"Hit your head? Clearly!" Arnav replied, as he walked inside and did a quick hi-five with Akash.

Topper of his batch, and now returned as a visiting faculty to tell the students that the world is no fairyland and also how stupid and impractical their ideas are", she said with emphasis, "Oh wait, I got more...He is also the founder and CEO of AR Designs, which is currently struggling to make its name. Was in a serious relationship with a girl of his batch- Sheetal Kapoor, but she called it off... for unknown reasons, so that makes him very much available right now." she spoke in a single breath and frowned, "Now Mr. Raizada, care to explain what you are doing in my house on a lazy Sunday morning?"
