First of all a disclaimer. I am sure that there are devious minds in my audience who will immediately ascribe the scenes described below to me. They are requested to kindly resist the temptation failing which they might be made aware of an uncomfortable sensation in the nether regions of their physiology.

Our hero, Hamesha Romeo goes to college and promptly falls in love with Pehli Juliet. He blithely proposes to her when she piously informs him that she is committed to someone else and thus Romeo is heartbroken.

A few days pass and he falls in love with Dwitiya Juliet. He confides his love to a friend who assures him that she knows for a fact that Dwitiya is also committed.

Now our hero begins hating the word committed. He is confused as to why the English language uses the same word to describe a person admitted to a psychiatric care institution (aka mental hospital) and also to describe a person in a relationship with another human being (of either the opposite or the same sex).

Along comes Tritiya and our hero once again loses his heart (the mind was missing in the first place). He proposes to her and she tells him with a shocked expression that she felt they were only friends. This incident, my friends gave rise to Romeo's habit of occasionally banging his head against the nearest wall that he is notorious for.

After a few months Hamesha is mad about Chaturthi Juliet but she resists all his advances to the maximum extent possible and refuses to acknowledge the very existence of our hero.

Now Romeo is enraged. He had decided long back that he would marry only out of love and that arranged marriage was below his dignity. So now he decides that he shall no longer pay any attention to any girl from his college.

Now his thought process goes along these lines. Ahha, he is single and free to mingle! The world shall be his hunting ground! Okay, the world is a little beyond his scope. India shall be his hunting ground. But wait, he can't leave this city. This city shall be his area of pursuit. Oh God, he does not have time to go to the nearby market. He shall have to restrict himself to his college.

Ah, finally a target market! Now he shall concentrate on a consumer. After market research, focus group discussions and expert interviews the final target consumer who is single and meets his criteria turns out to be Chaturthi. But wait, why is this name familiar? Scenes of scornful laughter and happy ignoring fill his mind as he is reminded of Chaturthi.

The last we saw of our hero, Hamesha Romeo, he was running for a rope.
