Boys will be boys but girls need to have better sense in �Love�. But did�she? May be not.
\nHere’s an excerpt from the story:\n\nThe only thing that is worse for an Indian mother than her husband having an affair�or her son doing drugs is her daughter falling in love. Matters are not serious if it is�her son who is in love; boys will be boys but girls need to have better sense. �I was the class topper. It was a position I held with hard work and pride. For the life�of me, I couldn�t understand how a person could be so apathetic to his education. I�hated Sid�he represented all that I hate in a person: money, power, laziness and�irresponsibility.\n\nInitially, his antics made me miss heartbeats.�I would look on, shocked, unable to comprehend his stupidity. Then, slowly, it�became a routine and I learned to ignore it. Though I gazed at him greedily, from the�corner of my eyes, I pretended as if I didn�t notice him at all. I felt his eyes on me all�day. I snubbed him.\n\nIn school, I steadily ignored him. At home, I stealthily longed for him.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nArchana�Sarat�is a freelance writer and author since the last ten�years. She shuttles between Chennai and Mumbai and loves both cities�passionately.
