I had finished my SSC Board Examinations and of course, was very excited. Why? I was very happy that I won’t be going to school any longer and that soon I will be going to college. My exams had also gone very well...yeah you are not sure about your percentage but you do have a fair idea that you have done well. I had done my calculations and I knew I could manage to get about 75 per cent. And I did get 73 per cent! So what…you don’t hit bull’s eye every time.

Are you guys married? “No aunty,” is the reply. Then? Without marriage, how can you live together? “Aunty, this is called a live-in relationship.” Aunty has nothing to say. She just shrugs her shoulders. This is not a scene out of some show but this is what happened with a friend of mine.
