When Eyes Speak......Part 1: East Vs West

When Eyes Speak……As the title indicates, this is a light hearted romantic story…..

Disclaimer: All the characters, places and incidents are purely imaginary…nothing relates to reality…..

Let me introduce the main lead characters of the story…….

Abhilasha, fondly called as Abhi by her closest friends is a oceanologist…..she works and also does her research works in the National Oceanography center, Southampton……..Her parents are settled in London…..
She is the only daughter of the family and so the most pampered one too…..the darling little sister to the elder brothers who dote on her…..

The only reason for her moving away from them was her passion for the work she does…The deep blue ocean always enchanted her….as a kid, she always wanted to explore and unravel the mysteries hidden within it…..It was a dream come true when she completed her masters in ocean life sciences in flying colors…..She also started doing her PHD when she got selected as Junior Marine biologist in the center……..Her family didn’t stop her as they knew that her happiness lay there……….
Though she wasn’t happy about living away from the family, she was firm in her decisions and career ambitions……she joined the job………

Another passion of her life was dance……If not for the oceans, she would have become a dancer…….She loved dancing……Happiness, sorrow or loneliness, dance always came in handy for her…….

She strongly believes in love but she is yet to find the love of her life...she hadn’t met anyone who could sweep her off her feet……..she always had the idea that if someone was made for her, then she would find him herself or he would find her some day…..she felt that she would know that this is the guy whenever she meets him……The girl with the right blend of beauty and brains was a little dreamy in this one aspect…….though her logical intellectual side knew that this was rather cliched, her heart always vouched for love…..

She wasn’t interested in the proposals put forth by her family…..She rejected them saying that this wasn’t the way she wanted a life partner……She strongly believed that a life partner, a soul mate could never be arranged……Her family was open to her finding her partner but they were a bit anxious as years were flying away…….

He lives with his family comprising of 2 elder brothers and a sister……The brothers are married and are well settled….the sister who is the youngest is in college……She is doing her 2nd year medicine……

Love or marriage thoughts aren’t anywhere in his agenda now…..His only goal as of now is to stabilize his career…….And even when the time comes, he would prefer his parents finding his bride………..Basically he is just not interested in a love marriage or rather he hasn’t thought on those lines so far……
