LOVE KNOWS NO LOC

ARPPIT VAGERIA

Published by: Penguin Metro Reads



Blurb:
Zoya, a twenty-five-year-old Pakistani pop star, meets emerging Indian cricketer Kabeer while he is on tour in the country to play a match to promote Indo-Pak friendship.
One thing leads to another and soon Kabeer and Zoya are inseparable. As their love for each other grows stronger, Zoya leaves Pakistan to be with Kabeer, only to return a few months later following a misunderstanding.
In Pakistan, Zoya is gloomy and sulking, rethinking her connection with Kabeer.
In India, a confused Kabeer is still hopeful of meeting Zoya.
As their relationship is put to the test in the wake of mounting tensions between the two countries, they both stumble across a long-buried truth that will forever change the course of their lives.

My Review:
Title:
The title is appropriate. It tells us about the story in just 4 words.

Cover:
I found the cover really beautiful.
The colours of both India’s and Pakistan’s flags are used and the distance which is almost next to zero in their hearts increases when it comes to comparing it within both the countries.

Characters:
Zoya and Kabeer are the main characters and are portrayed beautifully.
Zoya is a Pakistani singer and Kabeer, a cricketer in the Indian Cricket team.
Other characters are underrated in the story and the main focus is done on both Zoya and Kabeer.

Plot:
The story is good.
It is based on a love story across the borders.
It is a step closer to uniting both the countries.
The Author has beautifully tried showing the love and hatred between the two countries and how the citizens of both the countries do not want any more wars between the two.

Both Zoya and Kabeer fall in love with each other. Kabeer, when he first sees Zoya and Zoya, when Kabeer gives his shoulder to cry on.

Both of them face every problem which a couple living in two different and conflicting countries face.

The story is medium paced, with a language used so simple that every reader can connect to it.
It seems confusing sometimes because of the timelines.

Recommendations:

·        Readers who love reading about a unique plot like this one

My ratings: 4 out of 5 stars

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
