The
Blurb- “I
love you Rajan,” she had blurted out, hands clenched tightly at her sides.
“Sana, you are only a kid…you will soon
forget all this. Besides, don’t you also love Shahrukh Khan?”
A decade has gone by and Sanjana, now a highflying professional
in Mumbai, thought she was over her childhood crush on the enigmatic Rajan.
Back in her hometown Fatehpur for a family wedding, she bumps into him; he’s
still enigmatic and the sparks are still there. Just when things begin to heat
up, though, in walks Krish, a colleague from Mumbai, who seems to be very
possessive of Sanjana
The Swift Summary- Sanjana working in a consulting firm is running away from her
confused thoughts about another colleague of hers Krish who has proposed her.
She is indecisive about him hence on her roommate’s advice decides to travel
back to her hometown Fathepur, where there is a wedding of her cousin.
During the wedding preparations she bumps into her childhood love,
her first love Rajan. She finds him even more attractive and handsome then he used
to be when she was a teenage girl.
When all things start turning for their love her colleague from
Mumbai, Krish enters into the scene. He is one of the relative from groom’s
side.
Sanjana finds herself in midst of confusion again. She is not able
to understand her feelings for Rajan. Moreover she is perplexed thinking about
one of his girl friend about whom Rajan once told. She is also not sure about
Krish who is acting too possessive for Sanjana.
During the complete ceremony Sanjana takes some harsh decision and
comes back to Mumbai.
What are those decisions? Who does Sanjana love? Is it Krish or is
it Rajan? Is Sanjana able to take up the right decisions for her life? If yes,
how?
Read on this simple yet beautiful story from author Sarita Verma.
My View- The story
is set in a small town Fathepur. The Protagonist, Sanjana is shown as a simple
yet beautiful sensuous girl. The other characters, the two heroes in her life
and other family members are all shown lively and fit exactly in their role.
The description of various places like Fathepur, Kumbh Mela is described in a
very beautiful, livid style.
The full story is a simple read, which starts with a smile and
ends with a smile. It’s something, which a common girl in love can relate to.
I like the cover and the family involvement in the complete story.
At the same time there could have been more focus on the main characters and
their story then, the side characters.
