lonely life ... donno why ... sorry to say, he for her life fulla irukka mudiyumaa
they need family !

hm i donno my neighbour, iam trying to pass my hi to her, but she is always invisible! somehow thats true...................life and the way we live sucks these days.
we think job and our family is enough and specially for those who live in foreign......................life is miserables!
cant blame foreign.................but donno.... people change so quickly here in foreign countries and people get sick of their life and people even get depressed.
we no longer know how to smile, we get suspicious to smile!

Hi Bingle, was away from the net for the last ten days so I read 17,18 (and the ensuing exchanges about 18) today.
17 was very stylish, highly visual (as the rest of the story has been till now). From the clove oil to the slip-ogler, you made him go places. The chapter ended with a nice hook. I have always liked that style and have said so here. So I take the liberty of saying the following:
18 was disappointing. One person talking, raining opinions, arguing in well chosen words are of such prehistoric style that ill-suite a visual storyteller such as you.
The arguments and responses to 18 show that you are eager to discuss moral rights and wrongs (thankfully only discuss not establish them). Fine, but that cannot be at the cost of the storytelling. Establishing what each character thinks and emptying out the persona in her own words serves to (slightly) undo your rich characterizations.
Moreover as a storyteller your only commitment is to the story. Secondary agendas (if you have any such - like moral arguments) must be dealt with brutal coldness.
If we didn't get the seating arrangement subtlety the first time, we'll get it when Aditi and Akash converse. And even if we do miss it, the loss is ours not yours. Why do I mention this: because the eagerness to communicate often dulls the writer's subtlety, which will be a huge loss.
It is perfectly fine to reward the careful readers.
Of course my reading may be completely wrong and I may be overreacting. The long conversation may be more than just a pulpit talk and may actually be central to the story to come. In that case I'd be glad to be wrong.
cheers !

Prabhu ram ji ,
that is bingle himself..
The realization of happiness happens only after experience of pain.
If we desire to blossom like a flower in the garden of life,
Then we must learn the art of adjusting our life with the thorns!

I agree ! Lets forget wat is given here ! But i personally feel there shld be discussion like facts n happennings ... sometimes to give completeness to the character !
There is no necessity for JKB to get the influence of a girl and drinks in Sindhu Bhairavi ... but that was necessary to show that he is derailing from his original path - MUSIC !
Here i ve used a similar showcase ! Shree did have an experience, that shld have been understood from the last sentence of Saga 18
here i ve used her experience and family thoughts (i understand that u are aware of such kind of feelings... are still prevalent in brahmin houses .. even today) ~ This was the one, which i wanted to show here ! Also there is something related to this coming forward ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Bulls eye ! It was a pulpit about the character Shree .... her experience and very much her feeling about LOVE ! well i wont say this would form a central to the story to come, but still this will play a role in the story to come ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

This was the one, which i wanted to
show here !
I think I did not make myself clear. Showing the existing feelings and arguments and painting a picture of the social set-up thought process may be important, but doing it via a monologue was a slight dip in style. Shree's emotional scars could have been hinted without elaborating her arguments, or so I felt.

I'm not sure the analogy applies. It would have applied if JKB tried to go extempore about his opinion on love in general and how it messed with his music.
I seem to have given the impression that I am not interested in any of Shree's experiences and feelings. On the contrary I am eager to know about her ideas and experiences that caused the ideas. That is because I am able to visualize her as a person thanks to your detailed characterization. So the eagerness is itself is the result of your minimal and highly visual narrative style. All I wanted to say was, for the first time in the story there was more "tell" than "show".
All said and done, there is no denying 18 did tell a lot about Shree. I eagerly await the next instalment.
