My Review
Let
me sum it up in three words- fresh, perfectly stringed and above par description
of places and events.
The
Colour of Love by Jagdish Joghee is a story which revolves around protagonist
named Sarfaraz and his life. Sarfaraz who hails from middle class, born and
brought by Muslim parents, he too inculcated strong values from his parents.
Sarfaraz when hit his college he created canvas of memories, some turned out to
be fun while few as a nightmare.
The
title of the book goes with the story, the cover could have been better.
Whereas the book was mixture of teen romance and a thrilling one.
Narration- Narration of the
book was fast paced keeping the storyline together. Nowhere I felt being astray
from the story, the book was tempting to be completed in a single sitting.
Language- Being the second
novel by Author, he kept the promise of surprising his readers; the language was
simply beautiful and really fresh. A positive punch.
Characters I enjoyed
the most –
Sarfaraz- Sarfaraz being protagonist
keep it’s reader hooked. Boy who might not be boy next door but made girls turn
on heels with his impeccable gesture and way of persuation. Sarfzraz, who keep
seeking love in beauties but then end up being infatuation and when he realized
his love; it was too late to meet the ends but then his life surprise him.
Megha
– Megha who one the other side born and brought up in an affluent family was
just contrast of Sarfaraz, even they’re religion differs but she was different
unlike other spoil rich brat. Megha was a down to earth girl and who kept
protecting her friend Sarfaraz .
Rest
all characters were justified and enjoyable.
Portions which I
enjoyed the most –
The
book comprises many segments from a middle class boy life to the impact of
political powers, from newbie crushes to intense feeling called love which is
felt once and stayed forever.
I
thoroughly enjoyed from the being the way Author has described a nuclear Muslim
family who lead a life like a Spartan and morals with all righteous upbringing
and thought school.
Other
portion which moved me when Author folds the story to college life, while
flipping the pages my memories were even flashing back. College crushes,
hustle- bustle, the fest celebration and friendship for lifetime; all these perfectly
described.
Author
has even mentioned the major gap between religions(Hindu and Muslim) but it diminishes
by love and humanity. Book kept me
hooked on a seat till last page, the suspense part was very well kept and
written. Trust me, I don’t read the book but I lived.
Negative Punch –
1.
Book cover could have been better.
Book Recommendation-
Book is strongly recommended to those who
believe in love, to those wants to cherish college-hood and it’s memories and
to people who wants to read on friendship. The Colour of Love is compact of all
these elements.
Overall Rating – I would rate The
Colour of Love 4/5 stars for being the
gripping story with perfect story telling art. Book has entered to my favorite
book list.
