bc...... u hav hold ma breath till d last sentence....!! last sequence with twist n turns is pretty interesting!! the best thing i did dec 10 2010 is to read the best person i met in 2007!
Now what was that?? It was difficult to recollect myself.. My heart goes out for Neil.. He was obsessed for sure.. But deserved a better treatment.. His transition from a respected guy in his college days to a loser finally is simply very very unfortunate.. As for Rhea, I knew she would go back to that loser Vikram.. I dont think anyone would feel pity that she died that way.. Atleast I didnt.. The only mis fortunate circumstances in the event after her death was Neil's state of mind and his going to prison..
ABC is a friend to die for.. Despite Neil's ill treatment, he stood by him.. That takes a lot. Going by Naina's reactions after that Goa event, It looks like ABC didnt tell her the real story either.. Kudos to the friendship..
As for the best person he met in 07, that was a little over the head. In my opinion you meet yourself when you completely understand your surroundings and you behave in a mature way. This wasnt the case with Neil. Perhaps love makes you do crazy things.. i dont know..
One thing I must say is that the build up of this story in various episodes was excellent to say the least.. I just couldn't stop myself in the midway.. Overall I would give it a rating of 7.5 in 10.
@srk: thanx for another 'your kind of comment'... and I am glad I scored a 7.5... the analysis that you've done is commendable for sure. I too think that Niel didn't do much of a great thing in 2007, but its just that he thinks he did...its his state of mind..but I guess we guys can figure out much better reasons in our own lives to name ourselves as the best person in a particular year...and I think that's what Late Mr.Niel wants us to do...the difference is that he died as a 'lover'...we have better dreams to live for :)
wooowwwww!!!!! dats ws really awesome dadabhai....i generally dnt like novels...bt u md me hold till d end.....every line was so catchy...d best lines wrin d beginning of d story.."d best person u met in 1985 m 1986(if m nt mistaken) ur mom ws next bcoz she gained senses d next day and " dbest person i met in 2006: RHEA , d best person i met in 2007: NEIL and dey stayed in dat page forever"...bt i thnk d end cd hv bn a happy 1 coz dey didnt live happily ever after in d story..:(:(neways 4m nw onwards...u r CHETAN BHAGAT-2 4 me :):)
@tandra: thank you Sister-in-law...especially for mentioning your favorite lines out there... ...and about the Happy Ending...I am sorry...next time :)
awsum buddy... nicely written... even I felt cheated wen i knew that the best person Niel met in 2007 was he himself... but the explanation he gave is justified.. This is the first novel I have ever read and I am proud that the author is one of my best friend.. expecting some more 4m u buddy...
spellbound....it took me two minutes to realize what i read....n come out of the character line.. can say, this one is so far the best of ur writings, very polished..till the end u didn't disclose the name of the girl u were narrating the story and when u did in form of abc's daughters, tht two with two alternatives... kudos to ur story telling man..though i still feel that sob vikram should be hanged...lol the last lines are amongst my fav. ones...."for once their names are together... to sum up i can say..that this one was a perfect mix of that innocent romance...to obsessed love inter woven with ur kinda twists and turns...no where can a reader loose interest in this one... bow down to the story god..abc....i can't stop praising i liked t so much
@taniya: hey...it means a lot when you praise...coz you are such an amazing writer yourself...i am honored, to say the least...thank you Taniya...and if at all I have been able to bring in some details in my story-telling, I must admit that I have learnt this trait from you...thank you :)
omg.......m flattered...can't stop smiling..n dnt know what to say.... thanks a lott man.. though u r "seriously" good at it.. take writing seriously now n go ahead u"ll do wonders with that naughty little pen of urs, it has oceans to narrate...
Abc u Sure Know how to keep ur Readers clinging to the Story...Leaving the whole world aside..!(I totally risked My Life to Read this in 1 go) It was as good as a SUSPENSE Novel...u just did not Tell the Name of the Best Person u Met in 2007 in the End..!wotta twist..!:-0 Any way coming to Neil- In the First Place How Can he ever takes the Girl Back who cheated on him...n not only Take Back but also Trust Her So blindly..! He Should Have moved On with a New Chick…lol... Whereas Rhea Dint Look Ashamed Enough of herself for two-timing..Until she took her own life..! Jokes Apart I really Felt Bad that Neil Died in the End…He Deserved a Better Treatment...He Could Have Also had two Daughters like Raashi & Ashwariya..!:)
@rashmi: he he...thanx...Well, Niel was in such a state in love where 'nothing else matters'...and ya his life got screwed up big time...even I felt bad writing about that loser/lover...whichever way you see him !
Superb story telling bro...I didnt expected the story to take such a drastic change at the end. Once again the way u can ended is beyond perfection,,,this is a unique skill of yours, n it keeps the readers curious about- wats goin to be the next,,,moreover it indirectly modulate our thought n understanding,,,as lots of questions arise in our mind as we place ourself in those situation. Hats off to u!!!
I do feel that many people have gone through such bitter experience in life as Neil,,n this novel wud help oneself to judge the situation in a much practical way as u relate ur life wit it,,,
As for Rhea, the story perfectly depicted her confused n instable mind which led to her death.
lastly the epilogue was simply awesome,,,the message conveyed was very clear. It was very difficult for me to guess- the best person u met in 2007. And the answer to it, simply changed the entire focus-from love story to realizing facts about ourselves...and provoking a very simple question in our mind -"do i really know myself,,,"
Finally, it was a master piece,,,,keep up the gud work,,,
@satz: bro...the greatest satisfaction that I get as a writer is when somebody understands the point that I am trying to put across...this, as you said, is not a suspense story or a love story...its only a story about states of mind...about ups and downs...about reactions to situations. Nobody here is a villain...not Rhea...not even Vikram...it's just the way people are brought up and the way they think...that's it. I am so so happy that you got the real meaning of the story. Thanks man...thanks a lot :)
hey abc... read ur story... really a vry appriciative work.. i m fond of fictions... nd ur story really good.. i read upto episode 8 last tym..nd was waiting for the end..niel met himself was justified.. bt y most of love stories end at a sad note.. poor niel.. nyways all the best for ur more superb work in writing....
heyloes..i read ur blog in one go... its capitivating with nice turns, unexpected folds to d story n perfect language.. nice..kp up d gud work..n keep writing.. though i felt in d end there wil be something more to it..it showed that u want to pass a msg but that cud have been a li'l more well reasoned n explicit in d story.. it was logical butt still left some questions unanswered in mind..brilliant...amazing yaar..
@pooja: thanx ya....and i agree that the end could have been different...but there are reasons why I decided to keep it that way...the readers are free to interpret whichever way they wish to :)
ds one ws gud.... but dre wre few points which i wanted to talk about that wre well explained by sharique... keep going better... I can see , fb loss ... is Mind Gamer's gain.... keep going..... :)
Till now I had just heard of ur stories but somehow didn't get a chance to read them. This was something big I missed. The story is awesome!!!very beautifully narrated...really commendable! It's Awesome!Fab!Superb!!Toooo Good! Way to go ABC!!
Simply a touching story.. I loved the way you made your readers imagined everything happening with the characters. The last part where Rhea dies is quite shocking. That part made me to think what rhea was actually thinking before doing that. Still I must say you have got all the qualities to shine in this field. All the very best.
