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.

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...
