GENERAL

If you landed on this page seeing the cover, thank you, but please be warned, though this tale does have Swara and Sanskaar and a few familiar faces from the serial, the story is not a romance. Rather, let me put it in another way, it will have love and hatred, misunderstandings and differences, resolutions and solutions, as well as a happy ending, sort of, but not one that any reader, who is a fan of SwaSan, will expect, or even want. 

This story can be classified as an 'open' fanfiction, as no knowledge of the serial is required (in fact, it is preferable, if you do not know anything about the serial) to follow the tale. 

If you still wish to plunge ahead and read this story, I give you a virtual hug...or two.

"Life is the art of being well deceived; and in order that deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted."

~William Hazlitt~

Welcome into my world of Deception, where everyone has a secret to hide, whether big or small, whether they know it or not, whether they want to hide it or not; not realising that when you hide something, you are deceiving someone. When you hide something from someone or tell an outright lie, you manipulate them into making a decision which is more in your favour and one which they might not have made if they knew all the facts, especially the one you have hidden or lied about. When you make a mistake in a fit of irresponsibility, you do deceive too.

"The art of pleasing is the art of deceiving"

~Luc de Clapiers~

Your intentions do not matter, what counts is that you have deceived. Life is not crystal clear nor are all decisions that are made so easily categorised as right or wrong, black or white, good or evil, most are circumstantial and subjective. However, circumstances change and we judge past history on currently valid objective grounds, which is why our actions, though logical and well reasoned in the past, would appear as deception now.

"Oh! What a tangled web we weave,
When we first practice to deceive"

~Walter Scott~

A tiny lie, a small slip up, a minute mistake, a slight of hand or a suppression of fact, all lead to a tangled web of lies, fabrication and distortions.

This is such a tale; a tale of lies told, mistakes made and assumptions formed. A tale of small secrets buried deep, misunderstandings that rule and misconceptions that run rife. A tale of life and laughter, of sorrow and tears and of love and loss.
