I Too Had a Love Story
There is love, and there is pain. Love never comes alone; it brings pain along with it a forever ache. It feels like love and pain are two sides of the same coin. You can’t escape one without holding the other. It’s a love story of Khushi and Ravin. They met on a matrimony site. Their initial formal conversations started through messages and phone calls. Living in two different cities in India, their hearts began to feel connected from the moment they started talking. They fell in love without seeing each other in real life, just based on their photos. Khushi belongs to a big family with sisters and brothers-in-law, whereas Ravin comes from a small family with his parents and one brother. Their bond gradually grew as they discovered common interests, such as their birth months, musical tastes, and MBA backgrounds.
First love feels refreshing. It’s like you can’t breathe without it. Even though love has no smell, it feels as if a flower is blooming near you, spreading its fragrance all around. Without giving any spoilers, I want to say this book is very relatable for millennials. In our 20s, we fall in love without thinking twice. It is the person’s nature that makes us fall in love with them. This story brought back memories of first love if you have and the nervousness, the small moments, everything. This is not only Ravin and Khushi’s story, but it also belongs to almost everyone who has fallen in love at least once in their lifetime.
Thank you, Ravinder Singh, for reminding us of the sweetness of love. This book will stay in my heart forever. It has two other parts, and I’m eager to read them, but this one will always remain special. You can easily slip into the world of Ravin and Khushi. Give it a try. Books have sold over 3.5 million.
