No, I wasn’t in love. The day you chose was the killer move. Unprepared that all the gifts and chocolates and movie date was set up to end our little secret soiree by you.

I was your best friend, Rahul, but you couldn't see me beyond that, and fell for uber cool Tina. Why was I not enough as I was?

The most painful realization for me was not that these societal norms existed, but that our love, in its most crucial moments, bowed to them.

The state "in love" gives us the illusion that we have an intimate relationship. We feel that we belong to each other and can conquer all problems.

Thanks to Bollywood, I was obsessed with the romance portrayed in movies. I thought our story would be one helluva ‘hit’ romantic saga.
