Did you leave behind enough happy tales?
Juxtaposition – [When life reaffirms meanings]
Two (plain clothed) colleagues as part of their early morning banter are discussing the nomination of Neil Mukherjee’s, “The lives of others” and in the background a brigade of high maintenance women walk in trying to ape the retro style!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern
Ah..! From where do i begin talking about this book? Probably it is only fair to tell you all that this is the second time that i have read this book, with the pleasure of knowing that it is my personal copy this time. I read this book for the very first time way back in 2008 when a very good friend Radhika had lent her copy to me.
So what is it about this book, that it has became a favourite? Mushy romance? Forever love? Childhood sweethearts? Oh Yes all of it! But, what strikes you the most is the ever entailing concept of this book.
The book opens with the introduction to a widow and you can’t help but wonder how can this be a tale of love? But the author surprises you and brings back the love of these two childhood sweethearts Gerry and Holly with such reverence that your heart would ache for them at the end.
Gerry passes away after being diagnosed with brain tumor and Holly is devastated and literally has no inclination to live her life anymore . However on her 30th Birthday Holly receives an envelope from Gerry. She is thrilled shocked and enchanted all at once. The letter from Gerry says that she is going to receive similar letters throughout the next year and he would help her get over him (irony of life)!
Thus begins Holly’s journey towards achieving closure. The umpteen number of emotions experienced by Holly at the arrival of each letter and the will to successfully complete the task assigned by Gerry in each letter is rather touching.
Then comes the last letter, where Gerry asks her not to be afraid to look for love again! So will Holly look for love again? Well i leave that for you all to find out! But, a must for all those who enjoy a good romantic read.
P.S. – The movie is also very good, but watch it only after reading the book.
