Review on '' MISSING VARRUN''

   

MY THOUGHTS ON ‘MISSING VARRUN’

              Missing Varrun is a tale of a man ‘Varun’ who is CA by profession; he is the main protagonist of this novel. In this novel he fights all odds in his life to be with his lady love Amaya. This novel clearly brings out that love knows no religion, caste, creed, and age differences. Varun fights with his own instincts, his family, his community to be with the one he loves. But life takes a very ironical turn when Amaya decides to stay in spain with the kids and varun due to immigration problem has to stay back in Kolkata.

              This novel portrays the agony of a man who takes every chance in his life but gets very little in return than he actually deserves. The feelings of varrun are beautifully crafted in words. Be it his year-long separation from his wife Amaya or missing those years when he wanted to be with his children to be able to see them growing up is very agonizing. The beauty of the novel lies in the way of narration, where Amaya and Varun handle their complicated relationship in a very mature and sensible way. Love that had united Amaya and varun is the driving force till the end. Even the bitterness and grievances that varun has towards Amaya cannot overpower his love for her. Another beautiful narration comes as an icing on a cake for a reader, when after Anaya’s sad demise the younger VARRUN (Varun’s son) takes the charge. When he bonds with his father varun and makes up for his lost years with him. The ending of the story where old varun writes two letter for his son and daughter has an everlasting impression on readers. This novel makes us reflect if we care enough for our parents? Are we giving enough attention to them? The character of younger Varrun inspires us in real life; he inspires us to b a more responsible and caring towards our parents.  

               After reading this novel there are certain vivid imagination that comes to a reader’s mind that will leave a reader in tears. Like imagining varun celebrating his Diwali alone in his house lifelessly, where all he does is misses his kids and his wife. or when in the town of Ceuta old varun sits  in a bench facing the sea, where he reminiscences about his bygone years, about his lost dreams of being with his wife and kids.The author has beautifully penned varun’s emotions, his helplessness his frustrations that I as a reader could immediately connect with varun’s character. It is said that men don’t display their emotion and feelings. But I want to thank MR AMAR AGARWALA the author of the book for beautifully bringing out a man’s emotion, his cravings, his feelings and his constant sacrifice that he makes for the sake of his family.   

                 This novel is about relationships, a husband-wife’s relationship, a father –son relationship .a   father-daughter relationship, and most importantly a relationship a man has with himself, his self communications. For a reader this novel is a treat. After reading this novel one tends to understand relationships in a better and mature way. For me I loved each and every line of this novel. It’s not just a novel it’s a learning experience for me.this novel has changed various perspectives of my life.
