Life is What You Make it
--- Preeti Shenoy
It is a short story about an young, beautiful, intelligent and desirable girl, who goes from topping her class in first semester of MBA in a prestigious school to spending a few months in a psychiatry ward with a bipolar disorder in a whisker.
The take away is just as simple as the title. Ankita, the main character of the book, gets carried away by her ambitions and achievements and starts disparaging the little and precious pleasures of life, to the extent that even suicide of a close friend, with whom she was in a relation, doesn't move her much. But, that single minded pursuit of material soon takes toll on her, and vents itself out as a mental disorder, when she reaches the threshold.
With the help of an excellent counselor, she reclaims her life back and realizes that life is after all what you make it.
A very simple read. Though the pacing is not very good with story moving very fast at some parts while some parts are just dragged, it is an enjoyable read.
