If you believe in magic of love, true love, then this book
is for you. If you think that nobody in this world is perfect to make right
choice every time he or she is at a crossroad, then again this book is going to
deliver you some interesting stuff throughout. And if you feel that before you
take action on someone’s mistake – someone close to you in life, hold on for
some time and introspect within to check if you are one of the reasons for this
mistake, and you have the guts and wits to realize it; and have heart to pardon
the mistake; then again this is an interesting story to read on. The book I am
talking about is Unravelling Anjali:
Diary of an Immigrant Bride by Nim Gholkar.
The last chapter of Unravelling
Anjali: Diary of an Immigrant Bride by Nim Gholkar
made my eyes tearful thrice – at three different instances happened in the
climax of the story. The story is quite engrossing and interesting to keep you
connected with the main characters of the story. Lead character of the story is
Anjali Jathar, a young girl from Maharashtra, who unexpectedly gets married to
a boy of her caste residing in Australia, thus becoming an immigrant bride.
Anjali is married to Ravi and is destined to travel alone to Australia after
getting married, getting her visa etc. The story period is somewhere around
1998. Ravi is a divorcee and is settled in Australia during his study days.
After completing his studies there, he got a very good paying job but in lieu
of demanding high level of engagement with work even during working days, and
substantial amount of travel across Australia.
After moving to Australia, Anjali, the central character of Unravelling Anjali: Diary of an Immigrant
Bride by Nim Gholkar
always found a silent distance between Ravi and her the moment she met with him
at the airport after landing there. For a long time she keeps thinking and in
fact pointing out the same to Ravi regarding his high amount of engagement with
work and less involvement with her. Ravi on the other hand is a man with lot of
dreams to be fulfilled for which he has to get faster promotions and to earn
lot of money. But all this happens at the cost of his newly married life where
he is not able to pay attention to. And Ravi also decides not to get a child,
at least for next 5 years, till he is well settled and has earned good money.
Except love, time and attention from Ravi, Anjali has no other scarcity in
life. Ravi in a way is quite dominant on Anjali regarding whats and hows of
life which she is not able to absorb well.
Finally Anjali decides to go for job and that brings in a
big storm in her life. The engrossing story of Unravelling Anjali: Diary of an Immigrant Bride by Nim Gholkar
takes you through the confusing state of Anjali where she gets stuck on whether
to listen to her heart or to her mind…
Overall a very interesting, engrossing and emotional story
woven extremely well in Unravelling
Anjali: Diary of an Immigrant Bride by Nim Gholkar.
