Why Not Me? - 2 : The Pain of One-Sided Love by Anubhav Agrawal

 Why Not Me? - 2 : The Pain of One-Sided Love by Anubhav Agrawal

Why Not ME?

Have you seen any lovers falling in love? I have too seen many, but sometimes it is hard to say no if you don't love the other person who is fallen for you. I am reading several English and Hindi books this year, but I was eager to read one Hinglish book too. So I grabbed a lovely romantic story, "Why Not Me? - The Pain of One-Sided Love" by Anubhav Agrawal. My choice of book led me on a mesmerising journey of love, betrayal, and falling in love again. 
 
This book reminded me of the era when mobiles were introduced and people used to use the Hinglish method to convey their messages, as many of them didn't know how to express themselves well in English, unlike these days. Reading this book felt like reading a depressed and reserved person who was feeling betrayed after her lover left him, and he is finding ample reasons to find out the reason why she left him.
 
This book is part 2 of the series "Why Not Me?—A Feeling of Millions." It starts where the previous one finished. Though I didn't get a chance to read the previous one, this book gave me a complete overview of his life. Anubhav shares his feelings for Zoya and how he felt when she left him and didn't bother to answer him or feel guilty about her doings. This left him feeling heartbroken, diving into the messiness and emotional rollercoaster of his feelings. His genuineness made me feel so relatable many a time. His story made me feel the pinch of a tough breakup and the heavy weight of guilty feelings. 
 
Anubhav is trying to recover himself from the deep waters of love and feel for himself. In the meantime, he meets Saloni, who seems to help him out of the deep waters of loneliness. But Anubhav is not yet mentally prepared for a new relationship and doubts everything. 
 
It is intriguing to read about his fresh start with Saloni. She becomes a beacon of light in his darkness. But it is hard for Anubhav to believe that he can fall for someone again after Zoya. His inner fears are haunting him and making it hard to love and trust anyone. I was eager to find out if his love would become a success or not. 
 
Anubhav has well portrayed his emotions, and his Hinglish makes it feel so relatable. He has effectively conveyed his inner fears, insecurities, and hope that pulls the reader into his world. The narrative is lucid, with vivid illustrations of little moments of loneliness, silences that hit him secretly, slow emotional growth, and a simple life that is like that of a common lover.
 
Anubhav has meticulously depicted the basic downfall of any person who gets ditched in love and how he starts behaving after the ditch. His portrayal made me feel the insecurities that were making him go slow and doubt his love as he fears getting ditched again. Saloni is like a ray of light who brings new hope into his life and helps him heal. 

Overall, it is a romantic love story. Highly recommended!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales. How to make money might be in our control, but how money goes out of our pocket might not be, as psychology is in cohesion with marketing. Harinder Singh Pelia’s “The Psychology of Marketing” is all about how marketing creates a bond with the audience, thus tricking the audience into dwelling deep into purchasing th...
