      In, the process of growing up and earning money in life we humans forget about the meaning of true relationships and love. The people and things which we treasured during our childhood days turn out to be unwanted and unimportant ones later in life. When, we are small our parents take care of us but when we grow up we forget that we should also take care of them because old people are the grown up children. The real happiness in life lies not in any materialistic things rather happiness lies in the smile of our loved ones and one who understands that wins life.

He is the grandfather of that young man Ayan. This story have taught me about the importance of relationships in life. The relationship with our grandparents, parents and all the elder ones in our family. When we grow up in life we think that we are more knowledgeable than our parents but this attitude indicates that we are still immature in heart and mind.

     I have read this book even before an year back but the diary entries in the book which was written by Gopal Shanker remains fresh in my memories. That have taught me about the importance of writing journal and diary in life.

      Do read this book because it has many things to teach you. The book holds infinite lessons which will be useful for the young adults. The best line from this book which I loved the most is that "Once a flame is lit, it can burn brightly and divide into a hundred little flames".

      In, life we always wait for that “big beautiful and happy moments”. Our mind never works in the way to celebrate the most ordinary things and moments in life. We consider our life as a boring and a mediocre one. All this happens because we have too many imaginations which is only a part of fiction. We always get worried about the non-existing things like fairy land, time machine and so many of our own imaginations. Life is beautiful and precious in its own way.

Name of the Book: The Secret Wish List

Author: Preeti Shenoy

      We humans love to judge others based on their looks, career, family background, etc. We never even try to look things from the other person’s perspective, we have never walked in their shoes but we judge others all the time. When others do that same to us we get irritated about their behavior but we never care about our own attitude. As, a human being we should always be non-judgemental towards others because we never know the pain which the other person is undergoing.

      The book “The Secret Wish List” by Preeti Shenoy portrays the life of Diksha, the protagonist of the novel. This book is loved many readers but thousands readers have turned out to be the critics after reading this book. We should always approach a text by throwing away all our own thoughts and beliefs because a art has many things to teach to the human kind.

      The biggest lesson which the book have taught me is that “Never hate others before knowing there story and be Non-Judgemental”. In, life we unlove many people but that should not turn out to be hatred because Hate is a big word.

     Do read this book to understand the human emotions and pain.

Name of the Book: The One You Cannot Have

Author: Preeti Shenoy

       Life is different from what we think but life is more beautiful than what we assume. The real mystery of life is always unknown to the humans. We humans may not get what we expect in life but what we receive at last will be more valuable that what we have lost in our life. Many of us fail to understand this fact of life and so we suffer.

      The book “The One You Cannot Have” by Preeti Shenoy portrays both the pain and the beauty of human life through love. We believe that "humans are the creatures of love". We love to be loved and we consider our loved ones as the most important person in this universe. Here, in this book the protagonist Aman loves Shruti and Anjali loves Aman.

      We always love that one person whom we cannot have in our life. We may have so many loving and caring people around us but our heart will always search for the ones who have left us. At that point we have to understand that the real beauty of love and life is “Letting Go of the things we cannot have”. Holding on to something will always hurt us and after sometime we try to accept things which is very hard to practice.

     To lead a happy life we have to understand people and their situations. So, understand love and also your loved ones. There will always be a great void in our life when we don’t have that person we love in our life but that is not the end of our life rather it is a indicator to show that life can be beautiful with all the broken pieces. It is possible to fix those broken pieces and be happy in life.

Name of the Book: The Rule Breakers

Author: Preeti Shenoy

      There are many books and many writers but only few books and few writers can make us think. One of the best writer who portrays the value of life, relationship and love is none other than Preeti Shenoy. Her books are always an eye-opener for the readers in many ways. Here, for the next seven days I am going to write the positive elements present in the books of Preeti Shenoy’s. I personally love her writings so much and now I like to share my views about her books. Today, I love to start with one of my most favorite book “The Rule Breakers”.

      The book “The Rule Breakers” by Preeti Shenoy is about the story of a girl named Veda. She was from a small town called Joshimath. The plot was set in middle 90’s but the few incidents from this book are most relevant even to the present day world. The most important thing which I love about this book is it has a female protagonist but the book is not about feminism. We usually hear stories form a male perspective but this book narrates a story from a female perspective. Veda is not from a city rather she is a small town girl but her ambition and passion in life were always high. The book teaches us that “Never limit your Dreams and the place you come from never decides your talent and potential”.

       Marriage is one of the major subject which is dealt in this book. A married woman is always afraid of breaking her marriage even if her marriage was not a successful one. We are always afraid to face the society and we are more concerned about their opinions but life does not work in that way. The book teaches us about individuality, maturity and teaches all right things about life.

       Do read this book to gain self-confidence in life. This book will make you believe that life is different and beautiful than we assume and think.

      We will never forget the first book which we have read in our life. It will be stored as a evergreen memory in our heart. The first book which we read will make a great impact within us towards books and reading. The first book I have read in my life is Preeti Shenoy’s “Life is What You Make it”. The book revolves around it’s protagonist Ankita, a girl in her 20’s. She suffers from bipolar disorder but she overcomes that through her zest for life.

      The book “Life is What you Make it” gives us three important lessons or moral to each and every individual who read this book. The first and the foremost important lesson is that “Never belittle Love”. Love is considered to be the superior of all human emotions. The book teaches us to love ourselves and also the people around us without any sorts of regrets.

      The second most important lesson the book teaches us is that “We are what our thoughts have made us. So take care what you think”. Here, we can know how important and powerful human thoughts are. Thoughts have the immense power to transform our life. The book reminds us to have good thoughts in life because our thoughts design our destiny.

      The last and the most important lesson the book tells us is that “Words and kindness have the power to heal more than medicines”. This indicates that words are always the companion of humans and kindness will make us love our life even more than we do.

      The book “Life is What you Make it” teaches us to love our life more than anything in this world and tells us that life gets better with positive energy. So, as a human we should be positive towards life and living.
