One of my friend asked me.. "Bro ! what's the toughest thing here in India..Do you have any clue about it.?" The question brought a smirky expression on my face and I was ready to answer him..
So my answer was "Yes bro..! I know the answer..There are only two things which are toughest here in India .. first one is getting your desired job(naukri) and the second one is marrying your love (chokri).".. Naukri mein company wale lete hain aur chokri me gharwale , dost, society sab lete hain ..
Let me tell you this with a real life story. The story is about a boy and girl focussing more on the girl. Basically I will make you understand the third problem also which lies here.. (the problem which the girl faces being a girl.)
The boy named Raghav and the girl named Suhani both belonged to the same college. Raghav was from a middle class family who was free minded and independent . Suhani belonged to above average family who was dependent and a bit scared of her family..
"They say that we walk on different paths but one day our path do collide with someone, one day you do cross someone's path , that's the day you fall in love." Same thing happened with them their road crossed each other one day in mechanical lab being the part of same group, they became friends and exchanged their contact.
Suhani was good at study and was among the toppers of the class while Raghav was mediocre at study and was interested more in singing and was the best singer of college. Suhani , as we know girls are caring, cared a lot about Raghav. She used to teach him what was taught in class and always gave lectures to him on his carefree and careless approach towards thing's. Raghav could not resist that care and affection from Suhani (That's the problem with the boys they can not resist the care and attention of girl whom he admires aur wo ladka clean bowled ho gaya).
So, he fell in love with her. And was scared abut the outcome that will she accept or not or does she love him , is he good for her... (All the shits started to come in his mind which actually comes in a one sided lover's mind, not his fault kyuki thoda fattu ho jate hai wo) . He decided to propose her with the best thing he has , i.e. , his singing. It was the college fest night when he sang a song on the stage with lines as .. "Shaam ka Aanchal odh k aayi.. dekho wo raat SUHAANI.. aa likh de hum dono mil ke apni yeh prem kahani.. " with a line saying " I love you Suhani at the end ".
There was the girl standing in crowd with her eyes full of tears and did not expected the one who she loves proposing her that too in front of everyone.. This is how their story started .
(A sweet one I guess, well love stories are sweet.) .
They both were too much serious on each other with all kinds of future plans staring from the day of their wedding to the name of their babies and ending on dieing in each others arm. (Har ek laila majnu ki yahi kahani hai .. but inki thodi si alag thi. ) . They do talked about their career. They both were full of energy and wanted to do something big for themselves and for each other.
The girl wanted to do mba from i.i.m and the boy wanted to get a job , earn some money and become a singer. They both were living their life full of love and happiness without caring about this world ( logo se anjaan ghar walo se anjaan , befikre wo bas chalte ja re the apni duniya mein..kya pata tha unhe ki kabhi rukna bhi padega ki kabhi bahar aana bhi padega ) .
And then they were about to see the reality. It was final year of college and the college placement started . The girl was placed in a good company being the topper but the boy could not make to that company and he got placed in a company which was not that much good. And in which he could not fulfill his dreams . The boy was broken and sad . Seeing him the girl was sad too.. But this was just the start of the havoc which was about to come.
One day girl was called by her parents and was asked to come urgently . She tried to convince them for not coming as she wanted to be with Raghav in this tough phase , but they did not allow and she had to leave . She left next day for her home hugging him tightly and kissing him on cheeks.
Then started the cruel journey of the girl about which she had no clue. As she went at home , she was asked by her family to wear good clothes and was just said "Tumhe dekhne log aa re hain.. " .. She could not understand what did it mean , so she asked her mom "what is this all about?" ..
Then her mom told her that she is getting 24 this year and that is the age she should get marry , else after this she won't get a good boy and the boy which will come to see is very rich and at very good post.
The girl started crying telling her mom and dad that she is not ready for this marriage and she wants to do mba and also she loves a boy . Her parents were in shock as if she had commited a sin by loving . Her dad said "Beta tumse ye ummeed nahi thi , tumne naak kata dia..kya muh dikhayenge society mein " And I can not support you on this , and if I will let you do mba then how I will be able to meet the expenses of your marriage, neither I can allow you to take loan nor I can support you on a boy who is less successful than you. " Either you choose us or him along with "yaad rakhna use chuna to humare lie tum and tumhare liye hum marr gaye" (The best emotional blackmail one can do) .
As college ended she could not do anything except pretending in front of Raghav that she is not interested in him anymore and she cheated him so that he can move on . Raghav could not understand all this , he tried visited her home ,tried meeting hes family but all gone in vain . He was hurt , broken badly , as he lost the love of his life along with that lost respect and expectation of his family on him. He lost alot but the girl lost all.
She got married next year to a boy whom she just knew for one month , she tried to convince her family for her love and career but she could not as she could not fight them. She became helpless , seeing all the expenses in her marriage she was just shouting from inside ( kaash dad in paiso se mba karwa dete , kaash Raghav ko yahan la dete , kaash aisa kuch na hota , kaash sab pehle jaisa hota.. ) but that's the thing with "kaash " ki wo kabhi nahi hota.
That's where the story ends my friend . They both lost each other , just in the name of society and pride , they lost all. The boy could not move on and the girl could not fight her family. They both are living but dead from inside with just one thing in mind "kaash aisa na hota.. !!"
PS- It's just a story, though it resembles the reality but it's not everyone's reality . If you are going through such kind of phase just face it properly with all the guts and strength . If you want to do something big ,achieve something great , don't give up on the namesake of marriage and "naak kat jaegi " or any such kind of things . Because one day if you are able to prove yourself , your parents will be happy for you and the statement will be changed into "naak unchi kar di beta.." and you will get your love in your life , once you are able to prove yourself.. :)
Stay happy,
Stay cool
Live your life freely
Be a rebel.
Have a nice day..
