Book : The One You Cannot Have

I completed my reading of the novel "The One You Cannot Have" by Preeti Shenoy.

I really loved the story and narration.

Than "The Secret Wishlist", I like this now.

Story was really interesting, and narration takes us to turn pages unknowingly. This may be too much. But this is what I felt.

I personally like if any character of a story is either writer or journalist .. I really don't know why..

Story goes like this: Aman and Shruthi loved each other. Time makes them not to marry. Shruthi has married to Rishabh because of her situation.

They both struggle with the pain, even though they continue to go on and work.

After 2 years of enough struggle, Aman makes a move towards Anjali who is a journalist ( This was the character I completely loved in this story ). Aman decides to move on with Anjali, he happened to meet Shruthi. And what he decides is the climax...

It was amazing.. I wanted the same decision by Aman at the end...

Really nice...

I wanted to mention one thing..

Yesterday night ( It was midnight ), I was reading the book.. I was about to complete.. By reading the below sentence I started laughing...

Then my husband asked me and I told him to read and we both burst into laugh...

When a woman says, "There is something to talk about" you only have two options.

1. Tuck your tail between your legs and run as fast as you can.

I am not going to tell the second option, read in the novel... :-)




My husband told that he is agreeing with both the points :-)

I liked the articles written by Anjali ( Preeti's thoughts )..

Totally worth reading story...

Thank you Preeti for this nice book...

Whatever I am writing is not a review and its only my emotions...

Enjoy...

Happy week end!!!

who has to decide about having children?

I am reading the book "The One You Cannot Have"

Actually why I wanted to write this post in between you know?

For about 2-3 weeks I am having the same feeling that Shruthi ( A character in the novel ) has in having own children.

I have got this question from all the end "Any Good News?" which I hate to hear.. And this is what I am replying to everyone "If at all something is there, I will definitely inform you"

I really don't understand why people will interfere in others' personal things which is really personal.

They are telling Indian culture is conservative.. Is it?

This is something like asking, "Have you had sex yet or not?" and this is what I interpret to, whenever somebody asks about that Good news.

Don't they feel shame in asking this? What is the solution they are going to provide if I do or don't get conceived..

I am really feeling irritated if someone asks about this, be it my mom or my in-laws...

Is that the only duty a girl has after marriage? She is not having anything else to achieve in her life?

After all, If she wants baby, that is she, who has to decide on that... How can we go for having a baby for someone else?

I hate all the people who asks me about this good news..

Till Marriage they will ask, When is the marriage.. Then immediately they will ask "When is the kid?"

Is that all life about?

I do like kids.. But I have to plan when i have to get it na?

Please don't ask anyone like this... It may hurt them..

Kinder Garten Teachers are Really Great..

Yesterday I had NTT class..Where in we had to teach a rhyme and story to kids..
We had to bring the teaching aids also..
One thing that I understood is, it is really very difficult to make the kids to listen some thing that you are telling..
It is easy to teach the grown up pupil and not for the kindergarten..

I really wondered that some people put so much efforts on that.. They danced, they were running here and there with rhymes..
They were making sounds like Lion, Tiger, Goat etc to narrate stories..
They might have struggled a lot to bring the interesting aids to teach..
We can't take this as a simple occupation like anything else..This takes real efforts.. Real interest... Some times pain too..
But all the teachers enjoy doing it...
Kudos to all kindergarten teachers... ( I will be one among them in future.. :-) )
Happy Week ahead!!!

Enjoy every moment of life...
