Review : It's My Love Story By Ajitabha Bose

Introduction:
After trying his hand in pocket books, Ajitabha Bose has come up with this very first of his novel which is the ultimate destination and dream of any given writer. This book has been published by Author's Ink Publication, Rohtak, Haryana, headed by Mr Aniket Kapoor. Primarily it's a love story unfolding in the backdrop of IMC, Delhi, the alma mater of the writer. What happened in this institute between 2010 and 2018, read the book which is available at Amazon.in and Paperfox.in.


The Story:
After getting admission into IMC, Delhi for a diploma course in Mass Communication, Aditya Mukherjee becomes friends with Vinay Kumar, Imran Khan, Sushant Singh, Smita Sharma and Janvi Kapoor. Where Aditya is a tad fatty and introvert, Janvi Kapoor is a beautiful and extrovert girl. However, bugged by his below average looks and low self esteem, Aditya finds himself misfit not only for Janvi but for any given girl, his plus points are his talent of film making. Eventually, his talent obliges Janvi to feel an attraction towards him and soon they fall in love.
This is a story of ambitions, emotions, dreams fulfilled, unfulfilled and even shattered, success and failures, crush turning into love and lot more. Suddenly something happens and Aditya's life turns upside down in a flash. What happened in this tale of love, explore the book - It's My Love Story.


Strong Areas Of The Book :
The novel has been written in a lucid, simple and soft language. Emotions of all the characters have been captured appropriately gradually building up their characters. The story goes smoothly and gradually progresses towards the end without stretching or dragging and keeps the reader hooked.

Areas Of Improvement: 
Actually, in any given story there remains a scope of improvement. I found this story as a story of almost all the young writers writing their debut novels and because it's oft repeated, it can be said as - old wine kept in new bottle. The description of college life is stereotypical and Ajitabh needs to work upon a new and unique subject for the next project which he will do surely.

My Take: A good story of young people's college-lives may relate and appeal to teens instantly. But,as it's written for a specific age group, it will have to strive hard to make a place among serious and mature readers. Ajitabha has big potential of storytelling and I look forward for his next creation pretty soon.
All the best and keep it up!
