“Say it when u r in love- or else life can give u a reason to repent”- this is the first thing came to my mind after reading “Married but available” by Abhijit. Am bit biased for the book, but am honestly trying to be honest with my observations and comments.
The observations would have been different other wise as am yet to read the first one of the series “Mediocre but arrogant”. (Would write another piece once m done with the 1st one)
A good work with expressions. Abbey (the Bengali simple middle class) Ayesha (the ultra rich ultra modern Punjabi gal), Abbey (the much satisfied employee of Balwanpur Industries) Ayesha (the ambititous one). Abbey (the second hand maruti car) Ayesha (the Mercedez benz ). Negatives attract but not necessarily that they should stick together forever. That’s how I would explain Abbey-Ayesha relationship. The dilemma of Abbey, an attachment of a middle class boy towards his family & the middle class values he possesses and the struggle to survive a marriage with a ultra rich girl with so much of cultural differences. Ultimately best possible thing happens. They depart.
HR, somehow has been integral part of the book. Abbey’s first job, first difficulties in job, first exposure to ground level work away from books and lectures, management-worker relationship and the role of HR in-between. Dilemmas of workers after the takeover. All well said. You can walk along the characters and feel the ups and downs of their emotions. That makes the reader live the book, not just read the book.Here lies the success of the writer to connect with the reader . Credit all urs Aby..JJ
Abbey’s personal dilemmas, professional dilemmas, asking help from Rascal Rusty, his own fears of loosing the job, comparisons with friends, obsession with designation, putting all together we can actually relate to ourselves. We all go through it, some how or other, some day or other.It symbolises the struggle of a modern youth of INDIA.
Characters like Capt. Sobti, Balwan Singhwe we can see in our life. Just that they can not be loved, can not be hated, just have to be tolerated. Nasha, of course deserves some sympathy.
Finally Keya,
Keya, the unpredictable, is ofcourse my another reason of biasness towards the book. She resembles a self that’s the closest to mine. The character has lots of shades. The lovely Keya, the lover Keya, the loved Keya, the ultra romatic Keya, the mad Keya, the jealous Keya, the strong Keya and finally the enlightened Keya. Her charm, madness, poetry, expression of feelings, confidence, taj in moon light, makes the reader fall in love with her again and again. She has always been the strength for Abbey. Lucky Abbey JJJ. She left Abbey, for the search within…it did not leave Abbey angry, unhappy or devastated, but just that he decided to wait…may be just coz he loved her, he respected her and moreover he understood her.
To make the already long note short, I say a simple way of writing without much of heaviness, yet meaningful…reader’s delight as most of the readers can relate themselves to the protagonist or any of the characters.…A good book for youths…nice work overall!!!!
KEEP IT UP ABY…!!!
