With the advent of Messengers, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut….”Friendship” has taken a new face alltogether!! While some are still confused, whether it’s friendship, I would call it as “Virtual Companionship” to be on the safer side!! So, while Hawan is still confused whether Aahuti is his friend, Aahuti seems damn sure that nothing seems promising than naming “Companionship” as “Friendship”…Why??
1. What’s the use of going to the other town to meet Hawan or need of Hawan visiting her when everything can be shared through messengers??
2. Chatting through messengers really don’t set any expectations..It’s a burden free friendship…
3. As they say, the more you stay close, the more you get to know each other and the more you start hating each other after some point of time..so, better be STRANGERS yet be good Companions..err..FRIENDS!!! FAMILIARTY breeds CONTEMPT…
While Hawan still refuses to believe that Virtual Companions can ever be called as BEST FRIENDS even though they are virtually together everyday but then Aahuti believes that TRUST can be built..though it might not be real..but virtual trust per se…
But then, you see, life itself is so disconnected!! It’s not possible evertime to be in the city of your friends and spend some good time…so, the best way to remain connected is to get hooked on to Messengers, FB, Orkut, Twitter etc….That’s probably the reason God created Human Beings and Human Beings created Social Networking Sites and Social Networking Sites created “Virtual Companionship”… Gone are the days, when there was an excitement of visiting to the other city, sit with your friends and have a booze or visit a discotheque to shake a leg!! Gone are the days, when friends would get a company transfer to the other city just because some of his very good friends are there in that city….And, if some foolish like Hawan attempted to do that, they were bitten and that too again and again!!!
Hawan tried a lot of times to pursue Aahuti to visit his city or even hinted at him visiting Aahuti’s city..she somehow resisted it!! Aahuti and Hawan know each other for more than 1 year…same company…office communicator…and on holidays, GTALK came to their rescue…and if nothing worked, Aahuti slowly started calling Hawan on his mobile and that too happened after 6-7 months of knowing each other!!!
Is this “Virtual Companionship” leading somewhere or going to vanish after sometime?? Aahuti is sure of an onsite soon and Hawan is looking for a change in job…..How often you all have taken the pain of breaking the barriers of Chats, FB, Orkut and packed your bags to the other city to meet the person you want to be with?? What will be the motivating factor for you to just say “NO” once to all the social networking you have been doing all this while and actually visit the person..Will ever Hawan and Aahuti meet?? This seems a BIG question indeed…a question bothering Hawan for sure but not Aahuti….
Have your presence for real on my blog to know about Virtual Companions, Hawan and Aahuti coz there is a HAWAN and AAHUTI in each one of us!!!

I am BACK!!!
After near about 4 years, Saaransh has come to India. He decides to visit his old home which he left after his separation with Pari. He asks his driver to take him to their old home in Meerut. It’s too hot in Delhi and again going for 3-4 hours drive to Meerut would be tiring but Saaransh just wants to see his home once before he goes back to US.
Everything is still the same, the dusty roads, traffic and unruly punk drivers ruling Delhi roads. While driving, he asks his driver to play some ghazals….
“Kiyaa hai pyar jise humne dillagi ki tarah
woh aashiyana bhi mila humse ajnabee ki tarah”….
A soothing music, and an air-conditioned ambience, Saaransh closes his eyes for sometime. Suddenly, driver puts a break and Saaransh wakes up. He can see his old home infront of his eyes, with gates and doors open. Perhaps, in the absence of anyone, burglers would have tried to enter and loot the house…but there was nothing in that house except for some unfazed memories….
“It’s Saaransh’s and Pari’s HEAVEN” still hangs on the door and it’s strange not even a single layer of dust is there on the nameboard. But, still he takes out his hanky, the same old hanky which Pari gifted him few years back and wipes on the nameboard to remove even if there is no dust. Saaransh always used to scold Pari for gifting him HANKIES because he believed that one should never gift hankies to his/hear dear ones since it brings a strain in the relationship and perhaps, when they separated, his belief became stronger…
He enters the room to see everything in order, covered with white sheets…The clock is still working and showing the date as 13th June.. He is surprised to see how come the clock can work even after 4 years when no one has entered the house.
Suddenly, someone from back comes and clings to his legs calling “Papa”!!! He is shocked to see a small boy clinging him as if he knows him. He takes the child in his arms and asks his name. The boy just kisses Saaransh on his cheeks and says he is “Sparsh“. There is a certain belongingness while holding him in his arms, even before Saaransh could react, he sees someone infront of him wearing a blue saree, standing straight and wishes him “HAPPY MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY“…..
Angels are always beautiful and Pari is no expection….With a smile on her face, she says to Saaransh that SPARSH is his son… There’s already tears in Saaransh’s eyes. 4 years, and he is standing infront of Pari and his son…Someone whom he loved more than himself and perhaps still loves…probably, that’s the reason he never re-married anyone else in these 4 years…
There is a complete silence in the room…and as they say, sometimes “SILENCE is GOLDEN“…
Outside it begins to rain….Yes, monsoons have arrived….and this monsoon is certainly going to bring smiles on some faces…

The Eyes that YEARN (Nayan Tarse)-Story-Part 2
3rd June 2008, 10 am, Lucknow University
As soon as Trishna enters the University, she can see a big crowd all over cheering and celebrating with placards having Tapish’s party symbol and Tapish’s name. She thinks to meet Tapish and wish him success. She heads towards the Literature Dept. Her eyes start searching Tapish but she can’t find him. She goes from one department to another but fails. With a disappointed face, she finally goes to her Psychology Dept. and enters the classroom and shocked to see Tapish sitting alone on the bench. As soon as Tapish sees her, there is a smile on his face and the same is with Trishna.
Trishna: You sitting here and I am searching you all over to congratulate you.
Tapish: You searching all over and I am waiting in your department to share my success with you. I OWE my success to you.
Trishna: Me?? (in a confused voice).
Tapish: I believe “Besides every successful man, there is a woman” and my lady luck is besides me. Yes, I won by a margin of 1 vote. I have a strong belief that it’s your vote which has made a difference.
Trishna: If that’s the case, I am happy
Tapish: Don’t you think we should celebrate??
Trishna: Yes, you can celebrate with your supporters…
Tapish: And, don’t you support me??
Trishna: I hardly know you. What’s so hurry?? She smiles, turns back, bids good bye and leaves finally…
3rd June 2008, 2pm, Psychology Dept., Lucknow University
Psychology professor asks all the students to meet anyone of their unknown classmates, talk/ question them for half an hour and prepare a Case Study on “How to read a human mind?”. This is a part of their Practicals. As soon as the students get ready to meet their “Unknown Classmate”, suddenly someone pats Trishna at her back saying “Shall we start Madam?” and as soon as Trishna turns her back, it’s TAPISH for her.
Tapish: Half an hour, ask me whatever you want. And, no more “I don’t know you” excuse in the future.
Trishna: Ohh, so, how did you manage to convince our Psychology professor?
Tapish: Your professor respects me a lot.
Trishna: And, what about you?
Tapish: Respect doesn’t come for everyone.
Trishna: He is not any Tom, Dick and Harry. He is our professor…
Tapish: Why are we discussing about your professor?? Remember, you have 20mins more to know me.
Suddenly, another boy comes and says, “Excuse me, are you Trishna??”
Trishna: Yes
Ameet: Hello, I am Ameet. The Professor has asked me to meet you for the Case Study.
Tapish: (with a high voice) Mit or whatever your name is, I am with her now. And, I am the subject of study.
Ameet: But…
Tapish: Look Ameet, you know who I am, right?? Leave the room or else you might have to face the consequences.
Trishna: Wait a min Tapish, you need not have to talk to him like that. I think there is some confusion and we need to sort it out.
Ameet: Trishna, I have less time with me. I think we should start as I have to attend a lecture within 15 mins.
Tapish: (Holding the collar of Ameet) You seem to be in too much of hurry.
Trishna: (in an angry voice) what are you doing Tapish? Leave him…
Suddenly, the professor comes and says “Leave Ameet”. Tapish looks back….
Professor: Principal immediately wants to meet you. So, I have asked Ameet to be with Trishna for the Case study.
Tapish: OK and he tries leaving…
Trishna: Atleast say SORRY to him, the least you can do is apologize to him.
Tapish: I am not at fault. And, he leaves…
Trishna is aghast to see Tapish’s behaviour. Days pass and Tapish makes all effort to befriend Trishna. Everytime they meet, Tapish impresses Trishna but some or the other incident happens because of which Trishna sees the other side of Tapish which leaves her in a confused state of mind. Trishna decides to remain calm and act normal with Tapish.
2nd August 2008, 10 am, Lucknow University
Monsoon starts and it’s raining cats and dogs. It’s mesmerizing to see greenery all over, children playing on streets in the rains, students hiding near the Chai shops and sipping hot tea with pakodas enjoying rains. Trishna enters the college with wet hair and an umbrella in her hand. Tapish sitting in a chai shop with his friends notices Trishna and mesmerized by her beauty. Wet hair, chunri covering her head, pink lips, Trishna avoiding the water clogged holes on the roads and slowly walking towards the college. Tapish decides to propose Trishna and he is confident that Trishna can’t say “No” to him.
2nd August 2008, 3 pm, Lucknow University
Trishna inside the Library studying and Tapish enters.
Tapish: Come along with me.
Trishna: Where??
Tapish: I will show you something outside.
Trishna: But, it’s raining outside, ok, let me take my umbrella….
Tapish: Leave the umbrella..
Tapish hold Trishna’s hand and close her eyes with his other hand.
It’s raining and they are completely drenched. Tapish takes away his hand, and Trishna opens her eyes…It’s a garden of roses, roses here, roses there, RED roses everywhere. It’s raining and the beauty of roses is there to see. But, Tapish is in awe of the beauty of Trishna, in RED salwar, she is nothing less than a rose today.
Trishna: Wow, it’s beautiful.
Tapish: Remember, today is FRIENDSHIP Day. So, I though to give you a surprise.
Trishna: Tapish, I love roses and this place is so beautiful. Saying this, she hugs him.
Tapish: Trishna, I want to say you something today….
Trishna: What??
Tapish plucking a rose from a plant and suddenly his mobile rings….
Tapish: Hello
The voice at the other end: Your father has expired, he got a severe heart attack, come home soon!!!
Tapish suddenly breaks down into tears. The day would have been the most beautiful day of his life had he proposed Trishna. Why this had to happen and that too he lost someone so precious, his father, the only person he respects in his life. Trishna tries to console Tapish, Tapish leaves saying “Didn’t knew the RED will change my life but I promise you this RED will have to weave another tale and it will come soon…”
Tapish starts his jeep, and leaves the University. While leaving he crosses a bike and suddenly splashes mud on the biker. The biker stops and shouts at Tapish. But, Tapish unaware of the incident leaves college. The biker takes out his helmet.
Enters, TUHIN MALKANI
Tuhin: Kya bhagwaan?? First day in college and my jacket is spoilt. Is saale ko toh main chhodoonga nahin (I will not leave this Idiot)
Tuhin to himself: No Tuhin, you should not be angry. Remember, you are a COOL guy!! Be cool with everyone and even your name means the same.
Saying this, he starts his bike and proceeds towards the college, but, unaware of a water clogged hole, he splashes mud into someone…He stops his bike, takes out his helmet and turns back. and sees Trishna trying to clean her churidaar…
Tuhin: Mar gaya!! (I AM DEAD)

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!!!!
The whole world is celebrating and waiting to welcome the New Year with loud music, dance, parties etc. But, there is another world about to end in room no. 301.

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!!!!
