Book Review: Something I Never Told You (JustMyThoughts)

 Something I Never Told You

          -By Shravya Binder (Author)


Something I Never Told You is a novel by Shravya Binder. It is narrated by Raunak ( since people think it wasnt a great name, the  narrator called himself Ronnie ) who falls in love with the girl Adira ,who is staying aa a PG at his Nani's place and the story thereafter.

The best thing that holds a grip of you is the way it has been laid to read. The emotions are described in a so great way. Language is a way to put your feelings into words, right.!?.. You could see that happening in this one. The expressions written were so real , I felt that I could not leave the book ( Guys, I was not up to reading romance but I just couldn't leave this one, after I read The prologue and The Present.)

The tale is about his journey to win over her  and ultimately lose her in a way that he can never come back to her.  I see the story as a tale from heart and regret for all that happened. The fact that it is based on a true story is even heart-shattering.

It's easy to be in love, hard to keep it up.

The story starts when Ronnie has a  argument with the Auto-wallah in morning,  when he us late for a meeting with a new manager, not forgetting to mention that he is a fresher and and knows nothing about working . The story has a great India  feeling as the little things through out the novel when  makes you giggle at time yet , the unexpected end would be devastating.

Do let me know what you think about the book .

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...

Fading in, Fading Out

  I fade in and out of my thoughts. I oscillate between the thoughts snatching my attention and later, liberating me to drift back to the soothing sleep which says that nothing else matters. My thought leaves my side when my sleep drifts me away with it and I come back to my never-ceasing-to-think brain with another dream. Everyone else in the home is asleep in their own imaginatory world that belongs just, just to them. As I open my eyes, nothing is visible to me. Darkness engulfs everything. No even ones shadow is spared from it. I open the window a bit more, to let in the moonlight shining and dancing outside. It enlightens the room a bit but not all the nook and corners of it. Stepping out from the bed, I turned on a little torch and searched for mirrors (I couldn’t turn on the lights as I don’t want to break the spell casted in the moment by the night).Now, by placing the mirrors the way I want them to be , I could direct the moonlight to the place I want it to glimmer arounds...

I have the same sequence of thoughts. I think about work, what is it taking out of me and where will it take me, and during the process, I'll either end up scrolling or sleeping, expressing my mental physical tiredness. I don't know how my friends are managing this internship and taking out consistent time to study and prepare for the competitive exams and with their instagram stories revealing that they are not missing out on fun! And, about the internship- I try to finish the tasks I have been given; I try to do a little more, learn a little more, try something beyond the regular stuff till the time I am tired. I try imagining where exactly, out of the places I have been posted, would I like to be working. but till now, I have not been able to reach to a conclusion. Give me a few free hours and I will either sleep or read novels. Recently the latest books I have read are- The Bastard of Istanbul , The –Perfect– Marriage and right now, its Girls Burn Brighter - all these nove...
