Story-in-Short:
For
more than a decade, we’ve had exposure to love stories in the form of novels,
movies and more. We have fallen in and out of love, and we have been riddled
with questions about the origins of love, our emerging sexuality, authenticity
of people that we love, and so on. Our parents & society don’t always sync
with our ideas of being romantically involved with people of our choices.
Indian culture discriminates without discrimination, which in itself a very sad
predicament for the new, evolving generation. Plus, there hasn’t been a single
platform where all our troubles have been heard and voiced out at the same
time. Not until 21 Things About Romance came
into existence. This book, written by acclaimed young author Shomprakash Sinha Roy, clubs the viewpoint of
an entire generation with his own ideas about romance in the twenty first
century, through poignant essays, conversations and articles about love as we
know it today. Be part of the romantic revolution with this radical book which
is set to answer all your questions about love & change the way you look at
romance, forever!
In my view:
You search for a romantic fiction and you’ll get many. Love is this
amazing thing which can ever happen to someone on this planet. But not everyone
goes through a healthy love relation. Love changes life dramatically - for some
in a positive way and for some in a negative way. Everyone has their own story
to narrate; everyone has an anecdote to share with the masses.
But how many of these stories teach you the meaning of real love? How
many of them make you realize certain important things about love? How many of
them teach you the manner in which you need to move ahead in a relationship?
And most importantly, how many of them have clubbed the viewpoints of an entire
generation about romance in the 21st Century. By now, you must have started thinking about
that one such book which precisely has all these factors.
Well, the truth is, there hasn’t been a single platform where all the
troubles have been heard and voiced out at the same time. But thanks to
Shomprakash Sinha Roy, for coming out with this exceptionally well-written
novel - 21 Things About Romance.
Right from development of feelings to confessions to relationships -
this book has covered everything in it, with opinion and perspectives from both
the sides. The emotions, feelings and complications that lovers usually come
across in relationships, has been explicitly and flamboyantly described by the
author. The analytical descriptions are agreeable. In the course of reading the
book, you’ll come across selected excerpts of interactions that the author had
with the 21 winners of the Lovesteps contest conducted by Grapevine
publications. The incidents and affairs happened in their lives will help you
establish a deeper contact with the book.
To avoid incomprehensibility, the author has been generous enough to
use simple language in the book. He has creatively framed up sentences and the
narration style is completely intriguing. The illustrations, before each
chapter, are fascinating. The cover page has been well designed and is
attractive enough, though the paper quality isn’t really impressive. There are
moments when the author uses his own life experiences in the book, to explain
and deliver some crucial message to readers.
21 Things About Romance is a book which readers are going to cherish;
cherish for a long time. It is a book which will take them on a pleasurable
journey. It is not just for those who have been in relationships, but also for
those who are, or think they are going to be in one. This book will help lovers
to strengthen their association and maintain a healthy relationship.
All in all, it is a book which one shouldn’t miss as it offers a lot!
I am, for sure, recommending this book to all my readers! Do read 21 Things
About Romance and explore ways to be happy and exultant in love life!
Considering everything, I am rating the
book with 4.5/5.
