Life is What You Make it--Book Review

The title of the book is so apt. Every page and scene of the book adheres to the title. Yes Life is what You make it. Actually You can either make it or break it which is very well narrated in the ankitas story in the book. The flow is so gripping that I finished the book in one and half day to be precise if I minus the lunch hours and small breaks and I was shouting on top of my voice when my mom was requesting me to dry the clothes or clean my room and etc etc while reading the book over the weekend!! She was shouting “ You and Your books. I will hide all of them” !

The sensitivity we should be having towards the patients with few disabilities and how they can be actually cured by little love and concern is also well narrated and it was realistic.. Its like the characters were coming out of each page and the events were happening right in front of me! I loved the book in and out. I remembered Taare Zameen par a bit where the dyslexic ishaan is treated nicely by aamir khan . MARK MY WORDS :: This book is entirely different from the movie and not at all a copy. But I could relate aamir khans role to the doc and also the bipolar disorder with the dyslexic disorder ! Love , Empathy and the way U treat people by reminding their strengths instead of their problems continuously and showing sympathy creates positive vibes and actually does wonders.

The whole of india is mostly orthodox. People believe heavily in traditions , family restrictions and many other age old beliefs. Be it kerala or Hyderabad or any other remote place in india. But ya after reading the book I felt Kerala is also a place where people can die to stick to their traditions and family values and respect like many other places in India! Its so common every where in india where if you see a boy and girl together you conclude that they are lovers or having some illegal affair !! Most of the Parents protect you and gauge you if you are a girl which actually creates suffocation…

The college life is described very naturally. You can actually relate to many chapters of the grad days of Ankita…her friends group..their feelings and every thing! The role which really touched me is Abhi’s . His sincerity, Love…though writing letter in blood is little dramatic are touching…I was almost in tears when Abhi says “ Just stay in touch That is it I want to ask Ankita” …”That is it” ..I guess it was 12:30 (past midnight) when I was reading this very part of the book and I really felt sad and couldn’t sleep for long after that . WAS LOST IN Thoughts!!

Preeti Shenoy is one of those rare authors who can embed emotions in correct amounts and at the correct point of time and never gives a over dose of it!The next chapters and the sequence of events made me think a lot!!!I shuddered at each and every progressive/retrogressive ?!? phases of Ankita and was just wishing the book shouldn’t end tragically ! Thanks to Preeti for making it a sensible end. I was really wishing Ankita excels in her creativity by the end of it which she does. I don’t know if its fact or fiction but there are many things which make U think a lot and make U feel its all real!!!!

Waiting for more books from Preeti Shenoy

Till then all book lovers can buy this book through flipkart.com and enjoy!:)

Work Vs SocialNetWork /Face Vs FaceBook

Work Vs Social Network

These days I am getting a big doubt am I working in midst of social networking or am i social networking in midst of working!!! SOCIAL networking is creeping in to my nerves , veins heart mind and soul...1 year back when i was using orkut ....I was able to cut it easily and get back to my other works , book reading or TV watching . I created a profile on Face book with my first ever profile pic of sonam kapoor from saawariya (Yes am obsessed with bful pics ;) and i don’t restrict them to just one person -----beauty is wide and seasonal)...Then I had may be 10—15 frnds and I was not that interested in chatting messaging or peeping in to their profiles..I felt it all silly but was curious why people are so addicted to it!! One fine day When I opened my orkut---I saw that there are no updates from any of my friends no new pics, no new communities or discussions or scraps. I thought “heck” What happened to all.. Have they got so busy with their work..and am I the only one who has unlimited free time ! then I just casually opened my facebook page may be after an year and saw some 20 friend requests and some new messages ,FARMVILLE invites so on so forth.. That was just the beginning. I guess I immediately got hooked..Accepted all of them and started peeping in to their profiles..slowly it became a habit ..Morning, Noon and Evening and until I sleep...I thought I will slowly get out of it......But HELL NO!! I was getting more and more deeper in to it....whether its making me happy or keeping me occupied or I have nothing better to do am not sure ..but I was and am very much on FB since the D day I reopened it after the down fall of orkut..The pic which got me was that ORKUT RIP one ..Awesome creativity and awesome way to show the up rise of FB!FB is in demand no doubt in it..

It feels good safe and glad when You see “N” number of friends in your list!! And the likes comments ...photos .,.. the creativity and many more.. I haven’t tried the games yet but heard they can keep u glued to the comp..FB is definitely innovative and a better social networking site with its own pros and cons .The Korean Orkut Büyükkökten must have cursed Mark Zuckerberg the number of times he gets comments on his FB profile or likes :P ....Well The facebook Grip and Orkut Rip both happened at the same time!! But did the grip made the relations or hampered them ..its still a open question !!

People are making face book their Face, postal address .......reachable place ......They started pouring their heart mind and soul in to it ..its acting like a pensive warehouse to them. Few days back I saw a friend of mine putting her status like “ My sweet heart not well today ..am so sad “ and 10, 15 No of comments beneath it saying ah oh...tc ...get well soon to ur hubby and she again liking the comment with some heart symbol in return :: I dont understand what she is doing on FB !When she is so sad she must be attending him. The WALL was never so wide withso many statements painted on it!! People scribble anything and everything on it..THERES nothing wrong in sharing your excitement and happiness but your husband’s health status ..Your bus being late,,,,Your sleep time..... F B wall has become synonymous to a personal diary to quite a lot of people ...well every one seeks attention! But this ASS (Attention Seeking Syndrome) should not become pain in ones ASS. Emotional quotes and inspirational quotes are still Ok, but hanging personal posters and almost censored pics totally on wall is some thing too heavy to bear....Well all offence meant to those who do it !I have seen a friend having her break fast, lunch, snacks ,tea everything while simultaneously chatting on FB with all kinda strangers! Well chatting should be atleast interesting Not like X: “ what are you wearing today ? whats in lunch. Hey i kept a photo ..do check..did u check my status today ?”

Y: have you seen my LIKES of the year pic ! do check ..am glad p is in 1st place....

Now god knows if P has checked it or not .Y will be double glad if P likes the Likes of the year photo and sad if some unexpected Q likes the photo and pays more attention to her..Coz Q may be an obstacle when she is trying to seek P’s attention.. Well this vicious circle of friends goes on and on !with no much result no much output...the emotions expressed here are harmless but at the same time useless . well as this site is in demand coz of emotions we cant calculate uses..though there are uses like increasing your readers if u write. Spreading a good cause in mass! II get the wedding update of a friend and the invitation in a message and I check it when they are in honey moon in kulumanali !Not DONE!! FB is not a place to invite even if they think they have personally done it!...........when comments were pouring in I realised she is married! Well I had no other choice than commenting

Slowly i also joined the league.. If i get a doubt some one is married or not ..i go to their profile check their status and pics..but i neither talk nor chat with them. There are many people in my office with whom I talk only on FB. Its not that we are very busy in our day to day lives. But its just that its “FB ERA” Nothing is so comfortable . You can talk, fight criticise or praise free of the burden of seeing each other or meeting. Thats what many feel !So i too got used to it slowly. I have seen people planning a meeting on FB that too all in comments.. Lets meet at nanal nagar at 4 says some X. Go to abids by 6 .....and so on so forth .. I think are they trying to hint some one that they are going some where !:) coz i don’t understand why they can’t simply call each other and plan !!

My Likes on FB are mostly the innovative fictional jokes

· Sania and shoaib maliks wedding and the Ayesha case :: Ayesha claims she knows shoaib malik.. Reporter asks “how do u know eeach other” Ayesha: “we were neighbours” Rep :”where” Ayesha : “ on Farmville

· Some cool innovative things like once i got a Christmas wish—fb way where jesus is born and joseph keeps updating his status ..in Jerusalem, in the farm—so on so forth

· And the funny facebook profiles of politicians ,actors/ actresses and even god is so funny !:)

I dislike FB becoz

· It hooks me to it for long

· I get up brush my teeth. Listen to songs on lappy but i cant resist my self from logging on to FB. What if some one is going some where today or some X has put one more drool worthy pic and 100+ boys have commented on it

· After noon I log in and check how many more comments she got so far or with whom he/she is going out to night .GOSH!! i feel i am knowing too much about their lives and where abouts with out even exchanging a single conversation !I hopeI don’t get a pop up like below when am facebooking

The constant updates which actually makes me feel am connected to the whole world but am Really connected to not even a whole of 10 people

Well some how this passion of facebooking , letting out emotions and booking plans on FB continues . Have to see till how many months or years this madness will continue ruling our minds...I believe this is the strongest addiction gripping the universe now which can hook people to it 24*7! REHAB centers may soon be in demand where facebook addiction is cured!!....I hope just born babies wont start facebooking and try searching their mom brothers and sisters profiles on facebook :P

I got a forward today
