From Jannat To Jahannum

"They're going to break up." I say with a smug grin, trying my best to focus on Sameeksha's frustrated face. Frustration looks so good on her face, really. About time she's paying back for making fun of my past relationships. I don't want to be someone who enjoys someone else's sadness but I love revenge, it's just as tasty as the Samosas I am eating right now.Sitara grins at Mitra. "Fifty for each of us if they break up, I bet that they would.""They're just fighting, Anti-Cupids and I bet that they won't."Mitra scoffs, wiping her cheeks that are stained with ketchup. For a nineteen year old, she eats like a kid. I shake my head, placing my chin on my hands as I watch the lover's quarrel. It's going to be talk of the canteen once they leave. I roll my eyes when Rishi Singh tries his best to convince his girlfriend that she has nothing to fear about. I highly doubt that, if anything Ritika Sri

"And then she was like, 'No, Ayaan, you can't be serious about this! I love you! Please don't reject my heart!' And I felt really bad to reject her but I clearly wasn't interested in her- did I do something wrong?" Ayaan asks me after narrating about this little confession a girl from his class made.I didn't know what to reply because I'd never felt bad about rejecting guys. I reject them straight out with no mercy but then again they know that was my answer. Everyone in my college pretty much knows it. I hate leading on people because one side love hurts, apparently. I don't know how it feels to love- especially one sided but I heard that it hurts more than anything- more than a breakup. And most of the guys who confessed to me are flirts so I don't really regret rejecting them."Send me that girl's picture or Instagram, I'll tell you." I told him, opening Instagram in my phone. He was on Skype call with me and he is pouting like a ki

"Aaradhya, do you want to go out?" I stop packing my bag and look at the owner of the voice in front of me. A scowl replaced the neutral expression on my face as I took in the form of Syed Adnan smiling softly at me. This boy again. Didn't I politely reject him a week or two ago?"I already said you no-"He cuts me off with a grin. "Let's go eat Panipuri at Gokul Chat!"I almost instantly gave in at the mention of my pyaar, Panipuri. Panipuri is not a snack to desi girls, it's an emotion. We could be dying and we'd still eat Panipuri one last time and ask that bhai to make it more spicy. It's just not my case, it's the case of every girl in India. Indian girls may reject you if you offer a five-star hotel but if you say the holy name of Panipuri, she might reconsider rejecting that offer till she is completed with eating for that day. That anyway, isn't a guara

Monday came rolling in and I thanked heavens for letting the weekend vanish into air. I am back into college hours and that means, less Mayur to face. Mitra and I are eating chilli paneer in front of Sitara's new dieting plan to tempt her into giving up."It's not going to work," She gritted her teeth, probably asking the God to cut down today's time in lunch hours. I grin, "Pay back for leaving me alone yesterday!"She scoffs and tries not to look at us as we eat making weird sounds. Sitara loves Paneer, almost as much as she loves Panipuri but she decided to diet to put down some weight even though she's thinner than me. Leave it to Sitara to call me chubby in every language possible.I offer her a bite but then glared at me before stomping her way out of the canteen. I snicker as Mitra tries not to laugh like a hyena. Mitra is one of those people whose laugh is funnier than the

Summer's sun is shining in the morning but left burns by afternoon. And shopping in this weather isn't something I'd do but Mayur's engagement is to be done as soon as possible. Sitara didn't seem to get tired at all while I am sweating like a pig.There's so much yet to buy and my legs are barely holding me straight. I couldn't count the amount of shops we visited in a single day because Atharv wanted everything perfect for Mayur. He seemed more excited than Mayur, who's trying his best to keep up with his best friend and mine.Sitara and Atharv are similar when it came to shopping, they never get tired. On the other hand, Mayur and I aren't the same. We both sit around and let them do the shopping as they want. Mayur isn't as picky as Atharv so he just approved whatever Atharv threw on his face to try.I sat there looking around the shop. It's men's section so there isn't much that's exciting for me. It only it's accesso
