Mr. William Shakespeare.....howzzat...?

Acquaintances sometimes let you know great stories. This is a story about a tragedy that happened to the room mate of one of my friends' cousins....woof..!!!...somebody !

 Its kinda sad, even more so, cause it was treated as a joke. But then, the truth is that even I laughed out when I heard this. The name of the guy is Saurabh. Decent name...but....

Saurabh was in love with this girl called Ayushee. He saw her on the first day of class in college. He fell in love soon. Planned out a proposal; and like most intelligent young lovers, he proposed on the 14th of February, the next year. She said 'Yes'. He said 'Yesss !!!!'.

For the next two years, the couple did everything you would expect of them. They talked through the nights. Roamed about. Were seen in places like CCD, the last corner seats of movie theatres, temples,hill stations etc. They did their Mondays and Thursdays together. They promised to live through those seven lives, and wished there were more lives to live together. They did stuff that made girls say "How sweet...O my Gawd". Everything...and...O ya...they had sex too...

Well, this is all predictable stuff, isn't it? What isn't is what happened after this.

Their college organised a fest. Colleges from all over the city; and two colleges from other towns of the same state, participated in that so-called National Level Fest. There was a guy who participated in one of the Robotics competitions. His name was Arjun...and guess what...Arjun Rampal. Only by name !



Ayushee was a die hard fan of the 'real' Arjun Rampal. So, one of her friends, of course a girl, rushed to tell her that there's this guy called Arjun Rampal in campus. She responded exactly the way she was expected to. She met him in the next ten minutes. The next day, a new relationship started building up. The next month, our own Saurabh was nowhere in the picture.

Now, someone's got to explain me why this happened. I mean, I've seen that Arjun's picture in orkut. He looks bad. So... how can someone fall for a name? Shakespeare's words... "What's in a name" were crucified it seems.

Well, I seriously had no clue why this happened to Saurabh. Can you help me with this...? Please...?
