Hi Khushi, I Just Wanted To Drop In And Say That I Read The Book You Recommended, Rukmini: Krishna's

Hi Khushi, I just wanted to drop in and say that I read the book you recommended, Rukmini: Krishna's Wife by Saiswaroopa Iyer. I found it very interesting. I loved that the book was so Rukmini-centric. And I loved Rukmini and Krishna's interaction before they got married. But after they got married I felt like they spent more time apart than together and their relationship felt more like siblings and/or roommates rather than spouses (except for the fainting scene, which I loved). I also missed the actual Shishupal Vadh (why would you write a book about Rukmini and not include Shishupal Vadh in it?) and also the Dantavakra Vadh scene made no sense to me (when he abandons her when she's literally dying after being stabbed). I actually liked the ending though, especially the part where Vajra recognises them and realises that they will always be a part of him. All in all, I enjoyed the book very much although I think the author made some very interesting choices, which I would not have. Anyway, I hope to keep writing more stories to fill the void in my life for more Rukmini content. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Love, Pri.

I completely agree, I did like their relationship in the beginning, I loved the opening scene but I was sad that the author decided to skip Shishupala Vadh, I was really looking forward to it, especially from Rukmini’s POV and the shows definitely don’t do it justice, they always make it about anyone but her when it should be about her.

I don’t remember much from the book, I’ve read it while ago but some things did seem confusing to me and overall I had mixed feelings about it.

I want a boyfriend 😭. I want to go to Garba with him, celebrate Diwali with, play Holi and fly kits with him. That holiday fever is really bro 😭.

I want one so bad. I want to walk hand in hand to class, show him my ceramics projects. Look at the stars and smile as we pass each other in the hall. Go see school plays and games together.

One thing I won’t ever understand about romance books is that when there’s more than one book, if it’s a universa type thing than that’s okay but if it’s not than what the fuck are you saying that can’t be said in one book?

Apollo is the better love interest for evangeline. Jacks is literally a psychopath?

I hate the fact that Jacks left Eva alone (Chaos dosen’t count) while she was in vampire venom after she stayed all night with him when he was under vampire venom 😭 like what was he thinking??

The scene at the start of Prisoner of Azkaban in which Harry accidentally summons the Knight Bus after seeing Padfoot never fails to make me incredibly sad when I think about it. Sirius didn't even want to talk to Harry or try convincing him of his innocence, he just wanted to see him. Sirius had so many chances to try and convince Harry of his innocence, but all he wanted to do was kill Pettigrew and ensure Harry's safety. Him roaming Little Whinging, him hiding under the Quidditch Pitch bleachers during Gryffindor's matches, all he wanted to do was see Harry. He loves Harry so much, my heart aches.
