BY: ( I don't know, Ask Shruti (smj1977) she chanced upon it somewhere) I too don't know there was no name by it😆 Oh.. well... whoever wrote is a great lyricist and a Gerard butler fan!

as for the readings go

she can start with Russian tales

then she can gradually proceed to srories like cinderella, snow white, rum pil stil skin, etc.

this gradual reading will help develop her mind You are very right, I had already had this in mind, I decided to start her off with Cinderella since it's so close to her own life... in fact I am nearly done writing the whole scene.....

as I got it, she still is a 5 yr old in her behaviour, so she should first start up with th ebooks of that age, stories like Ant and the Grasshopper, rolling bun, thirsty crow, mouse and the lion, unity of the birds, etc., Wow.... interesting suggestions.... these she can read along with little Abhi..... Perfect!

then she can advance to comedy of errors, as you like it, sindbad tales, goliath, beauty and the beast, three muskeeters etc., hmmm....

she can also red Enid blytons works, though they may confuse her as they are not based on Indian schooling

then moving to read tempest, my chocolate soldier, far from the madding crowd, even hindi novels like Swati, sujata, Prema, godaan, chandra haar, life sketches of renowned personales, jhansi ki rani, OMG!.... I can make her *watch* Jhansi ki Rani..... perfect display of women power and strength along with the need to fight for the right and not tolerate the wrong! ) OMG! thank you so much your suggestions are giving me too many ideas! 😆

she can also read poems by Maha devi verma, her poems ar e very inspiring hmmm... will read it myself and try to incorparate it in the story...

in th end I would like her to read Kamayani by jaishankar prasad , that is an excellent peice of work and requires a lot of patience and understanding, she will definately like it Hmmm... what is the novel about?..... any particular subject or message it gives to the readers?

if you want her she can read an experiment with truth, discovery of India, Love Story, Time traveller, though they are not my favourites but many people like them Thank you so much Shruti for suggestion such great novels....

Hi Angel

I know I have not been commenting much. I apologize because work has kept me very busy.

My favorite book is "the last lecture" by Randy Pausch. 😃 I love that book.

But Geet does not read english na 😕 .....and I dunno any hindi literature things. So I cannot suggest any. Sorry 🤗

Nice review.

"Pride & Prejudice" can be one. as it shows so many colours of life and different emotions of one person toward the other. Illusion and reality mingled together create another impression. Just as life and our opinion about people and reality.

hey! Thanks for the preview. Now, as far as the books are concerned, I have two suggestions.

1. As i am a huge fan of the Chicken Soup series, i would say that Geet could read that. It contains personal experiences of people from around the world, and they are real of course. So it helps a lot to know that other people who suffered got out of their suffering through their loved ones help! you are right, I had already planned on this whole Geet learning about others who have suffered in life and overcame it.... so I will definetely be using your suggestion on Geet reading Chicken Soup series.....

2. One more book that i read and relate it with ur FF is "I hadn't meant to tell you this" by Jacquiline Woodson.

I Hadn't Meant To Tell You This is the story of Lena, a new white girl in a school that's population is mostly black. Marie, who is an upper class African-American becomes the unlikely friend to Lena, who usually looks dirty and unkempt next to the fashionable and popular Marie.

Right here ' right with this friendship I was already liking the book. With both families frowning on their daughters friendship with someone who is "another color" . I appreciated that this book was in contrast to many others I have read, and it is Marie's family that had the money and the nice home was the African-American family, and it is Lena's home that is in the bad neighborhood.

This book gets deep when Lena confides in her friend Marie that her father is touching her inappropriately. Marie, who has never been around such a think has a hard time wrapping her mind around this, even accusing Lena of lying for attention. This subject in the book, as well as Marie's reaction to it, seems very well written'. I can picture it happening.

Lena makes Marie promise not to tell anyone and this is another part of the book where you watch Marie try to help without being able to. All she can do is look out for Lena when she can.

So, here, Meera could be a friend like Marie, to Geet. Perfect! I am so going to make Geet read this novel.... thank you for giving such a detailed summary, it helped me in understanding the story.... this novel is certainly going on my to read list!

As of now, these are the two that i can think of. Probably later on, i'd give you a few more.

Update soon. 😊

Interesting preview...still as confused as ever about who the "He" is...

Some good novels:

Little Women: great one on female power and sibling love

Of Mice and Men: a simple yet complex novel that greatly showcases friendship and looking out for the other

The Diary of Anne Frank: I have a feeling Geet may be able to relate to this book. Though the novel is about a young girl in hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of Netherlands, it's a great book showcasing will power and what the girl went through during those 2 years when she was with her family, all hiding in an attic.

Gone with the Wind: There's a lot to learn from this novel...apart from the relationship between Scarlet & Butler, the way Scarlet's character grows from that of a young girl to a woman is interesting.
