Serendipity - My entry for the Get Published Contest


Serendipity’ is a lovely word. It creates hope where none exists.

My story is about two people- both in their late twenties. One had been in a relationship that had turned sour and the other had been in love that never got reciprocated. Both were fast approaching what we call the perfect ‘marriageable’ age in India. Extremely bored of their mundane city lives, they decided to give ‘it’ a try once.

One loved Electronic music; the other was a hardcore Bollywood fan. One never missed an opportunity to shake his booty; the other literally froze on a dance floor. One liked his things littered all over the place; the other was a cleanliness freak. There was absolutely nothing in common, or so they thought.

People say that love always happens…it can never be planned. But I feel ‘you’ can make it happen! For those of us who have grown up reading Mills & Boons and wonder why can’t it happen to them... this is a story to tell them that it can happen except for the fact that your Prince Charming might not come riding on a white horse but in a dishevelled state after a hard day’s work in office.  Are you ready to accept him then???

This is the story of how I fell in love with the person whom I call my ‘husband’ today- my bestest friend, my ‘agony uncle’, my ‘partner-in-crime’ and my companion for life !!!
