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.

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...

  I can stare at the sky and think about literally everything that’s there, be it connecting the dots of my past happenings that got me to the stage I am. While thinking about it, I feel as if I am narrating my favorite experiences to my long-gone friend. I jump from one experience to another, losing the chain of the story and eventually getting back from where I started. I think about the most practical things I can see in my future and what I’ll need to do for it. At times, I land up making alternate possibilities of how things might have turned out if I had made choices a little different from what I actually did. Sometimes, when I don’t want to think about anything in particular, I get my earphones and enjoy the music and the peace in me with the quiet of the night. Without anything to listen, my head will always be filled with something or the other. So yeah, that works sometimes. I see aeroplanes occasionally. They lit me up. Memories. Dreams. Possibilities. In these da...
