Oh my darling Rosie! Thank you, thank you so much for writing this :) And I am so glad I asked you to write this, I don't think anybody else could pen it (type it?) this beautifully. The prime numbers coming up for constant reassurance, I could practically see Khushi's dazzling smile and Arnav's sincere eyes, the confident with numbers but insecure at heart Khushi. Just brilliant!

What remains constant are facts - be it numbers, or true love (Says Willy Uncle, when he writes "Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds') Other things come and go - snide remarks, age, beauty.

I love that Arnav was not patronizing. Instead he is honest, sincere. (And has an eye for beauty, bountiful beauty :D) He didn't love her despite all that flab, he loves her and all that is her. Nothing dramatic, no last minute realizations, thank you. The love between them was organic, like it was the most natural thing to happen. Beautiful, I loved it!

Oh, and now that we are at it - this is a brilliant take on how women all over the world are too hard on themselves when it comes to appearance and self image. Do take time out and watch it. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/business/media/dove-ad-on-womens-self-image-creates-an-online-sensation.html?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.z_sma=BU_AAw_20130422&_r=1&

*Sighs dreamily* Aww, that was so, so, so sweet & very relatable as well!

Hah, whether a person is exquisitely good-looking or like the girl/boy next door, certain people will always have something negative to say.. So why really bother about these judgmental dumbos, let tongues wag.. I'm glad that Arnav looked beyond superficial appearances and loved Khushi as she was..

Enjoyed the tale, Semanti! :D

I could totally relate to this story. You talk about fat days, I talk about fat years and guess what, my husband is a tamil speaking barun sobti. Of course I do deserve a hot man, so what if I am not a sanaya irani. And we are totally in love. So expelanti becomes official, don't I deserve a treat?

OMG, Tamil speaking Barun Sobti!!! Forgive me for butting in but does your husband have an unattached brother??? :P

Khushi and the prime numbers reminded me of my sister. She is a masters in applied maths and works for NASA. I can so relate to the revising of prime numbers...

Kehtey hain joray asmaanoon pay bantey hain... the best part of this story is that it is kind of real. I have seen so many such couples who are together for what they are deep down and not for looks.

Arnav is just so HIM. Khushi being the perfect nerd and all i just loved it

Bas Semanti ji.

Now I am officially in lau with you.

(Don't get freaked out :P)

This was..so imperfectly perfect.

And your note?

*sob*

Few people just DON'T get it. So many of us cannot be like Cinderellas and Sleeping beauties ..and only THEN deserve a prince charming/love/hot man. We can be what we are and even then get one. Like Arnav.

I loved this story. The thing I loved about it was how it was SO real.

I loved this Khushi.

And I loved this Arnav.

And I loved how Arnav accepted her for what and who she is. I wish men were 'man' enough to do that all the time.

You know, this story made be believe that sometimes you don't need to be perfect to get your love..and thank you for that.

Maybe I can hope too? ;)

Semanti - you nailed it once again to a T - loved that we have a 'real life' khushi and I am always a big big fan of a subtle and understanding Arnav. thanks for making me believe in fairy tales romance once again and another big round of applause for you 👏👏👏👏 and big kudos to your imagination for the small scene you chose to come out with a story like this. Just incredible!
