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...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Summary Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In...
