Ansh Malhotra and Roshni
Chopra are two candidates nominated for the President’s awards this
year for the exemplary work they have done in their respective fields. Both of
them are startled to see each other’s name in the list and are busy conspiring
ways to skip this prestigious award. This list has left them in double minds as
confused souls who are having sleepless nights as the D day arrives closer.

Treasured Ardor
is the saga of two soul-mates who are mad for each other but are not made for
each other. They meet online and fall in love only to realize it is not meant
to be. They part ways amicably and continue their lives thinking it was a dream
which can never come true.
They are happy and contended in their
current lives but deep inside them the embers of those feelings refuse to die.
Though one does not know where the other is, but it is this warmth which keeps
them going through the lowest phases of their lives.
They have resigned to their fates and
have quietly buried any remnants of that time deep inside their soul. Until one
day when life gives them a chance- a chance to meet. Will they?

I strongly believed soul mates don’t
exist in real lives. They exist only in
novels and fairy tale romances. In real life there is a He and a She who come
together in agreement for a peaceful co-existence so that they can continue
their lives. Undying love does not exist. What exists is an attraction / like
which turns into love and then lust. Gradually that also evaporates and what
remains is the mutual need to be together; sometimes for the society, sometimes
for emotional comfort and sometimes just for the heck of it. After having
experienced and witnessed a series of heartbreaks, this was the only thing that
came to my mind when I thought about love. Till the time I met Roshni. That
moment I knew their story had to be told. The magical secrets our souls seem to
carry surely mystify each one of us. And imagine finding a soul who knows
exactly what you are feeling and hears even your unspoken without even meeting
you.
In today's world where everything is
virtual - friendship, hugs, kisses, condolences, care - here is a virtual
love story which starts on Facebook moves to SMSes with flames so intense that
it burns down the computer screen to engulf two souls completely. They have the
choice of either letting it perish them or cherish this experience and move on
in life. Given the circumstances moving on seems to be the best choice; till
destiny decides to play the game changer.
