She preferred English despite hindi being her mother tongue, he was proud of his language. She was a typical modern girl, he a desi boy. She was his Tapanadyuti - sunshine and he was her Neeraj-lotus. Their love story was like a bed of roses, beautiful but with lots of thorns. Love doesn't sees age, but the society does. She was 10 years younger than him and the villian of self doubt made home in his heart and she tried hard to kill it. He fell first, approached first, but also broke her first.
