04 Oct 11 34 Bubblegums and Candies – Must Read
34 Bubblegums and Candies is written by the Indian author Preeti Shenoy and this debut novel of hers carries all incidents that we face in our lives, be it good or bad. It is essentially a collection of 34 real-life incidents, based on her life, and narrated in second person. This book is funny, thought provoking and is an extremely good read for everyone.
Preeti was earlier an avid blogger who decided to publish her first book in 2007 that has since then gone on to win major laurels. She used to earlier write articles for some of the major newspapers in her country and had a sizable fan following. This also translated into the success of her book as it has gone on to top the charts and has featured in almost all the major best-seller lists in her country.
The novel, 34 Bubblegums and Candies, is divided into two phases of life mainly candy and bubblegum. The author says that life does become a bit messy when the bubble bursts. Or in case we bite off more than we can chew, then the candy too becomes uncomfortable for us. Through the use of smart examples and real life situations, the author captures every phase of life in a perfect manner.
Each of the 34 stories has a message for the reader and this is what I liked best about the book. The author does not tell you what must be done at the end of each chapter. Instead she leaves it for you to debate and find out what is the correct action required n every situation. Also, each situation may not have a happy ending but it is a must for us to experience because it holds a very important lesson in life for all of us.
As an example, the author tells us about the incident where she lost her father. Although she was saddened by his loss yet she realized that this is a way of life and we must come out stronger after such incidents. Through her heart rendering words, the author captures the beauty of each emotion in a perfect manner.
The book, 34 Bubblegums and Candies, carries the important message that joy can also be found in the smallest of things. Instead of running after success all the time, we should also have time for our friends and family. It is these small things that remain in our memories for years to come. It truly is a wonderful book and the author is absolutely right in the fact that life truly is like bubblegums and candies!
