My Illusion My Mistake Akshat Jain

Couples around the globe marry when in love. But in some parts of the world, and especially in India, the term 'Marriage' is quite confusing. In India, 'Love' and 'Marriage' are thought to be two completely different entities. They can't exist together. If somehow they do, then the tedious process of bridging the gap between love and marriage is even harder than getting a US work visa! However, love does exist in our land. Just before and after marriages. But only the latter is legal and accepted. Life is quite ironical in so many ways. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value the presence of someone very special. But the story you are going to read is quite different. Welcome to My Illusion, My Mistake, the story of Mansi and Manav. They are from different parts of the country, love each other, and want to get married. But this doesn't happen... Yes, parents, customs and other illogical logics don't allow them. Their love was at its peak, but Mansi's family, being overly conservative and concerned, arrange her marriage with an NRI living in the U. S. and working for Wipro. Manav is devastated. He feels his life slipping out of his hand, and leaves his lucrative job in a premier software company, falling into a black spiral of depressive days... After many months, Manav chances upon another girl of the same custom and religion as him in a corporate fair. His life goes through a lot of twists and turns after that... Will he be able to rise from those dark days and nights? Will this girl help him? Only time will tell...
