Sunlit Hearts By Meenu Mehrotra
A very INTERESTING, BOLD,
DIFFERENT TOPIC TO READ AND converse…an appropriate tagline - "The Wound
is the place where the light enters you."
This is a novel by Meenu Mehrotra. The story is
about love, dreams, passion destiny and most importantly a girl’s (Medha) prospect
towards her unrequited love, her arranged marriage, her
quest to become an accomplished writer, and her role as a mother, all interwoven
resulting in a fascinating story of one woman’s walk through the storms of
life. And how she will validate Rumi’s saying, “The wound is the place where
life enters you".
This is the story about Medha who keeps trying
to pace up with her life and learns that her destiny is full of bliss and
distress in her relationships so as to experience all that life has to put
forward to her. Let’s see how Medha will get in touch with the man who truly
loves her by fleeting through the man she loves.
The story moves on with Medha, a strong woman who always listens to her
heart. She suffers a failed marriage with Rishi after which she fell into a
relationship with Nikhil, where she discovers the problems of her failed marriage.
The tremendous love and care for her son Yash forced her to return back to her husband
Rishi. The character of Rishi has been portrayed really well and so are his
sufferings. Even though when Rishi discovers Medha‘s betrayal still he gleefully
accept her back in his life. He wanted to make their relationship more strong
by becoming her friend. He loved her truly despite the discrepancies that happened
in their married life. It is all very well written.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
This is a novel by Meenu Mehrotra, who has done
an outstanding job and rationalisation to this story.
Very well narrated and written, the climax has
been portrayed really well.
The bonding, understanding amongst relations
has been portrayed so very well.
Even the climax of the story has been scripted
really well. The new concept of open marriage has been introduced in this novel,
which says a person can have wife and girlfriend at the same time and wife
should accept the second woman in his husband’s life. Though as per Indian
customs this is concept is completely wrong.
Some
suggestive points:
Overall the storyline is good indeed and very well expressed. At some
places Medha has been portrayed to be brittle.
Final words:
Overall
if asked I would say...this is an exceptional job done by author, Meenu Mehrotra.
