I too had a Love Story....!!

Hmmm the title... Does it sound like I am suffering from some Post- Valentine Syndrome..where in seeing all the happy couples around and love being in the air, I am sad and thinking of my own good times....???

Naaa... It is nothing of that sort.. This is the title of the Book I read this week and it was so, so, so good that I just could not stop from writing about it here...!!!

I happened to just find this book incidentally and it was not very big in size so I thought I would take it and complete reading it soon...(These days...I am hardly finding any time to read real, big novels..!!! :| ) So I got the book and started reading...

And once I started, I found the book to be really a very nice piece of work..The language so simple, the characters described so perfectly that I could imagine the whole story in front of my eyes. Turning pages by pages, I would always wait for what next now...!!! The whole story being set in the present day Indian background, it was so easy to identify with the characters , their behaviour, they way they spoke, the moods...Everything, everything so simple and catchy..!!

The story is really nice and after reading the book,I found that it was true and not fiction.. That was really shocking because the story does not have a happy ending as love stories do have...!! The author Ravinder Singh has really created magic in those 200 pages of the book... A story which I will really never forget.... The feelings, emotions of falling in Love described in the book are so wonderful that after reading it I am just thinking - I too wanna have a Love Story..!!!! ;) :)


P.S. : - I have never written book any reviews and this post is also not meant for that. I just wanted to write about the book because I liked it a lot.. It is a best seller but I am surprised I had never heard of the book before i read it.... But if you like love stories and you find this book, do read it .. I am sure you would like it...!! : )

3 Idiots, Damini's Take (Part - 2)

Part - 1 Our school practised the policy of "Divide and Rule" ... Yes, they shuffled our divisions for our secondary classes but we were of course the students of the same school and we followed our own policy of "United we stand "... This in turn , led to "Divide and Unite..." Sounds strange naaa ?? but that is what happened with me. I became Binal's friend. Though I knew her and Urvashi earlier, we did not speak much. Now, as things turned out to be, I also became their friend and we met everyday during our breaks discussing tales of both the class rooms. Everyone had new friends and their old set of friends too.. So, in a sense, our groups started growing with us..... Then we all joined up the same classes for our SSC and that was one of the best times of my life, spent with my friends. Ours became a group of 5 eventually who always sat together, studied together and partied together... Yes those were the initial years when we started to celeb...

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . "Yeah pink colour suits you. Buy that saree..." Mom finalised for me. "I had liked that one only from the beginning. ?I'll buy that one only..." & I turned to the shopkeeper. "Bhaiya yeh pack kar dena...." "Haan madam, this colour is perfect for you. Diwali ke din aap khub chamkengi..!!" "Arey, it's not for Diwali.. It is for my reception after Diwali..." "Ohhh... Shopping for marriage.... So Madam, buy more... This would be your last Diwali at home..??!!!" the shopkeeper questioned. I nodded but the enthusiasm of shopping vanished. Every time I try to come out of that mood , something or other pops up to remind me of my last days...... I begin to feel low on hearing the word "Last...

For the first time...

That night, she was very very tired but when she lied down on bed, she just could not sleep.. All the scenes from the day flashed by her eyes... One day.. And so many things in her life had changed... She recollected a dialogue fro ma movie "Life mein bahut saari cheezein pehli baar hoti hai..." For the first time... She had lied at home while going out... For the first time... She got the biggest surprise when she knew that he had got a new bike... For the first time... She sat on the bike with fear but was confident that he would take care of her.. For the first time... She roamed around places, where though she had been earlier, seemed entirely different and new that day... For the first time... She felt like talking and talking as someone was listening to her with a smile.. For the first time... She walked barefoot on the rocks as the water kissed her feet... For the first time... When she was about to lose her balance, someone was there to hold her hand... For the first ...
