FLASHBACK

1st June 2008, 11 am, Lucknow University

Tapish Gupta, son of MP Tanishq Gupta is a popular figure in Lucknow University. Tapish is tall, has got intense looks, rugged features and always seen with a khaadi kurta. He is intelligent and speaks only when required. He has an attitude to die for. Most of the boys in the college respect him for the helpful person he is and girls adore him. He always respects women and believes that “Besides every successful man, there is a woman”. Tapish is sincere to his family and friends and loves his father the most. He can go any extent to bring glory to his family. The only scion of Gupta Empire, Tapish is a man to look out for!!!

It’s Elections time once again and the whole campus is abuzz with activities like distributing pamphlets, entering classes and asking for votes, talking about women liberation, equal rights, fighting with management for extra facilities in Lucknow University. Tapish and his supporters are making sure not to leave any stones unturned and win this year’s elections. Suddenly, amidst all these activities, Tapish sees someone in the campus infront of the Psychology Dept unaware of the activities going in the college and happily discussing about something with her professor. Curly long hair till her back, draped in churidaar and kurta with a chunri covering her head, kajal in her big round eyes. While talking to the professor, suddenly, her chunri falls and Tapish could see her. Tapish is speechless to see the beauty in her simplicity. She turns back and straight heads to the way where Tapish is standing with his supporters. Suddenly, Tapish stops her..

Tapish: Are you new to the college??
Trishna: Yes, I have joined just today
Tapish: Tapish Gupta, 2rd year, B.A (Literature) standing for elections. Remember the woman using a charkha, that’s the symbol of my party. Vote me!!
Trishna: And, why do I vote you? I don’t even know you…
Tapish: Tapish Gupta, 2rd year, B.A (Literature) standing for elections. If you want to ask anything else, you can…By the way, what’s your name??
Trishna: Trishna Shah from Kolkata, 1st year, B.A (Psychology). She tries to leave….
Tapish’s Supporters: Sir is talking to you and you trying to leave. Don’t try to act smart.
Tapish: Shouting on his supporters, Shut up!! Don’t you know how to talk to a woman? Our party’s symbol itself is a woman and you people have still not learnt to respect them. What’s the point of talking about women liberation when we ourselves don’t know how to conduct with women?
Trishna: I have to collect my Identity Card sharp at 11:30 am. And, I am very particular about time. And, nice to meet you, Tapish and thanks, will remember you…
Trishna leaves and there is a slight smile on Tapish’s face. And Tapish seeing Trishna leaving says…

“Woh khubsurati hi kya jis mein adaa na ho, woh khubsurati hi kya, jis mein sharmindagi na ho
Ek nazar dekh liya hai usse, aye khuda, bas kisi aur ko dekhne ki ab tamanna na ho”

Trishna Shah, a middle class girl from Kolkata, is chirpy, bubbly and happy go lucky one. That doesn’t take away the seriousness from her. She is responsible and believes in sharing her best with few people. She is not an open book for everyone to read. Yet, she has this unquenchable thirst to be with the people who can make her happy. Trishna’s journey in Lucknow University is going to make her life take a U turn. She is unaware of the events to come that will change her life forever or may be END her life forever!!!!
