I wake from a dream of Indian Summers a movie series I have been watching. Your love story brings to mind that love is not lost. The love continues with in the future seven times until we get the right equation and when that occurs nirvana. Mistakes, not failures, losses are inevitable but to believe that love is the most precious endearing whisper that is so often misunderstood. Eternity and cycles spiral 🌀 ever searching to find the perfect connection to become parallel hands clasped together walking side by side side . “Souls will meet again, seven life times.”

You deserve the gold sari award. I had the chance to come to Mumbai for a wedding and didn’t take it. I probably would have stayed. Some events are not meant to be. The cycle continues to ever spiral out into the unknown.

It’s beautiful how stories travel, and how they find echoes. As for Mumbai… never say never?

This story is both moving and beautifully written, Jayshree. What really hits is how it shows the heartbreak of lost love and the way pride, ego, and society demands can mess things up.

Thank you, Charlotte. I appreciate your comment so very much. Yes, the original sheds light on a rigid society - mistakes may be recovered, if only the world was kinder!
