Book Review: Life is What You Make It by Preeti Shenoy

‘Life is What You Make It’ was the second book of Preeti Shenoy followed by her first novel ‘34 Bubblegums and Candies‘.  The book is based on the subject of love that has been set in India in the 90s. Life is What You make It by Preeti Shenoy is the story that somehow let the readers believe in the immense power of love & how it collectively combines with hope to win over the destiny.
The Story of the book, Life Is What Make It by Preeti Shenoy, depicts the love life of a girl named Ankita who is in her 20s and has some issues in the past which makes her haunted every time.  As she grows up from adolescence to a woman, Ankita had affairs with a couple of guys, but her parents always refused to accept her situation which made her violent in behavior and certainly, she became the victim of Bipolar Disorder.
 ‘Life Is What You Make It’ revolves around Ankita’s struggles and it has been beautifully captured by Preeti Shenoy.  The way Ankita decides to help her own self and battles these situations all by herself is the main attraction of the book ‘Life Is What You Make It’. The title of the book Stiffly stands upon the meaning it reflects and the entire write up of ‘Life Is What You Make It’ by Preeti Shenoy is commendable.
Preeti Shenoy has penned several books, but ‘Life Is What You Make It’ is counted among one of her best works so far

Zadie smith: Book Review: Swing time

Author:  Zadie Smith Pages:  464 Price:  INR 599 Genre:  Fiction, Contemporary, Literary Fiction Swing Time  is Zadie Smith’s fifth novel and for my money her finest. A “best friend bildungsroman” in the Elena Ferrante mould, the novel tells the story of two girls growing up on the wrong side of town. Residents of neighboring housing estates in London, the pair meet at a community dance class, one (the unnamed narrator) clever and self-doubting, the other (Tracey) confident and self-destructive. As with the Italian bestseller, the talented friend is the tortured one – prematurely sexual, rebellious at school, ungoverned at home – while the less gifted is an able student, determined to make it out of the neighborhood. It gives little away to say that she does, becoming an assistant to a pop star called Aimee. It is by Aimee’s side that she travels the world, jetting from winters to summers. For its plot alone,  Swing Time  makes for truly marvelous reading. The narrato

Even after Avni’s repeated appeal to him to name her instead of Shreyasi, he keeps using his virtual girlfriend’s name. The plot becomes chaotic when Shreyasi comes back to life, the plot becomes

It is my fault to be pretty

I am a flower, a daisy who used to live on top of a mountain. I lived among other daisies, some grass, and a few trees. Life as a daisy was very peaceful and enjoyable. Every morning I woke up and gazed at the crystal blue sky; it promised me another day. The sky would darken later on and the stars would say goodnight to me. I lived on a lonely hill, not many humans visited it. I liked it that way. I felt safe on the hill. I felt safe knowing that I had the grass, the trees, and other daisies around me. I felt safe knowing that the sky was blue and that is promised me another good day. I felt safe when the stars said goodnight to me and when the sky would darken. I liked living on the hill…correction, I loved living on the hill. One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was gray. I saw people on the hill. The people walked over to the other daisies. I watched someone pick one of the other daisies. The human couldn’t hear her sh
