Book Review: Someone Like You (JustMyThoughts)

 Someone Like You

      -  by Nikita Singh and Durjoy Dutta (Authors)


“Someone like you” written by Nikita Singh and Durjoy Dutta

is a college-life romantic novel.

The story starts with its protagonist Niharika, a girl picturized

as nerd initially and a Stay-away kind of girl who ends up

falling in love.

                                                ( from Google Images)


When ignorant about love, its hard for a person to

differentiate between love and lust or the right person from

the wrong one. The people who appear to be caring are the

ones causing bad -luck which gets ignored in the name of

‘trust’ on that person where as the person who actually cares

is usually left unnoticed.

The book develops in the reader some encouragement for

football as it comprises of the major part of the novel. The

book forms its plot in an Engineering college whose football

team’s fate gets completely changed on arrival of some

junior players one of whom is guided by person-not-in-team.

The novel presents the transformation journey of Niharika

through various roads including that of loss of friend,

unwinding the cause of loss and moving on from the loss.

Written in simple language its going to be a simple read and

its connectivity to readers keep them turned on until the end.

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...
