Anything for you ma'am [Tushar Raheja]

There were many reasons..due to which i picked up this book Anything for you ma'am from the library..

*Firstly..The title itself..Anything for you ma'am
 An IITian love story*
*Secondly..the writer..
Tushar Raheja..*
you actually expect me..to keep this book back..on the shelf..after looking at this name..??
*And..thirdly..it was a recommendation by a friend standing nearby*

Genre : fiction,comedy,romance

the book :

Tushar, a fourth year student, has written in his book about a Delhi-based boy Tejas who happens to be an IIT student and how he goes across the length of the country to Chennai to meet his love Shreya. He says that you know you are in love when you follow your heart and do anything that your heart commands you to do. In his first book `Anything For You Ma'am' he talks about the kind of hardships one has to face to meet his/her love. He says he has penned down the story in such a way that it would attract the reader..and indeed..it did.The magic is everywhere i turn my eyes.

In short..Its a story of a boy and a girl, their love, their hopes and despair afcourse, a story of small joys and big blunders. Yes, "Anything For You Ma'am" is a story of what a person would do for his/her love..and is a must read.

Age factor:

you wont believe..what i was discussing with one of my friends who has read this book..i said..whenever ill have a kid..after my marriage afcourse..the first thing thats likely to happen is..ill make him read this book..hehehehhe..why im sharing this is bacause..this book has no age limit..any kiddie..any granny..or anyone..you re happen to fall in tushar's lovely style of writing..it just..says so much yet nothing...

Gifting ideas:

Honestly..the word i want to use is perfect..just 100 bucks it costs..but gives you a memory worth lifetime..I even know..friends like Alvia..who had bought this book,to gift someone..but felt in love with this book..and she still has a tiny space in his heart..which says again and again..*read me again and again..and again*

Thought for the day:

There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read.

I read that book, and it isn't very great.
Since it came after Chetan Bhagat's, the novelty was absent.
It was also a sort of amateur attempt. Not written well.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Adopt what is right.....

I see that many people of my age group adopt certain western cultures. School students and college goers are often seen buying friendship bands and valentine cards. I feel its not right. You may think I am traditional and don't keep up to date views. But if you think a little maturely you will find out its not modern to wear friendship bands. Its rather pure pride. Now as I am talking about western culture I should tell you that I'm not against it in fact I find some of the western values very much followable like dignity of work, civic sense, accountability etc. We have to maturely decide what to adopt from the westerners and what not to adopt. Why should we go after them when we have a culture of such great versatility? -Priya Joyce

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...
