Book review - Mirage by Mayank Sharma

Mirage - 'Nature's way of treating you with your need and desire.'

Rajiv has an accident while he was on his way to celebrate his first marriage anniversary and subsequently finds himself in coma. Though he recovers but scars of the accident gets fresh, when he finds the same 'angel' in his dreams, revisiting and making the gleam move to dark.

He gets home only to find his wife dead. Will you call it dichotomy? To an extent; it was. He tries hard to convince people around about his wife Shreya's presence in his life but no one believes.

Time can't heal all wounds but can cover them for a while. To keep his family happy he tries to act normal but pressure of remarriage, Shreya's presence, keeps on haunting him every moment. It is then he decides to escape to be with his wifw in her world.

Muddled, Rajiv could feel her presence around but couldn't see her and simultaneously, the question linked with the dream, her death and her presence in the hospital. Standing over the edge either to see Shreya or to commit suicide, Rajeev is drenched in storm of emotions. Will he end the worldly life and find Shreya? Or he'll see a Mirage? If it's a Mirage will the world accept it? Or will call him mad?

Let us find an unconfined meaning to most desired way of breathing in, unconfined love and human life.

About the story -
This story is about Rajiv, who met with an accident on his first marriage anniversary and found himself in coma. During the time he spent in hospital, he felt his wife, Shreya, by his side every second. But the moment he got discharge from hospital, he got to know that his wife died the same day he met with an accident and the heart which is thumping in his body is his wife's. But Rajiv denies everything and tells everyone that Shreya was with him. Eventually, he succeeds in finding Shreya by his side in the form of a spirit. Shreya's mere presence in his life changes him completely.

My verdict -
This story shows that mere presence of your loved ones in your life is important. Whether the presence is physical or not does not matter. When you lose a person whom you love the most, not only that person dies but something inside you dies too and it become really hard to digest the fact that they are no more. This story shows the true meaning of love. When today, people run after physical things in love, this story shows how a spirit helps you to be a better person. This story made me cry and taught me the true meaning of love.

Ratings - 5/5

Image
For the first time ever, I am going to conduct an interview on my blog. And, I am glad to introduce Aditti Gaur, today. Her much celebrated book 'Adhira' is back to lure your hearts with her kindness and self - sacrificing traits. So, let's hear about Adhira from the authoress herself.  Q. How did you come up with the idea of writing a book? A. Since childhood or you can say school days, I had a strange habit of writing fictional scenes into my daily diaries, which were inspired from the things happening around me. This strange habit followed me after my marriage also. Just the intensity of the scenes kept on changing, from childhood's immature memories to grown up's mature dramas. One fine day, my husband got one of my diaries and he read the things I wrote in that. He instantly came up with the idea of story writing. After several denies from my side I had to agree on that because he was so sure that I can do it. And that's how Adhira came ou...

Book review - Postcards from Memory by Sameer Satam

Synopsis - Every moment that passes is not coming back. Yes, there might be moments in future, like the one you just experienced. But it's not going to be the same again. The one that was, was one like itself. It cannot be replaced. It's gone... Long gone... Dissolved in this crazy tasting, highly intoxicating drink of life. In an attempt to capture these bits and pieces that keep dissolving to give their distinct flavors to this colorful cocktail, I end up scribbling on my pad. This book is a bouquet of such moments that started with my mindless scribbling and ended up in verses. Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Sublime... Each piece has a taste of its own. About the book- This book is an anthology of poems. You will find poems on every single emotion. The feelings and words are very touching and the poet has summed up every word keenly which matches with every person's emotion. You will relate to this very easily. My verdict - I loved every single poem but my personal t...
