!!!~~Anya's Friendship Appreciated Thread~~!!!

19-year-old Navya lives in a middle class family in Mumbai. She is born and brought up in a small family with her banker father, housewife mother, bratty younger brother and a quick-tongued grandmother. She has a married and pregnant elder sister. Navya is quite traditional in her ways and lifestyle. She maintains a distance from boys and finds great comfort in her childhood friends Ritz and Appy. This allows her parents to trust her implicitly, unlike her Dadi who keeps questioning her morals and behaviors. Innocent and sweet, she dreams wistfully of a fairytale romance, especially when Ritz falls in love. However, love comes to her in the most unexpected way as she meets Anant.

Anant is a 19-year old college boy who, on the surface, looks like any other urban boy. He has the latest clothes, car, and looks which any girl would fall for. But, deep down he is a traditionalist, a conformist who believes in the old-world values of joint families and arranged marriages. Unlike most of the teenagers of today's times, he reveres his grandfather and seems to have been brought up to respect his family's traditions and to live by the rule book. His life before meeting Navya included following the path chalked out by his family. He did not think, even for a second, that he could fall in love.

Ritika, aka Ritz, is one of Navya's childhood buddies, who lives in the same colony with her. They are quite unlike their fathers, who were separated by their difference in opinion and ambitions. While Navya's father maintained a principled lifestyle, Ritika's father moved ahead for the most extravagant lifestyle. Ritz and Navya, however, are inseparable. Almost a sibling to Navya, this 19-year-old acts as a mentor to her on most occasions. She does not make sly attempts to hide her lifestyle and choices from her family. However, she likes to experiment and has a creative side to her.
