About Books

Quite many days ago, I had read a beautiful book in which the protagonist was a young girl who was additively in love with a man. Unfortunately the man was a pilot and died in a stray accident, an air crash. The girl went into deep depression and nobody and nothing could bring her back from the darkness of infinite sorrow. One day, a colleague of her dead fiancee came to meet the sorrow-stricken girl as a part of his duty towards his dead pal. He was shocked to see the condition of the girl. She just didn't want to come out of her pain and trauma and responded to nothing. He understood that it was his duty to revive in the girl, the zest for life. He tried hard, through conversation, through preaching but nothing worked, but in the company of her dead fiancee's friend, she started to talk and reminisce how she loved her boy friend and how she had dreamt and had loved to hope for live a life with him. One day, as they were alone and talking, this friend held the girl in his arms and the result was instinctive and strangely sad and passionate. They went into a frenzy of passionate love-making as though it was the only means of releasing pent up emotions for the girl and it did something to her.Though she was still madly in love with her dead man, it started a new beginning. The girl who had not responded to anything, started to have interest in life,though only in a flicker. No, what happened between both of them was not love, rather, quite far from love. It was mere impulse. But the girl who didn't respond to anything responded to physics.It was as if the desire to express fer great pain and also a way of communicating how much she had loved her fiancee. The colleague went away hoping that the girl will revive now and was happy that he had done his duty in whatever odd way it might have been. After a month, the girl found herself to be pregnant. She was in shock, didn't know what to do or how to handle the situation. She couldn't even gather courage to disclose this to her family. And the man whose child she was carrying had not tried to contact her even once after that physical escapade.She only waiting, and didn't know for what.In some way, she expected that life will not desert her now, and it will be given back to him, along with her deep love for her ex-lover. Surprisingly, despite every odd, the girl couldn't think of aborting the child, She felt connected to it in a strange way, beyond her understanding. May be the baby in her was a hope, to revive, to relive, to move ahead with the love in her heart for the dead boy friend. She didn't know how to explain it to her family and was scared. Each and every day was spent in apprehension. And it was all not in vain. The man who made love to her without any love,ant regard for the consequences, but only to bring the girl back ti the stream of life came back suddenly one day and asked her hand in marriage. They got married, with full knowledge that the dead man was still the love of the girl who was a dear friend of her husband.

It's a beautifully written book with beautifully written verses at the beginning of every chapter. It sends a message of undying love, of human integrity of greatness of heart, of immense love, of wonderful understanding of life. It also tells that there still are men in this world, who tell us that there are still good people in this world, who , after making a mistake, don't run away, they come back always, to make amends for their mistake. It is a story of being human, being weak, yet strong, to join hearts and worlds. Books can be beautiful. They give us strength to survive and be good, they teach us human goodness. I wish people had time to read books, they can change hearts and they certainly make the world better.
