THAT DRAMA QUEEN IS IN LOVE

                                  

                            And she knows that she is in love when,

    1.  She loves life like never before.

   2. She was lambasted by her boss but still she kept on smiling. She thinks of him even when she is shopping in a crowded ‘can’t even breathe’ street market.

   3. She said bye-bye to her signature perfume, got for herself the body spray he uses which was not even unisex.

  4.      Ran like Ben Johnson with her six inches heel to hand over the tissue paper he had thrown in the trashcan.

5.      When he is around her period cramps is just like chocolate.

6.      She sings in the bathroom imagining herself to be Norah Jones/ Shreya Ghoshal. She reconsiders her long lost hobby, blows kisses at the mirror, and treats herself with the finest of the meal.

 7.    While waxing, threading, bleaching she hides her tears for his namesake. She smiles at her enemy number one(the one to whom she once called, “Bitch”), obvious, she is in love.

8.She dances in the rain, she wears bright colours, she even acts sober which is difficult for a drama queen.

 9. She creates a theory where she propagates everyone to fall in love once in a lifetime. She inspires her friends who are single not to let go of hope and even tolerates her friend’s nasty and rowdy boyfriends.

10.  Finally, when a drama queen is in love she loves this article and the writer who wrote it.

MADE EASY COMPREHENSION FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMS

I can’t remember much of the night when you kissed me and made me feel that it was going to last forever. However, that kiss made you top my selection list, you got straight A. The summer mosquitoes and the unfailing tangy smell of the garbage around made the young lover in us realise that we are indeed romancing in a developing country. Do you remember the way Auntyjis and Unclejis stared at us with a condescending look?  Indeed, they were jealous for we were fast learners unlike them; they were born to irritate the Director with 1000 imperfect shots. But, tonight I am all alone on the bridge where you kissed me for the first time. The number of mosquitoes has increased, the smell is stronger than usual, Auntyjis and Unclejis are minding their own business, maybe they are more interested in addition than subtraction. The barking of the dog has become louder than expected; wait a minute, where did the dog come from?

                                       Question: What is the crux of the passage?

            a.   Romance is difficult in a developing country

            b. Older generations do not know what romance is.

            c. The author is comparing her lost love to a barking dog.

            d.  The author wants to show the complexities of love, hence ended the passage in an interrogative note.

POULTRY ROMANCE

What is a 'poultry romance'?

That an ambivert girl like me can never like a shy guy like you. 

That a shy guy like you can never confess your fondness for me.

That a cautious girl like me can never tell a lonely guy like you that she is single. 

That a lonely guy like you can never tell me that all this while you were waiting for me. 

That I am stubborn to admit, but I do feel …what you feel.
