1. Dev was going to die by the end of this ss😅. Then I changed my mind when I realised that testing times can not be continued. Then I wanted it to be like that they love each other but never express it but then my mind said "Hey! Its not 1970". Then I finally settled on that proposal because I was in no mood to write romance.

Comedy is remedy 👍

2.

There is a playlist in my wynk app which reads #TSJ! It is a collection of songs which had to make their appearance in this ss. Like JHUMRITALIYA (mere gaon jhumritaliya hai tere gaon shayad timbaktu) .It is quirky enough to fit into any of my works but I could not add it anywhere sadly. Then there is Lathey di chadar from Coke Studio which suits Sona's situation in the fission chapter but that would have been too many songs in a single chapter! Saanwli si raat from Barfi had a tough competition with Saiyaan and eventually Saiyaan was added. Chal kahi door, Afreen, Woh ladki hai kaha made narrow misses because of the short nature of the story. Safarnama is so apt but the lyrics didn't suit DevAkshi so it made its way to the name of the book. I'll have to write bonus chapters for all the songs. 🙈

3. I pressed publish by mistake before the concluding line of the epilogue and I am not editing it. It is my personal memory of my clumsiness.

4. One of my habits is to play self antakshri when I'm nervous. (khud hi m se start karo and continue). On one such day I created the parody used in Cut Cut but I forgot many songs. Then I remembered the forbidden version of the game. Hence cut cut was made

5. I guess on 3rd January I was travelling via the Yamuna Expressway and while trying to click pictures of the food court from an eagle eye kind of angle I fell on the back seat of the car as Papa made a sharp turn! I TRIED to click pictures of the expressway during night because of the lights that are studded in the road (What are they called?) but that attempt too went down the drain because of the fog. Nothing underline nothing was visible. Even the pictures clicked in the day have a foggy look and since it was a summer trip we were dealing with so I didn't add them either

6. Its my habit to read or listen to music while travelling. Hence we saw Sona do it too. My brother has the habit of eating and eating. We buy 2 Lays before we start. My lays packet remains untouched till we reach Vrindavan and he opens it up  and eats it, after gulping his packet too. My brother has other hobbies too ... Eating, eating and eating😡

7. The flour in the proposal was a last minute addition

8. The first chapter of this ss was written on a night when I couldn't sleep for a minute hence the exceptional beauty of the words.

9. The tendua refused to eat Karan. He said he can't eat rot! Afterall he is Sher Khan's subordinate in Champak Van! What? Haven't you read Champak? Nandan? Chacha Chaudhary? Pinky? Archies? No? What did you do with your life then?

10. Nothing. I don't remember any more anecdotes.

Oh SaHad are Pakistani actors who worked in a show that was quite popular on the internet in India too... Yakeen Ka Safar ( I was successful in convincing Shruti and Aamu to see it. Yay! Yay!) It was also on Sumi di's insta id when she posted about her top 5 desi dramas.  Sajal Aly (Sonarika) was there in the film MOM too.

Lastly,
Ankita,Umang, Varun, Ritika, Mr. Rao, Mrs. Shukla, Abhimanyu, Sonarika Lady Bacchan, Yamu ma'am, Juhi, Nachiket, ISS, NEHS (DevAkshi's school in ILY) & Sonali are my intellectual properties. Ask me before using them please if you want to use them by the same name in your writings. Saying so because I saw someone using Juhi (Helly Shah by the name of Juhi casted opposite to Jatin) in his/her ff recently. I didn't like it because Juhi isn't a character she is a reader at TU who asked me to cast her with Jatin and Helly Shah was selected after brain storming for a while. I am not talking about PFL (Partners for Life) but casting Juhi in another ff is as lame as  casting Tanvi of JBKG. Anyways if that person is reading this or any common reader is here please do not start sending me pms on this issue and do not exchange any kind of hate. Lets just be careful. I know there was no ill will behind this act.

Rest of all the characters I've ever used were by their real names or by the names of some character they played on screen eg. Jeevika, Manvi, Khushi etc. I don't own them.

• I've read all your lovely good bye comments and they made me emotional too. Specially, on places where you've said that you guys thi nk of me as an actual elder sister. I have a screenshot of all of them and I'm never going to delete them! Thank you for the love. You may think that I do a lot of formality when I keep on saying 'Thank You' but trust me if you'll hear me say it you'll know the depth of these two words. I mean this THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart because your support has made me forget all my real life problems. Though, I hated it at a point but your spams have made me laugh. Each '😂' is thousand times more precious than all my school trophies. I know its too much to ask for but please remember my stories for as long as your hippocampus supports!
