HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEAR TO ALL! VISHU ASHAMSAKAL TOO! 

KIRATI'S POV

I woke up from my bed and switched off my alarm. It is 6 am in the morning. Now, I have to cook breakfast and lunch with my room mate and get ready for my office. I am Kirati, Kirati Maheshwaran. A middle class girl who is marching towards her dreams. I am from a typical South Indian family. I did my schooling and bachelors in Chennai. I got seat in ICT, first my parents didn't allow me to go to Mumbai but after a lot of pleadings they accepted at last. I am their sweetheart so they had to agree. After completing my M. Tech in Institute of Chemical Technology, I got job in Mumbai itself. Though, I am from Chennai, I was able to manage here as I know Hindi.

My friend Veena is an angel sent by god whom I got from Mumbai. She is also my roommate. She studied with me in ICT. She is an orphan and studied with scholarships. As she was born and brought from Mumbai, she helped me a lot to adjust in this city. I am currently working in "Dazzling Diva Cosmetics" in Research and Development department as Assistant Head. My friend Veena is working in "Glowing Beauty", the company which is competitor to ours not only that she is even going to marry the CEO of the company Arjun Singhanya soon. Arjun is a nice person also he became my friend too. Though we are working for different companies that never affected our friendship.

My parents said that they are looking for a groom for me too. Soon, I will also get married. My mom always said that she has kept my name as Kirati because she wanted me to be as brave as Parvathi. Will I get a husband who will be like Lord Shiva? Shiva is the only god who has given half of his body to his wife. He is the God who proved that men and women are equal. I always wished for a husband like him. Will I be able to get someone who gives me his heart to rule? Will I get someone who will stand for me in thick and thin? I reached the kitchen having all these thoughts in mind. There my friend Veena is trying to light the gas stove. She doesn't know to light the gas stove still; I don't know how she is going to survive after her marriage. I have already informed Arjun that he should learn cooking as soon as possible, as this girl will never learn cooking. If not, he has to keep a cook for his survival.

"Still, you didn't learn right?", I asked her with irritation. Because everyday she will say that she will learn cooking soon. But that soon never happened.

"Yaar Kira, what can I do? This gas stove is never becoming my friend at all. Stupid stove", Veena said like a child.

"Move, let me make coffee for us", I said and lit the stove.

"What will I do without you Kira? You are the only one who can handle this stove.", she said in a filmy way.

"Anyways who knows to cook can do this. But you, stupid girl never wants to learn cooking", I hit her in head.

"Arrey, what's my mistake in that? Remember once I tried to cook and the fire alarm started", she said and started laughing. How can I forget that day? I just told her to heat the milk and left for the nearby shop and this girl she almost burned the apartment. I feel pity for Arjun and his parents.

"Stop your melodrama. I have to go to my office early today because new MD is coming", I told her.

"Yea, I heard about it. What happened to Prem sir then?", Veena asked me.

"I don't know yaar. I just heard that he got into some accident. His cousin who is son of Adith sir is going to take over this branch from now on. I also heard that he studied in Harvard University. So far, he is taking care of the branch in UK", I told her the details what I got from my office.

"Adidev is Arjun's friend. He told me yesterday. I forgot to tell you about this. They both are best friends too. Arju said that he is very short tempered but very good at heart it seems. So be on time today", Veena said. I wish Prem sir itself continued. He is a very nice person but due to his sudden accident this company's MD got changed.

I got ready as soon as possible. Veena's office is exactly on the opposite direction of ours. So, she goes to her office in her scooty. I bid my goodbye to her and started driving my scooty. On the way to my office, near the junction, a car and came and hit my scooty. I fell down and got scratches in my hand. God, it's paining.

"Can't you see and drive?", a man asked me. How dare he? He is the one who made me fell down and now asking me whether I know to drive?

I got up with much difficulty.

"Mister, I think you don't know the traffic rules. First of all, I want to see that RTO who gave you this driving license. Show me your license first. Don't you have manners. Instead of saying sorry, you are blaming me. Arivuketavane (Brainless human)", at the end I spoke in Tamil so that he couldn't understand what I am scolding him.

"Excuse me, how dare you call me as Brainless human?", he asked me. I am dead! I thought he don't know Tamil. But he understood what I scold him.

"Back to Earth Miss. I understand Tamil very well. Don't give too much work to your peanut size brain", he said and went inside his BMW again. While the car was passing, I saw that there is another guy who was sitting at the back seat of the car. This guy, he didn't even got down from the car. How arrogant he is!

AHHHH, My day started with a mess. God, I have to reach office in two minutes. I am definitely going to be late. All because of that brainless guy who came and argued and also that "handsome arrogant jerk" who didn't got down from the car at all.

"Handsome?", my mind mocked me.

"Yea he was handsome, good looking too. But yes, as well as he was a jerk", my heart replied.

"Shut up", I said to both my brain and mind and left for my office again. I am late. But, he looks like someone I know. I just couldn't remember that person.

"Kirati mam, new MD sir asked for you", peon said.

I went directly into the managing director's cabin. I knocked his room door.

"Come in", a heard a muscular voice which was purely manly as well as it had some UK accent.

I entered the cabin and stood there stunned. The day is getting more and more worse for me!
