Dearest Readers,

Firstly...thank you so much for your immense love and support towards Gulmohar. I am truly overwhelmed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I may not have replied to each one of your comments because I just switched my job two months ago & my responsibilities and work timings both have changed. I'm still adapting.

When I began Neelakurinji I didn't think that there would be such a wide acceptance to that story. Satyendra and Shravani 's story was an experiment which worked so beautifully and I was scared to come with a season 2. But the thirst to pen down a story which is based on a real life couple was the reason Gulmohar came into existence.

Yes!!! Gulmohar is based of a couple who are still living their happily ever after, I have taken my liberty to adapt it as per my understanding because I couldn't ask them for how they fell in love so yes the draft remains same but story was woven against this storyline.

Real life Nishchay and Saanchi are probably still on their world tour.

Real life Kyra is married to an engineer and stays in Chennai with her handsome husband.

Real life Kyra loves her Mumma more than her Pa ❤️ Their bond is beautiful. (Warding off evil eyes)

I know you folks are waiting for the last chapter of the book eagerly. I will take time to write their consummation scene because I want to justify their passion and wait...so please wait patiently ❤️ Apologies in advance if the chapter is delayed.

Flower series is all about second chances in life. I know many of you have different opinions about Nishchay Saanchi Sudeshna and it's completely fine. Every argument is accepted because it's all about perspectives.

But time and again I have said if you want perfect characters then my books aren't for you. Please remember this point.

You will never find perfect characters in my books and I stitch them like that because I want to keep my characters near to reality. I'm not writing a TV serial or a bollywood movie here. I'm trying to keep my characters near to reality if not 100 percent real. My way of writing is a way of social commentary towards what happens in this society. But ofcourse I do put forward my perspective.

Many of you think Saanchi is a fool. She deserves better. Why is she in love with Nishchay. She deserves better.

Answer: True!!! But she is in love! And sometimes your heart is not under your control. The reason why she kept away from Nishchay all these years, because she knew if she saw Nishchay with Sudeshna she cannot handle it.

Many think Nishchay didn't deserve Saanchi...he's selfish...he only thinks of himself...he is a cheat....it's wrong for him to feel possessive about Saanchi and still say he loves Sudeshna. He has always hurted Saanchi.

Answer: We are no one to decide who deserves whom! Stop being judgemental specially to people who are in love!!! Saanchi isn't a kid.. she's an adult and it was her choice to marry Nishchay.

Honestly speaking if you call Nishchay selfish to have a mother for Kyra...many of you forgot Nishchay tried to keep away Saanchi from Kyra but Saanchi-Kyra's bond was made in heaven. It was so strong that even Nishchay had to bow down to it. Saanchi married Nishchay for Kyra's sake. She too was selfishly in love with Kyra. Nishchay was a bonus!!!

Many said Nishchay forgot Saanchi!!! He considered her just a silly crush.

True!!! Because he found love! He loved Sudeshna. She came in his life when he was broken and healed him. And I see Nishchay to be this dedicated boyfriend/husband because a honest and loyal partner will never look back when he has his love in his arms. He was honest with Sudeshna about his feelings for Saanchi but he always thought it's one sided and never approached Saanchi about it.

Initially because he was scared.
Later he didn't need to because he had Sudeshna in his life. So why would he cheat on her.

Many want Nishchay to forget Sudeshna because they think Saanchi suffered and it's unfair towards Saanchi.

But people here are forgetting Sudeshna was his wife, mother of his daughter, the lady who showered him with love that he yearned from Saanchi...you think it's easy to forget your first wife/love/partner and move on??? Specially when there is a living photocopy of your love that so lovingly calls you 'Pa' everyday???

If you ask me!!! NO!!! And that's why I love the fact that Nishchay's one portion still loves Sudeshna. She still deserves that love and will always have that portion of Nishchay...but Saanchi had all of Nishchay. His love and even that portion embraced where he loves Sudeshna.

Above all ..the logic where you can't fall in love again is stupid!!!

You can fall in love again and again. Don't you love mom, dad, siblings and family...isn't that love too??? Don't you make more than one friend in life? Isn't that love too??? So how is it wrong that once you loose your partner, get a divorce, break up with someone you can't start your life again.

I have told this time and again with all my novels. Love can happen again and again... with the same or a different person. You can't write a checklist to define love. You can't expect a package in love.

Love is love!!! Can happen to anyone, with anyone...like I have said before and I say again...

People are right or wrong!!! Situations are right or wrong...love isn't!!!

Love is always right!!!

And to people who hate Sudeshna... she's not a vamp... neither is she the godly heroine... she's not white .. she's grey...but she isn't wrong.

People are upset that why didn't she encourage Nishchay to propose to Saanchi.

Reason!!! Why should she? Nishchay isn't a child. He's a grown up man who should take his own call. Infact no one should tease, encourage, discourage anyone about their feelings for another person.

Love is a delicate matter. It should only be your own choice or decision for telling someone or confessing to someone.

Consider what if I tease a buddy with someone he has a crush upon, he develops deep feelings for that person, I keep telling him to go propose to that girl, he does that and if the girl refuses???

Or if they get into a relationship and then it turns toxic???

In either cases you always have a guilt inside you that you matched them up...why on earth should you become a matchmaker when no one has asked you to????

People only think from positive perspective...from a negative perspective if it backfires...you screw up both your friend 's love life and your friendship too. Above all a silly guilt will always kill you... although they broke up because of their incompatibility but they get a chance to point fingers at you.

So why be there in the first place!!!

Don't influence young minds!!! This is the reason why I feel Sudeshna wasn't wrong..you can't expect everyone to be a dotting friend but that doesn't mean she wasn't a true one.

Falling in love isn't wrong....so Sudeshna wasn't wrong too...ok she was selfish when she got to know a day before marriage that Saanchi is in love with Nishchay...but I don't think any sane human would ignore their 4 years of relationship and tell their would -be husband that his crush loves him back. Sudeshna just pulled her guards up and like any human being guarded her territory.

Yes she was selfish but come on honestly if you were in Sudeshna's shoes what would you do???

Phewwwwwwwww!!!

I know too long for a note but I wanted to say this out loud because many have been pinging and asking me about love and life after this book.

To everyone this one last time..

Everyone deserves a chance in life. Just because you are a divorcee, a widow/er,had failed marriage/s, had failed relationship/s doesn't mean it ends there.

It means God has written something more beautiful for you. Give it a chance...give yourself a chance...And don't give a fuck to this society or the world. Your happiness matters. Be the judge of your own life.

Love others ..but love yourself the MOST!

Self love is most important ❤️

Thank you for tolerating my rant 🤭 This is all I could explain further feel free to have your opinions...I can't change or influence your mindset...neither do I want to...it is all about perspectives!!!

Just one request... please be a little humble and don't try to attack my characters ruthlessly. It hurts.

I love you all ❤️

And to those who asked me will there be another book...

Yes!!! There will be!!! Flower series will continue and it's next book will be one of a kind..

Flower series is all about your second chance in life and till this gives hopes to people and spreads smiles...

It would continue..

After Neelakurinji and Gulmohar..

Be ready to relish the perfume of a 'Hydrangea' 😉 Don't ask when...my bucket is overflowing already!!!

Epilogue in the writing...will be out by today or tomorrow ❤️

Till then.

Keep reading Keep supporting ❤️

Love Love ❤️
