My experience with Life is what you make it by Preeti Shenoy

             Life is what you make it
                               by Preeti Shenoy



My Experience :
       Life is what you make it is the story of a  girl named Ankita who overcomes her mental illness.
       It was hard for me to read the book after the death of a character. But as the story grows everything came in its place.
       Ankita's family reflected most of the Indian families where a girl is restricted to be in a relationship. Even though they were strict their love has been expressed with all its ingredients.
       Dr. Madushudan is my favourite character as he brings light in her life.
       It was more hard to read the suffering parts of Ankita, i just wanted to skip those parts but can't as they expressed the authentic feel of her struggle.

Favorite parts :
            Climax 😍😍 my favorite part. I just loved to read those pages.
                 I don't know whether I can mention this because it's a book with some important awareness but I can't resist to say this that the time when Abi and Ankita eat at thattu kada... I have read those pages many time😍
    
Blurb :
     What would you do if destiny twisted the road you took? What is it threw you to a place you didn't want to go? Would you fight? Would you run or would you accept?
       Set across two cities in India in the early eighties, Life is what you make it is a gripping account of a few significant years of Ankita's life.
       Ankita Sharma as the world at her feet. She is young, good looking, smart and has tonnes of friends and boys swooning over her. She also manages to get into a premier management school for her MBA.
      Six months later, she is a patient in a mental health hospital.
       Life has cruelty and coldly snatched that which meant the most to her and she must now fight to get it all back.
      It is deeply moving and inspiring account of growing up, of the power of faith and how determination and an indomitable spirit can overcome even what destiny throws at you.
      A tale, at its core a love-story that makes us question our beliefs about ourselves and our concept of sanity, and forces us to believe that life is truly what one makes it.

cute little things

    Hey all, it had been a long time since I posted the last blog post.    I will try to post at-least 3 a week. Now lets get in to today's post. INCIDENT 1 :             On a fine day, in the morning, mom was preparing channa masala for chappathi. Unfortunately, it was partially burnt. Some channas that settled down were burnt and the dish started to spread its burnt smell.             Dad came from hall, to the kitchen 'What happened pa, what is this smell. Have you burnt the dish?' dad asked. To manage the situation, mom took a single burnt channa from the gravy and showed it dad with her thumb and the forefinger holding the channa and said, 'because of this one channa the whole dish is spoiled' with a sad face.             'Okay okay, you don't get tensed. We can manage with some other side dish' dad said that in a way of consoling my mom from the disaster.   ...

Summary of "A girl to remember" by Ajay K Pandey

Protagonist of the story is, Neel Kumar who don't have any feeling for his family or friends. He did not had any emotions for the people surrounded by him and while reading I just imagined that no one can be bad than him. But later his student Pihu dig out the angel in him. The strong message "Confession is the best punishment" has conveyed that nothing can make a person feel punished except his acceptance over the fault and confessing it. After the arrival of Pihu in Neel's life he turns out to be a good person who had feelings for his family, friends and his daughter. A GIRL TO REMEMBER IS A BOOK TO REMEMBER
