Because I love you - DR. Pradip Chauhan


To be honest I started this with lots of trepidation as I've never read any book by this author before. He is after all a very new face in this sector.
However I've found that he is quite talented in plot twists and emotional drama.

synopsis

"A grave smile on her face tried to hide the pain, she had decided to let feel him only beautiful moments she lived. Radha covered Kanaji’s head with her chunari, he closed eyes and submitted his body when she gently guided his head to her heart. He felt losing control over all his senses and could not feel himself when his head was on her heart. She closed eyes and let Kanaji enter herself; he felt soft, delicate and beautiful. He felt her silky hairs on his head; he felt being loved, being pampered by father, being scolded my mother. Girlish play with friends, affection of father and feeling like princess in father’s arm. But Kanaji did not want to feel only beautiful moments of her life, he invaded further; she did not know when he overpowered and reached the painful memory she had been hiding since days. Will Kanaji keep his promise after knowing truth?"
Needless to say it was a satisfying read with numerous ups and downs along the way. It always seemed as if the protagonists are going round and round, always circling each other but never actually getting their desired object.
This story circles around Kanaji, Radha, Dhruti, Vidyut,Naren,Yashoda,Meena and Mohan. Though Kanaji and Radha are the central characters still these characters pull their weight quite heavily.
The resemblance of Kanaji's character to Lord Krishna and Yashoda, Kanaji's mother having the same name as Lord Krishna's mother does not go unnoticed by the readers.
However , the authors attempt of making Kanaji a modern version of Lord Krishna is vastly lacking.
I felt that Kanaji as compared to other characters such as Radha and his father, Naren was quite immature and to be honest I felt that he was pretty narrow minded too.
Another fact which I find very unrealistic is his inability to find Radha. In this age of advanced everything it is very hard to comprehend the fact that one can not find a person when they know in which city that person lives. It makes him sound very foolish . Even if I reluctantly let go of the fact that he is probably a bit backward as he is from the village(but as the story says Kanaji is an university graduate, how on earth then he has an excuse I've no idea) still he could've gone to Meera or most importantly Radha's mother (believe me that woman would have been in cloud 9 if he had, and I've no doubt would've even shared Radha's room number with him , not only her address)who is sure to know her address and asked for it while making his position clear to her mother.
But he did NOT. That is something which is very very unrealistic in this novel.
The author also explores the bisexuality of Radha and Meera as well as hinting a bit about Kanaji and Mohan.
The relationship which developed between Radha and Meera and the silent acceptance of it by her mother is another point which swings towards the zone of unrealistic. As Dr. Chauhan portrayed the characters come from a very rural village , even a remote village. In India this is NOT something which is accepted very easily even by the metropolitan society, then how is it possible that a remote village society will accept it silently?
There are some sensual and erotic moments in this story, however nothing that is out of norm in a romance book.

Overall, I liked it. Definitely should give it a try. (however this book has  lots of grammatical errors and editing problems, it would be great if those could be removed though.)
Though love-at-first-sight is something which I don't normally like( it feels very unnatural, don't you think so?) I still finished it in one night:)
I've also included some excerpts along with the first chapter-first page for the enjoyment of you all.  if you like them then i think you'll like the whole story too. click on the link below to buy it!
