fed through movies and television and music and advertisements. I have been
               down that road and it blows. It’s no fun dating a face. I have had my heart

               broken a million times—not by the women I chose to date but the mistake I did
               by choosing them. And that guy is making a mistake too and he will know that
               soon. Though I do agree with you that men are flawed and unfair. But that’s why

               God made women like you to set things right. Law of averages. If I were you I
               wouldn’t sulk in a room.’
                  ‘Then?’

                  ‘You should go to your sister’s wedding and engage the guy in conversation
               about the situation in Darfur and talk about the fiscal deficit and then leave the
               conversation midway and walk away, giving him time to soak in your brilliance

               and realize his folly.’
                  Aranya smiled imagining the situation in her head. ‘No, I can’t do that. She’s
               my sister after all. She’s family, so can’t hurt her.’

                  ‘Then stop feeling bad about yourself,’ remarked Raghuvir. ‘And where did it
               all start from?’

                  Aranya debated whether she should say it and she decided to anyway. Screw
               it, he already knew everything. ‘Dhruv. We were in the same school and he has
               followed me here. He called me an ugly, loathsome toad.’
                  ‘What?’

                  ‘And he told me the rest of the world thinks the same of me. Which is sort of
               correct because my own parents and relatives think of me as a disaster.’

                  ‘But he’s not your sister or your family. Feel free to exact your revenge,’ said
               Raghuvir and smiled at her.
                  Aranya thanked him and left the room. She desperately wanted some cake.
                  And a little revenge.
