Book Review: Life is What You Make it(JustMyThoughts)

 Life is What You Make it

           - By Preeti Shenoy (Author)


(Have you guys ever felt sad for no reason at all. Talking helps , guys. Do not let this sadness get built inside you. Do talk to at least 1 bestie friend you feel that you can confide in. If you have more than one trustable one to confide, you are a lucky Chap.)

                   (From google images)


Getting to the book, the protagonist Ankita is a young girl entering college, an interesting and enthusiasm-filled  stage . The story deals with her relationships during school, her undergraduate college and later , in her MBA college. The things keep on making and breaking, which leads Ankita is a very delusional stage/situation.

She starts to suffer from Depression, where the cause wasn't clear.She feels lost to a very gar extent that she attempts to take her own life.

There are many instance describing her and her family's encounter with psychiatrist and her struggles dealing with doctors and the people around her. Albeit everything, Ankita tries and definitely succeeds in recovering , to be back to  normal. It's all about her struggles to make her life what she wanted it to be. 

The  book also deals a bit-much about Bipolar disorder and how sensitive the cases and situations might be. The extreme highs and the extreme lows experience by the people suffering from it.

The book has been written  by Preeti Shenoy. I like her writing style. It is simpler yet  at some stages, I did doubt my vocabulary. It's interesting to focus upon the language/ writing way.

Stuck in or settling in ?

Things have been pretty blank these days. Since I am an intern, the only people I am answerable to, are my seniors at work (and this transition from being in a bunch of people of the same group to working is fairly new to me). The work timings depend, on department to department, from unit to unit and within weekdays too. Currently I am at a calmer place so I do not have anything major to worry about. Things will be changing from next week, for the next 6 weeks, about which I have no idea. I’ll get clarity on the coming Tuesday. Coming back to the blank, with lesser hectic days, most of my time is spent lying on the sofa, scrolling through my favourite youtubers’ content, anything I would like to shop on and adding them to the bag and never with an intent of actually buying them. When not scrolling, I will either watch a movie or read a novel or hear them on audiobook apps. The loops never seem to end. When I realise that I have time at my hand and I have nothing to do, I go online se...

Escaping, but from whom?

It's a quite place which I always claimed will make me most productive.  And now that I am here, I occasionally get lost in my thoughts, which is basically about all the issues I am surrounded with. While at home,  I was constantly in search of emptiness, a room where no one ones what am I doing, judge whether what I am doing would actully help me make my future better, to validate the feelings I express. I used to just sleep or try to study in a room locked from inside where most of the time was spent crying till I am too exhausted to do nothing more than needed, sorting what went wrong and hiding from everyone around. I have been there before and after attempts of moving on, the things are back again , right in front of me. Everytime it happens, it leave a hollowness inside which doesn't really fills up. It gets deeper, progressively. I have been shrinking out socially and hasn't been a serious bother since the ones I have to keep with me, are with me.  The previous tim...

The Abundant Room Upstairs, No One is Allowed to enter! #1

There is an old brown dusty chair that sits in the abandoned room upstairs. I didn’t figure out who does it belongs to yet we, the family who resides here on rental basis, are forbidden for using it. Mamma says that we must not enter the room, at any cost. Yet, I trespassed this boundary yesterday, when my dearest cat went upstairs, like she usually does. I didn’t ponder upon this fact as Cookie has her favorite place to sleep upstairs. But upon her no appearing back even after opening up of its favorite food (cats are very strong at detecting smell), a doubt arose. I waited for a few more minutes and when my expectations failed too, I decided to go upstairs and check. The forbidden room was at left, so I went forward and checked the room on the right side. “Cookie” I called out. No response. I called out again, twice, yet the result was just as the first time, that is no response again. I had the bowl of cat food in my hand, whose presence would have been hard to go unnoticed, given...
