On Friday morning,I took my train to Bargarh from Bhubaneshwar. I am fond of reading Fictions written by Indian authors,so while moving towards the train I got to get a glimpse of the book stall in platform no3, I thought of buying a novel that i can read at home during my short vacation trip and i thought of purchasing 'Of course i love you' by Durjoy Dutta & Maanvi Ahuja but suddenly I got to find the book 'I too had a love story' by Ravinder Singh and got to know that Ravinder Singh is born and brought up in Burla,which is fairly nearby my native. I bought 'i too had a love story' instead and saved 'Of course i love you' for some other time. Moreover the tag-line of the book is 'a heartbreaking true love tale' which made me further curious about the story. Also it is Author's own love story.
I could not resist myself and started reading the book at the train itself .It is very well written. Every incident that has taken place between him and his first love is explained in detail and it is very original. I would not stop till i got off the train in Bargarh Station. Reaching my home I had my shower, lunch, a short nap and continued reading again . I don't know why but I never wanted to stop. With every pages things between him and his girlfriend was getting better . Every places that he has written about viz.Burla,Bhubaneshwar,Sambalpur,Delhi I know enough to get it visually in my brain. I remember once our English teacher in school said that there are some piece of art like music,painting,writing and stuffs like that in which you will be lost completely and feel like a current running through you , I never felt that way before for any book. It was just like living the story itself. That day I read untill the part where the author leaves for US. That night I thought what made the couple separated? why the lovers never get married after loving each other so much that a reader will eventually fall in love with them? What made the author dedicating the book in the loving memory of the girl whom he loved,yet could not marry? Lots of questions were running across my mind until i continued reading it next day evening.
The heartbreaking part begins, the fate how it take its turn that every thing around you seems like a lie. The events that left you so much broken that you will even doubt the existence of The God. It is believed that whatever God do is for the better of the mankind seems like a bullshit to you. Anyhow i just finished the book and almost cried for the two lovers. There are some parts that completely left you emotional. I would not felt that bad if it would have been a story but unfortunately it is a true story...where the love of Author's life passed away leaving him broken, taking away the colors,light and every single thing you derive happiness from.
The story or I would rather say the incident that took place in Author's life made a great impact in myself till now I wondered what it takes to be in true love and commitment but all my presumptions were wrong. The story changed my thoughts about L-O-V-E completely. But the picture is clearer now and I can understand what I have been missing till now. According to Ravinder Singh love stories never die with person and everybody has his unique one to tell. He also believe "Not every one in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love.some are born just to experience the abbreviation of it"

Today you gave me your blog link, and I bought this book today itself after waiting for three months. I was almost ready to order it online from infibeam. Luckily I got a copy at Oxford Book Store.
I have heard its praises since my cousin in Burla read it. I didnt start reading it yet. Will start right away.
