Many years ago, a story was blogged in several episodes under the pseudonym ‘dushyant c’ & the tentative title “let’s see where this story takes us..”. There were many responses and comments along the way that prompted me to continue with what I started
Here are many of the comments typos and all:
Dc..really thats exactly how it feels ..the dam is broken...u keep going and we keep reading..been fun ...and interesting...I caught up yesterday as i missed the sunday's continuation....this is great, keep rolling
ciao for now

Dushyant - The story is coming along fantastically. Wow! There would be very few people who would be able to spin the yarn the way you have. And don't worry about how we find your articles. Just click on your handle and all your articles appear. It was a nice idea to number them. :) Happy writing.

... I started on the first blog today and read it till the finish.. It kept my interest .Keep penning..

the part where rohan(?) and sharon have a talk in the restaurant and she walks out on him seems to be a bit too short for the strong emotions that were unraveled in the later part of the story. if i were you, i would build up on that a little more. the last part, the last conversation between aditi and her brother falters towards the end. please make it a little more stronger. she needs to object a little more towards his marriage plans.
dude, please slow down :-))
rest was great. you have succeeded in keeping us interested for this long. congrats
can't wait for another encounter between rohan and aditi :-))
and for comments, don't worry. you will get plenty at the end. i am pretty sure there are many of us who are following this and waiting curiously for the next one. keep writing and don't look for feedback.

i looked at one of the parts of ur series a few days back and was not really impressed...maybe i was reading it out of context...today i went back to the first one...and kept going...pretty brisk narrative...finished them all in one sitting...
wow...quite a yarn u got going there bud...keep 'em coming...i love the way the characters are evolving...but what i'm missing is the first person narrative of the other characters...i wish u had also written parts from adi's point of view...diti's mom's point of view...sharon's point of view...i know the dam-burst feeling firsthand...so can't tell u to conciously direct the flow...hopefully, what i'm asking for is rather a bit more flooding of the banks...can't hope for that to happen too far downstream!! :-) (ok...ok...i promise not to stretch the analogy any further) keep chugging cowboy!!

typo typo typo
:It was as if I did not want to end what I shared with Aditi right now
Sharon?
Nirav K
I hope there is some reason why aditi is so obsessed with finances!!!

DC, See what you have done to commoner at xxx? They are ready to forego their dinner, while some wait with baited breath. What have you done my friend by weaving a story of such suspense !
Anyways ur take with the boats n lake on religion was amusing.
Keep that keyboard busy !
IBL
Man the wait is agonizing, just can't hardly wait any longer to hear what happens next... Phew believe or not I read from the beginning till here, today from about 10:30 PM to 12:59 PM... didn't even had a chance to have my dinner. Time to go I belive. Keep great ones comming buddy...

Do something to get rid of the fatigue soon. :D
I would love to here more reasons for her "no"... Doesn't sound convincing. Maybe a "need some time to think over" would be more in place. My 2 cents.
dushyant,
when is that we can see some chemistry between Dhruv and Aditi or is there non ;)
IBL
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa didnt expect THIS anyways!
Sanghamitra
.........hmmmm.....that's an interesting twist in the story......

This is going exactly as i had thought!!!!!! only one request Dush......... don't kill Rohan in the end! PLSSSSSS!
Reshmi
Hi Dushyant, It is fun reading your story...but did you really have to use "hindi film formula" - i mean Dhruv's sacrifice after hearing Rohan's mom etc..anyways keep writing...
Priyami
Nice read, comrade dushyant C. But since I was reading your blog-serial for the first time, I couldnt quite figure it all out. In order for it all to make sense, comrade Dushyant, do I have to start all the way at Episode #1 or can I jump in somewhere later?

I have really enjoyed your series, DC... and I'm looking forward to more. will email you the contact of a reliable local publisher, and we'll take it from there.
Do keep on writing,

dushyant, Well, that's an abrupt ending I would say. Anyway, the story has to end... but personally, I expected quite a bit more though. Yeah, i can understand your feelings... we all have just 24 hours in a day and the sad part is we can't buy time either. And as atracus puts it, take everything with a pinch of salt... but keep lot of salt handy, anyway. Great, story dude... if you ever publish it... do let me know. I will be one among the first to buy it.
IBL
dushyant, The story, I was looking forward to everyday eagerly has come to an end, I am a kind of sad for *Dhruv*, Every good thing has to come to an end; so they say... so did Dhruv and the story. Thanks for the great one DC. Enjoyed every word of it.
IBL
dushyant aka DC,
Well, the narration of He n Dhruv were equally good, I should say. Yes, it definitely sounded like He... but it was expected I believe. You seem to be appriciated for the She narration may be coz u articulated a women's point of-view very well. I should say, you are a very good observer. Do let us know when you get it published. In the end, all I would like to say is:
Please don't Go...
Rainy days bring back memories of you
And we will never lie
We want you by our side
Thinking of you
Makes us not want you to go...

dushyant,
:) Either it was my current state of mind or i was completely naive to almost half believe that this cud be true ...! Im sure most of us wud be able to identify and relate to the 'he' & 'she'...if not as ourselves, atleast of ppl whom we know .....
all teh very best! and do keep us updated when u publish this - and pls add in this - xxxxx@rediffmail.com to ur mailing list - if u r maintaining , that is :)
And perhaps, u can contact the mgmt in xxx if they wud help u in publishing it in the US .... cheers!

Hi Dushyant,
Not only I was following the story that you wrote but also i was thinking if you cud have done this or that....
This or that :-
Aditi, as mentioned in your story, is full of independent views but she is part of the society, what did she tell people about her being pregnant and not telling people about her marriage?
How did she manage to hide her feelings about Dhruv at work place where he was ?
And why did Dhruv not want to tell about his marraige with her, why he wanted to keep it a secert - there has to be some reason behind it.
Did his mom know the name of the girl Rohan loved ?
If she didnt know about it, how come she let him marry Aditi who was about to have someone else's child. Because so many major decisions in Dhruv's life were influenced by the decisions that his uncle and mom took for him ?

If you could have given some details of the life of Aditi with Rohan, how he coped with her behaviour specially before the son was born and how he had helped her come out of "Dhruv".
And how come she came in terms to accept Rohan as her husband and lived life with him like his wife...

Story was very gripping and interesting.... I enjoyed reading it and waited for the next episode to be published....in fact this story made me log on to xxx and go through other weblogs and put my comments......
would like to know when u have it published, will buy a copy to add in the collections of the books i already have....
breeze&waves...
dushyant,
> lesson two post it with a female handle?
he he... yeah, its kinda true... guys blogs gets ignored most-of-the-time... Its more like chatting, where women enjoy much attention... n still complain that they are not getting their due.
Anyway, all the best n keep bloging... either as a male or a fe-male does it make difference to u ;)
IBL
was away - and saw the last few posting just now !
although the ending was a little hurried, i can understand ur situation too!
and definitely i would love to get a copy if u get it published! i am sure there is a pretty good market out there for such stories. of course a little elaboration here and there & details would make it well rounded!!
