Hi Keechu,It did take me forever to update, because to be honest I had lost interest in this fandom. I write for several other pairings as well and it is hard to keep up with all of them. I'm a full time student and I work part-time at a busy law firm - it all just adds up. I am also a perfectionist. I will never update, unless I am certain about every single line of my work.But no excuses. The next one is almost done and will be up soon, given that there is satisfactory engagement with the current chapter.Coming to your analysis now - you're right - Sharon and Swayum are extremely complicated, but at the same time they seem to be individuals who are willing to put the effort into a relationship. I believe that they are still together because deep down inside, they know that they can't be happy with anyone else.They balance each other. Swayum is open. Sharon is closed. He grounds her, she encourages him to fly. He is stable. She is ambitious. They are total opposites which is supposed to cause conflict but at the same time, they complement each other.The silence between them exists because they have too much to say, but cannot express it for the fear of losing each other. This is where they are like. They love each other, but suffer from miscommunication. This is one of the earliest concepts I noticed in D3 while the original director was on board.Why did I pick November? Excellent question! I've been waiting for someone to ask :)Well, there are several reasons. Firstly, I started writing this fic while the Golgaon episodes in D3 were being aired. That was in October of 2014, and I was severely disappointed with the way Sharon's character was treated. She was portrayed as a needy, desperate young woman who was trying to seduce her boyfriend into marrying her. It was pathetic, and not like the Sharon, I had come to love. Swayum was also depicted wrongly, as an insensitive, non-committal man.This story was supposed to be the aftermath of Swayum's rejection - or when he harshly pushes her away. I believe that a woman like Sharon would be deeply offended by this and prone to hold grudges. Naturally, November comes after October and I imagined that this would be the month, after they returned from the village, when Sharon would try to understand herself and organise her life as a response to that harsh reality check.November is an important month to me.In Australia, where I live, it is the last month of Spring. The last month before the holidays begin, and Summer arrives in full swing. Spring is considered a time of growth and fertility and growth and maturity is the underlying theme of this narrative. If Summer is understood as happiness or fulfilment, then Swayum and Sharon must survive the growth and promise of spring to find peace.In an Indian context, November is supposed to come after the monsoon season. To me this represents a transition from melancholy, in search of light and hope.I am also a bit biased towards November because it is my birthday month. :)))The title comes from Gabrielle Aplin's song, 'November.' I particularly find the line 'these words will stain forever,' very striking because to me that echoes the pain that Sharon must have felt when Swayum pushed her away,I hope that answered your question!Thank you so much for reading and for your feedback.I really appreciate it.Paridhi.
I loved your thought process, you are thinking wide and that is really commendable. Honestly i have left following this show when the village track started, and even i've noticed that they have smashed Sharon's character in a pathetic way. That was not the Sharon they have been showing in the starting of the show, i strongly believe that things change but in this way was really indigestible.
Your characterization is really great, and i can see the perfection from a perfectionist. :)
One more think i wanna say is you have a beautiful name.
Keechu.
