Shudh Desi Romance.

So did I mention that I have this super annoyingly amazing boyfriend? Even if I didn't, I'm pretty sure you've figured it out by the last few romantic posts. Even if you didn't, I have a boyfriend and he's adorable and he loves me and he doesn't cheat on me and WE COMPLETED A YEAR TODAY! 

So saalgirah mubarak to me and blah blah blah. YAY!

Now most of our relationship, Humor has kept us close. So I'm going to give you an idea of how it feels to be a girlfriend for an entire year. 

So you know the feeling when you know that ghar pe rajma chawal bane hai and you dream about it all day in school and then you come home, running from your van just to have rajma chawal, and then you realize, there's no rajma chawal. That kind of pain?

That's exactly how I feel when I check my phone in the morning and there's no text from him.  

OKAY! ALL THE TIME. LIKE, ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Every time we've hung out or made out or did any sort of thing that we've done together, be it a one hour visit or a seven hour visit, EVERY time it's time for you to go, I GET A FEELING. 

Like, you know that feeling when you go really far from home to eat your favorite meal like Def.Col ka chicken shawarma, and then you have it and then you sit in your car with a satisfied stomach but five minutes later, YOU WANT MORE!? 

That's how it feels when you have to go. Like, it's that SAD. 

Now, you might think I'm criticizing you, but I'm not. It's all Google's fault. It gave me all the negative images. 

So YEAH! If I wanted you to text me back an hour later, I WOULDN'T HAVE SENT A TEXT. I WOULD HAVE SENT AN EMAIL OR A FUCKING LETTER. 

It's like the sunburn from a fun day outdoor. It just keeps on itching. YOUR TEXTS ARE MY ICE. 

Like, I need you to make me feel better and I hate when you're not there. I text you and then there's this single tick on whatsapp which annoys the fuck out of me because, why do you have instant messaging applications in your phone when you can't instantly reply? 

Now, It's like I'm giving away a huge secret weapon which I'm sure is going to cost me in the near future but because it's you, Booo, I'm willing to take that risk. 

So you know when you're with me and you start talking about science, basically physics or anything that's not us or me or food, I do this. It's very much possible that the cleavage you can suddenly see right after you start talking, is intentional because let's face the truth, SCIENCE BORES ME. 

So long story short, my apologies for not listening and I forgive you for keep talking. :*

Do you even remember how many times have we said this to each other? "I think we need to reconsider this relationship" and out of utmost sincerity but then, AGAIN! 

We always fall back together. Although, for people who've been in a relationship for one whole year, one breakup, that too one that lasted an hour seems to be less. But meh, we're cute and we're cuter when we're together so I totally understand why did this happen. Like, totes. 

Now if I write down about the quality of good night texts that Utkarsh Chaturvedi provides. I think everybody who reads this, and my keyboard is going to die out of shame. But the fact that I'm still wiling to write about them clearly specifies that I HAVE NO SHAME when it comes to you. NOPE, I DON'T. I mean, we saw Besharam together, if there's two people who have zero shame, it's us and by the way, you know how to knock me off my feet and you know how to keep me on my toes. 

You know, given the kind of conversations we have at night, ^ might be the most true statement I've ever made. *wink, wink*

Now that happens after you ask me if you can sleep and I keep rocks on my heart, {this sounds way better in HINDI.} and I let you go to sleep. It's like, I hear this voice, *beep* and then BOOO gets disconnected and then I look right and then I look left and then I sigh and wonder, "Fuck."

Then, after two minutes on snapchat, five minutes of reading boring stories on facebook, I realize that without you, it's all bullshit. Boring fucking bullshit. So boring, that it makes me want to sleep. 

EVERY TIME I SEE YOU WALKING TOWARDS ME. Holy fuck! 

You know when you call me and you say "Turn around", I can hear electric guitar playing with the playback song, "TERA DHYAAN KIDHAR HAI, TERA HERO IDHAR HAI. ARREY PALAT!" 

{Was that too much bollywood? Because I can replace it with cheesy songs from Taylor Swift like "I SEE SPARKS FLY WHENEVER BLA BLA BLA."}

IF YOU CHEAT ON ME. {Which I'm pretty sure you won't. I mean, look at me.}

I promise you in the presence of the old gods and the new and the god of light, that I WILL FUCKING COOK YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND FOR DINNER. And I will make sure you eat it.

{In future, in case that happens, Can I go to jail for that?}

Well, that has only happened once or twice so nah. Not going to elaborate.

That happens with you more than it happens with me. You know why? Because mere alaawa tera hai hi kaun?

I LOVE SAYING THAT! :P

Even if that's not true, I do this only out of curiosity to know who is more important than spending time with me. 

TODAYYY! 

There's something with ties and belts that gets me to wink and whistle, ALL THE TIME. {That came out wrong, didn't it?}

I know I'm rude when I'm mad and I know I suck most of the time because I'm a bummer more often than not. I'm late, lazy and shit. I can't find anything else that starts with L so my figure of speech implementation was unsuccesfull. 

Anyway, point is. Like most girlfriends, I don't wear short dresses for you, {Although, I always want to look good for you} I don't netflix with you and I'm never happy. I critcize way more than I should and I always make you feel like you're not enough. 

But that's not true. Not even a little bit. Not even at all. 

I dig your smile and you're always going to be way MORE than I bargained for, for the simple reason that I hopelessly, relentlessly and unconditionally love you. 

So much that I'd watch Besharam with you AGAIN. {Maybe, that's the alcohol talking right now} and I'd do every cliched move in the book only to make you realize what a blessing it is to have a partner like you in my life. 

I know what you are probably thinking right now, 

Literally, silly hai meri love life. 

#ShudhDesiRomance. 

Chauhan Sahab❤

Sometimes, you don't know how to start.

It's like you're in this constant dilemma.

Should I talk about how “Once upon a time..” or should I just get to the “Happily ever after.”

It's a tough decision and a constant dilemma.

Very similar to what I’m going through right now. Sheer displeasure of my failure at expressing my love towards a constant source of happiness in my life.

Arushee Chauhan.

If I was asked to write summarize this beauty, I would probably say..

THE PROTAGONIST

Arushee, a student of class 12, met Lakshita in class 4th. Being in the same school and the same class and sharing the same love for their dearest math teacher, “Shikha”, they became the best of friends.

Soon enough, they would borrow copies for homework and call each other to ask what they missed in school.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Talking in terms of appearance, Arushee was short, simple and beautiful. Rarely chivalrous in nature, she could usually be found confused and in chaos, usually caused by others.

Arushee had extensively long hair until her class 12th farewell, when she got an impulsive haircut. Lakshita often makes fun of her height but Arushee is indifferent to everything people say, simply because she doesn't let trivial things bother her.

BEST FRIEND

Up until a year ago, Arushee had a perfect best friend, Swati Mishra.

They would be seen together during every period in school. There was no period, no minute, no teacher that could come between the two of them and their incessant gossip.

So what exactly happened a year ago?

I’d be lying if I say I had nothing to do with it. Even without the wrong intention, I caused some serious problems and misunderstandings between the posse of two and being as honest as honesty does, I’d like to say that at the time, it seemed insignificant, but in retrospect, nothing has ever affected Arushee more than losing Swati did.

Before you ask how I sleep at night, let me continue..

Swati was at fault too. She blamed me for coming between them when her friends acted as barriers too, more than once.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS

Arushee’s relationships, to say the least have been complicated in the past. Let's just say that one area where she lacks the ability to make sane decisions is love.

But then, when you come to think of it, when it comes to love, the line between insanity and sanity, tends to disseminate.

The last relationship Arushee was in, left her heart broken and shattered. Like bottles bits on stones, she was broken.

Although, the relationship was beautiful.

They shared pizza and over pizza, they shared their days and told each other every insignificant thing that seemed so significant back then. They spent hours together and still, when it came to leaving, the time felt so less.

Unfortunately, cupid forgot to plant the arrow behind the guy's behind and thus, came a month of sobbing and drowning inside her own tears.

That time, I don't remember a time, Arushee didn't miss him and didn't try to reach out. I was pissed at that asshole, I still am and always will be but as they say, everything happens for a reason.a

Arushee then, met this great guy who's not her boyfriend or her soul mate. They're best friends and they hang out whenever they can and people might be jealous of this, but I think that this guy is the best decision Arushee’s ever made. He keeps her happy, and that's all I want. As of now, Arushee’s very much single and hopefully that's going to continue until after boards.

Moving on to other things..

    FAMILY

Arushee lives with her mom, dad and her cute, younger brother, Dhruv. Dhruv might be like 100* more impulsive than Arushee is because he once threw an iPhone6 in the air which didn't even belong to him. He's usually engrossed in video games and even though he's pretty young, he can talk sassy without fumbling.

As per her dad, Arushee has a very polite Dad who loves to visit Dehradun and has spent the last 6 months between Delhi and Dehradun. He still never missed any special moment when Arushee wanted him here. Whether it was farewell, or the first board examination.

Arushee’s mother, is a little uptight but that's because she's a teacher.

She teaches in a non-governmental organization which is one major reason why I admire her so much. She loves being independent and punctuality is her forte. Clicking pictures is another hobby that Arushee’s mother incessantly enjoys and she's also more understanding than most mother's I’'ve met.

LAKSHITA AND ARUSHEE

I share a very strange bond with Arushee. There was a long time when we didn't share anything but our class. But as time surpassed, and 11th came our way, things started going back to normal and I’m glad to have her back. Her smile has a very strong vibe which is nice to have around. 

I adore her and the things that she does and in the past six months, we’'ve spent so much time together, that it feels like she's a sister of mine that lives upstairs. She knows every place in my house where there's a probability of finding something sweet and word of CAUTION : no matter how much you try to hide it, if it’s sweet, Arushee Chauhan will find it. Business studies is one thing we have studied together so much that I think I’m going to giftwrap her gift with Poonam Gandhi's cover. Math is another thing that Arushee taught me and took the pleasure of feeling tall, standing for the whiteboard while I was sitting.

Currently, she's a major part of my life, and even a day when I don't see her, we receive miss you texts from the other end.

Best friend is not something I’d call her because she's things it would mean falling in the same pit again and I understand that.

BEST FRIEND according to our theory, is not something you start calling yourself on instagram. It's something you become while the coffee gets cold.

College is on it's way and I honestly don't want to lose her because, let's just say it, the bitch brings light and hope everywhere she goes.

FROM THE AUTHOR’S VIEW

To rest my case, I’d like to say that Arushee is a very positive person and she has a sweet tooth that will never turn source. She loves her brother and every one in her life and she puts more efforts into relationships than most people do, these days.

She looks at the bigger picture and she lets go of anger very easily.

She gets attached way too fast and some might call it a flaw but that's just another thing that's make her perfect.

She's hard working and can slog five hours of studying which most people can't do. Even though she's lost her faith in the idea of best friendship but I think she’'ll come around soon enough.

She runs like the wind and her smile can make you feel like it's for you. She laughs like a horse which might be a little strange because she's little and that much sound coming out of her feels weird.

Loves to eat, which is actually THE MAJOR REASON we’'ve come so close, of late.

Ending the tale, I’d like to say that it’s an honor to have someone like her in your life and I’m obliged to share this honor.

Happy birthday, Aaru Faadu!

-Laku.
