"I too had a love story"-This is the first attempt of the author Ravinder Singh and not a bad one either. I am not sure if this again is autobiographical. But if it was, then this person might have had hell of pain to pen it down (just the opposite of 2 States). Yup, this is a sad one. This is about a guy who finds a girl of the same caste through the modern technology aid (aka internet and matrimonial website) and what happens between them and their families. Yes, both these novels did not only explain what the guy and the girl went through but also how their families felt. It was nice to read their aspect too.
Most of it was very dramatical, but yes, love by itself makes life bit dramatic doesnt it. (I tell you it was pure coincidence that I happen to read one happy and one sad love story just days before the Valentine's day. It wasnt intentional, sathiyamaaa..I found the coincidence while writing this very line...) We might think of the idiocy that we went through later but yes when you are there, you would not see anything else and nothing seems idiotic. And this guy was idiotic some times and the girl was very senti too. But yes the thoughts that he had penned were genuine. (How do I know ? - well read it and you will also know it, its not that difficult to find out)
It must have been all the more painful for him to relive the same and format it as if it was some one else's. I appreciate him for that atleast. If you had a happy ending and things had been fine, you will enjoy penning them down, but the same wouldnt happen if you didnt have an happy ending (I am not telling here what made the end so sad.. it would spoil the readers the little suspense) and even more hellish if you havent yet come out of it.
This book was very small and it was written in such a way as if one of my friend was narrating his story sitting with me, the english was too simple and the narration - very straight forward. Nothing too jazzy and nothing too "over the top" romance...just plain simple feeling expressed in the plain simple way. Good one and Good attempt.
