Behind the Book
On a lazy Sunday morning, two young people are wheeled into Room No. 509 of GKL super speciality hospital. 

A brilliant nineteen year old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling her at a slow, painful, uncertain death.A wasteful twenty five year old drug addict, with no appreciation of life, with every organ system of his body slowly shutting down.

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

Death looms in the tiny 12X13 foot room as they fight for every breath of their lives, even as the doctors put them through unapproved experimental treatments to prolong their lives.How will the last month of pain and struggle change their lives? How will it transform the doctors who work steadfastly to make them live a little longer?



I felt
There was too much said and written about Durjoy Datta's books.I had read his first book Of Course I Love You! ...Till I Find Someone Better! and it did not appeal me to read his further work.
So reluctantly I bought this book during my travel and I must say this changed my opinion about Durjoy.

Book is about the 5 people,whom life has thrown at each others faces.Once together their life take new meaning all together .Where Pihu and Dhushaynat becomes life's misson of Dr Arman and Dr Zarah.

There are loads of emotional aspect of each character,each one fighting at their front.Dhushaynat,who has done every forbidden thing to himself to damage himself but still wants to undo things in his life.
Pihu who is smitten by the charm of Dr Arman is full of Never-say-die spirit.Both of them share a beautiful bond of humanity

The character as interwoven beautifully however story is predictable.It moves smoothly and every character is get a fair chance to connect with readers.

It was good experience,kudos to Dujoy Datta.

 Behind the Book
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 a relationship with each other, yet so much to gain.


I felt:
 
As I finished reading the book,I found myself humming this song by Eagles:
 
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide

Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

Tea for two and a piece of cake is promised to be an unusual love story and Preeti keeps her promise this time again.First thing that demands your attention is the Index of the books.Each chapter is the named after a  song.This book was also launched on Valentine's day.I guess a complete package for any romantic soul.
 
One can fine Nisha in their daily mundane life.She can be your friend or a neighbour.A girl next door but yet so strong and determined to face life on her condition.Nisha's plain life takes a turn when she meets Samir Sharma,her prince charming.Little cupid does its wonder and bizarre events takes them to alter and the moment you start guessing it happily ever after story,Pretty takes you a different world.Nisha faces setbacks and decides to enter new world full of uncertainty.
 
Akash and  Chetana old friend re-enters her life.Akash stands by her in all odds where as Chetana proves to be changing season.Akash gives her life a new dimension where as her dear neighbour provides her safe harbour.Will  she find the calling of her life ?Will she fall in love again ?Like said in song by Luisa Fernandez
                                                   
                                                  Give love a second chance
                                               Don't spoil this sweet romance
                                                   Live on within my heart
                                                         Lyrics source- Google
 
Do read the book and find out. 
 
 
Author has defined human relations beautifully.Be it falling in love for the first time,turmoil of being alone,going through divorce and then giving love another chance.Each one has unique shade and adds new dimensions to all the characters.This books reminds you to have faith in humanity,have friends ,laugh,make your own life.I truly enjoyed the book.
