A Second Chance

Relationships require openness, which means we have to let ourselves be vulnerable! But, make sure you are not letting anyone break you emotionally !!

A Second Chance by Sudeep Nagarkar is the story of a girl named Disha. It starts with her school time crush and ends with the love of her life. 

Disha is an introverted and very shy kind of a girl. Kajal is Disha's best friend and in a way, she is the only biggest strength for her in every situation. On the other hand, Raghav and Dhruv are best friends, Raghav being the flirtatious type and Dhruv being the sincere one. 

They all become friends, mainly because Disha has a crush on Raghav and the others want to help her. Meanwhile, Disha's grandmother, who is very close to her, dies. Disha takes a few days break from school only to return and realize that everyone parted their ways.

Fast forward to college, Disha and Kajal are still together. Thickest and strongest friends than before! Turns out, Raghav is also in the same college. Disha and Kajal tries to avoid him as much as possible, considering the fact that he being the reason for the entire fallout in school days. But, truth be told, the entire story which was portrayed back then in school days was not completely true. And though Disha is not the same shy girl as she was earlier, she is still hesitant to accept her deep feelings for Raghav !!

After clearing the misunderstandings, they once again become friends. This time, it did not stop with just friendship! Disha and Raghav soon became talk-of-the-college kind of couple. Disha is more than sure that her love life is back ! The love that she craved since school days. And the love that she did not find in her parents, who fight daily over petty things.

But...

Even before digesting the fact that she can also be loved by someone, Raghav leaves her due to some stupid commitmental anxiety issues. Disha is shattered. Actually traumatized!

You are allowed to breakdown, as long as you pick yourself back up and keep moving forward!!

Again fast forward to 2 years, Disha is working as a professor and is also busy with wedding preparations. Whose wedding you ask? Ofcourse not Disha's! It's Kajal's! 

By this time, Disha's parents are exhausted in search of a groom for Disha. And Disha is also tired of rejecting all the proposals for the fear of falling in the same love trap. But, she decided to give a serious shot for the next one. And turns out, its Dhruv this time. Considering the postive impression that Disha has on him, she is ready to go with the flow. 

(And did I mention that Dhruv had a crush on Disha? back in school days? I think you can imagine how happy Dhruv can be with this new alliance!)

Okay..So, Disha and Dhruv are happily married. And Disha is in cloud-nine with all the love that her husband and in-laws are showering on her.

Is this the happy ending which Disha always wanted?  

Why not?

Are there going to be any glitches because of their past mistakes?

Read it to know it!!

P.S: Though I did not find the story-line super impressive, the writing style is simple and easy to understand. And this book shows that family and friends matter too, to stabilize the person, when they go through major setbacks in life.

So, until next time...

Happy Reading !!
