          I seek you is the story of a young girl Sadhana, and her journey from childhood to adult-life; It explores different emotions and hurdles of growing up. Sadhana lives with her parents in their tea estate and is deeply influenced by the people living with them.Its the story of how she seeks different things at different stages of life; and her effort to achieve them all.

The language of the book is easy and pace is free flowing. The story attempts to capture the essence of  how, things we learn or see in our childhood somehow affects the person we transform into in adult life. It ventures on fundamental of different relations one builds with people around us; be it house-help, relatives, friendship or love of our life. The author has successfully captured different elements like humor, adventure, love, parental love, etc,

However the novel falls short in various areas like character development, loose ends, some unrealistic incidents(could have been avoided) which makes it difficult to form deep emotional bond with the main character. I really wish the authors should have worked on the ending which felt abrupt.

Conclusion: Its a good choice for someone who is begining their reading Journey.
Rating: It's 3.5/5 for me.

Head that wears the crown

  It’s funny how, over the years, I’ve moved through a handful of bosses probably five or six by now and, if I’m being honest, I never really liked any of them. I mean, who does, right? But recently, the disdain I’ve held for them has slowly shifted to something more like pity. Maybe it’s just a natural shift that happens as you gain experience, or maybe it’s the result of certain events. Either way, it’s been on my mind lately. For as long as I can remember, the go-to office pastime has always been “bashing the boss.” You know, that whole ritual of gossiping about their quirks, criticizing their decisions, or poking fun at their management style. And in a way, it’s a bonding activity for colleagues a way to release stress and feel like we’re all in the same boat. But recently, an old Gujarati saying has been sticking with me: “ પીપળ પાન ખરતાં હસતી કુંપળીયાં , મુજ વીતી તુ જ વીતશે , ધીરી બાપુડીયાં …” (Translation: As the old leaves of the peepal tree fall, the younger ...

THE FINAL PAYMENT

  Indra stretched lazily on his bed, watching “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma” on his phone; he had been doing that for a whole day now. His daughter had promised him a set of his favourite books; they should have reached him by now, but the hospital staff had become very strict with the rapid rise in the number of cases. He had been reading stories of how rapidly the virus spread through one’s body; however, he felt just fine except for slight breathing difficulties. He wondered what all the fuss was about. With that thought, the oxygen monitor started to beep; his O2 monitor showed 94. He remembered nurses talking to each other about how O2 should be maintained above 95. He thought to himself, “ I should relax a bit. Good thoughts, Indra. Think good thoughts!” And with that, his mind wandered to the construction of his new farmhouse, a project he'd been planning for years. With his retirement just around the corner, he had envisioned spending his golden years there with his w...
