People out there, getting married? Is it an arranged or “Prearranged” one?
This is a story of an independent Indian girl who is happy in her life and work. But who according to her mother is now of an age to get married. Her mother starts looking for a perfect groom for her daughter. She insists her daughter to at least meet these men and see if things can work out.
A Prearranged Love by Anusha Vishnampet is a similar such story of Rekha Ramkumar who lives with her mother in Hyderabad. Having lost her father at a young age, she is very close to her mother and shares almost everything happening in her life. Her mother then finds a match for her and asks her to meet him. After debating for a while she agrees to meet him.
There comes handsome Arjun Kalyan. She found him good looking the first time she saw him. Then there starts the differences and argument between both when he calls her “Shorty”. With all the feminism in Rekha she definitely was not going to shut her mouth and says some nasty things to him. Both decide not meet again ever. Here’s how their blind date ends.
Returning home Rekha was sure she has to answer her mom’s questions. With daily routine in the office, there comes a new project for Rekha’s team with some IT company. As decided, she and her colleague reach “Softech” for meeting. To her astonishment she finds Arjun in the meeting room. What fate has to bring them now? Arjun had said some stuff which got her irritated but he was in awe with her smile and those dimples. And now both had to deal with each other. Work, presentation and meetings were all going good.
This book is one such piece that can make one remember the moments when one starts feeling for someone. With no twist and turns and no drama seems a true story. With easy and simple language each and every moment is beautifully emoted. With all its purity, it unknowingly brings a smile on your face.
Like any other Indian arrange marriage where both are in a kind of dilemma about commitments and marriage is what same is with Rekha and Arjun. After an argument about getting married, denying about not being ready but still cannot imagine life without the other, they come to a point where they had to take a big decision of life.
Rekha looking forward to getting married and Arjun not ready for the same, again puts him in trouble by telling this to Rekha. But her smile and every minute detail on Rekha’s face that he had looked for doesn’t let him stay away from her. Of course, he now was finally in love with her.
Things now become interesting and with all the confusion and embarrassment, he finally speaks his heart out to her.
(PS: Someone is definitely going to cross your mind. Do enjoy the moment :D)
