Poles Apart

Two Different Worlds

Vaishnavi and Rohini, two siblings, with two different mindesets. Both of them, though of the same age, were poles apart in their attitude, perspective and thoughts. While Vaishnavi was a mature, shy, well behaved and a soft at heart person, Rohini on the other hand, was quite immature, outspoken and even selfish at times. She had a perfect figure and a photogenic face with amazing features. Vaishnavi too looked sweet and beautiful but even without makeup unlike Rohini who never stepped out without putting on tons of makeup. She wore specks which was always Rohini's topic of making fun of Vaishnavi. Vaishnavi beleived in keeping it real meanwhile Rohini was really fake in all aspects most of the times.

Rohini and Vaishnavi's rooms were like 2 different worlds under the same roof. Rohini being an aspiring model, had fashion magazines and pictures from her shoots more than she had her college books. Her room had posters of celebrities, branded clothes meanwhile Vaishnavi's room clearly spoke that she wanted to be a writer. Her room was filled with books and journals. She had a vision board on her wall and wished to publish her journal someday which she had been writing since the past 1 year.

"Both of you will surely get late for college today!" shouted their mother.

"I'm coming mom!" replied Rohini.

Vaishnavi and Rohini both came out of their rooms. Both of them studied in Delhi's topmost college,'St. Stiffins', but in different departments, Vaishnavi in the English department, while Rohini in the Acting and Dramatics department.

Before leaving, both of them went to the frame of their late father to seek his blessings. "It's the first day of our college. A new journey, grant your blessings!" Vaishnavi said. Rohini shouted from the back, "Bless me more dad!"

They both left. On reaching college, they got a glimpse of what the outside world actually looks like. Teenagers making friends, having fun, though some seemed nervous like Vaishnavi, some were even enjoying the first day of college like Rohini. She went for her drama class. On entering the class, she noticed a handsome guy sitting on the front bench. She immediately got attracted to his looks and went on to talk to him. Though, Rohini hated sitting on the first bench, still she could not help asking,

"Hi! May i sit beside you?"

"Yeah sure!"

"Btw, i am Rohini!"

"Oh! Nice name, I'm Rohan! Nice to meet you!"

Even Rohan started getting attracted towards Rohini's style and her modern personality. Her seductive eyes and a perfect face, added on to his growing feelings for her. "Love at first sight is a real thing." murmured Rohan.

Both of them found each other attractive. That was a pulling factor for them towards each other.

"Good morning students!...."

The drama class began.

On the other hand, Vaishnavi was sitting alone on the first bench in her english class and was busy taking down notes.

After the class, Rohini went to Vaishnavi's class to see if she was done with her english lectures or not. The class was empty. Only a journal was kept on the first bench. Rohini immediately realized that it was Vaishnavi's journal coz she had seen it about a thousand times in Vaishnavi's room and the fact that the diary (journal) was kept on the first bench made her more sure that it was her 'topper' sisiter's diary. She took it and put it inside her bag with the intention of giving it back to Vaishnavi coz she knew very well that her sister's world would turn upside down without that diary.
