Book review: I Too Had A Love Story

Days pass by somehow
But the nights are in wagon of pain
            Injuries may heal with time
            But marks will always remain
Restless on my comfortable bed
I toss and turn and try to sleep but thoughts are bulking my head
            And have formed a huge heap
            The past is flashing its scorching light beams
Tearing me apart,breaking me at the dark and now I am trying my heart to speak this way....


Starting prose piece.......
__________________________________________________________
         When I first took this book in hand as it was forwarded by one of my freinds.She(shelly) claims this book as one of her favourites, on the cover it was written ‘a true love tale’.While opened the starting pages my eyes got stuck on the prose on the left of the first chapter. I went through it couple of times after interpreting I started visualizing the story, I wanted to go further but the ambiance didn’t allow me to switch to the chapter. The only thing I was left with was curiosity. The curiosity for knowing the story of this book. As soon as classes ended I landed directly on my bed, took the book in hand everything seemed perfect for reading but still aura was missing, it was the cup of coffee that was making the difference but still the curiosity of reading the story overruled the addiction for caffeine and I started reading.

          In the starting story was revolving about the friends and their Reunion and off course the most and obvious talk when friends meet is “GIRLFRIENDS”. ‘Lucky they were as they had none’…lol. Jokes apart but the story justifies the line. Then friends take the initiative for searching their soulmate as none of them wanted to go for an arranged marriage and they decide to take the help of internet. And then the second chapter titled ‘Khushi’ obviously she is the one for whom the book is written, if it’s a true tale. The writer and Khushi’s lover ‘Ravin’ (Ravinder Singh) meets khushi on a matrimonial site and their interaction grew up by regular chat, messeges ,calls and they fall for each other. It was a tech savvy story usually the conditions of this type of story is more like ‘present perfect’ and ‘future tense’ but the words and the emotional touch took the book to ‘future continous’ after going through the couple of chapters I was totally into the book and I was enjoying every part of it. I could taste the amalgam forming by the dust of pages and the saliva but i hardly bothered..
           It was a ‘HARD-WIRED’ love story, they had totally fallen for each other but still hadn’t seen each other then the course followed regular love story introduced families that too hard-wired. Finally Ravin had to go to States(USA) and decided to go via delhi to meetup the user(khushi). When they finally meet up in airport a beautiful prose followed…..


I looked, and my eyes were stuck on you
I tried hard to move the black in them but they were stuck like glue
           Looking at you for real, I noticed your eyes
          That’s exactly where you entire beauty lies
So genuine, so honest, so beautiful, so deep
With a glint of light, some naughtiness did creep

           Finding my dream coming true

          I pleaded my shivering lips to bring out the words I had kept for you

There were so many things to say

I can remember none of them at all
But, I don’t lose with that, I do things my own way……

         After having a meet Ravin goes abroad and during this they plan for engagement and they are both happy for finding their ideal soulmate……..And then the climax after the return of the Ravin they(family and couple) select the engagement date as 14 feb. Preparations from both the families start for the day,things were going normal. Then came a new chapter ‘The unexpected’. In this chapter khushi meets an accident and finally dies. If we dictate this story to some one it will seem a perfect filmii masaala but the magic of emotional touch lies in the words written by the ravin..

Recalling something about her, you happen to laugh and in no time.some time even as you laugh,you end with tasting you own tears.

              I don’t know why but whenever I read something that touches the string’s of my emotions my mind starts relating things with my own-story and a guilt starts gaining its strength a guilt that makes me the feel the pain of being a character in the book or somehow leads to the formation of a new story that’s unique in itself and that has suitably found a comparison.
             The book ended soon than expected, the story was great and I wasn’t able to resist myself from sending msg of thanks to my friend after all it was an amazing experience. After waking up that morning I could feel my state still in the pool of emotions. The magic was evident my mind was recollecting the words by author ,in a poignant mood the day kicked off, after few hours things were normal and then ‘the rest became history’………………..
