Can love happen twice with your half girl friend


Can love happen twice by Ravinder Singh was published before half girl friend by Chetan Bhagat but I read both recently in one days gap. I did not feel the former as a special love story as most of the situations and dialogues were common and popular in all love stories. At the verge of reality girls will choose a practical life rather than their dreams and love.

Girl’s selfishness is a common tag in can love happen twice and half girl friend. Riya dropped her love and went to pursue her dreams though it was painful for her to separate. Simar also was sad to end the relationship but she gave priority for her career. In both the situations the real sufferers were Madhav and Ravin( Ravz). May be the author belong to the male category the sympathy automatically flow to the male characters while writing. It may be not purposeful but the wind blows in that direction alone. Riya’s father and Simar’s father were a reason for the distance in both stories. Though they are not given the villain portrait, somewhere they are similar in gestures. Their mother’s were like twins.

In can love happen twice Ravin has some friends supporting him at his difficult situations also in half girl friend Madhav is also accompanied by four friends. Foreign country is a location in both stories; Belgium where Ravin met Simar and New York where Madhav went in search of Riya. Another coincidence I felt is both Ravin and Madhav are from middle class family of Indian society whereas Riya and Simar belong to the high class society.

Why such similarities occur? May be the practical situations which the authors went through their own lives or the real life experience of people whom they personally know is a reason. When I started reading half girl friend I completed first as it was the latest. Can love happen twice was a pdf. When reading the two I did not know there is any similarity between the two.

Once you fall in love with someone and get separated do girls or boys have more pain and fall into depression? Both authors were standing on the same opinion through their characters. Girls never think about the lover alone, she is concerned with the family which makes her decide certain things. But either girl or boy should try to convince the family before taking decisions to run away or separate. Life and story may have similarities as well as dissimilarities but the climax depends on the individuals involved in the love stories.
