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.
