SG and PDA

Yesterday was more caught up with Gunur and I even saw the SG scenes more with reference to that. But later, was thinking ...

Gunjan's self-esteem. Her older sister Nupur - diva of Morena, had guys falling all over her while Gunjan had no admirers. Added to which, a bui who thinks girls' only job in life is to get married. Move to Mumbai, cousin Dia - another diva, leader of the college, super cool, confident, and best friend of Samrat, the guy who Gunjan fell in love with, also had all guys falling over her left right and center. Sheena - Samrat fell for Sheena, and confided all the details to Gunjan - of course, Gunjan was just his best friend, she wasn't the kind a guy would look at in 'that' sense, she was just a friend, because she wasn't cool enough to be a girl friend. Finally Suhani - Samrat's sister, cool, confident in her own right and also has a handsome hunk falling for her at first sight. And these three - Nupur, Dia and Suhani are Gunjan's closest girlfriends.

Why would Samrat look at a girl like her? Sure, they were best friends, they became best friends very quickly for whatever reasons. But friendship is different, when a guy wants romance, he doesn't mean conversation and emotional heart to heart talks - that Samrat already has with Gunjan as a best friend. Where's the romance in being with a serious, simple sober girl like her?

And Samrat doesn't have to show her she's his best friend. he doesn't have to tell her that there are things he can talk about only with her, that they are emotionally very close. She knows that part already. Going for coffee together, sitting in class together, studying together, walking down the corridor together - friends do that, and the whole college knows that Samrat and Gunjan are best friends. And they have been doing that for ever, so much so that everyone thought they were a couple long before they actually were. But what Gunjan feels is that she's not attractive enough for any guy, not as smart, as funny, witty, talkative as Nupur, Dia, Suhani ... she's friend material all right, but not romance material.

And that's what Samrat is trying to show - to her and to the world. That she IS beautiful, she's sexy, she's stunning and she turns him on. The only thing missing from their relationship was their physical attraction and that is the part that Gunjan feels inadequate about, what with her glasses and simple looks. So that's what is being built up - and it has to be in public, because it's other people who are saying she's not good enough for him, and he has to show them that she is. She knows what she means to him, but the fact that the world thinks differently makes her feel that the world may be right - she loves him, but why would he love her when he can have his pick of girls? And by hiding their relationship, he's saying that he thinks the same way - he hid their friendship initially when he was ashamed of being seen with her, because it went against his cool image, later when they became closer, he didn't care what people said any more, she was his friend and everybody had better accept that.
And now he wasn't demonstrative in public because he knew she was shy and reserved and he respected that completely, so he gave her time to get comfortable with the whole changed relationship - and she did. That's why she kissed him - and I was right, it was a turning point.
But now the world is saying she's not good enough for him and that is upsetting her - so Samrat is not going to take that. He WILL show the world that she's the one for him, because he loves her completely - she's his love, his soulmate, his life, and he can't see her upset or feeling small or hurt in any way at all. And he will show her too - that not only is she his best friend, the girl with whom he can share all his thoughts, his insecurities, his secrets, but she is also the girl who makes his heart beat faster, the girl he wants to love, the one he wants in his arms for the rest of his life.
