I Too Had A Love Story - Ravinder Singh

Some books take you for a surprise. I was recently browsing a bookshop and came across a lot of young aspiring Indian Authors. Most of them were chicklits and female authors but to find a male author in this selection was a surprise. The title of the book struck a chord with me. Even I too had a love story....so I picked the book. Haven't never heard about the author nor the book. I felt I should try reading it, and boy did I feel touched. To know its a true story was even more touching and I could feel the pain the author must have gone through, through his words. It had a similar effect as Erich Segal's Love Story did to me. I would recommend this book to one and all.

P.S. Please don't make a trashy Hindi movie of this book adaptation. If you guys can't do justification don't ever make a movie.

Synopsis
Do love stories ever die?
Can modern day gadgets like mobile phones and the ‘http:\\ www’ era of internet bring you the love of your life?
You haven’t met her earlier, but commit to marry. Will you still call this a love marriage?
And what if on the engagement day while you pull the ring out from your pocket, you realize what you planned was just a dream which never comes true…?
How would you react when a beautiful person comes into your life, becomes your most precious possession and then one day goes away from you…forever?
Not all love stories are meant to have a perfect ending. Some stay incomplete. Yet they are beautiful in their own way. Ravin’s love story is one such innocent and beautiful story. He believes love stories seldom die. They are meant to stay for the generations yet to come and read them. And given that one chance to narrate his love story, this is how he began…
…I remember the date well: 4th March 2006. I was in Kolkata and about to reach Happy’s home. I had been very excited all morning as I was going to see our gang of four after three years.

Your review about the book is best and I would like to get hold of it.
Hope to see more of his writing.

Hi maddie,

I too read the book "I too had a Love stroy".
It is such a simple and beautiful love stroy.

I just wanted to say one thing to the author,
"Dont worry because you lost your Khushi. When you two start living together, there might be atleast one moment/incident when you feel angry or get upset with khushi. Or she might feel the same way. And God doesnt want even that trace of bad thing in your relationship. So that you could hold, only her sweet memories for the life time. Please take it that way."

I feel Ravinder and khushi to be blessed for whatever they had experienced together.

And coming to Ravin as a writer, he did an excellent job. The whole story went so smoothly.

Oh I loved this book as well. Picked it up when I was browsing through. The rate was appelaing enough for me to pick it up - INR 100 only. The book is a keeper. Ravin's style and his experiences are detailed so beautifully.I loved the way he describes the journey from Delhi to Faridabad, and the manner in which the detailing has been done.

Impressed with the book, I mailed Ravin. He was kind enough to oblige. There is no greater gift to a fan than to hear back from the writer, I can say.

Khushi is a enigma in the story, more so because she leaves Ravin. The intiail thrill, exclamations and the joys of the "falling" in love are some of the best portrayals I have read so far.
