Love...one word which has sparked off so many literary and creative masterpieces , be it Shakespeare's Romeo Juliet, or more contemporary Erich Segal's Love story(I'm yet to meet a person claiming to be a reader who has not read this one!!).
Love, always appealing to the more mysterious, more creative and the uber-present romatiques.
Love, almost parallel to the religion and God, as very few people absorb the deeper and the real meaning but almost every person is a self-confessed connoisseur on the matters under discussion.
Love..people say is always followed by some kind of sacrifice.
Phew!!!! even I have a plethora of words when it comes to this universal feeling. Discussing and writing about love is a pretty easy task to accomplish, but when it comes to real life love stories we have to scan our lives to point out one True love story.
I consider myself very lucky when it comes to witnessing love stories,as medical college provides ample time (5 years and 6 months is pretty longgggg!!!) and sufficient circumstances(away from home, loads and loads of books, never-ending syllabus...and others).
I have witnessed every shade of love (and it has nothing to do with a particular'fifty shades of grey') be it FOSLA(frustated-one-sided-lovers-association) or I-love-you-because-you-are-good-at-pharmacology, and then there were relationships based on pure lust, senior-junior affair, student's crush on teacher...the list is endless and if I start writing about them it will be similar to opening a Pandora's box.
However the love story I find worth mentioning and narrating to the world was one based on sacrifice, and involved four friends (come-on its a well known fact that love and friendship have always been interchanged, its a cliche.)
I observed it at a close distance as I was friends with them, and at times there were such complex emotions involved that even I was confused. Anyways without further delay there were these four friends twoo girls and two guys, lets name them A,B (guys) and X,Y(girls). A and X became friends instantly the moment they met, thanks to a cultural program where they shared the talent (and ragging time was the one where you were not supposed to interact with the opposite sex!!!). They became such close friends that by the end of first semester they were naming each other's favourites, sharing food and notes (along with gossip from their respective hostels) and even shared same sun-sign( a very successful conversation starter in our college days). If it wouldnt be for the intervention by two restless souls B and Y, they would have been the best couple by the end of the year. Both the guy and the girl were oblivious of their under-cover feelings for each other as they were confident that they were the best friends, they would sneer at anyone who claimed they were dating (typical, I know!!)
The problem started with the fresher party where X discovered that her friend Y was head over heels in love with A, and A found out that his friend B was smitten by X(hope you dont get confused seeing the algebraic references. but I dont want to reveal the real names).
Girls being a bit of sentimentalist will always be fool when it comes to the matters of hearts. So X like a true friend and a good samaritan stepped out of A's life and Y's path going to the extent of fighting with A just o repel him (kiddish, I know but cut them some slack they were just in college) Now Y started dating A and X went out with B just to get a hang of the dating game, not that she was interested in any one. Things went smooth for about 2-3 years when X could not keep the pretense and broke up with B. But she valued friendship a tad more than love so she never interfered in her friends love life going about her way.
Now I always say that facts are stranger than fiction and real life is spicier than reel-life. So destined to cross paths, both of the friends A and X met again after one year of leaving college.
This time A was sure that he has lost his true love in the form of X when he saw her after a gap. The end is supposed to be a surprise as there will be nothing of interest if I disclose so as to what happened in the end.
But the things that made the story interesting was the involvement of a a lot of spiced-up characters, the background of a medical college and not to forget the involvement of B, a guy who was an epitome of love but lost out quite early due to his ill-fate.
