Is love blind? .......Oh yes it is!! - Prologue & Part1

[PS: this is not based on the serial Arjun.....]

Love.........

“Falling in love is exactly that ... Falling. You don't have much control over it”

“Love is without reason. “
“Love is a sweet torture”

You can go on and on about Love…………..It is indefinable….if it is defined then it is not LOVE.....

**********************************************************

This story happens in and out of a college campus. As usual, the story is about love, friendship, silly fights, dreams, hatred, gang wars ……… It revolves around few youngsters (of course students of the college) whose lives are entangled between some questions….

Which gets the first priority? Love or friendship!!!

Can a girl and a boy remain just friends forever?

“Love at first sight”….. Is it really possible?

And many more for which there are no definite answers…..

College life is the most beautiful phase of life. Student groups and fights between groups are part and parcel of this phase….so this college is no exception……….

I will introduce few of the characters in the story…the rest will get introduced by themselves as the story unfolds…….There is no one hero/heroine in this story. Each character is a hero/heroine in his/her own way…..And as the story proceeds, we get to know LOVE from each of their perspectives! 

*****************************************************************

Hi, I am Anjali….Falling in Love wasn't my cup of tea but fate forced me into matrimony with a guy I hated the most!!

My name is Kripa……I viewed Love as a distraction to my aims and ambitions till I met him……..

Hey there, I am Deepak………I did the worst mistake of my life…..I fell in love with my closest friend!!!

From dusk to dawn, I dream only about love but unfortunately, I never found my true love!!  I believed that a prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet but....

Loads of love,
-Sheetal

Hello all….Aashu here……Sorry friends, balancing between studies and my friends, I am left with no time to think about love….

Guys, I am Sidharth…..Love was nothing more than bullshit to me….and then one fine day, I fell deeply into it…..….I get whatever I wished for…….Will I get her love, the love I long for??

Hello everyone Let me introduce myself…….I am Rohit……..
We liked each other, we understood each other, and we trusted each other……..Yet we weren’t made for each other

All these and more…………….” Is love blind? .......Oh yes it is!!”

Introduction scene........

The board in front read………

“GCE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING”

I looked at the board as I proudly walked into the campus.
Hmmmmmmm… At last I am here in my dream college. Though I am happy that I am here, I am equally tensed and scared. 

I am new to this place. I have no friends here. All my friends have joined other colleges. Hoping that I get good friends who match my wavelength, I walk towards the college notice board……………………

That’s Kripa. She is a first year electronics engineering student. Hold on, don’t imagine a fashionable, smart and model like girl. Kripa is far from all these
she is a simple, shy, introvert girl. She is average looking, stout and short. For her, Studies is of top most priority……..All these years, she did not have time for anything else except studies…
So her definition of love is distraction
Will she change her opinion? Will she fall in love here? We need to wait and watch!!!

**********

Elsewhere in the same city........

Tring Tring………..the cell phone rings……………A hand comes out of the bed sheet and picks it up lazily
In a sleepy voice “hello” 

“HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” screams the voice on the other end

The scream made her sit up………. “Hey Aashu, why are u shouting? I am not deaf dear”

Aashu: Oh yeah….then you should have heard the alarm of your clock... and u are still in bed??

Girl on the other end: [sleepily yawning] “What is the time now?”

Aashu: (shouts) ANJALI!!!!! It is 8 in the morning and you are still sleeping…..remember we were supposed to meet at our usual place at 8:30…….Sheetal and Deepak are already on their way

Anjali: (comes out of the sleepy mood) WHAT???? 8:30!!!! Why didn’t you call me earlier? Our college opens today, right??

Aashu: RIGHT!!! And we can’t be late the very first day.

Anjali: oh no!!

Aashu: oh yes, out of your bed right now and get ready quickly……I will be there in another 10 mins….

Anjali: hmmmm…….okay, I will try

*********************************

Anjali and Aashu – best friends since 1st standard………….Sheetal and Deepak joined them since 10th standard…….

Anjali - naughty, smart, outspoken, chatter box…… leader of this group!!!

Aashima- friends call her Aashu......sensible, thinks well before doing or speaking, disciplined, always on the run to keep her friends away from problems created by their own pranks…..controller of the group!!

Sheetal- dreamer, her day dawns with the belief that she will meet her prince charming today…if not for her friends, she would have been in love several times and dumped too…….gets scolding from them for her stupid theories on love!!

Deepak: comedian, fun lover, prankster. Idea box!! But his ideas usually result in problems for the group!

All four stand in 4 different directions but still they are best of friends. Right or wrong, they have a single voice and stand up for each other at all times…..
They have joined the same college and are in the computer science section…It’s their first day to college too……

(To be continued.........)
