Love Happens at Unexpected Place
Book: Love Story of a Commando by Swapnil Pandey
At some point in their life, everyone meets someone,
with whom they want to be. You could meet that person anywhere. But feeling
that spark with Braveheart sure is an unexpected experience. This book is a
story of a soldier who met her love of his life in an unexpected operation. I
have read this book three times and it always gives me the same overwhelming
feeling as I am reading it the first time. This post is based on the story of a
soldier who meets his soul in an operation. I want to share my views on this
book written by Swapnil Pandey.
Brief of the Love Story of Viraat and Riya
It starts with a knight and shining armor who was
kissing his princess in a painting when She fell on him. It was love at first
sight for both of them. Both of them felt the sparks between them. However, the
meeting was short and both of them got apart from each other. Destiny brought
them together again in an unexpected situation in Mumbai where he saved her in
a Terrorist attack and expressed his feeling. Looks like destiny has its plan
and they end up parting from each other. She moved to Kashmir and they both
collided there when they got attacked by terrorists again. Accidentally crossed
the border. They fought, loved, and share their moment.
What Is the beauty of this Love Story?
If I want to pinpoint what I like the most. I like the
way the character was named after the few soldiers whom I know as I could
relate them to the story. I like the way the story ends with a beautiful and
subtle view of living happily ever after. One should not relate this scenario
to a real-life event as it is fiction and it would not have any chance of this incident to
happen in real life. It also a privilege that you could read it again and again
as I have done it three times. It still gives you the feel of the romantic
novel.
Scenario Where I didn’t connect with character’s
nature
I don’t think there is anything I dislike about this
story. I just didn’t get the part where He has to leave her without any
explanation. I could understand leaving her and not contacting her as it was
just a sudden meet. But in the second meet, they expressed their love. One
should have a chance to explain things to the other. One thing that could bug
is Captain Viraat leaving his team to save her. It is weird for an SPG of a PM
to do that when he is assigned. However, there is a layering of the guard so it
could be avoided as it is fiction. I didn’t find it odd.
Characters for who you Fell for?
If you don’t have favorite characters from a story; I
think you should read that book again to understand it. So, I do have a long
list of my favorite characters. They are-
1.
Horse,
Knight and Princess
2.
Terrorist
in Taj Hotel
3.
Honorable
Prime Minister
4.
Captain
Aakash
5.
Major
Tushar
What do you want from this Story to take?
If I want to take away anything from this book is
Captain Viraat with due permission from the writer. I felt a different feel
whenever I read his story though I didn’t like his abrupt absence from her life
in this story.
What was added to your Vocabulary?
As every book teaches you something that’s the best
thing that has happened to you. This book has surely increased my vocabulary.
The new words that have become part of my vocabulary are-
1.
Neanderthals- Neanderthals are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans who
lived in Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago.
2.
Cacophony- a mixture of loud, unpleasant sounds; noise
3.
Exuberance- effusively and almost uninhibitedly enthusiastic; lavishly abundant
4.
Moorish- The term "Moorish"
comes from the Western European designation of the Muslim inhabitants of these
regions as "Moors", which itself comes from
Latin "Mauri"
5.

sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with the person.
They can be gay, straight, bisexual, or pansexual, and may have any gender

traces back to the far more innocuous Greek word daimōn, meaning "spirit,
deity.")
What do you learn from a Reading Habit?
I would request all people to make a habit of reading
a book. You will learn a lot from fiction books as well. You could learn about
the experience of the situation they were in. Their experience will teach you
the strength to make your decision wisely and strongly whenever you face any
difficulty in your life. Also, you will learn new words by reading different
books of different genres too.
