― Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Oleander Girl

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is known for writing stories that are jam packed with truckloads of emotion and drama, which I only read at occasions when I am in some emotional dilemma. However, Oleander Girl is a novel of all moods and seasons and has won over me. The novel is stuffed to sensibility which perfectly suits the protagonist who is seventeen years old and the soap opera plot twists seem par for her course.

 Oleander Girl is a coming of age novel in the best tradition and is the best of its kind. It opens up the story of a heroine, whose evolution has been from inconsiderate pampered blossom to a human being who comprehends risks and consequences and readily bears accountability, which is just plausible and natural. 

The book is a rare contribution to the society which comes up with the elements that everyone would want to savor and will grab the readers’ interest which will convince them to turn up the pages as to find out what happens next in the story. The novel, Oleander Girl is such a delightful read that while reading it, I found myself wishing that it would never end. And when eventually it ends, it leaves you with a lingering effect, to a great extent like that of the scent of oleanders.

 Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has done it all over again here with this novel as she is well aware of  her craft, the portrayal of characters and the narration of the story that draw you in, along with an effective use of imagery, imposing dialogue that rings true and situations which are experienced and faced by ourselves in our lives.

 The author has represented a fine understanding of human nature with their complexities. The characters in her novels are living and existing people. The novel is written in multi-person narrative style with the voices of Korobi, her fiance Rajat, her grandmother, Rajat’s mother and the family chauffeur Asif. With the progress of the story and moving perspectives in the story, the doubts, fears and anxieties plaguing each person are exposed. The characters in the novel are portrayed as struggling hard to rise above their flaws whereas the readers will find themselves  rooting for them.

 From a country that is just emerging from the 2002 Gujarat riots to a post 9/11 U.S.A., the writer has touched upon concerns and problems of religion, caste, race, gender and economic inequality.  The novel is stuffed with weighty issues on one side and on the other side, it is filled with the emotions like love and relationships including filial bonds, romantic love and all the bonds that encourage us to be the best adaptation of ourselves. Really a gem of a novel.

Indian Express, “The voyage of discovery [Korobi] undertakes, and the secrets, lies and buried tensions she unearths along the way — is the stuff of a classic coming-of-age story, with the added excitement of a quest. . . . Divakaruni's language is lyrical. . . . Rajat's transformation from Prince Charming to a more complex romantic interest is one of the book's more pleasurable aspects. He embodies a struggle between the traditional and the modern, the product of a time and a country that has yet to define itself. Divakaruni’s Kolkata is a teeming cosmopolis, the beating heart of the book”.

In the prologue, the novel has made its base with the present state of the protagonist who is shown as sitting on a chair in the doctor’s office and is mulling over the past and focuses attention on a little known disease-Bipolar disorder. The story begins with a flashback and falls upon a place where Ankita sends letters to Vaibhav and his reply to her letter. With the turning up of pages, we are shown off that Ankita’s parents are conservative and not quite like her friendship with the boys. Thus, they start sneaking around her.

The plot is laid down in the 80’s and tells the tale of two cities. Ankita has always been a bright student, and for that she gets admission into one of the South India’s best colleges. The novel has it all what a college girl feels and can do after releasing out of her strict and narrow minded parents’ home. Her journey follows with a set of events including love affairs, tomfoolery along with some studies. However, Ankita soon faces some turns topsy-turvy in her life and is diagnosed with a psychological illness- she develops Bipolar Disorder.

The story revolves around Ankita’s illness and her ability and willpower to fight with it and how she overcomes her destiny with her determination. It is a tale of love and hope. “This is frightening, this world without words, this world of darkness and void. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to make it stop.. To be trapped like this in one’s own body is a fate worse than death. With death, at least there is an end. Here, the suffering is endless.”Now let me throw light on some of the hits and misses in the story:

The Hits
Starting with the hits I would like to tell you that the opening of the story, in fact the prologue has been done is a well versed way. With prologue only I got impressed as it laid a foundation for the story. The novel opens up with the mental hospital, which made way for the story to rise as it creates curiosity among the readers from the page 1 itself. Then there are conflicts shown in the story which the protagonist faces in her life about choosing between career and love, which is a part of every youngster’s life which helps the store to relate it to the readers.

The book seems to be light hearted and breezy in its opening pages and while turning up the pages of the book a reader will get immersed in its intensity which will give a base towards the captivation end of the story. Along with that the story also gives readers an insight about the bipolar, a rare disease.

The Misses
When talking about the misses, in my context the story at some certain points confuses a reader to to what caused the psychological disease that Ankita suffers from. I wish, this part could have also been portrayed well while reading this part I was little bored with monotony. However, it ends with just a few pages and after this part the story moves at a rapid pace.

Conclusion
To conclude with my review, the author Preeti Shenoy has done a great job in weaving of a beautiful and emotional story. She has carefully crafted the characters and their emotions and has showcased the society’s behavior towards them.

A candid review of 'Who Wrote the Bhagavad Gita? – A Secular Inquiry into a Sacred Text by Meghnad Desai’

“karmanyevaadhikaaraste maa phaleshu kadaachana | maa karmaphalaheturbhuu maatesangotsvakarmani ||”

“A person has the right towards action alone and not towards the fruit of action. Let not the fruit of action be the motive for acting. Also, let there not be any attachment to inaction.”

In the layman’ language, the above said Sanskrit proverb literally states that one should work, considering his responsibility and should not expect the fruits of Karma. Thus, you will gain the purification of your heart, which is a path to get Moksha. These lines have been said to Arjuna by Lord Krishna in the battlefield, during the war in Mahabharat. Krishna further explains that a person has the right towards action alone and not the fruit of his action. Fruit should not be the motive of one’s action and there should not be an attachment to inaction.

Born in India, Meghnad Desai is British Economist Lord Meghnad Desai is known for holding globalization in a well efficient manner, which in turn has clearly indicated that hi effort had improved Indian democracy. The just-released new book, 'Who Wrote the Bhagavad Gita? – A Secular Inquiry into a Sacred Text by Meghnad Desai' ,is portrayed as a humanist critique of the Gita. The book describes about the Bhagavad-Gita as well as the Vedas and the Upanishads, which makes up as a basic arpeggio (prasthanatrayi), associated with the Hindu religion.

Bhagawad Gita is by far one of the most revered and holy books among Hindu sacred texts as it makes up the base for the emerging of most of the ideologies of the Hindu religion and of course it is one of the reasons of the existence of the Hindu religion in The world. It is recognized as a conscience keeper, playing a role of a compendium and also is a source of inspiration to the people from all across the world. Bhagwad Gita indeed is the most widely interpreted and read books in the world. Yet, in the modern time, the story of this great Indian epic appears to be far stretched to the readers. Thus, in order to make a secular inquiry over the divine origin and authorship, Meghnad Desai, introduces a book ‘Who Wrote the Bhagavad-Gita?’ in order to to unravel the identity of its author.

The book opens up by giving a brief background about the text, including its importance during the historical times as well as the contemporary. The author, in this book states how Gita used to be employed as a uniting factor during the freedom struggle as a weapon in anti-colonial struggle movement. The book has also inscribed few commentaries made by many famous people such as            Vivekananda, Tilak, Gandhi, Ambedkar etc. on the Gita is briefly explained and has also added a few lines about the evolution of Jaya to Bharata and then to Mahabharata. The author further gives a conclusion about Gita  that it was not writer by one, but three authors. The author described the facts with a different style from that of the original one. He further talks about the facts in detail that out of the total 700 verses, the first author wrote 126 verses, the second author 119 verses, and the third author 455 verses.

The first author wrote during the pre-Buddhist times, around 600 BCE, and mostly for a learned and high-class audience. The main philosophical concern is sanyasa and the answer is karma-yoga. The second author was a contemporary of Buddha and he mentioned the philosophical issue as karma and the key to crack it is sattvikatva. The third author is the editor and the final arbiter of the document, and is dated to be around 300-300 BCE. 

In this book the author has endeavored to find the identity of these three authors and has also mentioned the main concern of the present generation is ‘diverse creeds’ and the solution is Bhakti.

Meghnad has used very few and selected works for his research and the conclusions drawn by him are based on Khair’s research.

Though, the book is interesting and has opened up with many new facts about Bhagwad Gita, yet if it would have been written with some more research work, it would have been interesting with the answers with some of the interesting questions.

To find out more religious facts and Hinduism, just read it out this book and discover some of the interesting things of the past. Buy books online at lelobooks and get your favorite book at your doorstep. Hurry now and win attractive discounts! The book is worth reading!

Ask him what he guesses about your future together, he really sees you in his future or are no doubts that everything he will talk about would hold few hopes about you two being together, but in case he is all focused around what he is planning for himself entirely and his future then its time you must straighten your facts with him.

Accepting you with all your faults, trying to help not only you, but your allies as well in various places you can conceive of, ready to make compromises where they are necessary are a few signals which can tell your man is ready to lead the next big step which is all about commitment and creating a future together.
