Wow.. Where did you begin and where are we now! This brief sojourn in Kanyakumari, filled with such sensitive reflection, is so peaceful and quiet. I can almost hear that sound of silence in Arnav's head. What a gift to your reader as well. One should travel alone once in a while to reacquaint oneself with that silence.

But I do believe and agree with Meera30 that this is one of your finest writings ever. Your words carried me away from my mundane to that moonlit beach.

Here's another reason why I believe you've traveled greatly as a writer - that Arnav and Khushi can not only survive the distance, both physical and metaphorical, but also revel in it without guilt; that Arnav can exercise that freedom and make that trip and that Khushi can give him that freedom and appreciate that distance and travel is quite remarkable. This couple is wise beyond their years.. :) and by inference - you, my writer friend, presented a lesson with such gentle insistence.

Another chapter read, another trip made, another sojourn.. :) Till the next one, I will reside in these memories..

Twiggy! Speechless! And a standing ovation for this sheer brilliance!

We have the answers within ourselves! We are the best judge for us! How beautifully Arnav got the realization! Can I please give Arnav a big hug...he's so amazing!

Thanks for this,..a lot we can learn and preserve and cherish from your story!

"You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul"

- Swami Vivekananda

You ensured that, as a reader, I felt I was there with Arnav, not just physically but mentally as well. Sharing his discovery of self. There are so many lines I loved and savoured. The profundity with which you have written of his feelings is beautiful. As has already been said by all before me, the best update yet.

I loved the contrast you showed between the mental states of Arnav and Khushi at the end via the tone of their emails. One frustrated and letting off steam, with the other at peace and being reflective. But always wanting to share with the other.

"His wondered what it would be like, to let everything go and spend

the rest of his life here. He could bask in the warmth of the sunrise,

and let the shining moon in the dark skies lull him to sleep every night. Did he really need anything else? ... "

Oh what bliss it is to be in that state of mind ... a mind clear of all thoughts ... blank ... with no worries ... no anger ... no wants and desires ... no work pressures ...

However alluring the thought of giving up everything may be ... just

the though of being without loved ones around to nurture ... love ...

care for ... depend upon ... can be a real dampener ...

Arnav's moment of truth and realisation that he needs to get back home to the people whome he loves and cares for has been written

so beautifully ...

I felt Khushi too sounded more satisfied and happier with herself in

the last email written to Arnav ...

Thank you Twiggy ... your writing is truly enthralling ...

Amazing update...

I loved Arnav's tour and sunsets were my favorite part... It made me want to go there and experience myself this natural peace and beauty... I m glad that this trip helped him clear his mind and now he is going back with a fresh head...

Khushi's position is quiet opposite... But she is a fighter and I m sure she get through this... Loved the update..
