Stories and Storytellers

There is magic in every story and the magician is the storyteller. Spellbound I read, listen, tell and retell stories.

I am more than my parts
I am still I am, in spite of living or perhaps because of living
I am not what I was, nor do I want to be
I am who I am
All that I am is what you make of me
I am more than the boundaries of your sentience
I am ..

  1. You know this is what I meant. You are light years ahead of anything i have associated with these names. And I don’t say that lightly.Between RB/Greenteaholic and you – you make me so happy that such beauty and depth can come off a show that honestly doesn’t even begin to justify its existence as the source of the inspiration

  2. Bravo! It takes maturity for a writer to dive into mature subject matter. I always knew that you were a reader who could see the all the picture, but today I know the mature lens through which you eye the world itself. Enjoyed thoroughly.

  6. Arnav is talking about his married life , seems like he was yearning for a listener like khushi to pour his heart out . Arnav is very cordial with his ex wife & him answering Maya’s endless questions is irking khushi . Finally this girl has started reacting , she was more or less emotionless after NK’s death . Love the way Arnav – khushi’s relationship is shaping up .
    A very mature concept , penned so well Clap

  7. Not sure what took me so long to get here, but here I am my writer guru, my soul sister! You have magic in your hands and I hope you will continue to weave together amazing stories… I am your reader for life!

    This quote is apt in how awe I am about your writing ability…

    “According to this law [the law of Dharma], you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world–and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.”
    ― Deepak Chopra

  8. CHAP 25
    Meera has bonded well with her ASR & Mohan . Going back has shaken the child , Mohan is also worried about Meera’s departure . Khushi is hit by the reality of situation , seperation from Arnav is hurting and equally disappointing too . The decision is in khushi’s hands , she can either make the three of them happy forever or go back to her life back in US , just staying alive and not living .
    Looks like Manorama has decided the future for her khushi and Meera , an happily ever after for the four of them as a family .
    Well written MB Big smile

  9. Hi Mirabell! I have known of this story for a while & have been meaning to read it at leisure but that hasn’t happened. I have read bits & pieces of the story & have many good things about it …comments that it so richly deserves! You know you have got it right when writers of the calibre of Meera30, Sandhya & Chokri_ASR recommend this story! 🙂

    I plan to read this story properly from the start and will leave my thoughts as I go along…and while I do that, a big ‘thank you’ for all your efforts to bring to us this story! I will hopefully catch up soon!!

    Lots of love!

  10. A cheer to karmic manifestations of love! 😀
    There is this indescribable sense of glee when I find myself at the beginning of a journey. Particular one that promises to dance upon the senses with heart and a fine pen.
    I hope you’ll enjoy this passenger hitching aboard the SC Train. ^^

  17. Hi Mirabell! I was looking for this story they say it’s a bad omen to leave a book unfinished or in my case I had lost the name of the story and it’s been nagging me for a while, so I said to may self let me google it on IF and found it today but I can’t seem to be able to view the chapters.
    The last time I read it, Khushi had gone to some village can’t remember the name with her daughter and mother in law and had a fight or a misunderstanding about Arnav wanting her to accept him and for her being worried what will her mother in law think about it, I believe this was a phone conversation of sort correct me if am wrong.
    But all that I side I would really like to continue reading if it’s ok with you.
    I will wait for your reply.

      1. May the force be with you too Anu!

        I’m wishing and sending good vibes out so that all those stories one wants to read in their entirety are completed this year or steps are taken in that direction.

        Mirabell, I highly recommend Anu’s story (on hold currently, but I’m sure Anu will take up her quill soon), beautifully written.

  22. Hello, it’s endearing to read your characters, they feel so real like it could have been me who is Arnav/Khushi. Thank you for your vision, however I have only been able to read until Chapter 14, how do I access the rest? Hope to hear from you soon.
