Summary
Roosevelt said,“The future
belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” and this has been
proved true. “Hurry Om Hari” is all about love, hope, trust, support and
relationships. The story begins with Harini’s family visiting Om’s house for “rishta”. The two families meet, the girl
and the boy meet and the wedding is settled. But there is more to it. Harini is
a national level Hockey player and she wants to play the last match before
getting herself busy with the chores of married life. On the other hand is Om,
who wants to prove himself and for this he decides that a “Reality show” is the
answer. Their lives are destined to be together, but not so early. Tables are
turned when the families of both the protagonists permit them to live their
dreams, without each other, and then meet on the other side. Time is limited,
tasks are enormous! Will Hari and Om successfully execute their plans? Or will someone
cut the ground from under their feet, destroying the dreams of both? Read this
novella to get the answers!
My
opinion
“Hurry Om Hari” is a fast
paced love story. The plot has all the ingredients that makes a good pot boiler,
in a chronological lineup. We are introduced to Om, a generous groom-to-be and
then Harini, a bold and brainy
bride-to-be. Both the characters have been crafted really very well, such that
they compliment each other. The title is catchy and the cover is mesmerizing. The
best part of the novella is its continuity and the flow that forces the readers
to complete reading the book, in one go. We have a flustered mother- Rani,
contrary to her extremely supportive husband- Shail, a draconian
father-Dhananjay and his submissive wife- Meeraji, the everready-Bobby Bhabhi, and
many more jolly characters that add to the “fun” element of the story. The
author has perfectly depicted the emotions of a self made man and has also targeted
the social issue where women are treated as not-fit-to-go-out. Harini is one
such character who believes in calling a spade a spade and Om respects her
audacity to fight for herself.
Behind the curtain of
marriage, how does one cope with the dreams and desires, with the new responsibilities
and all the other small nothings- this has been beautifully shown. It definitely
takes the support and belief of parents and the life partner, to realize the
dream and transform it into reality.
Overall, a good read! Grab
this book if you are always in a hurry and can spend little time on reading.
Drawbacks
The book lacks proofreading
and there are punctuation mistakes time and again.
