Book Review : Everything I Never Told You ( JustMyThoughts)

 Everything I Never Told You

                       -By Ajay Pandey

Everything I Never Told You is a novel tracing the whole journey of Roshan convincing  his son to support him to marry Soha, after his wife, Manisha died due to cancer . The major reason of his denial is his thought that Soha, who is a leading Gynecologist was waiting for his mother to die to marry his father. Roshan and Soha had been friends since the early childhood and had fallen in love eventually. Yet, the reason they couldn't marry , was the differences in their religion. Roshan first had to talk to Soha's father and 18 years later , to his own son. With no choice left, Roshan decided to marry Manisha, who was his parents' choice yet Soha didn't marry anyone. Alisha, who is Manisha's sister thinks that the reason of Soha not marrying is in her intentions of acclaiming the land of Roshan ( and Anuj, Roshan and Manisha's  almost-18-year old son ) to expand her clinic.  Different characters had their own reasons to be against the relationship of Roshan and Soha. 

( from google images ).


On his 18th birthday, Anuj receives a few letters from his dad, which were written by his mom when he was sick. Anuj follows everything written in the letters even after knowing the truth about the letters. Gagan, Anuj's best friend helps him in accomplishing what the letters unfolded. After completing the whole cascade of tasks, he can see the difference in him. Yet, Alisha is still stubborn to be against Roshan-Soha marrying and tries to convince Anuj of her reasons. 

After so many people wilh so many reasons to be against, just one thing keeps Roshan and Soha together, their love for each other. Roshan is still not ready to give up on the relationship they had. 

The whole books traces what it takes to be together when the whole world is against your relationship. Also, it talks about the concept of God, Religion and  religious practices to much detail and allows one to come to a conclusion.

Grab on the book to know if Anuj was convinced for the relationship or not ! 

To me, the book was a great read and efore reading, I didn't expect it to be on enveloped with the concept of God and religion.yeah, it's just Just A Romantic Read ! Yet, the whole journey came up with several realizations and you'll know some history about  religion practices.  How little does it matter to be judgemental about relationships and what you feel for someone based on these grounds, like religion, Caste or race.

The end will be surprising.

Get hooked, Happy reading.


Thank You.

ANU.

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...
