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

‘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

Aranya debated whether she should say it and she decided to anyway. Screw

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.
