Rafflesia The Banished Princess by Gautam is like The Smell of Innocent Happiness. It is a story of two different worlds. These worlds are the world of childhood and the world of adulthood. The lead character of this story is Appu or Apurva who lives each of this world with such an innocence that brings back your own childhood memories. The story connects with your heart, soul, and mind at various points. In fact, you will find a different kind of maturity in Gautam's writing style. It is something very different that is coming straight from the heart. And probably that is the reason that it is able to connect so well right since the beginning. In addition, the flow of the story is flawless. It is an emotional story of Apurva's journey with a right mix of seriousness in it. In fact, Leadstart books are generally like this and that is why those are my favorite.
Rafflesia is a parasitic flowering plant. It has no
stems, leaves, or roots. But still, it has its own beauty. And probably
it is one of the largest flowers in the world. I could relate Appu in
Rafflesia The Banished Princess as an innocent prince who has to banish
his happiness at various stages of life. But still, there is a smell of
innocent happiness in the book. In fact, Appu is a strong character that
goes with the flow of life so innocently that there is no place of any
manipulations. It is like accepting the life as it is in the most
honorable manner and respecting every piece of happiness or pain it
gives. Rather, it is like honoring every moment of life in the most
graceful and respectful manner.
At some moment of time, the story
of Rafflesia The Banished Princess might appear as a compilation of
lovely short stories with a common factor as Appu. The life is about
connection and bonding between various characters in Appu's life. In
fact, it is a journey of life and a life-size journey. For Appu, it could
be a matter of irreconcilable differences. As a matter of fact, Appu is
a lovable, innocent, matured and adorable character. Rather you will
start finding that innocence in Appu within you that probably is lost
under the dust of time. Overall, this is a lovely book that probably
everyone would like to read. As it makes you stand in a valley of Tulips
where you forget your pains, glories, and life for a while and become a
part of Appu's journey.
