Ronit falls madly in
love with a beautiful girl, Aisha, when he was eighteen and wants to marry her instantly.
After her protest for seven years she finally agrees for the marriage. He
thought that his love for her will last longer. He has seen the soul mate in
her. And they get married. A week later,
he hates his lady love from the bottom of his heart. He doesn't understand why
she changed so much.
To escape from her and his messed up married life; he leaves
in a ship to work. But his perception about love and life change when he hears
the poignant love story of his captain, on a ship. But unfortunately that ship
later gets hijacked by the pirates of Somalia.
As they are left fighting for their lives they confront if
love truly can last forever...? But does it get too late?
Love lasts forever is a combination of love, humor and ego.
It is a quick read for a Sunday afternoon. The language of the book is well-spoken
and simple. There are two love stories going on in a parallel motion with
different time period and with different generations; one is Ronit’s and the
other is Shekhar’s, his captain. Believe
me once you start reading it you can’t keep it away from you. This book clearly
gives a chance to reconsider love, commitment as sometimes we don’t get a
second chance.
At first I didn’t like Ronit, perhaps due to his perception
on women. He even thought of divorcing his wife. But at last I also fall for
this character. I like some lines, when he take advice from his friend Joey Sing,
“Men go shopping to buy what they want; but women go shopping to know what they
want”.
I love the captain’s love story. It was simple yet has the
power to shed some tears from people’s eye. You can feel the warmness in
captain’s touching story.
The cover of the book is quite attractive, at first glance I
also attracted to its cover.
Some
of the lines I really liked
“It’s not too hard to keep a woman happy. All they want is
your love, care, support, and apparently a good ear”.
“How can someone be so much in love that everything in his
life revolves around that person he loves? And why do these feelings never
cease, instead flourish with each passing day?”
I will
give 3.5 stars out of 5 to this book.
