Book Review #68 Just Missed Married : Himanshu Bhatia
This book was sent by the author in exchange of an honest and unbiased review.
Blurb:
While we try to arrange marriages by matching horoscopes and compatibility, we forget at times that “marriages are made in heaven”. We all love to say that Bollywood romantic movies are silly, and that they go overboard in their depiction of love, we actually secretly fantasize to be characters in them. Siddharth Gupta (lovingly called Sid) is an ISB alumnus, who is an ambitious perfectionist. He wants to go up the corporate ladder at a faster pace than his age, and is doing pretty well. In his matrimonial search, Sid meets Shreya Malhotra, who herself is an IIM graduate and very career oriented. He finds Shreya the epitome of the “Beauty with Brains” tag and develops a crush on her almost instantly. Shreya and Sid are going steady towards what looks like a ‘soon to be married’ state, but when has life been that simple! On her way to Bangkok for her friend’s bachelorette party, Shreya meets Shivam Malhotra, an IITian, with a living flirting tiger inside him. While Shivam’s cheesy lines ignite hatred in Shreya, it’s only the beginning of a story that doesn’t end in Thailand. “Just Married Missed!” is the journey of a practical arranged crush, chased by crazy filmy love.
My Take:
A refreshing take on love marriage.The author has intelligently yet subtly conveyed a message that "nothing waits in life, be it love or career". Siddarth, likes Shreya almost falls in love with her beauty but keep chasing his dreams of becoming a VP. Somewhere I feel he crossed the fine line in being ambitious and over ambitious and took Shreya for granted. Most of us in life miss out on simple joys and best things like Sid chasing our dreams.
Shreya, an intelligent and equally ambitious girl,meets Shivam filmy style,hating him first and theneventually falls in love.Then starts the dilemma of whether to be with or not to be with for them.The author builds up the suspense till a certain level, but it becomes clear as the end comes. I liked Shivam's character. His character tries to be true and right at the same time. The language and the narration is smooth and gives the story a nice support.
