Hurry, Before the offer ends… a painful love story!


Disclaimer: This post is a work of fiction and any resemblance with living (girls) or dead (me) is purely coincidental. 

Once upon a time in the history of torturous high school board days blossom a love story with genuine fragrance of pure jasmine. Those were the tough days of pre board analysis when the school authority kept no stone upturn to bully the callow unadulterated growing minds. Repetitive test paper submission remainders were met with deaf ears. Principal piqued with the Raj successive performance called him one day in her office. For an hour she opened up the front with full vigor against the Raj only to be stopped by a melodious heavenly girly voice. 

Raj looked back to see his savior and was dazzled up by the beauty of Smriti. She was a year junior to him yet was the captain of one of the school four houses including his. Something strange happened that day; Raj spoke with none of his friends and preferred to be left alone. Everyone thought it was the effect of principal gospel but none knew that Raj was in love for the first time in his life.

Now his favorite recess sport was to hang in and around Smriti and admire her beauty for hours. He loved the way the gentle summer breeze drove her tingling hairs. Such news can’t be hidden for long and gradually every other student not only in his but also in her class came to know about Raj new found love, including Smriti. But never for once he dared to propose the girl of his dream for the sheer reason of not been able to sustain the pain of refusal. 

Even, Smriti liked Raj and admired his looks but waited for him to first express his divine feelings. Slowly and slowly the clock ticked and the time passed. Raj school years came to an end with his 12th board exam. It was the last day of his school; juniors gave a thrilling farewell party to the seniors.

Raj penned a poem, Your Poor Nerd, expressing his love, gathered courage, drank a cola and went straight towards Smriti with a rose in his hands and admiration in his soul. But all his dreams were shattered when he saw Smriti accepting a rose from his classmate. School ended soon and never ever after Raj tried to meet her.

  14. Hey! It’s great that you talk about eco-issues and the environment! Good to know that there’s someone out there who still cares about the Earth :) We have started an initiative called the earthian, meant to teach school and college students about the above concepts at a young level. It will be great if we get your support/guidance. Here is the link to our site: http://p1n.in/erthn and Fb page: http://p1n.in/ertfb

  15. ...very simple it may seem yet very effective when read... i believe you managed to pull the individuality of the characters here: Smriti and Raj... especially Raj who suffered from lack of confidence and courage to express himself to the girl of his life... definitely a woman like Smriti would not want a man who has low self-esteem... this story proves the saying: "No guts, no Glory!".. thanks for the read. I enjoyed it though i would prefer to have it in much longer version to emphasize more the characters and the scenes and the rest other elements that might be in significance...(:

    Good day!:)

  29. Firstly, a great story and a nice catchy way of putting it.
    Now, though I agree that Raj is at fault for not having the guts for a long time, I believe it happened for the good that they did not end up together... a girl who can't wait and allow the other person to get enough time to express his love, does not really love him....

    Having said that, in a real situation things are different than the ideal i just pointed out...

    Loved reading this... and will end like everyone here : Poor Raj! :p
