YOU ARE THE BEST WIFE- a review





At the outset, I wish to caution that its a Tragic Story, so all those who do not appreciate Tragedies, this is not for you.
I definitely not like to see such movies, nor do I like to read such books, which have tragic endings. But, I really could not resist reading the book to the end as I knew it was a real story. And I must say, it was worth it. I really liked the way a fictitious ending is given in between, and wished that it should have been the real one.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I believe that one can get to know a lot about the Author from his creation. Since, we know that its the true story of the author himself, I would say that he is a good human being and the best husband to Bhawna, the best wife. His creation, the Book “You are the best wife” is full of emotions. I felt as if I was watching a movie. In the book he has mentioned that Bhawna was the best wife, best daughter, best mausi, best sister and the best daughter in law. I, no doubt agree with the author but to add to that I felt that even the Author Pandeyji as he is fondly called, is the best husband, best son, best brother and may he soon become the best father to a daughter with the soul as special as Bhawna’s.

THE BOOK BLURB:         
A normal love story of a boy Ajay meeting a girl Bhawna; Ajay proposes, Bhawna accepts. But the story suddenly takes a different and the most unexpected route. A tumultuous turn where the boy is left shattered, but learns to pick up the broken pieces of his life.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK:
The book is an emotional journey, and talks about relationships. It is set in the Allahabad City and clearly brings to the fore the way the boy and girl cannot walk together on the streets, and the contrast is highlighted too when the story shifts to Pune. The story changes its course when Bhawna is infected with Dengue.
This reminds me of a small story on Dengue. http://abheekalp.blogspot.in/2015/11/dengue-season.html. I really could not resist pasting the URL of the same here.

PERSONAL OPINION:
Since this is the first book of the author, literary finesse is something which I was not looking for. I am also tempted to highlight the fact that although the Author did try to take good care of his wife, but the expertise of the Doctors in the high profile hospitals named by him should definitely come under a scanner. I actually had goose bumps while going through those chapters. 

The most important point worth a mention is the fact the way a last chapter has been written from Bhawna’s side. Not to mention that the way Shah Jahan made Mumtaz immortal with the creation of Taj Mahal in her memory, similarly Pandeyji made Bhawna immortal with this book.

ABOUT THE PUBLISHERS:
Sristhi Publishers is doing a good job, the way the book is being promoted. The proceeds from the book are going to a Charitable Trust. Hope they get a good collection.
