"LOVE" FALL- My Entry to the GetPublished Contest



LOVE, a four letter word which often intrigues even those who think they know all about it. Love, a mystical word, whose derivation changes from person to person, situation to situation and relation to relation. It is the quiver of a blade of grass in the wind. It is in the way the wind flutters a blade of grass. Perspectives are different, but are the manifestations of love in either case. This chamelionisation is what makes this word so unique and so intriguing. Love is a thing which hurts us the most sometime or the other but every person in the world runs after it.

The story revolves around a shy, introvert teenager who is desperate to experience love. But who knew that this struggle to find happiness in love was to lead him to a dark, lonely place called as the heartbreak cell where he was punished ruthlessly by depression. He only saw the brighter side of love and didn't see the deep, dark crevasse in between. Our protagonist discovers a girl in his locality who, as he thought was, totally different from all other girls of the same age group. He started talking to her and he used to talk so much that others would think something was cooking. Yeah, it was cooking, he started falling in love with that girl. One fine day, he thought he would confess his feelings to her. So when he told her, her reply shocked him..........

This story is about a peaceful love triangle, which evolved into a dark, ruthless tragedy by the forces of possessiveness and anxiety. This story is very different from what is portrayed in movies and truly depicts what happens in modern day India, especially in teenagers. People today get influenced by seeing movies which shows two people falling in love  in moments but in reality its a long struggle of a person with a spectrum of feelings and myriad of people that he has to conquer and only if he succeeds to outwit them, only then is that he is allowed to get what his heart truly wants. This is the ultimate test that nature puts on a man to test whether he is stable enough to sustain a relationship and this is the most important point that many people miss out on while trying to get into a relationship. With this story the writer wants to spread this message through as many people as possible.

  2. Hi Praveen,

    Yes, many people only get dazzled by the larger-than-life portrayal of love by media and films. One must know the ground realities before taking the plunge. Looks good.
