Hi!!! Divya Maheshwari here, your favorite emotionless wonder reporting live! Ever wondered what life would feel like with zero feelings? Let me tell you—it's like living in a desert, but not the exciting, camel-filled kind. I'm 25, and guess what? Never had a crush, never found anyone attractive. Love? Eh, who needs it? I'm perfectly happy being my own soulmate.

Oh, and there's my best friend. He loves me, poor guy, but the only sparks flying here are from the time we plugged in a toaster wrong. For me, Vishwash Das is my bestie. For him, I'm his girlfriend. Confusing? Yep. But who am I to ruin his daydreams?

Now, here's where things get spicy—I'm heading home after FOUR YEARS. Why was I gone? Well, let's just say "personal issues" sounds better than "ran away dramatically because life is hard." What were those issues? Stay tuned for the tea. Spoiler alert: this is not some cheesy rom-com where love magically fixes everything. Does love at first sight even happen in real life? Nah, that's a Bollywood scam.

Fast forward to my return home, and guess what? My life just got a plot twist. My mom, the real MVP, has rented out a room to a girl whose sole purpose in life seems to be driving me insane. Shraddha Soni, She's like that one mosquito you can't swat away—constantly buzzing around, looking for new ways to annoy me. Headache? Oh, she's a full-blown migraine. that crazy Kamal Dhokala Girl.

So, what do you think? Am I destined for a slow, sarcastic life of drama, or does fate have something weirder in store?
