		<description>[...] I really don&#8217;t know what to write today. Something happened few days back that i never expected. I have been waiting, so eagerly, for and when it happened i couldn&#8217;t even feel the happiness. I have seen people cry when they are happy but what if you are super-duper happy? what do you then? I felt nothing when she told me those words i have been waiting to hear for long. It just happened and as i alway say thats how life is! You never know what is going to happen next and I love pleasant surprises. I crave for something and when i don&#8217;t get it, i feel depressed and lonely. And when i get it, then i feel nothing as if it was normal and expected. I sometimes wonder that the excitement that hope generates cannot match something which is certain. I have developed this opinion based on my experiences for the past 23 years of my life. I always failed to feel the rejuvenation after being initially rejected. I was shattered last year and this happiness for me was inconceivable then! [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Before visiting Hyderabad I had this notion that its a metropolitan but when my mother asked me about it I said its just a big Patna  nothing more. There was chaos all around.

So you were in science. I know how boring science sections were in my college...they had nothing in life but just study.
Love is blind dear..and u never know when u fall into. Like you said that u fell in love with a guy completely opposite to you..it happens..many of my modern friends had country bfs. But i wonder how long relationships like these last because the initial youthfulness is easily taken over my mature outlook towards life. I am sad that your story has a tragic end...i dunno what to say..same case with me also...my gf&#039;s parents refused because she comes from a rich family. But then i often wonder that its good that these differences came up before marriage or else i would have been ruined!!

these love affairs! they suck</description>

well it wasnt about him being a small-city guy but it was about me being a &quot;hip n hop&quot; lass!
i wasnt the type who could sit in the class and talk with &quot;not so hip ppl&quot;.
lp was my life for a few months (u must be knowing lp n lt)
in fact i wasn&#039;t able to adjust in a science-students-kind-of-atmosphere of my class!
&quot;people who came to the college early in the morning and stayed there for the entire day though noone knew that they are a part of the college&quot;
even he wonders till date howcome i landed up liking him..with all his simplicity and &quot;ignorance&quot;. my life was all about gossip, hip clothes, college choreography team and fests! and he never attended a single fest!
but thats how it goes..opposites attract!!
isnt it??
stephens..hmmm..</description>

		<description>Interesting contrast. I am sure it is actually her :)
Sharique if the gal is really like the one you have described then you should be thankful to her for refusing you. Come on man she acted such a bitch. Who on earth acts that way. She is from a city that doesn&#039;t mean she in superior to you or anyone else and on the contrary her mentality shows how narrow minded she is. City life hasn&#039;t taught her any thing? she doesn&#039;t know how to respect emotions. Take my word dude, if she is really life the one you have described then she is going to suffer all her life. Those city friends of hers cannot support her all her life and plus they will also ditch her with time. I hope she gets what she deserves ;) and she gets to know the importance of respecting others.

And if she is not the one you have described then i take back my words. I think you are ranting and assuming things. She might be rich but no one in this world gets what they prefer....absolutely no one!!

@anonymous
may i ask you how being a non-city wala influences love? you still fell in love with him! and plus i don&#039;t think a person with education will find it hard to cope up with city life..whats the big deal with a city? we all are humans and its just a matter of time when someone imbibes the qualities of the locality one resides in. Anyway i am deeply moved by your story...btw i was in stephens :)</description>

		<description>[b]I am just waiting for him to get married![/b]

Well...your story reminds me of another story of â€œme n my xâ€?.
He can be compared to this country guy in every sense. A &quot;country guy&quot; coming from Bihar spending 5 years in Delhi...still Delhi&#039;s life style never touched him.
Then thereâ€™s this miss (thatâ€™s me) from his own class. Trying to get busy with the college lifeâ€¦though I knew that I wonâ€™t succeed!
The first meeting: heard a lot about him in the class but for sometime he was not attending the classes. Then, one fine dayâ€¦he came, and one of my friends yelled, heâ€™s the guy I was talking off! 
My instant reaction was â€œnot the kind of guy I will get involved with!â€?
But as days passed, I realized that he is not the kind of guy I expected him to be. A regular guy from a small town!
He had a world of his own! There was something in him that made people listen to him even though most of them had doubts about him!
But no one ignored him. His presence made us all laugh and have a good time. Everyone had eyes on him!
With time I, in fact both of us realized that we are just the same. We were not like regular college students trying to enjoy life. We sat at mall road and discussed â€œthe other side of lifeâ€?. There was something about him that turned me away from my college â€œlpâ€? (thatâ€™s lovers point and thatâ€™s what Hansraj college is famous for) to the mall road.
In fact we enjoyed those first few meetings out of our department. We discussed things that are generally not discussed in our age group. We talked seriously for hours in Delhiâ€™s scorching heat!
I started liking that place and whenever we had time we went to the mall road and had tea!
I never thought that I will find such a nice friend in such a guy who was totally different from â€œmy idea of a guyâ€?.
 But as time passed, I realized that he has some feelings for me. Though I knew this since long but we never talked of it. He was the first person I used to look for, when I reached my college and probably the only person.
As they say, time flies!
I kept on asking myself, am I actually falling for him??
Because the very idea of falling in love with such a down to earth guy was weird!
I was asking myself, â€œare you sureâ€? â€œhow can it beâ€?. Like other girls I wanted a tall dark handsome â€œdudeâ€?. 
But since he was the best friend I ever had! It was understandable that I was falling for him.
Actually I never had a friend. He was a blessing in disguise!
And den we talked of it.
We realized that we are madly in love! His silence and my emptiness were a perfect match!
Then we graduated. I was more than worried. I was used to spending my entire day with him and suddenly I was all alone!
But he was there to comfort me. He got an internet connection just to be in touch with me!
Life was never this good!
And one fine day, he proposed me!
I was out of my mind.
He asked me and, I only looked at him with tears of approval.
After that whenever I had a talk with him I asked him, â€œYou, still mean itâ€? â€œyou still stand by what you saidâ€?. I never thought that things will take this shape. Though we knew that we love each other but we never talked about it after that.
And then he went home. I was waiting for him to get back and tell him that I missed him so much and I am just dying to have a glimpse of his face!
I was trying to track him since 6 in the morning. Itâ€™s the day he was supposed to get back!
And finally at around 11 his phone rang!
Oh! I was going mad. He picked up and started talking. But there was something in his voice that was missing.
I asked him, whatâ€™s it? He said itâ€™s nothing! I knew there was something wrong.
I kept on asking and he kept on denying. And then he said, when are we supposed to meet? I knew something is wrong and I knew that itâ€™s related to me and him. I asked him again. He said we will talk when we meet.
Now I knew that itâ€™s something serious. I said, is it about you and me. He kept silent. His silence was killing me. I was impatient. I said, is it the same thing I am thinking off?
He said â€œyesâ€?.
I thought as if I am sinking. I gathered some strength and said, what happened?
He said nothing but all I can tell you is that I wonâ€™t be able to commit myself to you.
It was my fault that I even talked of such a thing but my parents will never accept you. And I am helpless in front of them!
He told me that his family is looking for a â€œsuitableâ€? match for him and he will get married in one or two years!
It was 15th October last year when he said this. This 15th again, he will come back from his place and I donâ€™t know what news will, he bring with him!
One year has passed. And I am still trying to tell myself that he will be gone soon. He told himself long back that I wonâ€™t be there with him forever.

One year has passed. And I am still trying to tell myself that he will be gone soon. He told himself long back that I wonâ€™t be there with him forever.<br />
[b]I am just waiting for him to get married![/b]</p>
