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.             When dad left the kitchen, she looked at me and gave a smile that expresse

What shall I do as a mother?

"Hey, little one, do you know how much I love you? You might not be my first kid, but every kid is precious to the mother. No matter which gender you will be, I will love you like you are my world. I am enjoying the joy of carrying you. I want you to serve every people surrounding you. I want to see people enjoying their lives because of my child," she said all these things to the child in her. No matter how the child is going to be like she loved it with all her heart. She poured the joy of motherhood into her child. She carried her baby in all the atmospheric conditions. The before her baby enter this world, she said to her baby, "Now I am giving you all the food and breath that you need even before you ask me. But this condition is going to be with you tomorrow. You need only 50% of my support, and the remaining 50% comes from the way you adapt to this environment. As said earlier, I want my child to bring joy in everyone's life". She enjoyed her labor pain i

Never value yourself low because of a failure

           Life is a bed of roses with thorns. Not everyone is going to lead a life a with null failure and no one is going to live a life without success.                                  Failure is a part of our life, be brave enough to handle those failures. If a person keeps on thinking about failure he/she is not going to succeed in his/her life. Failure is a chance to analyse the mistakes that a person do.                      Most of us never concentrate on our weakness and we want to do the work with perfection. If you cant find what is wrong then how can you rectify that problem?                     So what am trying to say is that never lower your worth because of a failure. Persons whom you admire as successful have undergone through lots of failures.                                  If you want anything work for it, if it doesn't work well then again work on how you can update yourself.             I saw this content from Lavanya Jayakumar's vi
