Hola. I am as new to India Forums as I'm to Hindi Television itself. My technologically troubled self finds it a tad bit hard to navigate India Forums in general but I'm finally taking a risk and I hope I'm not messing up. The introvert in me is short of breath with the amount of social interaction I'm about to do just by posting this story, so please excuse me if I'm not doing it the right way. I had to share this story with people. So, here goes nothing..
Just a Pandemic Story
Prologue
" When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade". Does Anokhi Bhalla believe in this quotation from an unknown source ? Yes. Would she follow it to a T ? Absolutely not !!! She'd rather store all those lemons and use them to hit people that are sour to her. The pandemic confined her university life to her bedroom and her classmates who sit next her, have been replaced by soft toys and a dog who keeps getting jealous of her macbook. Her best friends live in different corners of the country and all of have them are currently united by the endless struggles of assignments, last night revisions and Quentin Tarantino movies on discord. 12:00 AM deadlines have been haunting her since 3 and 1/2 years and at the age of 23, she's still submitting assignments at 11:58 PM. One and half year of education to complete before graduation and finally attempting the prestigious Civil Services Examination, Anokhi Bhalla's heart is only occupied with her goal. Fate seems to have a different but good plan for Anokhi. She needs to make place for a new person and her life, for a new story. What kind of love story, does a world, full of masked people and sanitised surfaces, have in store for this amazing woman ?
Audentes Fortuna Juvat OR "Fortune favours the bold", as Shaurya Sabherwal has been explaining to every second person who chances upon his tattoo and gets curious about it. What the..! They simply don't understand that tattoos are a private matter !! Stepping out of his flourishing ancestral family business and establishing a food delivery start-up - With Pyaar, on his own, the 27-year old followed this latin proverb to the T. Pandemic brought a boom to his start up and he couldn't be happier for his business and sadder for the circumstances. Escaping his parents' lectures on desi remedies for the pandemic, swiftly dodging his sister-in-law's matchmaking efforts, buying all the toys in the world for his niece and listening to his best friend rant about the lack of vegan restaurants in this country, the pandemic has been rather uneventful for him. Would this entrepreneur get a chance to add a little spice to his life while navigating through a world full of vaccines, crazy instagram reels and absolutely long zoom conferences ?
Note :
Hey..I had the idea for this story when I zoned out of a very important ONLINE criminal law class. The difference between culpable homicide and murder can always be learnt later on. The plot that I had in my my mind filled me with glee and when I started writing, it made me so giddy. I wanted share the happiness that I got from this version of Shaurya and Anokhi.
Unfortunately for me, I started watching Shaurya aur Anokhi ki Kahaani after it ended. It was one fun binge watch. I'm extremely new to the idea of Hindi Television itself and I'm glad SAKKK is one of my firsts. I'm a very inexperienced writer when it comes to fiction. life has unfortunately limited my writing to research papers. But I gave it a try.
This plot was originally for a different couple and i have it on a different platform, but a student's role in a fan fiction can't be filled by a character who's not a student on screen. I am trying to give it my best. Writing this story makes me forget the all the big bad happenings outside and I sincerely hope that it does the same to you. <3
I would love to have any tips that you have which'll help me learn about this platform and will help make this story more fun.
