Parallel Lines

Tara Mehra(21) is the kind of student professors dreamed of having in their class-sharp, disciplined, and always prepared. Her love for mathematics is unparalleled. In her third year of pursuing a B.Sc. in Mathematics, she is not only the topper of her class but also admired for her quiet confidence and dedication.

But Tara isn't all about numbers and equations. Beneath her studious demeanor lay a cool, laid-back personality that made her approachable. While most people see her as serious, those close to her know she had a playful, easygoing side that balanced her academic rigor.

Then came Dr. Neil Sharma(28), the newly appointed professor in the mathematics department. His reputation as a brilliant mathematician preceded him-renowned for his groundbreaking research and for solving problems most wouldn't dare to touch. But with brilliance came an intimidating presence. Neil's strict demeanor and no-nonsense attitude left little room for familiarity, and he had a knack for making even the brightest students second-guess themselves.

He is everything Tara isn't-rigid, disciplined to the point of obsession, and entirely closed off from the world outside his equations. While Tara's easygoing nature attracted her peers, Neil's commanding presence silenced rooms.

Two opposites. Two minds destined to collide in a dance of equations, egos, and emotions.

It is said that opposites attract, but sometimes, they also ignite. And in a world that demanded order, their love would defy every rule.
