Book Review - Perfect Prescription for Broken Hearts by Dr. Aparajitha Nagesh









Blurb-
What is the perfect prescription for a broken heart? Is it a full dose of love-cetmol? Suturing the cut ends? A cardiac transplantation? Or a life time of love with hugs and smiles thrice a day?

Hrudi, a heartbroken and calumniated gynecologist, decides that the perfect prescription to her unending endurance is to put a full stop to her life once and for all. Inebriated by a rush of nostalgia, she chooses to relive the past once again, before finally finding her eternal rest in peace.

This journey back in time takes her to her college days, where she falls into step with Aditi since day one and was always at loggerheads with the hunk, Hrishikesh Datta. But everything changed when the cupid struck his arrow on both the parties and life became even more beautiful, until the inevitable happened, crumpling down her world like a pack of cards.

When she was still coping with the heartache, another blow hit her like a wrecking ball and she was razed to the ground once more. As she prepares to end her life, Hrish awaits the one big confrontation that he feared for years.

Will she live through this?

Will her broken heart ever be mended?

About the Story-
The story revolves around Hrudi and her experience in the medical college. How she befriends Aditi and how she has a crush on Hrish. The plot also gives an insight of the problems that doctors have to go through. No matter how much efforts they put in to save a patient’s life, a small mistake can lead to a disaster, even when the mistake is not entirely of doctor’s. From the exam’s tension to the excitement of the parties – this story tells the happening or not-so-happening life of a medical college.

Writing & Narration-
The story has been presented in a simple form. The writing style of the authoress is commendable. I really liked it. However, the story lacks behind in the narration. The way characters have been defined is good. I liked some of the characters a lot. But, the thing that ruins the interest is the grammatical errors. The language of the story is less than average. Still, I was thoroughly into the story and I could imagine the things in my head. So, that’s a plus point.

Title & Cover-
The title and the cover of the book are appropriate for the plot. They gel well with the story.

Pros-
  • ·         The story is intriguing.
  • ·         The character justification is up to the mark.
  • ·         The narration style is average.

Cons-
  • ·         It has a lot of grammatical mistakes.
  • ·         The editing is not in a precise way.

My verdict-
When you expect some things and imagine some scenarios in your head, and when the inevitable circumstances change everything, you don’t seem to find any way out from that situation. What is the most heartbreaking thing? The betrayal from a friend or the betrayal from the love of your life? I guess both! There is no perfect medication available to heal a broken heart.
This story tells the same thing. It is a good and average read. And, once can easily relate to the characters. If you are also dealing with a broken heart, then have a read of this book and you will find out where Hrudi was lead by the destiny.

Ratings – 3/5

An Insight of Adhira and the journey of Aditti Gaur

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...
