Book review: Cant Quarantine Our Love ( JustMyThoughts)

 CAN'T QUARANTINE OUR LOVE 

         _ By Sudeep Nagarkar


Can't quarantine Our Love is a sweet and emotional novel which  traces the budding of love between Avni and Sidhart, the two main protagonists of the story. The story happens to take place in the 4 year of Engineering college which they attend. Well,  the whole thing wasnt easy and it is never that easy to accomplish all the dreams , be it in the professional life or personal life. Nevertheless, both Avni and Sidharth leave no stone unturned to support each other in the time of need. 

The novel had been penned down by Sudeep Nagarkar and this gives the novel the Indian touch which, I personally connect very well to. There are always little lifestyle things we find ourselves familiar with and that makes me more glued to the story. I mean it isn't fun unless you have to sneak out from the whole world to accomplish your little celebration mission.

Talking about the characters, 

We have Avni, the studious and focused girl who is very close to her family and believes in perfection. She do not have great notions of Love initially, but we do see her transform to a girl who is free to pursue her choices. Avni's parents have fun-loving people who want their daught to be carefree,  not-stressed due to academics and if yes, Date.! Also, Avni is very close to her Nani who was  eventually taken away from her 

Next we have Sidhart Shah, who is shifted to Mumbai from Surat and is determined to have good grades and excel. He lives with his grandfather, his Nana and his mother. Having struggled and sacrificed a lot , Sidharth's mother want him to study and be focused, and not give into the wilderness of the world.

We have Bani and Sonal who are all classmates of Avni and Sidharth and they establish a good friendship bond over the college years. They have a major role in helping Avni and Sidharth to be there for each other.

There are a few incidents in the novel which makes your heart melt. I too, wished if we can experience these in our lifetimes. Some of them included the visit to Happy Club, having careless time and fun with friends ( even if that demands you to lie to parents to go to Goa trip instead of an Educational venture). 


The ending  10 pages are heart wrenching. When I was at the page from where 10 were left the finish the story , I thought why go forward when the whole story has gone good , happy and it's going to end in a cheerful way. And the next page, we find-

"the fate had other plans for them " 

and then we are again gripped back to the story. The end is heart breaking but what's more heart breaking than forever separation of 2 lives which were once intertwined unseprably. Things have their own fate and all we can do, is to extract the full essence of moments when you are with the people whom you love. It's wreaking to be away from the people who are the Best part of your life so yep, I concluded by saying Love the fullest to the people when you live in the moment with them.


The story was sweet, so naturally and connectable Indian with an easy reading style so yep, you may grab it if you are a beginner or prefer a book that could be finished in just 1 day.  Also, it could be grabbed by anyone who is wanting a sweet coffee- table read which is emotional   entertaining and touch you in its own simple way.

Last but not the least, the story has nothing to do with Covid-19 and people being Quarantine .so  just in case you wanted to know.

Thank you .

ANU.

That's the way I work!

 I exhaled the breath that was captured inside me, realizing that the person didn't intend to convey the news to me yet. I'll get my news.  I don't know how long that's going to take but my mind is beginning to take its troll. I just couldn't wait anymore!  Was the news even meant for me? I didn't know. All I knew was , being patient is the only option to patient.  I have been acting impulsively. Once I decide I want to finish off something, I'll do it anyway, without giving it a second thought. Once convinced, concider it's done. The whole efforts, are therefor, put into the Convincing process. It's freaking hard to convince me to do something. My friends often say, why do you think so much? Why are you so afraid of taking actions ? I don't think I am afraid or I take too much time deciding. It's just, i don't have an explanation for this. If my Gut feeling says I should do it, I'll do it or otherwise.  Following my own philosophies,...

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...

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...
