Adultery The Rural Posting: Shipra's ordeal.

[dindigul]

Shipra’s submission to patode has reached its zenith. It was perfectly strategized & executed by patode. My salutations to the writer for his creativity and hard work to ensure regular and excellent updates of this fantastic tale of debauchery & depravity.

I have a few thoughts (read apprehensions) about future progression of the story.

1. Shipra’s reluctance
Most erotic aspect of the story has been the reluctant involvement of shipra in patode’s sex games. Her apparent unwillingness made the story very real & created the sexual tension needed to propel the erotic engine of this story

Would shipra’s total surrender mean end of reluctance on shipra’s part? This would be tragic. It would be interesting to see how the writer takes this element forward.

2. Patode’s dark turn

This episode for the 1st time shows a glimpse of patode’s dark side. It has scared & worried namratha as well. The erotic tension of the story is rests on the fact that patode never forced shipra. She did everything reluctantly but consensually. I hope this ultra-dominant version of patode does not run roughshod over shipra.
(also hope that blackmailing techniques are never used and those recordings were just a misdirection for readers from a very clever writer)

3. Involvement of Toppo

Erotica’s can be blended with many literary genres. It famously goes togather with horror, thriller & drama elements. This story has also so far blended thriller & mystery elements with erotic narrative with great success.

But one genre that cannot go along with erotica is melancholy or sad melodrama. In my experience, one cannot be hard (aroused) and heartbroken/sad at the same time.

Shipra’s submission to toppo would be tragic/sad for following reasons-

• Toppo is a purely evil character with no redeeming qualities. He engages in financial corruption & sexual harassment 
In comparison, Patode has some redeeming qualities. He is charming, sometimes even genuinely concerned for shipra’s wellbeing. He rescues the village woman and shipra, even though for his own selfish interests. Readers can still relate to this morally grey character & his quest to conquer shipra.


• It would also be unfair to alok. Alok might be floundering in his personal life as a husband but in his professional life, he was a competent and honest person.
Shipra’s submission to patode can still be rationalized as punishment for his failures as husband. So, we do not feel too bad for him.

But shipra’s involvement with Toppo would only be perceived by readers as punishment for a young man who dared to stand against systemic corruption.

PS
Above criticism/ apprehensions are only valid if one views the story from an exclusively erotica point of view. If one analyzes this story, as a thriller/ mystery, the direction of this story could not be any better.
I am curious to see how Suraj juggles various genre elements in this story without compromising on the erotic quotient.

This post is not a request to change course. i shared my thoughts in the spirit of open & honest discussion. Suraj should progress with his version of the story as he is the master of Ambruj universe. He knows how these intersecting story threads would develop in future. many plot points that we see unfolding might just happen to be clever misdirections meant to guise something even more riveting.

I look forward to the writer’s response.
