Behold her, once again has come back to write
Our slashy Lashy with all her might
Writing and being happy herself;
Read now and also enjoy yourself!
Alone she does research and writes non stop
With her Lexicon and Laptop
O! Watch, for the forum overflows
With the members' posts of kudos!
Can any one miss the story that she writes?
Perhaps the prologue'd have attracted you
To the century-old history of the Kings and Knights,
And the customs of the Moghuls and Rajputs true blue.
Or is it the suspense that underlies in it
Kindles the expectation of you readers to await
Some beautiful romance and well written dialogue
Which'll take us along with her till the epilogue!
And.. did it not become true?
And my first review..
My dear Lashy,
I finally found time to go through all the 4 chapters in one go.
First of all congrats for writing a historical novel based on the political situation of the 17th century π.
I have not read any of your earlier fictions, as I am in the forum discussion only from last September, mainly attracted by Shyamala's writings.
And whatever I write in praise of the novel, it can never be up to the level of the posts by Shyamala or Sandya or any of the other members. That was why I voiced
my comments earlier , expressing them through the poem...
**This place has been my second home for the past three years now and I must admit that I shall miss everyone here terribly! π€ But all good things must come to an end, to give way to other good things to start, of course!
You built the home, and we occupied it..
***This story has given me unforgettable memories and friends that shall stay with me forever. Thank you all for being with me, for seeing me through this saga, for supporting/encouraging me in whichever way you all have!
It is vice-versa..
****I have learnt plenty through this exercise, but I hope I was able to deliver on my promise and keep you entertained through this novel!
... ... ...
But I shall continue to cherish the times and the people here.
Love you all loads, and please do take care!
In fact I learnt so many things during this period of three years..
*Though Baby Sarasa and Bablookutty were born elsewhere already, they had company here individually with all the baisas , including AMK Uncle and Heera akka.. In fact, Heera and AMK took them along in their 'dventure..
*My first attempt to summarise the chapter in poetry form started only here from Chapter 12..
*I learnt how to copy and paste pictures in the thread..
*I did not expect that my attempt to abridge your novel- though I couldn't claim that I was successful in that- would get me so much of appreciation from you as well as the baisas here.
Finally, I can only say this..Like a devotee who sings the praise of Yashodha, while ironically listing the mischiefs of Lord Krishna,
"Enna thavam seidhanai Yashodha
Engum nirai parabrahmam amma enru azhaikka.."
"What penance did you do Yashodha to have
The omnipresent lord( =Krishna) address you "Amma"..
I am singing ..
What good act did I do to have such a host of little ones here
To call me Periyamma, Aunty, Patti, Akka ...
