THE WORLD OF ISS
PYAR KO KYA NAAM DOON
[Fan Fiction which is set within the world of Iss Pyar Ko
Kya Naam Doon, there may be slight change in the story line and timelines but
for the most part the world of IPKKND remains intact and the writers have not
taken liberties with the characters or the settings]
And here we have the first installment of the IHF
for the month of August, with usual suspects and someone new.
But this time “we” bring to you a hidden
gem….something that has not been mentioned by any of our readers that have been
so kind to post their personal favourites.
The credit for pointing out this piece goes to Anamika100…I
shall be eternally in your debt Anamika not only for the wonderful discussions
and debates on our favourite pieces but also for introducing me to this Hall of
Famer.
Solid Soul

Anyone who has read this piece will know exactly why
this is a Hall of Famer and for those of you who haven’t read it I suppose a
little introduction to this piece is in order. This is a piece that squarely
fits into the World of the IPKKND category, in the post Khushi-ASR wedding period,
but that's where all similarities end and the brilliance of the writer takes
over. The first thing that will strike you, or at least that struck me was the
manner in which the writer has played with different locales and its effect on
the evolution of our heroine. It is quite unusual. Its not a static piece, in
terms of location i.e., whether the domestic or the international locations.
Not only is this unusual but also adds a different feel and flavour to the
piece and the writer has ensured that it has been well maintained throughout by
adding local flavour to each destination that she touches upon. I am sure some
of you must be thinking, that I either have nothing to write or else have lost
all sense propriety of what adds value to a piece. However, I stand by what I
am saying. This finer detail has greatly enhanced the feeling of this piece and
has made it personal to the characters and each and every little action
perpetrated by them within their world. In fact this piece, is a mastery of finer
detail, which come together beautifully to produce a complete package. Not something to be read in a rush but to be
enjoyed at leisure. The depth of the characters shows the time and care with
which the writer has crafted each one of them, and the manner in which the
story has evolved over time also bears witness to the storyteller’s craft that
seems to be this writer’s forte. She has beautifully taken us to the depths of
despair and then we see the Pheonix rise again! And how! Not only her
characters are well defined but interact beautifully with each other and the story.
Another distinguishing factor and perhaps something that will vindicate some of
the viewers / readers are who have been highly irritated with our very own Mr.
Akash S. Raizada are his not so “Akash-like” actions in this piece!! A definite
recommendation….with the hope that it gets updated soon.
The credit for the second HoFamer also goes to
Anamika100, although I am beating myself for having missed it…since (sorry
Gargee, but I am sure this wont come as a surprise) I stalk Gargee’s
homeworld…read Index and Fan Fiction pages!!
A Little
Bit Stronger by Gargee
This is such a delightful piece. A little less
intense but superbly written, as is Gargee’s wont! There are some pieces that
you will come across that maintain and translate the feel and flavour of the
actual play in such a superb manner that the next stage of the story seems like
a natural step. And “A Little Bit Stronger” happens to be one of those pieces.
You can actually “see” Arnav gritting his teeth in irritation and than being
baffled by the unexpected absence. The firecracker surprise, was just that a
surprise! And what a surprise, and definitely not something one would have
expected to be the consequential cause of the expose at the micro and macro
level, both. But either ways, it is such a fun read. The only regret is that its
sequel is still a “work in progress”. Nonetheless, this is about “A Little Bit
Stronger”, which is very highly recommended and should be read at the first
chance that one gets.
