Sweet Tooth

I saw him on the day of Mehendi,
Admired him on the day of Haldi,
Liked him on the evening of Sangeet,
And fell in love with him on the day of my best friend's pheras.

He was Jiju's best friend-the one who had also met me once when I was seven. I remember those curious, starry-night eyes from back then and his voice from the time I drunkenly called him. He says he's ready to wait for me. He says I am his happily ever after.

I believe him.

But there are many things-and many people-holding me back, stopping me from going to the man I love.

He is my Rudra, and I know he will take his Rudra roop if I tell him everything. But these are my battles, and my faith remains unshakable.

She is the girl who gets high on sugar.
The one who hides her strength behind her smile.
The one who conceals her secrets with her chocolate affair.

She knows far more than an ordinary citizen should, and that is exactly why she is the chosen weapon.

He came out of the syllabus.

The perfect Indian gentleman-hailing from old money, a man of morals and discipline-just how she likes her men. Raised in a big family, shaped by a troubled past, he knows the world far beyond his years. And that is exactly why he recognizes the kind of woman she is.

They are nothing short of a divine play-
"Pakka Bhagwanji ka haath hai isme, warna toh yeh dono possible hi nahi the."
