#SpecialFeature :: Quotes from You Came Like Hope by Jyoti Arora



*** Special Feature - December 2017 ***

About the Book:
Peehu:
“I heard them mourn my death. I lay in the next room. Motionless, silent, and staring at the ceiling.”
Adih:
“When it comes to a broken person, some of them are expert at blinding you. Spend an entire evening with such a person, but you may still not know how he is crushing inside.”
Uday:
“Who would say no to him? He is smart, intelligent, super handsome, rich, suave and sophisticated. He’s perfect!”
Pooja:
“Pooja gave no explanation. She asked no forgiveness. She just arrived in his home, resenting him for being her husband.”
Arunav:
“He had smiled as if nothing was wrong.
He had behaved as if he still had his dreams and hopes.
He had pretended as if it didn’t hurt.
But it did.”



Does Destiny hold the key to our happiness?
Is it always the feeble that is the victim?
Love can be the embrace of heaven. But what happens when it unleashes hellfire?

Lose yourself in the intense narrative of You Came Like Hope as it unleashes a rollercoaster of emotions, uncovers some bitter truths, challenges widespread prejudices, and forces you to reconsider your beliefs.

Quotes from You Came Like Hope

1. We should be careful what we wish for. Because sometimes, a wish fulfilled becomes worse than a curse
2. It is not easy to battle the greatest need of our heart, the need to love and be loved.
3. There are some people who glance at the future with a shudder. Because the shadow of their past is so dreadful that they can see no light piercing through its gloom
4. With love comes the risk of losing it. With love comes the risk of getting burnt with it. When love burns, it consumes even the soul. 
5. The trouble with making plans is that they are laid on present’s roadmap. But Life walks on ever changing roads. Today’s paths seldom exist till tomorrow.
6. A tear may not weigh much on a scale, but it is heavy enough to crush a heart under its load.
7. Sometimes, a responsibility can be the only glue that keeps a person from falling apart.
8. He whispered my name. And there, at that moment, I knew I had never heard a sweeter song of love before.
9. Our hearts throb together now. They won’t survive being apart.
10. Lies run fast, truth walks on crutches.

About her Books
Twenty-one year old Larissa Chakroborty (better known as Jasmine) has been forced into the company of her parents' friends' son, twenty-five year old Tanveer Bhattacharya (aka Veer) ever since she was thirteen and he was seventeen. Jasmine found herself slowly getting drawn towards this teenage boy and harbours an unrequited crush on him, long after he disappears from her life in order to pursue a college degree. Eight years later Veer returns. Jasmine finds herself going to his welcome home party and neither of them recognises each other on the first meeting. Upon discovering that Jasmine is now a Master's student in a reputed college, Veer makes her a rather strange proposal. He wants her to pretend that they're in love and would eventually settle down in life, for he wishes to avoid tying the knot with a girl of his parents' choice. The constant ego battle between the two, the love-hate relationship, break ups and realisations is what The Secret Proposal is all about, wherein love would eventually find a way. Coupled with birthday parties, engagement announcements, Durga Pujos, weddings, the harrowing rituals, Christmas time fun, the crazy duo have a long way to go before they realise what their act would eventually cost them. Is it enough to get your long time love to be in a 'pretense relationship' with you? Does one grand gesture convince you that you've found your knight in shining armour? And why is it that when you have someone, you don't want them and when you lose them, you want them back? Is Veer merely pretending to be in love with Jasmine? And will Jasmine ever get over her undying love for Veer?



Voices, Old & New is a fantastic collection of short stories featuring the very best submissions from Indireads’ 2nd Short Story Competition 2014.
