Till The Last Breath.



The death sentences of the patients in Room No. 509 have been written.

One of them is a brilliant nineteen-year-old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling her towards a slow, painful death. She counts every extra breath as a blessing. The other is a wasteful twenty-five-year-old drug addict whose every organ system is slowly shutting down. He can’t wait to get rid of his body--to him, the sooner the better.

Two reputed doctors, fighting their own demons from the past, try everything to keep these two patients alive, even putting their medical licenses at risk.

These last days in the hospital change the two patients, their doctors and all the other people around them in ways they had never fathomed.

Till the Last Breath is a heart-warming story about love, life and friendship that reminds us what it means to be alive.

 When ever you hold a book authored by Durjoy Datta all you can do is to chose a posh bean bag and place yourself comfortably and have a single sitting read. This is what his readers have done with his earlier books. Critics yelled at him for him being very complacent at romantic writings. He remained silent. But now, he came up with a different genre titled "Till The Last Breath" where there is a mix of fun, romance, love, friendship and to the core emotions. 





 Someone can't really make up a book on 2 patients who were about to pass out their last breath. It annoyed me in the first place. But the belief towards his writing and the description made me order the book once it released. 

Dushyant roy, Pihu Malhotra, Arman Kashyap, Kajal Khurana, Zarah Mirza were just amazing with their characters. 

Undoubtedly Pihu Malhotra played the lead role in the story where the kind words and willingness to accept anything that comes her way made me realize what it means to be alive. 

Dushyant being an hard core ass get into troubles and then slowly realizes his wrong doings and come to the fore and creates a great impression among readers.  His Fucking dissatisfaction made some fun in the middle. 

Arman Kashyap being the hero of the day. The proposal and the date has to be the highlight scene.

Kajal Khurana to be in a total mess. Her part is very little when compared to others. 

Zarah Mirza must be happy with her first patient doing reasonably well at last. The first death under is always remembered for years. Unfortunately Dushyant is in safe hands. 

End of character description. 

Durjoy Datta proved the critics that he can write beyond his limitations and the result shows. This was simply stunning. 

At times It made me think of how my last days would be like. Some success in life, having friends around, feeling love, Sobbing, Bliss and passing out when it comes. Just a single life. Live it. Love it. 

"You were the best roommate ever. Now, we're 2-2. Don't waste it." 

I cry.

Kattuscorner a Multi Tasker.


Well, I'm here not to take on some current issues or applauding or boasting some celebs or criticizing some other. But for the first time boasting something about a dear friend who is celebrating his birthday today. He is one of my fella blogger. I'm happy to say that. He carries a zeal for writing but he mess himself on what to write and drops out without making anything out of it. He loves to learn something new every time and that's what I like the most in him. We both started Tweeting at a same time. We used to tweet instead of chatting on Facebook. We love adapting to new trends. And that's what dragged us into Blogger. He started blogging within the days I published my first post. We resemble each other in many cases but he loves to stay simple and lonely which is not same with me.

He sealed a place in my list as one of my best mate for the last 4 years. I really enjoyed his company in and outside the campus. He doesn't really make much fun but he cracks the jokes with ease and timing. He is the one who came and had a conversation with me 4 years back where I have no one to speak to. His Telugu was terribly in the beginning but I felt like anything similar to the language is good enough to pass some time than dying lonely. I must say he soon improved his ability to learn the language from me. I exchanged my skills with him and his to mine. I've learned Tamil reasonably well. Every individual friend of mine contributed their part in making me learn the language. I'm always thankful to them.

This Guy is no good at academics and his nightmare was all Mathematics. He hardly cross the border line during internals. That's the best part of life. A bit of success as well as failure makes some sense. Isn't it?!

We both had a crush at two different girls at same time in the  first year of our Grad and we realize that it is going to take us nowhere. I dropped after a while. But he didn't. He still had a crush on his girl. A ray of hope still lies behind.

He made a difference by scoring some unexpected numbers in the internals and took everyone by surprise. He started proving his existence while I'm crushing down to earth. He actively involved in every activity that our dept. organizes. A well behaved bloke is what he managed to gain in the dept.

He works day in and day out for any task he was assigned to. He don't know how to say a firm "No" when he can't do the job which was rested on his shoulders. He has to learn a firm "No" one day. 

Living under the assembled computers made him take a slight advantage over his course. He shot the answers right on the block hole when it mattered. I appreciate it for living up to his routine. And now he turned out to be the concept minded guy in my crew who can write infinite number of words during examinations with ease in grace.I believe he can make wonders in the coming future. All he has to do is to stay calm and composed and make use of every single opportunity. Aim Big. It's all free. You are not going to pay for it. 

The words said by Warren Buffet. Somehow modified by me in my style. (Hope you get the point right)

If people don't laugh at your goals, It means that you don't have proper goals in life. You are looking for an existence in life rather than creating your trademark in this hyperactive and most competitive society.

I believe the above lines makes a hell lot sense to all my readers.

And Finally I forgot to reveal the name of the birthday bud. It's Nirmal Kumar. I really wanted to dedicate this post to him. Just because he deserve it.

A Typical Stylish South Indian Guy. (He rarely poses for a snap)



Dude. You have a dream. Go for that. Never get down for Instant happiness. Be a crowd getter than being the one in the crowd. Read more. Learn more. Think more. The more you read the better you become. 

Once again I wish you a very very Happy BirthdaY!! :D

Do comment at the end of the post. I take it as a gift after the Bournville you offered me.

A Day With You Around.

I've been repeatedly warned as well as suggested by the people who genuinely cared for my better life and I just cut it off without even considering what they actually had said to me. Times changed and I've changed to a great extent. The last 2 days set up to be the productive days in my life whatsoever the other days had offered me. I have learned some new lessons from life. I'm Glad you are the reason behind it.

Oct 26th 2012.

There is no great stuff going around and I decided myself to doze off after having a typical South Indian meal. And then I received a call from her. It always brings a huge smile on my face whenever I see her name flashing on my mobile. Hi. I said instantly after picking up the call.

Annanya: Guess me.? Where will I be now?! She said with a childish voice.

Me: Ummm. In bus?! On-route to your hostel?! I said. In a confused state.

Annanya: No.

Me: Chennai??! I said. This time with great excitement.

Annaya: Yep!! :D And now she is grinning.

Wow. what a sudden surprise and I came to know her whereabouts and decided to meet up right then.

I quickly went up to my wardrobe and checked in with the available costumes for the day but at the end I managed to look terrible with long hair falling down my face. As it's the exam season I do look horrible to make people believe that I work real hard for exams which is a ploy.

We had a great attachment with Ampa Skywalk situated at Arugambakkam, Chennai. The last 2 visits made by her initiated with Skywalk. Of course I will be on sky high when she is right beside me. And I started rooting to the compressed mall near to Anna Nagar.

Shopping with lads is a total different scenario compared with a girl. The price tags never matters when you are with lads but it matters strong enough when you are in with your girl. She was so darn happy to find all the accessories very reasonable and I felt like getting her whatsoever she asked for. But my empty wallet throws a disappointing smile at me. This is where the financial troubles and all those stuff flashes in my head repeatedly proclaiming I'm no good enough to be there with her. I tried my real best to rush those thoughts away but couldn't succeed much. 

Mc Donald's and Landmark will remain the best outlets for us to meet up every time. We used to contemplate over the new arrivals at the Landmark stands and make some unusual comments on already read books. It's her who made me stand still on reading books one by one. I just relate her in the first place in every book I read. 

We ordered an extra value meal for Two at Mc Donald's where you get a large coke and fries a little more than normal. I truly love Mc Donald's. I'm so very happy that she treated me with a meal to share her excitement of getting placed in an Multi National Company. (I'm impressed. She kept her words) Then we started usual mutterings on Life, Friends, Movies and a few more when she gave me a 10 Rupee note. 

Those 2 words on the note proclaimed "Love You" I can now barely speak. I've no idea what's going on?!
There is utter silence. Between the staff at MCD served us the Fries which are due. Soon I'm frightened to ask what's the reason behind it?! Can I take it as an acceptance to my proposal which I've made a few months back?! What If she says "Just forget about it?!" I can't spoil the time we are indulged in and for the next 24 hours. I can't take a risk here. I remained silent.

With her by my side I don't want her to struggle in not-so-safe Chennai Metro Buses which runs full packed all the day. So we hired an auto to Thyagaraya Nagar. From which we boarded a deluxe bus to Mylapore . Dropped her in my relation's abode and got an assurance that she is happy with the accommodation and finally I made my way out. I can now vaguely see the street roads. I'm totally immersed in her thoughts. I don't know whats up with this girl?! I'm totally in love with her blindly and madly.



We had a text conversation at the end of the day and it shows:

Me: Reached home.

Ananya: Too late. anyway I guess there was no problem..

Me: Dat's okie. Everything is alright.

Ananya: Ok fyn.. U go to bed and grab some sleep..Do I need to wake you up early in the morning?!

Me: Huh. Why would I say "No" for anything you offer me?! I'm super excited to start my day with your phone call. I thought. But just managed to reply softly.

Me: Yeah. 6 in the morning. And we winded with Good Nights.

My legs started cramping and my hands started fumbling to handle the phone. I'm totally stressed out. Yet I couldn't get sleep whole night. Counting the number of hours left to get back to meet her. It's 5 in the morning and I galloped to fresh up to catch the 7AM train at near by suburb.

October 27th, 2012.

It took me 2 long hours to reach Mylapore from my stay and I'm in a hurry not to evade any single opportunity to spend time with her. I tried my best to look better. But couldn't do anything about it.

She looked so darn attractive in her white dress. I'm not sure what they call it as but all I can say is she was so perfect. I wish I could spend my life time staring at her but she has to leave for now. She is going back to Trichy at 1:45PM. We moved to Skywalk yet again for Exchange Mela and I went on busy ordering the lunch at Mc Donald's.

Mostly probably I never miss my timings unless and until there arrives an unexpected interruption. This day is of that kind when the roads of Anna Nagar were Jam packed with all sort of vehicles! I've very limited time left to reach C.M.B.T which is almost 15-20 drive from Skywalk. We are left with 10mins for the scheduled departure of the bus. Yet I managed to stand all by myself at the exit of Star Bazzar with a Coke from Mc Donalds hoping against the hope. We soon rushed to an auto and started to C.M.B.T. I was all nervous. I've never experienced this kind of feeling till date. I was dying actually for Ananya. I can't leave her. I'm not sure why I'm getting so serious with her. I can't get flattered to someone who hardly meets me. She is a crowd getter and I'm a boring fiction geek all the time who hardly makes fun around when it all mattered and blushes to my own. For sometime it felt like she makes me complete and life with her would be wonderful. And sometimes It drops down that I'm no good guy for her.

Her visit made me think beyond my limitations. She stayed back the previous night believing in me for some reasons. I felt happy for that. I now feel responsible. "Money" plays an integral part in every activity we do these days. I've dreams of earning money very badly. But I do believe that "The more money you earn the more diseases you gain" That was indeed true. If not its right for 70% at least.

The moment when she got into the bus she left me in a total dismay. I struggled to gather all the words to bid her a "Bye" I didn't sound at all. I just whispered. My heart shattered into pieces. I miss my iPod Classic badly which was my proud possession after all getting me out of this world when ever I need. Her silly doings while crossing the road holding my hand was all over. It's just one way down the line. The Journey back home was terrible with her thoughts. I loved her for endless reasons. BTW there is something still missing.

I realized myself to get set Go! for a Job hunt and get settled asap. I've lot more responsibilities now. I'm sure I take it as my onus. Close quarters of me believe that I'm destined to do something great. I wish I won't be letting their belief down at any cost. I ll get back to Ananya once I get going on my two own foot. Till then I ll try my very best to be as normal as I could. But Life is Indeed beautiful with Ananya in my life.

Taylor Swift Love Story. (Dedicated to YOU)





I miss you. But I still love you.

Tea for Two And a Piece of Cake.


What if life threw you a magnificent  opportunity, only to knock you down later and laugh at you?! Would you fight back or let it pass?!

Nisha's life is far from perfect. At twenty six, she is plump, plain looking, and without a boyfriend. A chance to date and a bizzare twist of events lead her to the altar with suave samir Sharma, only to be abandoned eight years later. As she struggles to stand on her own feet, Akash, a younger guy enters her life. Can Nisha find love a second time?!

Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake is an unusual, a heart-warming, and gripping love-story between two people who have so much to lose by getting into relationship with each other, yet so much to gain. 

_________________________________________________________________


Well once again I'm totally impressed with this writer. Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake finally makes its way in 177th page of the book where Mrs. B confesses with Nisha during their conversation. 

The early 2 books of Preeti Shenoy are run away best sellers and now this one too joins the club after the release. Having said that she holds major share in my inspiration list. She is the reason why I'm here today at Blogger and scribbling something which I like to do all time. 

TTPC is all about Nisha's life (Plane-Jane) a middle class plump girl. She finds Samir and they make love and finally get married right after her father's sudden dismissal. 8 years passes by and she is now settled in completely with her 2 little kids Tanya and Baby Rohit. Everything seems to be alright by then. All of a sudden Samir walks out of the home leaving Nisha behind. 

Nisha struggles to get over it. She was betrayed and insulted. She never expected such a turn over in her life. Finally she realizes to relocate herself and wanted to stand on her own two feet. 

Akash a friend of her accompanies her in all the activities she do and offers her an idea which guides her life back on track. And finally Nisha finds second love in Akash and makes a happy ending. 

The above is just a brief narration of the book and it was very well written by Preeti Shenoy. 

Every single word made by Tanya touched me. After all I felt like having a baby girl like Tanya. It's love to have such kids around. The way Tanya shows tenderness towards Rohit and calms down Nisha by saying Mama you are the best and Papa will come back soon. Very Sweet of her. I just loved Tanya. 

On the other end I expected samir to get back home but that is how life goes. When someone leaves you behind its not we keep weeping for them to comeback. We have to make a move on after making 2-3 attempts. 

Mrs. B is not like all other oldies and she is very kind enough and played her role better. She made the title for this one by adding her chocolate cake to Nisha's Tea. Collectively making Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake. and also with an impressive statement. 

You can be old at twenty five and you can be young at sixty three. It's all in the head.

Akash played a backing role in Nisha's life after samir walks out. He took the onus and done his job marvelously well. The Card that he sends to Nisha made a lot sense and the surprise gift to Tanya was impressive. I'm happy for Nisha not getting married to Akash because It would really disappoint me. Finally I like the decision that Nisha made. 

The "Pesky-Puskis" is the best phrase I came across reading this one. 

Now that I've completed all the books of Preeti Shenoy. I'm eager for her 4th book to be out.
