Today I felt like writing something from my college days. We were in the first year of our college and friendship just started to develop. It was in this environment where my friend Chandan misunderstood himself as Shahrukh Khan.

He became very serious about a girl named Varsha lala. Problem started from the first without speaking even a single word. It was like as if the page of similarity was blank and that of dissimilarity didn’t had a space to write even a single word. The first problem was difference in their physical appearance. Chandan was fat, outspoken and a product of government school and had a very loud voice. The voice was such that even his private matter became public when he discussed it with someone. And he used to ask, “Oye Harvinder! Tujhay kaisay pata chala.” Anyway, Versha was cute, beautiful, had a soft beautiful voice and was very intelligent because of her schooling from a well-known school of Delhi.

Chandan was not having any fault in this whole situation. LOVE IS BLIND.  And Chandan because of his thinking capacity was much blinder then love. So the first way that he thought to get lala attention was to become fit and slimmer. So he took some dare decision to achieve this goal. He started coming to college on his foot then by bus. It should be noticed that difference between his home and college was more then 15 km. Someone noticed him and started to make fun.  So he started to do morning walk and joined gym. But his mother did not know that noble reason; he had for doing all this.   Without knowing about Chandan goal he was giving him was he was giving him earlier.  His diet still consisted of aloo parantas, pizza, burger. So nothing much happened after all his effort. After a month Chandan was sure that bringing change in look is not under his capacity.

So he thought that he would make his English better so that he could at least talk with the girl nicely. Now he started to give more effort on English grammar then software programming which was what he should be doing. Everyday he learned few new words and applied it their where that didn’t fit from any angle. Anyway since we were his friends we were able to understand this in his new language. Because of all this only one thing happened. We listened to those words that we would have never taken the trouble of looking in dictionary.

In the third year it came to his minds that why not impress her with wealth. So instead of Pulser he came on Santro now.  And after the classes were over he took lala with her friends and dropped their home respectively. He thought that one day she will leave her friends and come alone and came alone with him. But he did not know that he is taking her friends with him as protection. Because majnu like chandan could do anything…

In those good times when lala was on the back seat and Chandan was driving the car he came to know that Varsha is far richer then he is and his SANTRO is no match with HONDA CITY. So he shouldn’t think even in his dream that in this way Varsha can become his friend.

So he did in the forth year what Manjnu in this one side love often do. He started ignoring her. He thought that this is his last effort. And in this way he can know the result of all the hard work that he did in three years. But what happened was just the opposite of what he though. For Versha the best day started. There were many to give her attention and do anything to make her friends. She never asked, “Chandan, what happened?” or “Chandan, why you are not talking with me.” And when Candan came to know of the terrible mistake that he has done till then the final year was over and not even a single proof of this love story lasted.
