This thought just crossed my mind- What if Manik and Nandini's roles are reversed. I mean, what if Nandini has had a troubled childhood and Manik was a sweet guy.. I would try to show all the other characters in different shades too along with them. Just my imagination.. Here it goes.. Comments would be welcome and appreciated
Chapter 1-
Manik is sitting near his computer surfing for some new tunes for his guitar and trying them out.. Just then, he is interrupted by his Mom, Nyonika
Nyonika: Manik! Come down and have breakfast
Manik: Coming Mom
He flights down the stairs, kisses his mom on the cheek and starts having his breakfast
Nyonika: how was college yesterday Manik?
Manik: It was good Mom, except...
Nyonika: Except???
Manik: There is this group in our college, who are no less than monsters to everybody around them. Well, I had an argument with one of them yesterday.
Nyonika: Achha?? What happened?
Manik: I was just going to the music library after class to get some musical notes to study, when I accidently collided with this supposedly lead singer of the group. Her name is Nandini. I said sorry to her, but I don't know what she thinks about herself, some Miss India or something, although she wears these rugged clothes all the time, and she started shouting at me on the top of her voice, that too in the corridor. I tried explaining to her that it was a by-mistake thing, but she kept on insulting me. When I tried answering her back, this another supposedly-cool-guy Dhruv came to her rescue and started defending her. Then he too shouted at me and then they left. I felt so humiliated.
Nyonika: Ohh son! I understand what u must have felt. Can't u say something about it to the principal?
Manik: Her chacha is the owner of the academy. Full on kanjus, but still.. That is why these people think like they rule the world.
Nyonika: Where was Cabir all this time?
Manik: Where else? With his spectacles on, buried inside books.
Nyonika: Oh honey! Don't worry about it. Just be careful from on. By the way, just out of curiosity, who else belongs to this gang?
Manik: Well, there is a guy called Shahid, who plays guitar.. then, Mukti who usually keeps quiet. I really don't have an idea as to how she mingles with this group. Then, there is Harshad, who is a guitarist and keeps on making fun of everybody around and last but not the least, Alya. She plays keyboard. She is one person who definitely requires a change in her wardrobe. Gosh! I am just lucky to have friends like Navya and Cabir, who just think like I do. By the way, you know what happened yesterday with Navya?
Nyonika: What?
Manik: Some tall, fair and handsome guy was trying to hit on Navya. She got so pissed off that she held his collar, made him understand in her own language and then pushed him so hard, that he fell off. Cabir was laughing so hard and his spectacles fell off. I had to control him. Poor guy, how insulted he must have felt! God! Navya. She is one hard nut. Believe me Mom, she is never gonna fall heads over heels for any guy. If it happens, that would be a miracle.
