Not reading this book, you will be missing a masterpiece of Ajay K Pandey
The End of any books from Ajay K Pandey touches the soul and this one is a masterpiece. ‘Her Last Wish’ is one such book which i could read it again and again and not get bored. It’s all about Love, Sacrifice, Family, struggles faced by HIV patients. The quotes ‘Love is blind’ is proven to be true in this wonderful book. One would easily get lost while reading it.Although the start of the book is a little drag describing about the protagonist Vijay’s life how he has been a failure in life wasting 5 years of his adulthood trying to clear the IAS exam to fulfill his Father’s dream yet failing every year and finally gives up his hope. His mother somehow uses her influence and gets him admitted in a college as a assistant professor. At this moment, Astha enters in Vijay’s life being his reason to relive again. They both gets into Indian ritual of Arranged Marriage. Astha is totally opposite of Vijay, she is energetic, lives every moment to the fullest, yet one thing that haunts her is being a illegitimate child. As time passes by they both share a bond of love and whenever Astha gets upset being a illegitimate child, vijay could console her saying being illegitimate is not a fault of her but the fault of her parents. As life flows smoothly Vijay gets one phone call from a blood camp where Astha had donated blood a few days back changes their whole life, it took him a while to sink in what he heard, she has been diagnosed as HIV positive. Vijay was shocked and shattered by the phone call, yet he chose to hide it from Astha.The whole plot of the books changes from there and it’s so gripping and realistic, one just can’t put down the book. The author had done a beautiful job to throw light on a very sensitive topic and gives a lot of information about how HIV is carried to a person, what could be the reason, how can one be treated, the difficulties faced by such patients all together brings tears to the reader.Now Vijay hunts to discoverer all the possibilities to save love of his life (Astha). He eventually finds out it’s a terminal disease and love is the only cure (mentally). Also he comes across 7 wishes that Astha had, which are practically impossible for a middle class guy to fulfill it. Yet he goes to prove it wrong as he fulfills her wishes one after another even without the knowledge of Astha, how he does that is truly admirable to what extend one can go to keep his love (wife) happy for eternity.I recommend this book to everyone to read it at least once in a lifetime, you won’t regret taking up this book. The narration is simple, each characters play a good role, plays with our emotions, many beautiful quotes are been used at the right situation and one such quote which i loved personally is below:“Always try to represent yourself as ‘Happy‘ , because initially it becomes your ‘Look‘ , gradually it becomes your ‘Habit‘ , and one day, it becomes your ‘Personality‘ “–Astha Sharma (Her last wish)

Love makes anything possible
#PreReleaseReview #HerLastWishFirst of all a heartfelt thanks to Ajay for trusting in me and sending the digital copy of Her Last Wish to read and give an honest review it was a great opportunity and hope I have done it best to my ability.Her last wish a heartwarming story of love,pain and sacrifice which proves true love can move mountains and indeed a good wife makes the best husband.The love for his wife whose living days has been numbered revolutionise a person who considered self as miserable all his life to go to any extent just see his wife happy and he does not leave any stone unturned to give her the best and to fulfill the most crazy wishes before she relinquish life.Few beautiful parts of the book I cherished the most:-Love makes us strong and becomes our strength to cross any hurdles with courage and determination.-A marriage does not promise us of a perfect or ideal match in fact there isn't one. It is how you accept the other person as they are, the love and commitment you put in to your relationship, the way you cherish your similarities and respect the differences is what makes a marriage work.-Loved the bonding between the son and the father it's portrayed very gracefully- The ending part left me so emotional that I hugged my daughter and sobbed for few minutes the tears where inevitable.-The story is about a HIV patient who is not tormented , neglected ,questioned or discriminated instead she is accepted,loved and pampered. Yes HIV patients are not to be neglected or to be looked down upon let this humiliation and negative attitude against them lay off.-Let us not be judgemental or prejudice without even having an idea of what trauma they are going through. If we could all imagine vulnerable ourselves at such situation and do not wish to be discriminated then is it accetaple to ill treat another human is that not insane.-The book is dedicated to one such beautiful person and I hope she read this " I want to hug her ". let discrimination stop against HIV ,discrimination hurts.Ending it with a beautiful quote :"Always try to represent yourself happy because initially it becomes your look gradually it becomes your habit and one day it becomes your personality"- Astha Sharma #HerLastWishHad a wonderful time getting to know about the tough journey of a beautiful couple yet with a never give up attitude - Her last wish an inspirational read and definitely deserves 4.5/5.Warm regardsAnandhini
