ACT I (Autumn 2006)

From the crowd that usually develops around

Ganesh Mandir on Wednesday, I saw a face which

looked somehow different from others.

My friend Sanjay took me to Ganesh Mandir, where

boys use to come to see girls and girls would come to

show their glamour…..

I wasn`t interested but Sanjay forced me because he

was to meet his girlfriend, I agreed but I told him that I

won`t be coming inside the temple. Sanjay went inside

the temple and I waited for him outside……..I saw her

waiting for her friend.

I went to her and said:

“don`t you think this a love spot rather than a

Mandir……”

She: “ya…..me thinking the same….”

Me: “hi…myself Arman Singh…..and you……..”

She: “Avantika Menon…….. I guess you are also

waiting for you friend…..”

Me: “ya…he has to meet his girlfriend…..you are in

which school….”

Avantika: “actually I am new in Mhow….but I am

joining Army School…..”

Me: “then we will be meeting each other in school

also……me in same school in 9th class…….”

Avantika: “ohh…nice…..I will be in same class ……”

Then her friend came and both of them left the temple. After some time, Sanjay came and he asked me who was she…

Me: “she is joining our school in 9th class.….” Sanjay: “Abe mast dikhti hai sale….baat badhana agee….” I thought, for the first time going to Ganesh Mandir was somehow productive for me.. From the mist & fog, through the bright sunshine, I saw her again. It was after the autumn break of 2006.I was in the 9 C class. As usual, every boy expects a good looking girl as a new admission after the vacations. There was a recent admission as my friend told me. She was a South Indian girl, very good looking. Previously, as I saw her for the first time, I felt an attraction towards her……(in the Ganesh Mandir….though I don`t even look at a South Indian girl). For the next few days, I use to admire her every second.My friend Arvind, Vikas, Sanjay, Bhavin were in dilemma that how Arman started falling for a South Indian girl named Avantika Menon. Few days passed admiring her.

Our class teacher Mr. Rohit Saxena, was a nice person but on the other hand a hard hitter also. It was on 2 Dec, I asked Rohit sir for the piece of chalk to rub the ink on my shirt. But he asked me to come out and stand beside him (three more students were there). He started slapping us one by one (I had approx. three and a solid one).. No one knows why he started slapping us….. I wasn`t afraid of the slap but my impression on Avantika (seriously didn`t knew that the slaps would be more stronger than my love).. One day Arvind came to me running as if a dog was behind him, told me that Avantika has a brother and that too in 9 A. Her brother Jeeva, a very build up guy so strong even me & my friends won’t be able to tackle him. As I saw Jeeva, thought my dreams were in danger. After that I never tried to get close to Avantika (off course I loved my bones more than the South Indian girl).

Prabhjot Singh

I never talked to her after seeing Jeeva……..

She was the topper of class and me……..

My first love story ended up admiring

her.

ACT II (Summer 2007)

The ninth class passed admiring her. She topped in class again (I came 5). But the joy of summer vacations made me forget the south Indian girl…During summer vacations I watched so many movies and some porn also(every teenager boy watches porn).. The vacations went to pass on, the fear of school started developing in me but there was a hope of new admission. Our school reopened on 3 July. I kept a record of not going to school on the first day. On the second day, I came with the hope of new admission (disappointed to know that there was no new admission). After one month a girl named Bharti Garg got an admission in our class. New session, new good looking and sexy girls, was the most awaited thing for me.

Prabhjot Singh

11

This time, I received a very nice gift of new session…….….she was so good looking and I must say hottt………me, a fan of her legs….those white waxed legs……were the ones I haven`t seen ever…. She got admission in my section only…….I created space near me for Bharti by removing Happy from the seat. I wished that she would choose the empty seat on my bench. The same thing happened accordingly. She sat on my bench….the boys of whole class gave me such tough looks as if they all would kill me (off course they would be jealous …mast item mere pass jo baith gayi thi) Me: “Hi……Miss……”

She: “Myself Bharti Garg…..and you…..”

Me: “Arman Singh….by the way…why did you choose

my bench only….”

Bharti: “I found you most decent among the whole

boys and I don`t wanna sit near girls because they are

Prabhjot Singh

12

always jealous of each other only…”

Me: “ok….as you wish……..”

Our class teacher Mr Sahil Kumar, always seems to be drunkard (we use to call him TALI) came near me and gave a look as if he wanted to say “Mast item set karli….” We use to have computer as first period and Sahil sir was a PE teacher. He used to take attendance & after it….PE class. CS students use to go for lab. There were approx... 8 CS students of which only 3 girls… In our first CS class,CS teacher Mr.Abhishek Arora took an introduction of the class(but not of mine because I had already taken tuitions of different languages from him since 8th class) Arman Singh is the topper of CS branch, said Abhishek sir… Then he asked some general questions……I knew all the answers but I didn`t answered any of them because I wanted to test Bharti`s knowledge..

Prabhjot Singh

13

She answered all the questions correctly……. Abhishek sir warned me in eye to eye contact that Bharti could be a tough competition for me…. After the CS class, Bharti asked me: “So…..ASM CS topper doesn`t knew such simple

questions….isn`t it strange…..”

Me: “Honestly speaking………I was testing your

knowledge…and found you intelligent……”

We reached our class room……those 100 m distance seemed to be 10 m for me…..got very less time to talk to her………. Next period was of Physics……I was quite intelligent in Physics but Bharti told me that she had loose hands in Physics……I got a good chance to get close to her by helping her in physics.Mr Jayesh Singh, was our physics teacher with less knowledge……… I never respected him as a teacher….I use to call him

Prabhjot Singh

14

Jayesh only… I told Bharti about cold war between me and Jayesh since from 9th class… He was jealous of me, as I would question him the most and sometimes catches him if he teaches wrong concepts….. He use to feel good by asking difficult questions and making students feel embarrassed. So he asked a question: “How can we say that the universe is expanding……..” The question was quite good but not from his mind (reference book H.C Verma) He first asked the toppers of the class (ratuu ones) but none of them answered……Jayesh knew that I was capable of answering the question but he use to ask me in the last only….was afraid of his image.. Half of the class was standing….(in first class asking such a question…is what Jayesh was known for..) Next turn was of Bharti….he said… “Yes Miss new admission……what`s the answer……” Bharti…..stood still…

Prabhjot Singh

15

Jayesh started making fun of her……

“Mere samne meri hone waali girlfriend ki baezati…….”

In front of me…..my upcoming girlfriend was being

embarrassed…

I told her: “Bharti…I have written the answer on my

copy…just read it..”

She read the answer……… “Sir….it’s due to red shift…….the Wavelength of light is increasing….” Jayesh: “ok….it`s a correct answer….you all may sit…” Bharti: “Thanks……Arman for saving me……”

Me: “it`s my pleasure….and remember one thing

don`t ever say the word THANKS again….we are

friends……”

Bharti: “ok…..”

After spending some time with Bharti, I thought:

Prabhjot Singh

16

Arman god has given you another chance, forget the South Indian girl (as Bharti was fairer & good looking than Avantika). Days passed on, talking to her (only as a friend). It was 8 September, I proposed to her after school hours: Bharti: “I love you…..I will only marry you….” and ran away without asking her for the answer (I was feeling so nervous as it was my first propose)……….. After proposing her, in 5 min rain started. My friends told me that god has listened to me (she will say yes).. Next few days I didn`t even talked to her. My friend Arvind went to her for the answer. Bharti: “why didn`t Arman himself came…….I won`t be killing him….by the way it’s a no from my side….” Obviously she would have said no as she could get a smarter boy than me.

Prabhjot Singh

17

I remember the date quite well, 20 Sept. My friends, Bharti and her friends were playing truth or dare game. They forced me also to join. Just for Bharti in my life for the first time, I played the truth or dare game…... It was Bharti`s turn, she chose dare. Arvind asked her to address me as Clumsy. She said: “Arman you are Clumsy”. It seemed that the word Clumsy have taken the breath out of me as I never thought that she would say this to me. I was upset; she consoled me by saying that it was only a dare and not from her side. But my heart didn`t approved off….. Somehow our English teacher Mrs.Sood heard this. She scolded Bharti in front of whole class. Bharti cried throughout the break. Bharti and her friends thought that I have told Mrs.Sood about this.. It was one of the turning point of my second love story.

Prabhjot Singh

18

I got her email address from Chanchal and started mailing her. I mailed her the messages of how I felt about her. But unfortunately Bharti`s father saw them. On 10 Nov, we had a parent’s teacher meeting.There, her father and my father met. After that her father told the whole scene to my father. My father came home, scolded me a lot (that 2 or 3 days were my life`s worst day).

My second love story ended up in a

manner that none of my

Friends thought off.

ACT III (Rainy-Winter 2008)

It was almost a year after that worst incident. My mother told me to get milk from market. I was on way to return to my house, saw a girl with a guitar hanging on her back and wearing a skirt (her legs were so sexy…..in my life I haven`t seen that kind of legs…..more sexier than Bharti`s)….She was so good looking that every boy would dream of her. I thought, Arman TERI DAAL NAHI GALAYGI YAHHAAN (you don’t have any chance). I was having a utensil….dibba in hindi…….so I speeded up my cycle….was afraid of my first impression on her…… My brain told me that you shouldn`t be a dreamer but my heart told me that you should try your luck for the third time. Avantika was still my classmate and off course her brother Jeeva too. I found information about the girl with a guitar.

Prabhjot Singh

20

She and my friend Sanjay’s girlfriend, both use to come school in the same bus. She was a Punjabi girl, Aparna Gill (in 8 class & me in 11).My heart started planning a happy married life, as she was also Punjabi. I made me introduced to her via Preeti (Sanjay`s girlfriend). I had a policy with myself that if I have to propose a girl, I would propose her in first or second meeting (may be that was one of my biggest mistakes). Now,I loved to go to school, as I found something interesting in school (Aparna).In our school, there was a policy that every alternate year there would be an Annual day. This year it was 26th Annual Day. I wasn`t interested in taking part in any of the programme in Annual day (as I was born to become a computer Hacker). Aparna was to sing a song on annual day (butterfly by Miley Cyrus) with her two friends. She used to practice her song in front of our class in first period. I learnt the Butterfly song at 4 a.m…..just to impress her.

Prabhjot Singh

21

It was something like: “You tucked me in, turned out the light Kept me safe and sound at night little girls depend on things like that……..” I decided to propose her in the first period only (as her class was on the backside and seniors were not allowed). 2 Dec 2008, was the decided day. As on next day I was to leave, to attend a marriage in Punjab. I gathered all my courage and went to Aparna; her friends saw me coming and started smiling as if they knew that I was coming to propose Aparna. I said: “Excuse me Aparna…..I wanna say something to you.”

Aparna:”ok say what you want…”

Me:”Aparna….Aparna……Aparna…..I love you…”

Her first reaction was “What!!!!!”.

Prabhjot Singh

22

She was pretending as if she hasn’t listened what I said. So I repeated… She gave a positive smile (as if she was waiting for me)… I came back to my class and told the whole incident to my friends. Even my friends were assured that she would be saying yes. I was so happy on that day (as happy as sad I was on 10 Nov 2007)… Next day I went to Punjab……I told Sanjay to ask Aparna for the answer…. As I reached Bhopal station at 6:00 p.m.(Malwa Superfast express).I called Sanjay: Me: “did you asked Aparna about her answer………” Sanjay: “Ya……..she said that she will be telling the answer to you only….” I was so excited to get answer from Aparna (obviously yes)…. I returned after 9 days…….Sanjay told me that he didn`t asked Aparna…..he lied… Me: “chal koi nahi…………I will…..”

Prabhjot Singh

23

On 13 Dec, I went to her and asked for the answer….. Me: “Aparna have you decided…it’s almost 10 days

more than enough to take a decision”….

Aparna: “What…I don`t even know you……..so just

leave me alone……… “

Then I returned back to my class and told my friends about this. They were in shock as no one thought that she would say no. It was our math’s period after the break; I was upset and started becoming Devdas. But soon I realized that there is no shortage of girls in this world (may be something better was waiting for me). Whenever a girl would say no to me, I used to console my heart by saying that “Arman god has Chosen you to achieve great success in the computer field, to make people remember your name for centuries and he does not want you to indulge in these things”.

Prabhjot Singh

24

After this thought, I used to feel special (as in Mhow no one knows computer more than me & in Indore I may be considered under top 50). I learnt html & c++ in 8th class,sql & Vb in 9th class,php & Pascal in 10th class, Java & J2ME in 11th class, Android & JavaScript in 11th class. So I had a good treasure of computer knowledge (You may think that I am an overconfident guy). For next few days I tried my best to convince Aparna but it went in vain. I asked Preeti(sanjay`s girlfriend….we use to call him Chinese billy) to make Aparna convince but she also failed….So my last hope was Avantika…. Avantika was her bus mate. I told Avantika to make her convince that I am good guy (later on this proved to be biggest mistake of my life). Me and Sanjay, use to roam around Aparna`s house every evening (between 7 to 8 p.m)….. Just to have a look of her. One day Aparna`s friend Saloni came to her house for the practice of their song.As usual we were roaming around Aparna`s house….

Prabhjot Singh

25

The way Saloni started commenting on us, thought Aparna has decided to change her mind. But that was only a mystery for us……..she once again refused…… I waited for her at the guitar classes but never got a chance to talk to her. Her timings use to change every day. I went to Reshma (Aparna`s friend) to seek help, she assured me that she will talk about me to Aparna. Me and Sanjay use to wait for Reshma early in the morning (6.00 a.m)….it was so cold outside……month of December…. According to me she never tried instead she proclaimed that I am in love with her (may be for the f#@king popularity)……

Prabhjot Singh

26

ACT IV (Jan 2009)

Sanjay told me to forget Aparna and to have an alternate option….so, in the mean time I proposed another girl Meera Ahuja. She was my classmate. My friend Arvind use to like her……you may think that I am not a true friend but Arvind himself told me to propose her. I use to have tips from her on how to make Aparna fall in for me.But throughout the conversation; I used to think about Meera only. Her friend Suman told me that she likes me and not Arvind. Meera was a short heighted girl…… Meera`s friend challenged me that I don`t have the courage to propose Meera. I proposed her……….in filmy way you can say…… I tried my luck for the fourth time on 13 Jan……as my

Prabhjot Singh

27

favorite quotation was: “Try try but don`t cry….” So I was following……… It was our chemistry lab period, I stopped her……no one else me and Meera were there…

I said: “Meera close your eyes for a minute….”

Meera: “ok……”

After 10 sec…….

I said: “Open it now……..tell me what you

observed…..”

Meera: “Darkness…..darkness only…..”

Me: “that is what my life…… is all about without

you………”

Meera: “What are you saying….”

Me: “Meera…..I love you…….”

Meera: “Arman we are good friends….I never thought

Prabhjot Singh

28

of you in this way…..please give me a day…..I would

tell the answer tomorrow….”

Me: “Ok…..as you wish…….”

According to me it would be a yes from her side but girls even though they like the guy, always try to make them:

“Joru Ka ghulam……Henpecked…” But what a guy can do….in the end he has to wait only…… Why are you looking at clock continuously Arman…..said Ishan (my cousin bro)…….do you have to meet someone special in the school today….he empathized on the word special……..I told him about Meera… I use to tell him all my secrets…….about my crushes…he suggested me to get chocolate for Meera……. I met Meera at her Physics tuition class…..Sanjay used to accompany me in every propose…….. Firstly I gave her Bourneville chocolate……as if you don`t give girls a chocolate (and that too

Prabhjot Singh

29

Bourneville),they won`t say in the favor of a guy……Lesson 9….7 UP freshology course for guys… As I gave her the chocolate, she started to blush as if she will say yes… Me: “Meera you have had your time…..I can`t wait

anymore…so do tell your answer….”

Meera: “You are a nice guy……you are good friend….”

If girl starts to say these lines, then it is no from her side…as Ishan told me….

Meera: “I don`t trust you……how can I believe that

you won`t be proposing other girls as you did

previously……”

She refused my proposal. But now I had a good

experience of listening to f#@&ing word “no". It was

something that doesn`t matter to me now.

But this incident speeded in the school like a forest fire. Each student of 12th class started asking me:

Prabhjot Singh

30

“Kya tune Meera ko propose kiya….”

I asked Meera: “I only proposed you….aur to kuch nahi kiya tha”….. Meera: “But mein kisiko nahi bataya……” The thing that I don`t like about girls is that if someone proposes them, requests them not to tell it to anyone but for the F#c%ing popularity girls do spread it…. It may be interesting to know that:

GIRLS ARE THE FASTEST MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.

They spread the matter with the formula:

V2 = C2 (m2 – mo2)/m2

Prabhjot Singh

31

V: velocity of the matter C: velocity of light M: mass of the matter. Mo: rest mass of the matter. Since mass of the matter is very small, so it’s higher powers can be neglected. Therefore the speed of matter becomes infinite even more than the speed of light (3 x 108 m/sec) which is indeed very high for the communication.

My fourth love story ended up in a

manner as I thought off……

Prabhjot Singh

32

ACT III Continued (Jan-April 2009)

I decided to give a last try for Aparna and went to meet her for the last time at the guitar classes on 4th April. Me: “Excuse me Aparna…can I talk to you for the last

time…”

Aparna: “no….”

Me: “Please for the last time…..”

Aparna: “listen I am going to Delhi……so just leave me

alone…”

I told her to please talk to me for the last time but she once again repeated the same unbearable dialogue that she said during her answer before. I felt so bad, as I wasted 6 months just to listen “Please leave me alone”. I wanted to abuse her but something stopped me….. Now it was my crucial year (12th board). So I decided to concentrate on my studies rather than in things that only hurts me.

Prabhjot Singh

33

I joined PCM tuition classes where Avantika used to go, not for Avantika but it was suggested by my sister. Avantika had taken PCM+Biology and me PCM+Computer Science. Aparna went to New Delhi on 13 April…… I thought how I would live without Aparna …..and went to Sanjay`s house. He consoled me by saying may be god wanna you to have a girl which would love you from the bottom of her heart. He always wanted Avantika to be my girlfriend……

My third love Story ended with

“Please leave me alone...”

Prabhjot Singh

34

ACT V (Summer April-May 2009)

I enquired about the tuition timings from Avantika…Avantika told me to meet her near Zenith shop so as she would take me to the Tuition class….. My friend circle suggested some irrelevant things (to make Avantika fall for me just forrrrr……………things which every guy looks in a girl..) but they forget that she has a brother Jeeva…he was capable of increasing the number of bones from 206 to 230 or more…. I met Avantika (Jeeva too…he was like a body guard) at 3:45 p.m and went to our tuition which was situated in a farm house type away from the hustle and bustle of town life… Avantika introduced me to our sir Rakesh Yadav….and I sat near her in the tuition class….. Meera, former girl whom I proposed…..gave critical looks to Avantika …. (I don`t understand one thing, if a girl had rejected a guy, if she see the guy with another girl……why they feel jealous…?)

Prabhjot Singh

35

During the break between Math’s class and Physics class, Avantika asked me why Meera was giving her such critical looks…. I replied: “I proposed her and she rejected……..”

Avantika: “Tell me naa how did you proposed her…”

Me: “Why are so interested…….she was my past and

you are my future…….i said it very slowly…..”

Avantika: “What did you said…..”

Me: “She was my past and I wanna concentrate on my

future…”

Avantika: “ok…..I took it as something else……”

Me: “What else……tell me naa..”

Avantika: “Nothingg……”

(according to me she heard what I saiddd……….)

Prabhjot Singh

36

Meera came towards us and said:

“You guys look nice together…….Arman your new girl

is better than previous one…..”

Me: “I don`t wanna talk to you…..and by the

way…..she is my friend and not more than that…..”

I told Avantika that we should leave for Physics class……. In few days, I joined a painting class to make myself forget Aparna and also I had interest in drawing. Jeeva, whom I was afraid off in 2006, now became my friend (only as tuition mate). We now use to go tuitions together with Avantika. Before this, I had a very bad impression of myself on Avantika…….may be due to things we use to do in class… For the first time in 4 years I talked to her as a friend (previously as classmate only). Now being more than classmate, my old suppressed love started overcoming the fear of Jeeva.

Prabhjot Singh

37

I started liking Avantika again, knowing the fact that Jeeva was still his brother and will remain. In few days I had a new friend Param, who was neighbor to me.Thought he is my friend, I told him the whole equation about Avantika. Param also joined the same tuition. Now me, Param, Jeeva and my love use to go tuition together. Param told me that he will help in making Avantika fall for me. His job was to engage Jeeva so that I could talk to Avantika with some privacy. On my first private meeting with her, first dialogue that came from her side: “Ab kiske piche padhe ho,chodo ye sab ek ladki ek

piche concentrate karo”(now who is your next target,

concentrate only on one girl)………….

She said this in a way that she wanted me to concentrate on her. As we reached her home, Param joined me and both of us took a short cut way to our home as it was already 8 pm(usually our tuition gets

Prabhjot Singh

38

over by 7pm).. During the journey to home, Param told me that he won’t be able to tackle Jeeva anymore; he does not like him… He told me that I should tackle Jeeva and he would talk to Avantika about me. I said ok (my second biggest mistake)….. From next day onwards, the same was implemented. I thought that Param is making Avantika fall in for me but instead he tried to make her fall in for him..…

“peth piche khanjar ghobb diya” (he betrayed me)…. It was on 22 Aug,me,param & other friends went to Bhopal to give NDA II 2009 exam. I came to know the whole truth during the journey. I felt so bad because I never thought Param whom I trusted would do this to me. He used to tell me that she likes you, you have a good impression on her. Had he told me the truth, I would not have interrupted in his relationship… For me friendship is more important as you can find girls throughout the life but true friends are precious.

Prabhjot Singh

39

But I consoled my heart by repeating the same dialogue that I used to……. Param got a slap from Jeeva because he started proclaiming that Avantika is his girlfriend. I decided to deviate my mind from Avantika and proposed my another classmate…..

In the whole act I forget to quote an instance.

When I was in 11th class, during our Physics Lab period, Avantika asked me to meet her outside the lab alone. She said: “I wanna say something to you.” My friends forced me ……

But I didn`t went outside the lab due to Jeeva……

“Par vo kya khaina chati thi vo to raaj hi rahe gaya”.

That is mystery now.

No one knows except Avantika……

ACT VI (August-Sept 2009)

Nirali Sharma, my classmate name was the word that used to be on my tongue every second. It was only to deviate myself from Avantika. Before the 12th class, she used to be my biggest enemy as according to me she had some kind of attitude…but how I developed feelings for her………..never knows……. She was a computer science student..... I was the topper of computer but in the half yearly exams I decided to let her top so that I can get our fight for the topper to be ceased…. In the half yearly exams she topped in class with 59 marks out of 60 and I got 58…. After the results I went to her: Me: “you got 59 marks……..very nice…..how did you managed…tell me also yaaar….” Nirali: “hmm…..Arman Singh is asking for help and that too from a girl…” Me: “ya…..” Nirali: “I only practiced hard& that’s it….”

Prabhjot Singh

41

Nirali used to go tuition for IIT-JEE at Anand Institute. Her batch time was from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. I decided to propose her at Anand Institute at 4 p.m. 4 Sept was the day, I proposed to her……… I said: “Nirali mein tumhse kuch kaihna chatta hoon

agar tumhe bura na lage…”(I wanna say something if

you don`t mind)..

Nirali:”Yup……..”

I took it as no…. So I repeated, she said yaa…. (her mood was quite pleasant) As I said the three words….Her reaction was as if I have demanded for one night stand…….she went inside her tuition and said something that I didn`t understand ..… It was a suicidal mission type in which a person knows he won`t be able to retain himself. She refused but the way she reacted, I never thought off. Later on, from one of her friends I got to know that she

Prabhjot Singh

abused me “……off…..” Then after this I tried to talk to her. I sent a friend request on Facebook but she didn`t even approved…. I only wanted to know why she abused me off…no other intentions ……may be due to our previous fight… I told Jeeva about Nirali as he was a good friend of Nirali but didn`t knew that he will tell this to Avantika also…. One day Avantika and I came back from school together on our bicycles. Me: “hi…..how are you…….” Avantika: “I am fine……..do tell me a thing…….” Me: “ya…….” She said: “You and Nirali……are you serious”…. I didn`t knew what to say so I said: “Ya….… “(My third biggest mistake)….

ACT VII (Oct 09-Feb 2010)

Param told me that Avantika has started liking him, she acknowledges that she likes him but can`t say yes due to his brother Jeeva. He also told me that he has kissed Avantika (though it was fake but it I felt somehow bad)…Avantika heard this conversation between me and Param.. Avantika told Param that she only took him as a friend not more than this……. I thought God has given you another chance Arman, go and get your girl. I am Punjabi, we do think that if we do not get things which belongs to us, snatch it…… But before proposing Avantika, I decided to give her some space as she won`t be able to trust another guy…. I used to be there whenever she needed a true friend, enquired about her mood when she was feeling upset……..maybe I loved her from the bottom of my heart.

Prabhjot Singh

45

One day, way return to home after Chemistry tuitions, Avantika forced me to show my drawing book… As I showed my sketches she said: “Arman you impressed me yaar…..”

Jeeva: “Itna he impressed ho gayi hai toh shaadi karle

isse………”

Avantika didn`t respond to this statement of Jeeva. But what would a guy think if a girl says these things to him? According to me; girls only says these lines to a guy whom they like … My friend Vinay Raj (South Indian) helped me in understanding Avantika better. One day Vinay, asked Avantika to have a ride with him on his new Hero Honda Twister bike. During the ride, Vinay to Avantika:

“You know Arman ka latest crush kis par hai”(You

know who is Arman`s latest crush)..

Prabhjot Singh

46

Avantika: “Nirali……”

Vinay: “No…..Avantika Menon”..

Vinay told me that Avantika`s reaction was quite good when he said these lines to her.. maybe she likes me……. Then after that conversation with Vinay, I decided to tell Jeeva about my feelings towards Avantika, he understands it very well and decided to help me (this is known as a true friend)…. My friends circle told me that if Avantika comes to my house on Diwali then she loves you and you should propose her and if she doesn`t come then forget her… On 5 Nov,Diwali….Jeeva and Vinay came to my house…I was expecting Avantika also but she …… I got somehow upset and Jeeva asked me to smile as it was Diwali… but this incident is similar to these lines of the song….

Prabhjot Singh

47

“Aakh hai bhari bhari aur tum muskurane ki baat karte ho jindagi khafa khafa aur tum dil lagane ki baad karte ho”

I asked Jeeva: “Avantika kyun nahi ayi”…(why didn`t

Avantika came)….

He said: “she wanted to come but due to a party in

our house…..she will coming on next day…..”

Then I took a deep breath because I got an assurance

that she loves me …..

After the tuition classes on 15 Nov,I asked Avantika to

have “Pani Puri …and baraf ka gola……”with me..(I had

less budget…but most of the girls do like pani puri)

She rejected my offer as she was to leave to attend

some function in her house…..

But She promised me to have the same on next

day……ok…I said..

Prabhjot Singh

48

Next day same was implemented and Meera gave

same looks to Avantika…..but somehow they became

good friends…….

Days passed…..and I got more closer to Avantika….

Our syllabus was lacking behind in maths, so our maths

tuition teacher decided to have two batches of maths

class.One at 4 pm & another at 8 pm.

So I decided to propose Avantika at 8 pm….

I told the whole plan to Jeeva;told me that he can only

give me 5 min not more than this..

I remember the date well, 23 Nov 2009.

I proposed the girl whom I loved from the bottom of

my heart but took so many years.On 23 Nov at 8:05

p.m., I stopped her and said:

Me: “Avantika Mein tumhse kuch kaheina chatta

hoon”…

Prabhjot Singh

49

Avantika: “ok…..phele apni Activa ki light bandh

karo….meri akhon mein….”(the fucking lights of my

Activa)..

Me:“Avantika I love you….”

Avantika: “ye to mujhe patta hai…..kuch aur

batao”(this I Know, so tell something new)

Me: “No…seriously I love you….Hum itne aache dost

ban ga ye hai….tumhari baaatee” (We are good friends,)

Then after this Jeeva came and he asked Avantika what

Arman told you (he was pretending as if doesn’t know

anything but me and he was the master plan behind

this act)……

In the excitement I drove my Activa at a speed of 85

Km/hr which is very high for a 110 cc engine..

On next day I sat near her in the maths tuition class.

Prabhjot Singh

50

I said: “Avantika tumhne kuch socha”….(did you

thought of me)…..

Avantika: “Mein us bare mein baat nahi karna

chati”…(I don`t want to talk about that)

May be she was thinking that I was just joking because

she knew about my past crushes.

I used to change my crush every month,

So she could not trust me…I can understand her

feelings (every girl wants her boyfriend to be loyal)...

Then after this I tried my best to convince her but went

into vain……I gave the story book “2 Stated” by Chetan

Bhagat to Avantika so that she could think of our

relationship as the story was quite similar to my love

story…..

A long conversation between me and Avantika……..

Me: Avantika what’s the problem in saying yes.

Prabhjot Singh

51

Avantika: Listen I am not interested in

relationship…..so better you concentrate on other

girls……you can get a good girl than me…..

Me: But tum jaisi koi nahi mile gii….(but not your

type)

Avantika: You are a nice guy,you should try it on a

Punjabi girl and get settle with her….

Me: But tumhe bhi to Punjabi atti hai(but you also

knows Punjabi….)I am concentrating on right girl…in

an innocent voice….

Avantika: As your wish…..try karte raho but I am not

gonna say yes……(ok….keeping on trying)

Me: Ya I will keep on trying until you won`t say yes……

Then after this I use to tell her how much I love

her,can`t live without her at our every meeting and she

used to repeat the same dialogues :

Prabhjot Singh

52

“You are a nice boy….concentrate on right

place……falannna dhamkaanna”…..

I was bored of listening to same dialogues again & again. I used to get tips from my friends who were in a relationship on how to make Avantika fall for me… But their experience didn`t worked on Avantika…. So I decided to seek help from Jeeva….(the only key that could help me in opening the lock named heart of Avantika…) Jeeva told me that he had talked about me to Avantika and tried to convince her but she didn`t approved of…. He told me that the only thing he can do is not to interfere…. other things you have to dooo…..be a man and get your girl…….. Our first pre boards started on 12 Dec and ended on 22 Dec.. Those ten days were the worst days of my life as I didn`t even got a chance to meet Avantika……. Throughout the exams, she used concentrate on her

Prabhjot Singh

53

studies and never attends the tuition classes which was the only medium to meet her after the school hours.. Then after some gap of 10 days our second pre boards started and the same thing was repeated as in first pre boards… It was the right time to talk about our relationship to Avantika as there would be no exam pressure… On 23 Jan, at 7:15 p.m. after the chemistry tuition class, I got a chance to talk to Avantika alone. Me: “Avantika did you thought of our

relationship…....”

Avantika: “I have already told you my answer..…why

don`t you try for another

girl as I am not gonna say yes…”

Me: “Avantika please try to understand….it’s almost 2

months hog aye propose kiye hue ko…”

Avantika: “Achha tum gin bhi rahe ho…hhow

Prabhjot Singh

54

sweet…”(ohh…you are counting the no.of days…)

“Achha do tell me a thing…….what you found so

special in me”

Me: “Your hairs,your eyes,your

simplicity,your…….everything about you…..”

Avantika: “Achha meri ankho ko specs ki bhiche bhi

itni acche se dekhte ho…..and by the way yeh

dialogue suna suna hai…..”

Me: “ No…. It's my feelings towards you… ..”

We reached her house and once again got failed in

convincing her…

I thought:

Prabhjot Singh

55

Practice makes a men perfect……but

aur kitni practice yaar…

We had our practical from 1 Feb to 11 Feb….

And all set for board exams but for me only 30 days left

to get my girl as she was leaving Mhow on the day the

exams gets over…

14 of February, a most awaited day for the lovers. This

is the day a boy tries to impress his girl and most of the

time gets success….

So I was waiting for this day………

I had a plan to give her a surprise on 14…. so I decided

to do three things…..

Prabhjot Singh

56

To create a greeting with a sketch of Avantika…

To give her a Bournville chocolate…

To give her a red rose……

According to me,

if accepts the greeting…… she likes me 30%

If she accepts chocolate also…….she likes me 60%

And if a red rose also…then it’s confirmed……..

On 14 Feb, after the maths tuition, I gave her the

greeting,chocolate and a red rose… she said:

“So nice…it’s for me……thanks…..”

Prabhjot Singh

57

If a girl accepts a red rose from a guy,then obviously it

means that she loves the guy…..As I thought off(any

guy would)..

But once again she refused…..

I asked her:

“Avantika why aren`t you saying yes…..do tell me

something yaar….”

Avantika: “Listen I love my parents very much,I don`t

wanna disappoint them…..and they won`t allow

this….so better you switch and try it on another girl…”

Me: “I have decided that you are the only one”…

Avantika: “I can`t ……why aren`t you understanding”..

ACT VIII (9806521761)

I went back to my home without attending the

chemistry class.

“you came back early Arman”….said my mother….

I replied: “Mam Wasn`t feeling good today so she

decided to switch off the tuition class…”

“ok……mother replied..”

I prepared coffee for me and sat on my laptop…..

As I was chatting on Facebook…..received a message on

my cell from an unknown number….

“why did you went without attending your tuition

class…”

I replied: “whose number is thiss……”

Prabhjot Singh

60

Received another message: “opps…naam batana toh

bhul he gayi….its Avantika….”

Message No 2: “whose cell is this…..”

Reply :” it’s Jeeva `s cell…….and you shouldn`t have

left the tuitions unattended…”

Message No 3: “I felt bad that`s why I left……I love

you Avantika why don`t you understand…….”

Reply: “achha…ok ….I love you too….I was just testing

you…….”

Message No 4: “Seriously…..you made my day

Avantika….”

Reply: “yaa…..but promise me ki tum mujhe dokha

nahi doge (promise me that you won`t betray

me)…….”

Message No 5: “you can trust me Avantika……..Arman

has never learnt to betray anyone…”

Prabhjot Singh

61

Reply: “ok……bye….good night… get to go……but we

will meet tomorrow in the tuitions…..”

Message No 6: “ok….good night and sweet dreams of

me…”

I told about this conversation to Ishan…He told me that

it can`t be Avantika….someone is making fun of

you….how did she got your cell number…….you

recently changed your cell number….no one knows

except your friends and me….so be careful…..

But if something in your favour is going on, who

cares…….I trusted the message sender…….

Next day was Sunday, so our tuition was from 9:00 a.m

to 2:00 p.m….

I reached the tuition class at 8:00 a.m.… (in the

excitement….)

After half an hour, Arvind came and gave a smile

Prabhjot Singh

62

(shaitani hassiii)

I told him about my last night conversation with

Avantika…..

He again smiled…..and after some time he told me that

it wasn`t Avantika, it was him from his brother`s cell……

My friend, trapped me in a rattrap……previously I use

to do the same with my other friends…..

Me: “Yaaar….tune toh dil he todh diya…..aur kise ke

naam se bolta toh itna dukhh nahi hota…”

Arvind: “sorry….yaar….I shouldn’t have done

this…please forgive me..”

Me: “chal koi nahi……..Avantika ko teri Bhabhi baana

kar hi dum lungan(I will only take a deep breath after

making Avantika your sister in law)……”

Half an hour later, our tuition started…this time I sat

near Avantika…and asked her to change her decision…

Prabhjot Singh

63

But she once again refused…..don`t know what was in

her mind that was stopping her.

After this I didn`t even utter a word for more than

hours…..Avantika admired me throughout the tuition

class…….but why isn`t she saying yes….I thought…

With the head down, I entered my house……

“Hey……you look serious today…..anything wrong with

Avantika…..” Said Ishan…

Me: “That number was of Arvind…….and Avantika

once again refused…she admired me throughout the

tuitions then why aren`t she saying yes……do

something Ishan….pplzzzzzz……..”

Ishan:”ok….let me think……hmmmm…..I think she

loves you but don`t wanna show……”

“do one thing…..show her that you have cut your

hand for her..Vinay should inform this to Avantika,

Prabhjot Singh

64

and then definitely she would come to you…….”

Me: “you sure na……this will work……”

Ishan: “100% guaranty…..trust me….”

I again went with my love guru……and went to Vinay`s

house at 9:00 p.m and told him about tomorrows

plan….

Next day in the school, I pretended that I have cut my

hand for Avantika by having some bandages etc…

Avantika enquired about my hand but I didn`t talked to

her,so she went to Vinay and asked him:

Avantika: “Arman ke hath mein kya hua….”(what

happened to Arman`s hand)

Vinay: “why are you asking…it’s because of you

only….”

Avantika: “because of me!!!!!!”

Prabhjot Singh

65

Vinay: “ya….he have cut his hand for you……to make

believe you that he seriously loves you…….may be

now you would trust him……”

I didn`t talked to her throughout the school

hours…..During our journey from school to home on

cycles, Vinay told me that our planned

worked…..Avantika face was full of care for me…

Avantika stopped me after the tuitions, said:

“tum toh pitoo gae mujhshe…….yeh tumne kya

kiya….”(you will get a tight slap……what you did…..)

Me: “only thing I want to say is I LOVE YOU….that`s

it……”

Avantika: “I love you too babe but can`t say yes…. you

have hurt me…..why did you cut your hand……..”

Prabhjot Singh

66

23 Feb, my birthday…. I thought to ask her for the birthday gift (haan bolne ke liye) I was expecting at least a birthday wish from her side but nothing came from her………. I felt so bad that she didn`t even remembered my

birthday so how would she love me….

My 18 birthday went as if a normal day of my life….

On 24 Feb, Avantika wished me Vinay birthday…….

I said: “The birthday has passed……it was on 23”

Avantika: “But I thought that it was on 24…..”

Me: “Chalo tumhe yaad to raha”(at least you

remembered)…

“toh birthday gift to bant hai….”(so I can ask you for a

gift)..Hann bol do,that`s the biggest gift for me……”

Avantika: “yeh itna asaan nahi hai “(it’s not so

simple)..

Prabhjot Singh

67

I felt somehow bad because I have done a lot for her….

I had spent my 35 $ just to download a French movie

“Amelie”… as Avantika asked me so……

It took 14 hours to prepare the greeting card for her…..

But my name is Arman Singh:

“Itni jaldo haar manne waalo

mein se nahi hoon……”

68

ACT IX (Feb 2010 FACEBOOK)

Never thought that some lines of code by Mark Zuckerberg would do such a favour to me. I sent a friend request on Facebook to a girl who was from Pune.. Her name was quite different……. “Alisha Ambekar” She accepted my friend request on 25 Feb…. On our first chat, I asked some general questions about her…. Then I asked if she is committed… She said no…… Me: “Kyun koi mila nahi……ya not interested in a

relationship….”

Alisha: “Nahi…koi mila nahi…”

Me: “What type of guy you need….”

Alisha: “an intelligent,sweet,caring…..”

Prabhjot Singh

69

Me: “Do I fulfil you requirements….”

Alisha: “Whattttt……???”

Me: “I like you …..”

Alisha: “Listen I wanna have a bf in real life…..not on

Facebook….”

Me: “What`s the harm in trying..”

Alisha: “No……no…….no………..”

I proposed her in a new way………Facebook chat……

Me: “Proposing you in 10 sec…..”

In 9 sec,in sec 8,in 7 sec,in 6 sec,in 5 sec,in 4 sec, in 3

sec,in 2 sec, in 1 sec…..

Sorry the system got failed due to over excitement

from the girl….

Alisha: “I am not exicted……..”

Prabhjot Singh

70

Then again I repeated the same but in the end….

Me: “I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….”

It took 10 more chats to make her convince…..

The first girl who said yes to me…….

…………..YOU CAN SAY A VIRTUAL GIRL……………

Prabhjot Singh

71

ACT VIII CONTINUED (REAL WORLD)

My brain told me: ARMAN get out of the virtual world

and concentrate on real world.

Reality was Avantika once again refused and boards

were on my head……..

Our boards started on 1 March……the exam centre was

at 300 m from Avantika`s house and 200 m from

mine…..

After the chemistry exam on 7 March,I got a chance to

talk to Avantika alone……

Me: “Avantika how was the paper……”

Avantika: “it was good aur tumharra….”

Me: “fine….let me come to the main point why I am

Prabhjot Singh

72

here..”

“Avantika please do think about me….it’s a

request……”

Avantika : “I have already told you…..why aren`t you

understanding….”

“I will only marry a South Indian and not a North

Indian (neverrrrr……)….”

WHAT WOULD I HAVE SAID….

According to me,She had developed a bad impression

of North Indians when she was

in Jalandhar (12-14 years old)……

My last conversation with her on 30 March 2010…..

Prabhjot Singh

73

Me: “Avantika I am asking you last time….”

Avantika: “Don`t do this yaar plzzzz…..”

Me: “ok…..but do remember a thing…………”’

“….Jabhi tum piche mudh kar dekho gi mein hamesha

tumhe wahaan milunga aur ek din tumh mujhe yaad

karke roo giii dekh lena………..”

(when you will look behind, you will always find me

standing for you and one day you will cry thinking of

me)

Avantika: “You are that page of my life……which I will

never ever forget….”

“You made me felt so special on valentine day…..no

guy has done such things for me…”

Me: “HO SAKA TO PHIR MILENGE….aur tab appna

answer change karlena….”(IF POSSIBEL WE WILL MEET

AGAIN)……..

Prabhjot Singh

74

Avantika eyes were full of tears and I said to Jeeva….

“BAS MERA INTEZAAR KARNA….HO SAKE TO

AVANTIKA KI SHAADI MAT HONE DENA”…..and you

are a true friend…..

Jeeva : “Ya sure….but keep in touch….”

Avantika left Mhow for ever…………… I appeared for AIEEE exam and got 91 marks….. I choose AIT Pune for the computer engineering… I left Mhow on 22 June 2010(Avantika`s birthday)..

Was my fifth love Story Ended?

FINAL ACT (PUNE-INDORE)

Reached Pune, a beautiful place, full of sight seen….my

dream city….

Our college was near Airport and about 8 Km away

from Railway station….

I paid Rs 60 as fare to the autoriksha wala.

I reached the college at 5 p.m and looked for the room

on the notice board.

I got a roommate Karan who belonged to New Delhi

(achha hua koi South Indian Nahi mila)

We introduce ourselves and I told him the whole scene

about Avantika and he told something about his

girlfriend who was in Delhi …… (Telling someone so

much about you in first meeting is it right….I

thought….but I must trust my roommate)

Prabhjot Singh

76

I slept early because I have to attend my first computer

class the next day..

In the first computer class, I saw Alisha……..

I thought:

IS FATE PLAYING A GAME WITH ME!!!!

She sat in the third row and me in last row (I had a

habit of sitting in the last row).

Throughout the period I kept admiring Alisha…… Our professor asked me a question……question toh tabh paatta Chalta jab Alisha se dhayan hattaa (I would only have understood the question if I would have concentrated on professor rather than Alisha)….. Me: “sir can you repeat the question……….”

Professor: “Are you present in class or not……….but

he repeated……”

The question was “What is the full form of TICCTT?”

Prabhjot Singh

77

No one in the class answered this question…..

I haven`t listened him throughout the Lecture…..so

how would I know the answer but through my previous

knowledge I answered....

Sir it`s Time-Shared Interactive Computer Controlled

Television Transistor….it is used in manufacturing of

CRTs………

He said: “Good…..but better you pay attention in the

class”…

Whole class turned around and they gave me look as if

they wanted to say:

“how could he answer this type of difficult

question”….they might be thinking that the last

benchers are always the worst ones.

But from 95 looks I found a look that was of Alisha (koi

chera mujhe apna lagga mein takta raha).

Prabhjot Singh

78

Our period got over by 11 a.m and after which we had

a lunch break.

I stopped Alisha and said:

“Never thought that we will be meeting in real

life…..”

Alisha : “ya…..me also thinking the same…..”

I said: “We are in a relationship for more than 5

months on facebook……and now wanna be in real

life”.

She approved off…….we both went to the canteen and

had a samosa & tea…..

Alisha asked me about Avantika…..

I replied: “she left Mhow and I have lost her contact

number and mine landline number has changed……”

Alisha: “That chapter has closed……so let’s start a new

Prabhjot Singh

79

chapter……what you think……”

I was ready……..our lunch break got over and we

decided to meet again in evening during mess hours…..

We used to have same mess for girls and boys….

I had a dinner with Alisha…….she introduced me to her

roommate Rekha…

Rekha was the most beautiful girl of our computer

batch….

My roommate Karan told me to introduce him to

Rekha as he was also in the list of secret admirer of

her…

I made Karan introduced with Rekha and they left us…..

I and Alisha started exchanging info about ourselves

more deeply…..

The dinner got over by 9:30 p.m.

Prabhjot Singh

80

Alisha left for girl’s hostel and me for boys…….

At around 10:45 p.m, Karan prepared tea for us and he

asked me how I know Alisha……

I said: “on Facebook we were in a relationship for

more than 5 months”…..

Karan: “Then what about Avantika…..aren`t you

cheating her…”

Me: “You are also cheating your girlfriend who is in

Delhi …….what’s the scene behind Rekha……..”

Karan: “Nahi yaar……it`s only time pass yaaar…..”

But me serious with Alisha……..and slept as it was 11:30

already……

I was waiting for the Suraj Chachu to come early……..

Prabhjot Singh

81

My routine was:

Wake up at 6, get ready for the breakfast

and to meet Alisha,8 to 11 lecture and

a lunch break of 50 min,12 to 2 lectures, free after the

classes and diner at around nine…….

Sunday was the only day we were allowed to have an

out pass and that too for 4 hours only……

Alisha and I planned to meet at The Empress Garden on Sunday…… It is located near the Pune Race Course along the Pune –Sholapur Road. The place is much popular among the lovers as you hardly get such a romantic place away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. We reached the garden at around 11 a.m. We were amazed to see a number of rare species of

Prabhjot Singh

82

plants and flowers….. I wanted to make this day the most special day of my life but god had planned something else for me…… Avantika………me shocked……….. Avantika saw me with Alisha holding hands together…..She came near us………

Me: “Avantika I am amazed to see you………”

Avantika: “but I am not……..it hasn`t been 4 months &

you had a new girlfriend……..that`s why I wasn`t

saying yes……you guys continue on…”(her eyes were

full of tears)…..and she left the park…….

I felt bad and soon we left the park…..

I reached the boys hostel at 1 p. m, Karan asked me:

“You look upset ……what happened …..Is something

wrong with Alisha?…..”

I told him about the incident that took place in the

Prabhjot Singh

83

garden…

He somehow found information about Avantika….I got

to know that she was pursuing her studies from AFMC

which is about 3 Km away from our college……

Now I used to ignore Alisha……….So one day she said:

“Arman I think we should break up………..someone

else is waiting for you……she loves you more than

me…….”

Me: “but what about you……”

Alisha: “I will manage……..but don`t leave

Avantika…..”

Me: “you are such a nice girl……the guy who you will

choose must be a lucky……but we will remain friends

for ever…..”

Prabhjot Singh

84

Alisha: “ok….now don`t waste your time….”

On 12 Sept, it was Sunday……I went to The Empress Garden with Karan in the hope of Avantika…… We waited for 3 hours and as we were to leave…..I saw Avantika……… Me: “Avantika……listen to me plsssss……”

Avantika: “I don`t wanna talk to you…..”

Me : “Please…..there is some misunderstanding

between us….the girl you saw with me on that day

was Karan`s girlfriend and I was just acting Karan`s

character…….”

Karan: “ Ya……he is right………..”

Avantika: “I know you for the past 4.5 years…….don`t

make fool out of me………”

Karan: “No seriously…….she is mine girlfriend and her

name is Alisha…..”

Prabhjot Singh

85

We somehow managed to convince her……..

I asked Avantika: “How come you in Pune….”

Avantika: “I appeared for AFMC and got

selected…..but tumne ek phone call bhi nahi kiya……&

your landline number isn`t working……….”

Me: “Actually I lost your contact number……..and my

landline number has changed…..and what about

Jeeva……”

Avantika: “He is fine……doing engineering from

Tiruchirapalli with civil branch………”

She said the real thing I didn`t said yes to was Trust….I

wasn`t able to trust you……but now I think I was right….

Me: “Avantikaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…………..”

Sorry babe……I was just joking……………

We exchanged our mobile numbers……

Prabhjot Singh

86

Now I understood the cycle of life:

FROM WHERE I STARTED …..I ENDED THERE ONLY…….

Karan……hey look the train is here……….how 6 hours

passed never knows…….

Karan was to change the train from Indore to

Delhi…..he had to attend some marriage in Indore of

her cousin brother……

During the journey I thought:

WAS SHE FIRST OR FIFTH GIRL OF MY LIFE ?

Prabhjot Singh

87

We reached Indore at 11 a.m and both of took a bus to

Mhow….I forced Karan to stay in my house……

It took 1 hour to reach to my house…….we rested for 4

hours and had lunch………

Me and Karan went to Sanjay`s house……..and told

Sanjay about Avantika……….

Sanjay said: “I told you naa….that God wanna you to

have a girl who would love you from the bottom of her

heart……Avantika………….”

He was quite happy as he always wanted Avantika to

be my girlfriend…….
