                ‘Fitting into Life’ by Hasina Saiyeda is a story about a girl named Ritabhari who is suffering from a mental Illness known as Impulsive Control disorder. She had very caring friends who always think about her but due to this illness she has changed a lot and gets angry easily. Not able to handle this whole situation she even attempts to commit suicide several times. She has lost all her hopes from life until one day when she receives a phone call from one of her old friends and life changes for her. Who is this friend? How did her perspective towards life change? How did this friend help her? To know more read Fitting into Life.

My Thoughts:

                The plot is good and very different from what we usually get to read. We actually get to see the behavioural patterns of patients with psychological problems.

                The characters are well developed and the situation that Ritabhari was facing was a bit disappointing.

                The language was simple and lucid and the narration was also good.

                The book cover is beautiful and depicts the plot of the story and creates a hope in the minds of the readers that every sunshine brings something new and positive into everybody’s life. Bad days are just a phase of life and with our determination we can overcome them. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

                Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend it to others.

My Rating: 4/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
