Girl knows guy won&#8217;t give a hoot for her feelings. Girl becomes tortured lover.<br \/>\nGuy teases another guy about having deep feelings for Girl.<\/p>\n<p>Umm, wait, this is getting confusing. Let me start out by giving my own names to the characters involved. Just remember, all of this is true, and it <i>really<\/i> happened. <\/p>\n<p>Kareena loves Akshay. Akshay couldn&#8217;t care less for what Kareena feels. (He&#8217;s a c00l d00d.) Kareena is tortured by thoughts for Akshay day in and out.<\/p>\n<p>Akshay and the others in &#8220;the gang&#8221; teases Suneil about having deep feelings for Kareina. No-one knows what Suneil thinks, though.<\/p>\n<p>Two guys named Abhishek and Hrithik fall for Kareena. Abhishek goes to town swearing undying love for you-know-who. Hrithik decides to bide his time.<\/p>\n<p>Kareena&#8217;s best friends Amisha and Preity are the only person who know her secret feelings. Unbeknownst to all, Amisha herself has deep (cough cough) feelings for Akshay.<\/p>\n<p>Preity has deep (cough cough cough) feelings for Hrithik. She decides to get closer to him through a close friend of his, named Johnny Mnemonic. <\/p>\n<p>Preity and Johnny (nice ring to it, eh?) get close, and both of them end up telling deep ( insert four coughs here) secrets to each other. One of them happens to be that Kareena loves Akshay.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny, like I said, is close to Hrithik. He happens to mention to the latter that Kareena has deep( ignore! ignore! ignore!)  feelings for <i>some<\/i> guy in the class. Hrithik informs all people concerned (plus a lot more) about this latest revelation. A lot of phone-calls later, Johnny spills the beans to Hrithik. But only after H has promised Johnny that he&#8217;s not the least bit interested in K; he has deep feelings for Amisha. <\/p>\n<p>Preity realises, with horror, tat her plan has backfired! Hrithik is no longer hers, he belongs heart and soul to Amisha. At least that&#8217;s what Johnny tells her. &#8220;Thou be good-for-nothing rascapallion&#8221;, she informs Johnny. &#8220;I bid thee adieu.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Johnny also has this grand idea of getting all those deep-feelingwallahs together. In Rome, they call this kind of an idea &#8220;playing Cupid&#8221;. In India, they <i>don&#8217;t<\/i> call it &#8220;playing Kama&#8221;. They call it &#8220;getting yourself in deep shit&#8221;. Johnny liked to pretend he was a Roman, and so&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny goes and informs Amisha about Hrithik&#8217;s starry-eyed and , yeah, deep, feelings for her. Amisha is flattered. Hrithik and Amisha start hanging around together. They are officially hooked up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Abhishek ( remember? ) has the bright idea of unburdening his deep feelings to Kareena. He proceeds to do so, and of course, a two-letter word that starts with &#8216;N&#8217; and ends with &#8216;O&#8217; comes floating his way. In caps and bold.<\/p>\n<p>Kareena is worried. She has broken a heart. She understands what pain is. She ( with Amisha in tow, for moral support ) comes to Johnny ( a guy who plays Cupid and hence, has a record of being the kind-of-guy who would interfere in others&#8217; affairs ) and asks for moral deliverance.<\/p>\n<p>Abhishek decides ( on the basis of the same record as stated above ) that Johnny would be the right guy to handle his sorrowful state of affairs. Johnny manages to stammer a few words of encouragement (&#8220;duh, duh, duh&#8221;) and proceeds to shoot himself. Well, not exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Preity decides to go around town declaring that Hrithik is &#8230;well&#8230;.something unmentionable. Kareena declares a state of mourning, and avoids civilized life altogether. Akshay carries on teasing Suneil about Kareena, though nobody cares anymore. Maybe Suneil does, but he doesn&#8217;t seem to care. Abhishek generally mopes around<\/p>\n<p><i>Four years later&#8230;&#8230;..<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Amisha and Kareena are no longer friends. That&#8217;s because (a) Amisha has found a better guy than Hrithik. She met this incredible  hunk on a train and he swept her away. (b) Kareena realised that she was actually <i>not<\/i> in love with Akshay, but with Hrithik instead. Hence she moved in for the kill, right after Amisha.<br \/>\nHrithik in turn declared that he had deep feelings  for Kareena since the time he met her, and well, Amisha was out of his life, and that was that.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny Mnemonic has taken on the identity of a vainglorious bounty hunter named beatzo, who at various intervals of time, looks back at a previous life with wonder, disdain, and a lot of laughter. He doesn&#8217;t know and he doesn&#8217;t care what happened to the rest of the story.<\/p>\n<p>The moral of the whole shebang: When beatzo doesn&#8217;t have work, he should stay away from Livejournal. <\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t make any sense, I know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
