Tea for two....

"Dreams are reality, only if you choose to stay awake". Be it career, love or life as a whole.. Preeti Shenoy, teaches you to balance all this through one story, that I think comes in as an eye-opener to any layman who has his own pre-conceived thoughts about love stories, marriages, divorces, careers. If you've read 'Life is what you make it' by her, Tea for two and a piece cake easily draws your attention. The next thing you do is grab the book off the shelf and read like a maniac.

People, teens/youngsters especially, lament over break ups and the lows in their relationships and stuff. Nisha's story shows how worse it can be and yet how brave you got to be to get out of it successfully.
Some kind of inspiration that finds it's way deep inside us, something that we certainly lack..
Indian  mentality that discourages women to think about their own self, or that puts husbands at the first place, is found to be successfully challenged. Neither the male ego is hurt nor the Indian values of the women are discouraged, yet the right gets the right push forward while the negative quietly fades away..

The book shows the true sense of love and pulls out people from the fairy tale 'love stories' and hence makes an enduring effect on the reader's mind.. First love is appreciated, but 2nd love is appreciated even more, because it signifies victory of two things; one is the strength of an Indian woman and second is unconditional love.

Preeti Shenoy, should be thanked for serving the dish  in the Indian women's plate in the most appealing way.

You almost figure faces around who might be going through this. You actually get over the waves and enjoy the ride over them.. The book makes the scenes seem as if they were happening in front of you; maybe in a cinema hall?

If someone's got a lot to cry over their past, gift them a copy. Makes sure that they realize their own worth.

If there's an Indian woman who smiles just being proud of her life only to realize that what she has got is much better than what Nisha went through, or even if there's someone who's going through  something similar and finds a way out; I think every copy of the book being sold, serves it's purpose.

For every tear that dries and for every smile that finds it's way on an Indian woman's face because of this book; Preeti Shenoy deserves a salute. * Respect*
