Love can happen a lot of times.... after all we all crave for love :).


A review for Ravinder Singh's second novel:Can love happen twice.
Title: Can Love Happen Twice?

Madhu's stars: 3/5
Ravinder Singh, author of Indian bestseller, "I too had a love story-True story" , is back with  fiction this time. His previous novel was one painful read dedicated to his girl friend Khushi, who died a week before their marraige. His next book's title is apt for the story he has carried, and will be a interesting read for people who have had heart breaks.
The plot is simple but Ravin likes to add a sad flavor to his books. Ravin is still deeply immersed in Khushi's memories when he meets someone else.So will they fall in love? Will they get married? Will Ravin not feel guilty of loving someone else., when he loves khushi so much?Well read the book if you want the answers, but one secret which i can reveal is it has different sort of a setup. The whole book is actually a narration on the Radio by Ravin's friends on Valentines day.At a lot of places the story seems true and a lot of places it seems made up.
Personally i do not believe that love can keep happening a lot of times and also love can happen just once in life. Seems contradictory right? What i mean here is  if the other person has not cheated on you or has not died then it is difficult to move on. Since then its nobody's fault.But on the contrary if the other person does not give a damn about you then there was no love ever.   And one just has to move on and find true love. But we all crave for a little care, compassion and like to be made feel special and we are tend to fall again.
So if you think its time to move on, pick up this book, it might make you cry at the end or you might just toss it up in the air and say "what a waste of time", "How bollywoodish", but i think books of fiction are meant to be like films, they are meant to hold for those 200 pages and make you feel good. All in all, the book is very okay and the proof reading is bad. Ravin could have made it much better. The first novel was way better. This one seems too fake at times.

  1. completely agree with first 4 lines of your last paragraph..
    i too read first novel of Ravinder singh, which has a very sad ending. Overall, i felt bored at the style of writing and didn't think of reading his second novel yet.

  2. You understood meaning of Love now..I believe Love can happen twice. But this is also true that you can never forget your first love and You will always love your first love.
