Blurb-
Ajay believes in living for himself; Bhavna teaches him to
live for others. Ajay is a planner for life; Bhavna makes him live in every
moment.
You are the Best Wife is a story of two people with
contradictory ideologies who fall in love. It changes them for good. It changes
the way they look at the world and the way the world looks at them. Until destiny
reveals its plan.
This is a true inspiring story of the author and his
struggle with life, after his beloved wife left him halfway through their
journey. But her last words, ‘you are the best husband’ gave him strength to
live on, and fulfil his promise of love.
Told with frankness and doses of humour, this heart-warming
tale of a boy and girl who never gave up on their love in face of adversities,
ends on a bittersweet and poignant note as Ajay comes to terms with the biggest
lesson life has to offer.
My take-
Ajay, hailing from a middle class family, has high
aspirations of getting in to the IIT but lands up in IERT. He wishes to have a
sound life without slightest worries. He plans up to score excellent marks and
get placed in an excellent company paying him hefty amount. He decides to keep
away from all kinds of distraction especially girls. But he couldn’t escape
Cupid’s game. He sees Bhavna in his class and ends up in having a crush on her.
He takes up coaching class for learning programming language, the reason being
Bhavna. His crush slowly develops and evolves in to true love.
Bhavna comes from a strict and rich family. Ajay couldn’t dare
to confess his feelings to her. He resorts to bluffing. He cooks up a tale of
leaving IERT and confesses his feelings to Bhavna. She reciprocates her feelings
and says yes to their relationship.
Life offers them surprises throughout their engineering
days. First problem Ajay encounters is that of job. He doesn’t get placed in
any of the companies. He decides to opt for further studies. Meanwhile, Bhavna
finds herself in a well settled job. Few years later, Bhavna’s parents think
about her marriage and Bhavna ends up in spilling beans about her relationship
with Ajay.
How do her parents react to Bhavna’s news? Do they agree? What
does Ajay do to convince his parents? What bitter game does life play with
them?
The narration has been done in simple English. The story can
be well understood by any person. The emotions are very well described. One can
relate to the situations. I can say that the end part of this novel is surely
going to leave tears in your eyes. The chapters have been named in such a way
that it gives you a faint idea about where the story would go. The flow of
events in the story is consistent.
The beginning of the novel seemed quite boring to me. It was
the usual ragging, crush, confession, dates and late night walks. The story
sped up Ajay landed up in job. I found Ajay’s way of disclosing about his
relationship to his father really cute. It was towards the end that I felt
emotional. I was almost in tears.
I liked the simplicity and frankness in this story.
