Book Review
P.S. I felt there was no better way to resume blogging because my father loved reading and this is one of the habits I took from him. Plus I still remember the day when he was really sick and could hardly speak but remembered asking me about the book I was reading. Love you Dad!

From the Blurb
Rohan and Ira’s life takes an unexpected turn when Ira decides to leave for New York to study. They’ve been married for only fifteen months, but this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and Rohan is not going to come between his wife and her dream. So, sad but supportive, he stays back in Delhi, where he is on the brink of a promotion at a national daily. After all, his relationship with Ira is strong enough to survive the distance. Rohan prepares for a year without Ira, getting by with a little help from his friends: Yusuf, his on-call confidant who lives in Bangalore; Alisha, a colleague he likes catching up with over tea; and Tanuj, his new role model at work. Life without Ira is going surprisingly well. Until the day, that is, she reveals the real reason she left.
My Views
Since the day I have bought my kindle (the hardships I faced with the Book not being on kindle is a matter of a different post); I have hardly read any paperbacks so agreeing to review this one was a change for me. The blurb of the book had attracted me and I am glad I chose to read this book. It is a short, sweet and very contemporary novel.
The book is a narration of a very open & contemporary marriage; and in a very subtle manner it ends up showing mirror to the reader. It makes you reflect about the things that we think really matter and the things that really matter.
A must read; I especially loved the way the author describes the protagonists love for specific cities; it made me reminisce about my favorite city and the reason that make it my favorite.
All in all a very good and quick read.
Rating: 4/5
