A lovely review by Nandita
Dear Ms. Jane,
First, I applaud you for the topics you have taken up of present days world & its intricacies, i.e. Single Mother, Confident ,smart, helpful, hardworking but Lady Boss and the traditional values (on (love)marriages/ age of the spouse/responsibility of grown up children towards the family); which has Lost its way like Chinese whisper in the long journey but are chanted as early morning hymns which we Indians believe, these ‘Pratha’ rituals have connectivity with the Super Power. And Avantika has dealt with them all so well.
Second, applaud is for the characters made by you or are coming from the far off existence, all are strong. Infact the grayish character Shreya has shown her strength towards her exit; Except Rohan. He, knowing his affection towards Avantika and her past hurt; his own background and the planning towards his future in his family, takes such a step in Delhi, which becomes more weaker with the real introduction of ’Rhea’.
Third, Every character’s decision is based on the people around they love/care or are the support system, except Avantika . The three characters which are most effected in the course of novel are Shreya; who decides on her parents and Ady’s will Rohan; goes with his parents and the societ’s will, but Avantika waits for her son Aarav to grow to such an understanding to appritiate her mothers decision. She doesn’t pay heed to his choice which he made from her own sleep calls. So, I would say her decision was more practical than spiritual.
Avantika is progressive, practical, fun loving, and determined person, with calculative brains. I really got involved with her and emotions
Regards,
Nandita
N.P.: I read the book twice first time I moved with flow and obviously my heart squeezed for Avantika and on second go I emerged with many enquiries.

In Silence With Dad (Father's Day Poem)
I may not remember how many times you cradled me
But, I remember you when you hugged me
That warmth has no expiry
It has a lifetime memory
I may not remember you teaching me math
But, definitely remember you showing me the right path
This was your way
Always, wanted me to find my way
I may not remember tears in your eyes
But, I felt trembling voice in your goodbyes
It may be your strength
But, it blended in our wavelength
When I faced difficulty in dealing with mother
You rescued me by saying – don’t even bother
It is a part of growing up
You are not at blowing it up
I was struggling for my independence
Your reassuring voice gave me acceptance
It was that assurance
For my dependence
The silence grew longer and longer
As our differences grew smaller and smaller
You blessed me, I loved you
In those moments of blue
