Last evening, the three friends met again. This has been a regular habit of theirs since they graduated. Earlier it used to be strict Sunday evening meets. But now Sunday’s are defined in a different way. It is a special day saved for family and girlfriends.
What was so special about last evening? Well one of them has mistakenly fallen in love and is expecting a marriage any moment. The other one is still looking hard for a prospective bride after having browsed and grilled fifty odd wife materials. The third one always makes it a point to keep the attention nailed on him. How does he manage to do so? In his mind are stacked stories of all genres. His tireless conversations on love, life, profession, marriage, identity crisis, sex and humour helps him grab the limelight. But, what was so special about last evening?
Last evening was a blend of confusion and chaos. One of the friends who is expecting marriage any moment failed to display even an inch of excitement. The third one who happens to be the storyteller questioned his intentions and inquired about the lack of excitement. The truth was to be told or else the confusion would have persisted. The conversations between the three were a rerun of episodes, which had taken place in their life and had led to heartbreaks. It is difficult for a person who has never been in love to fall in love. Now that one of them has got him bit by the love bug, it is difficult for him to withstand the sting. His love is not unconditional but prone to conditions. His girlfriend has laid a series of conditions and he has to either accept them or reject them. To begin with their families would soon be at loggerheads over the issue of caste. If the guy belongs to a specific caste, the gal belongs to some other caste. Whose caste is superior and whose isn’t is still not clear? And they both have decided that both the sides have to be amicably convinced for their conjugal union. Even if a single member differs the conjugal union would be put on hold.
The wife browser inquired about the motive of such a decision with the guy in love. He began spilling the beans. Love is not that easy. Its tough, especially when you belong to a family where love marriages are a complete no no. He is not against anybody but he is upset with the familial pattern of marriages. He is complaining against the practise of being questioned about decisions made as an adult. His rebellion is against the thinking of his father who chooses to discuss matters with relatives rather than discuss with him. So is it a threat to his love story, which has just begun? Or the beginning of a change in a titanic sized close-knit family. All said and done, the guy in love looked upon his other two friends for a solution. The storyteller inspired him to speak up while the wife browser motivated him to face his father. The guy in love says he is ready to go against the wishes of millions but is still confused about the after effects. In the trio, the storyteller is somebody who is experienced as well as inexperienced. His life is amalgamated with marriage, love, liking, hatred, jealousy, ego and an entire gamut of unexplainable problems. Though he has never succeeded in love he has not given up the hope to do it again and again. The wife browser is till expecting his Mrs. Right to walk into his life. The guy in love is expecting a quick solution to his problem. And the storyteller is still looking for one big thing. The only problem with the three is they are saturated in work. They have no time for love but still looking for it. Even though they make fun of each other, what they need is love. The problem faced by the guy in love is just the tip of the iceberg. There are lots to happen now, tomorrow or in the unpredictable future.
