‘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 !!!

Enjoyed that. A definite click on that red heart from me. What saddens me is that I am clicking on those stories that are most popular. Must make the effort to read some of the others.
Thank you for the encouragement Suneet & KayEm
Simply Superb!
Grace and peace to you!
All The Best!

I always knew it and said it a thousand times over, i said it when u did that stupid course, i said it when u were wasting yourself in that buying house,"Shilpi, you are born to write" and today I can proudly say.. dammit I am always right!!! :) proud of you babes. I have always been a fan!
Good one Shilpi :)
Good Luck!!
intriguing....looking fwd for this one
Thank you Lucky,Rinzu,Vasudha,Darshini and Proton. Thank you for the support !!
So very true! Real life stories do exist and they might not be the way leads are portrayed in movies! But that's what makes it so very human! Good luck for the contest!

The British are back!
Hi Shilpi,
Yes, you've said it rightly. Everybody has this fantasized image of love in their minds. All of them are dazzled by the love which is portrayed on screen during movies or sitcoms. Nobody realizes that real life can be vastly different from reel life.
It would be interesting to read about your own true love story. Hope it gets published. :)
My vote goes to you, wish you luck :):):)
P.S. Do check out & vote for my entry for Get Published.
