Series: Unveiling Geeta- A Journey through Pain and Redemption by Nalin Verma (Part 1)

In this series, Nalin Verma captures the poignancy of relationships and how love can make one hopeful despite being hopeless.

My first encounter with Rohan was at a prize distribution ceremony in a school in Patna. I was the judge who had assessed his literary prowess in a story writing competition but had not seen him until he came on the dais to receive his trophy. The handsome fourteen-year-old boy wore a white shirt, blue shorts, and black shoes – his usual school uniform, but what caught my instant attention was his lips and those dimples on his cheeks.

I had been looking for these lips and dimples for over thirty years without any success. Rohan’s were strikingly similar to what I had been waiting and dying to see all these years.
