Why some stories have sad endings????


Prologue
Few days back, I read a true love story technically I lived their relationship. It is "I too had a love story" by Ravinder Singh. I just have one word to describe it "Mesmerizing". There was a guy named Ravin, handsome, smart and a software engineer in Bhubhaneshwar.He met with his college friends and they discussed about the probability of successful alliance through shadi.com. He made an account just like that. He met with a girl named Khushi who is also a software engineer in Faridabad through this site. Just like her name, she was lively, charming and very beautiful. They exchanged their nos and started talking on phone. Slowly they became friends and eventually they fall in love with each other without meeting, without caring about any other thing, only one thing which bound them was their love. They lived in different cities yet they managed to take time out of their busy schedules for each other. They attend office, then phone calls to each other, their family, phone calls to each other, then CAT preparation then phone calls to each other.They made promises to each other and always kept them. They both were perfect and complement each other. They decided to take a step ahead and told their family about their sweet and etheral nexus. Their families were happy in theirs.
Interlogue
Then boy had some project in US for some days. He told khushi about this. For her, he was an indispensible thing actually for both of them!!She was upset but agreed as she knew it was important for him. Ravin had to catch his plain from New delhi. So they decided to meet finally and meanwhile Ravin would be able to meet Khushi's parents. Both were so close to each other yet they were nervous. They saw each other and were sure that they were totally in love. He met with her family. They discussed and talked and slowly their hesitation disappeared. Ravin was leaving for US next morning. Khushi planned to meet Ravin alone with the help of her sis and excuse of IMS class. They hugged and kissed but they knew their limitations. They forgot the time and their fate, it started raining. Due to this, she got late and boy took all the responsiblities on him though it was her plan. Her family forgave them as they had trust on boy and their love. Then he flew to US. They were in touch thro Chat and SMS. In US also, inspite of their busy schedule, time difference, other responsiblities, they were connected. His 45 day trip ended and he finally returned to delhi. Once again he visited her family and they were together again 4 the last time. He went back to Bhubaneshwar and told his family that the girl was perfect. In few months, her family visited his, and they decided their rings to be exchanged on valentines day'eve as she wanted to spend day with her boyfriend, he wanted to spend time with his fiancee. Girl was totally enthralled, she danced, sang, was completely in love. He was also her perfect match. Nobody can depart them but destiny.
Coda
It is the sadest part of this story and believe me i m equally morose in writing it but sometimes you are helpless. Khushi met with an accident and she was hospitalised. Ravin rushed to Faridabad. She was unconscious. Doctors operated on her. Sometimes she was better, sometimes worse. Doctors shifted her to Apollo. He just prayed and pleaded "please god not her". He knew no matter what happens, he would be there for her. He could do anything to get her back. His mother was very worried as she wanted to be with her son. On Khushi's family and doctor's insist he moved to bhubaneshwar. He was going to get tickets reserved for his and his family. When he saw khushi in saree which she described him she would wear it on engagement. She was looking as beautiful as before with no marks and cuts. She came to him and talked with him. She exchanged same rings and kissed him and rested on his shoulder. When a call interrupted his thoughts(dont know if he was dreaming or!!!). It was her father and told him about her demise. He was speechless and just got blank. He told his family and then he realized that he lost the precious thing in his life, actually he lost his life. Khushi was dead, he was dying each day without her. He went to Faridabad but was unable to see her, unable to kiss her for the last time. He continued his life with work, family but without one thing his khushi, though she would be there in his thoughts, feeling, in everything. He just remembered the past and he felt happy and at the same time tears rolled down his already damp eyes.
I dont know if it is real or not. I m sure its the sweetest and the sadest love story i have read. But i m happy for one thing, he had a beautiful and etheral experience with her. Though he has only memories of hers. He can cherish them and was able to experience the beautiful part of his life that is love.Sometimes there is no villain, no vamps no parents' refusal. Still there is only 1 thing that is destiny which decides our future.

Journey from Rajasthan to IIM-C


Today, I am not writing about a known figure but about an ordinary boy and the thing which is motivating me to write about him is his fire to keep trying. There is a boy whose hometown is rajasthan. He was average in studies. One thing which is worth mentioning is that he studied english alphabets in sixth standard(Unbelievable but true). Due to his parents, he completed his X11 and somehow took admission in one of the colleges of Rajasthan. In first semester, he got 2 back. The reason was his english which remained his biggest challenge. He knew the answers but didnt know how to write them as he was unable to write simple english. He completed his engg. with 64%(Appreciable!!).
Then he got a job in a small firm as an assignment for 2 years. Through a friend, he got to know about CAT which leads to his turning point...
But english remained his problem and his maths and DI were also not so good. He gave CAT for the first time and got 80 percentile. Then to improve his english, he started carrying a dictionary. Whenever he came across a word, he tried to find the meaning as well as its usage of that word. Then he gave CAT second time, this time he got a call from 1 IIM. But now his biggest hurdle was interview and GD. He was not fluent in english so he was rejected in that interview.
As the says goes failure is the first step toward success and he believes in that. Despite of this fact, his friends used to make fun of him. He left no stone unturn and keep practising. He gave the CAT third time and got calls from 2 IIM. Finally he cleared his GD and interview and got call from IIM Calcutta.
My father always says there is no place for mediocre in this competitive world. But now i believe every person has a chance, the difference is some are born intelligent and some acquires them and we should always keep trying.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal;
It is the courage to continue that counts."

Men are narcissist??

Well I was always nonplussed about the narcissism of men. So let me give you an epitome and you decide it yourself!! Yesterday I was on a call with one of my friend. We were talking about a girl who had a sweet nexus with a guy long time back. That girl met with that guy on phone and then their Elysian experience began and eventually she falls in love with that guy. But as the says goes, beautiful things are ephemeral in nature, their etheral alliance came to an end. For that girl that was halcyon days of love and still were beautiful part of her life.I was just narrating the story and my friend humilated her relation and call it gobbledegook. I was irated by his statement. He was just predicting the things in an egotistical manner and was oblivous about the gravity of their relation. For him it was just a frivolous affair and was behaving in an implaccable manner. Finally I was totally miffed and decided to end this conversation.One thing I realized men may be more pragmatic in their approach but sometimes they forget that there are some things which are beyond this- Emotions!!
