You are still the one by Himanshu Rai is a story of winning cancer and winning life- over and over again! The protagonist Trisha is a 17 years old girl who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. This cancer was curable but it was killing her soul, making her depressed and losing all her hope. But life always brings heroes in our lives and Aditya was that hero for Trisha. He was a soldier, Lieutenant, protector of the border but he also saved Trisha's life. Varun, her cousin and Meetu, Varun's girlfriend left no stone unturned to keep Trisha's hope high. But time changes, duty calls, and people have to leave. When Aditya left for Siachen, life became dull for Trisha. In the next few years her life went through many twists and turns. Read the book to know more about her fate!
First of all I want to appreciate the cover, it's very beautiful and instantly makes me have high hopes for the content. I liked how Hodgkin Lymphoma was introduced in the plot which I believe will work as an awareness. Another thing that I really appreciate is the constant support from family members and even strangers - I think we need this more than anything to cross any hurdle in life. The sweet relationship between the father and daughter can actually make your day and wish for the same in your own life. The relationships in this book were phenomenal and that's how it should be in reality. The efforts by these great friends were so innovative that it might actually make a hopeless person dream about life again!
Now coming to the things I wanted more in the book were emotions and proper explanation. I believe if the story was narrated from the protagonists' pov, the emotions could have been expressed more. Also the book was fast paced which led the author to skip small details that might have made the book more attractive. I also feel that some of the dialogues were a little too cheesy which can be good for those who like it and boring for those who aren't into it. I was on the latter list. Having been a close observer of a cancer patient, I felt that Trisha was unusually energetic, active but the journey definitely needed more explanation. Moreover, the recovery of Aditya in such a short period was seriously unrealistic!
Overall I felt like the plot was good in the beginning but later became bollywood. The ending especially threw me in a confusion zone.

“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.”
Allen Saunders
What's ahead of your time only life knows and Himanshu Rai's “You are still the one” has sketched that so beautifully that I am out of my words. It tells you a magical story of life's ingredients - love, faith, smile, friendship and ofcourse pain & uncertainty. Seventeen year old Trisha is diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma ~ one kind of blood cancer that can be curable but succeeded killing her spirit and soul. But life has other plans for her when Aditya came to her life with fresh energy and burst of hope. Author's beautifully created characters are just fantastic to fell into love. Trisha's cousin Varun and her girlfriend Meetu are just so good to show the support and warmth in close relationship which is the backbone of our society.
The language is lucid and warm in tone to unfold such sensitive plotline in a magestic way. The character building in such short time (216 page ) is just great to see. Trisha matures and understand to live the life at its best, is that kind of approach we all need now a days. This is that story which make one believe in the power of love again.
Last but not least I want to mention the fantastic cover and border illustrations of the book that are added boons. I loved the reading experience so much that I shall reread it again. One of the most fantastic Reads of mine in a long time.

Where can love to lead us to, we are unsure about it; whether it's a forever or it's going to leave with a heartache?
Himanshu Rai's, 'You're Still The One' is a touching love story that would leave your eyes moist. Trisha, a seventeen year, is diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma which leads to her landing in Delhi for treatment, where she bumps in with Aditya. Aditya, an army officer—fun-loving, someone who made Trisha feel special about herself, a kind and caring person. As the feelings bloom between the two, Aditya gets his duty calls, leaving Trisha behind, and they never meet again. And, then comes the twist when Dakshit enters Trisha's life.
I solely loved reading this book. It's undoubtedly a beautiful and heart-touching love story or rather, I should say stories because as you get deeper into the novel the twist unfolds exposing you to a different reality. The author's style of writing and narration is apt & lucid. I definitely recommend this novel, to someone who finds pleasure in reading love stories.

17-years-old TRISHA has devastated when she has diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma and felt numb about his misfortune. But her father Major V.C. Shergill has boosted her and brought her to Delhi for treatment.
The author Himanshu Rai has rescripted the story to move with the trusty of emotions, love, friendship and fortune. Disappointment turns into hope with the meeting of ADITYA. As an Army man, he has a sense of freshness with him, which evokes a flare of hope in his surrounding. This attitude gives her enough strength to fight with her drastic reality of life.
The author brilliantly built the story frame with the girl who lost her mother at the age of 10 and once again nudged into the extinction and manipulates the Male supportive characters to hook the plot with the sensitivity of love and friendship, which makes me sense space for the characters in my mind.
Even though TRISHA is sceptical about her recovery. But the bond of friendship and love from ADITYA, VARUN, and MEETU has nurtured her inbound strength to conquer her disease.
When reality plays second innings in the life of TRISHA, ADITYA has to return for his duty. In the middle of her treatment, ADITYA is about to leave for his duty. What happened next, is the spine chilling love story.
Language is rational. The story has the reality kick in every stage. Every preference of the relationship plays a vital role. Without the love and supportive characters, this story can't prevail. The author has prescribed the substantiality of unconditional love to recover from the reality of life.
An emotional story with a pragmatic touch I would say.

📍My 2nd read from the author. I read Rhythm Roger & was impressed.
This one is a "love story". Not the typical "happy endings" kindof love stories but yes it does have its elements.
It explores the emotion of "love" in all its form. Friendship, loss, grief, second chances, giving another go at life, positivity, uplifting, living for the joy of other & disease & living with dread of death & it's also abt scarifice.
For me it meant, true love is bringing out the best in a person & loving her/him unconditionally. Check out the blurb for the story.

You Are Still The One by Himanshu Rai introduces us to the journey of five people with two of them, Trisha and Aditya being the protagonists.
Trisha is seventeen and has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer, the treatment for which leads her to Delhi along with her father. There she meets her doctor's son, Aditya, a lively human being and an army officer. Gradual friendship blooms between them and then it's time for Aditya to leave for his posting. There's an accident and then there's no more news about him. Was it friendship or was it love between them? Will Aditya return? Will Trisha beat cancer?
This is a light romance novel that will feel like a breezy read to you. Easy language with an interesting storyline explore the themes of friendship, love, and finding happiness in life. I liked how the medical condition hovers around and helps build the plot in a good manner. A bit more to the story about Varun and Meetu could have made the story more exciting. I wished there was a strong link connecting Varun and Meetu to the story line along with Dakshit. Their character development could have been done well along with introducing Dakshit a little earlier in the story. It's lovely to see how the story starts straight away but some more development and depth to the story would have made it an even more interesting read.
This is a book I will be recommending to the readers who are starting their reading journey, specially in the genre of romance.

Firstly, I am in love with the cover of this book. I had not expected anything from this book, but it took me on a surprising ride of tangled emotions. This book gives me a deeper look at friendships, love, and unpredictability in life.
Trisha, a teenage girl, comes to Delhi for her treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma with her father, where she meets Aditya, a carefree, charming Army officer. Aditya shows her a new perspective on living her life. Their bond deepens from friendship to love, but Trisha refuses to lead him on when she knows she could die from cancer. Without saying goodbye, Aditya leaves for his duty earlier, and after that, no one knows where he went. Trisha hoped to meet him again and struggled to move on in her life.
I adore how eloquently and emotionally the author writes about cancer patients' fears, pain, and suffering. I felt an instant connection with Trisha and Aditya. I want to read more about Aditya since he is such a sweetheart. The plot is too deep and powerful, and the writing style is unfamiliar to me yet readily understood. The suspense is exciting, and the ending is delightful. This novel is more of a friendship journey than a love story to me, and there are so many emotions in it that I can't stop my tears. Varun, Meetu, and Dakshit bring the plot to life as well.
The finish of this book is really satisfying, but there are certain things I would like to know more clearly, so the ending feels rushed to me. The choice of the term "sister" instead of "Trisha" makes the interaction between the siblings feel more formal. I'm having trouble connecting with Dakshit since I don't have much insight about him.
Overall, You Are Still the One makes you laugh and cry while depicting friendship, relationship uncertainty, and life. It had me on my toes as I read the entire novel. The author penned the emotional surface, and it's difficult to ignore the compelling storyline.

"Love is not something which can be measured, but love is something which needs to be decided, modified and nurtured according to life's circumstances"
The story revolved around a seventeen year-old teenage girl, Trisha, who was suffering from Hodgkin Lymphoma. And she came Delhi with her father for her treatment. In Delhi, she met Aditya, full of life and who bought smiles to her throughout the treatment. He gave another meaning to her and her life where she has totally given up on herself. They created great memories together along with Trisha's cousin, Varun and his girlfriend Meetu.
Relationship between Trisha and Aditya was about to blossom but one day Trisha was hit by her reality and realised that she was soon going to be dead and pleaded Aditya to leave her. And the very next day, Aditya had to rush to Siachen for his posting and they never met again. Trisha was relieved and got her treatment done in the absence of Aditya.
Twist comes when another character Dakshit entered in Trisha's life, who played a significant role alongside her.
But did Aditya and Trisha really get apart ?
This story was quite good and beautifully written. It talks about not to give up in any situation. Diseases are quite hard to fight with but when you are standing at the face of it along with your friends and family, the disease will also can't ruin you in any manner. And if you are Bollywood love types, you must give it a try.

5/5 🌟
This book has shook me to the core, healed parts which weren't broken by it, made me cry for hours, reflect on my behaviour patterns, made me love people surrounding me more.
I wasn't aware that this book can make me cry so hard but here I am sobbing.
I loved Meetu the most out of all bcz of her selfless nature. All she wants is Trisha's life to be sorted.
Varun, her brother, helping her out throughout the journey in each & every decision Trisha takes just like Trisha's father.
Aditya, the selfless brat, his decision at the end was correct in my eyes and also from his pov.
Dakshit, the understanding & encouraging guy, who made me appreciate his personality and friendly nature.

Such a sweet Story of Love, care, courage, and a lot more. You rarely come across such kinds of Stories. I m truly touched by the Storyline.
✨
This is the Story of Trisha- an 18 years girl fighting blood cancer, and Aditya- a young lieutenant in the Army, who walks into the line at the moment and smiled at her to fight through deadly cancer and gave him major life lessons.
They fell in love with each other but Aditya got posted in Siachen Glacier and disappear without any message. Slowly Trisha moved on in her life with the lessons his superhero Aditya gave me during her tough time.
But will their love Story end here? Or does Destiny has something more for them?
The end of the book is really interesting. You would read the book in two timelines- one 10 years back and one 10 years later. Truly a lovely story that could inspire many cancer patients to fight the battle without giving up.
✨
And the ending of the Story made it more beautiful that I can't stop smiling myself. Lovely writing skills with amazing storyline and writer pens down the emotions and bonding of family and friendship well.
And the lead character of the Story Aditya- you have my Heart♥️

"We are all characters in a novel called life and each day is one page from a chapter...It looks like we are the earth revolving around the sun with every count of our breath...the time will come when everyone gets lost in space; it is just a matter of how long we can hold our breath."
Author Himanshu Rai has created a work of poignant beauty. The title of 'India's favourite literary juggler' by The Asian Chronicles seems perfect for him.
The book had moments that made me laugh out loud even while tears were trickling down my face. The despair at having one's life cut short because of cancer, the hopelessness, the selfless love of friends supporting each other during hardships, and so many other feelings are put to words so very skillfully. A beautiful, beautiful creation!💞

Firstly, great appreciation to the author making such a series of masterpieces.
This is a beautiful story of love, empathy and friendship. Looking at the cover picture, I never imagined the twist in the story but as they say, never judge a book by its cover.
I loved the protagonist of this book. Trisha is a young beautiful girl who has been diagnosed with cancer.
She starts to lose the battle even before the fight began. They say that everyone has a guardian angel in life and Aditya becomes her angel.
He reminds her what it is to be in love, live life to the fullest and cherish it.
To know more you should have a read this book otherwise it will be a spoiler. I can't tell more as it kill the thrill that the author has crafted.
The author's technique of raw, magnetic characters and great plotlines is a gift. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. Definitely an unpredictable story, my favorite kind!
This story is a mixture of endless emotions, fantasy, romance, and an immortal sacrifice.
I personally loved reading this.
Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review.
Must recommend.

This book made me feel everything and nothing at the same time; I was numb but feeling Aditya's emotions to an extent I didn't know was possible. Is this kind of selfless love still out there? Do people like Aditya actually exist in real life or is he just a fictional character?
I am not a fan of third person POV but, as I moved on with the book, I realised the third person POV was important because even I couldn't decipher when the story turned from Trisha towards Aditya.
One of the few things that clouded my mind was the time span mentioned in the book. Like, imagine spending 10 years of your life without having any idea where it is leading or without a closure from the past or seeing your future slip right in between your fingers. I felt so emotional throughout the book while thinking about the same.
The end was very painful to read and made me like Aditya even more than before.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the bland and repetitive narration of the book which made it a little hard for me to concentrate, especially in the beginning and hence took me a little longer to finish the book. Some dialogues were a bit unrealistic, like come on! No one talks like. There were some amazing metaphors in between the dialogues which made my heart jump.

You are still the one by Himanshu Rai
First and foremost let me tell you, I'm a sucker for romance stories that make me cry buckets. And this one made me cry several times.
The story revolves around Trisha, a cancer patient who is struggling to keep her will to live alive. It revolves around Aditya, the super hero who enters Trisha's live like any Bollywood hero and gives her a renewed sense of hope when everything seems bleak. Change is never easy. More often than not we do not have a choice but to accept it. The story was about a Trisha's reaction to the change. It's about hope in face of despair, about endings and cautious beginnings, about courage when all seems lost depending on the way you look at it.
Aditya is an army lieutenant, the son of Trisha's doctor. He's cheerful and kind and everything Trisha could ask for as a friend. I love the comic relief presented by Varun and Meetu. The chemistry and fun teasing between Meerun* is my favourite. All the characters are well sketched. Where Aditya is cheerful, Trisha is serious and pensive about life. Where Major shergill is a concerned father, Varun is the fun brother. The contrast between characters is very similar to how relations are in reality.
Let's not even talk of the Gorgeous cover..the gold foil lines, look like palm etching, where one lifeline begins and sometimes changes directions. The book has all the elements of Found family, familial love, friendship, love, trust, new beginnings, hope and sacrifice. The story had a similarity with 'TFIOS' but still unique in its own Desi approach. While TFIOS will always be my favourite, you are still the one has become a new favourite. The book also spreads awareness about Cancer- specifically Hodgkin Lymphoma, and how fighting cancer is as much mental as it is physical. The story also focuses alot on support system. If you have a solid support system like Trisha did, there are very few things that are unachievable.
I loved how the language was simple and conveyed all the emotions in a fluid manner without superfluous adjectives. The pace was okay. It didn't feel too fast nor too slow. Some points definitely felt cheesy which made me love the story ever so more. The climax was really unexpected.
Overall, a really emotional story to be read with plenty of tissues in hand.

Book Review ~ 📚
Book : You Are Still the One
Author : Himanshu Rai
Love is not something which can be measured, but love is something which needs to be decided, modified and nurtured according to life's circumstances"~ You are still the one
There's something about Himanshu Rai books, you just can't keep calm unless you finish his books. Is it because of beautiful writing style, or proper handling of emotions, Or Existing characters or something else, I don't know. But I know that it sure is. His every other book appears to be dealing with a Social issue and this one too.
You are still the one in a novel filled with love, pain, friendship, and pain. This novel is beautifully written. This is a heart-touching novel and I'm very glad that I get to read it.
This story was almost like watching a movie. Every scene was running inside my mind. The author's writing skill was the obvious reason behind this.
While reading certain scenes in the story I actually felt like it was happening in reality ! That is how the book deeply engages the readers. Many more gave a scary experience while reading this book. The author has a good storytelling style. However, it's the ending that was the most terrifying.
The story revolved around a seventeen year-old teenage girl, Trisha, who was suffering from Hodgkin Lymphoma. And she came Delhi with her father for her treatment. In Delhi, she met Aditya, full of life and who bought smiles to her throughout the treatment. He gave another meaning to her and her life where she has totally given up on herself. They created great memories together along with Trisha's cousin, Varun and his girlfriend Meetu.
Relationship between Trisha and Aditya was about to blossom but one day Trisha was hit by her reality and realised that she was soon going to be dead and pleaded Aditya to leave her. And the very next day, Aditya had to rush to Siachen for his posting and they never met again. Trisha was relieved and got her treatment done in the absence of Aditya.
Twist comes when another character Dakshit entered in Trisha's life, who played a significant role alongside her. But did Aditya and Trisha really get apart ?
This story was quite good and beautifully written. It talks about not to give up in any situation. Diseases are quite hard to fight with but when you are standing at the face of it along with your friends and family, the disease will also can't ruin you in any manner. And if you are Bollywood love types, you must give it a try.

She is portrayed as a brave girl who was brought up by single parent, Major Shergill, who lived in Dalhousie. Though the chapter begins with the suffering of a girl, by turning pages we can find an interesting character like Varun, Trisha’s cousin.
She is taken to Delhi to treat her cancer. Initially, she was not interested in taking up the treatment, as she believed she wouldn’t survive any longer. But in turn, the universe holds a new surprise for her when she steps into the hospital. There comes a life saver of Trisha, Aditya. At first sight, Trisha and Aditya liked something about each other which created a new bond between them.
Slowly, Trisha, Varun, Aditya, and Meetu (Varun’s girlfriend) became good friends. All the three supported and encouraged Trisha to fight back the fear of cancer. Through this moral support, Trisha succeeded in undergoing the surgery. But unfortunately, Aditya is about to leave after 20 days since he needs to report to the army (military).
What did happen after Aditya left? There was a pause, and the story continued after years. Where Trisha met Dakshit. Dakshit shares some special bonds with Trisha. What was their relationship and how it went? Did she get an opportunity to meet Aditya again? Did Trisha recover from cancer? Do the four friends get a chance to spend time together again? Is the rest of the story…
Bald after chemo is not an issue/ Chemo group/ Written letter twist!
Certain things which I like the most about the plot:
Love: it is a kind of feeling which doesn’t bother about any flaws, how they look, what they lack. It is all about how we see their soul.
Friendship: No matter how hard the situation is, what hectic state we are in. We will always have those souls to support and walk along in all the weird things we are about to do. They are ready to share our pain and happiness together.
Sacrifice: When we truly love someone, we are ready to do anything for them and go to any extreme to fulfill their wishes. All we expect is to see a smile in their eyes.
Support: Parents have always been our moral support. No matter what we wish to do, if we have our parents to support us in all our decisions, it is something really special.
This book actually put me in a state of devastation for a while and made me long for true love. But in the end, I understand what love is, and the true meaning of it!

"Life is a lonely tunnel in which you dance and create your own steps to smile and be remembered."
With a thought as beautiful as that, author Himanshu Rai spins another surprise for his readers in the form of an amazing story trapped within the pages of the romance novel "You are Still the One".
The book traces the lives of Trisha, Aditya, Varun, Meetu and Dakshit who are brought together by a remarkable play of fate. Trisha's illness brings her to her cousin Varun's house in Delhi where she gets familiar with his girlfriend, Meetu. At the hospital, she meets her Doctor's son, Aditya, the attractive boy with a charming smile. And soon, their love and friendship takes a new turn towards unfamiliar roads. The four friends enjoy their time together trying every means to encourage Trisha and keep her spirits high through her recovery.
But the turning point arrives when duty calls Aditya to Siachen and after the news of an accident there, they never hear from the smart and cheerful Army Officer again. Aditya exists from the show, but his words and smile remains forever engraved in the heart of Trisha, who keeps the hope of their reunion alive within her. Whether Trisha recovers from her illness, meets someone else or reunites with Aditya is for the story to tell.
"But that was life, and one had to be prepared for the worst to receive the best."
With a meticulously woven plot, gripping narrative technique, smooth flow and the innovative style of mingling the past and the present together, the story exercises a powerful influence upon the heart of the readers, teaching them the true meaning of love, life and happiness.
The short but compelling read has skilfully captured the central essence of all the characters. The characters of Trisha and Aditya are sure to make a special place in the hearts of the readers and stay there forever.
"Some characters make a space for themselves in your mind, and make you feel as if they are always there with you."
The heart-warming tale of love, fate, faith, smiles and friendship holds the readers in a tight embrace, makes them cry and smile at the same time and strengthens their believe in miracles. But most importantly, it tugs at the heart strings of the readers, compelling them to look at life from a completely different perspective.
"When we move ahead, we leave footprints that may mean nothing for us, but can define a path for others."

Author Himanshu is such a versatile writer who can switch from thriller to sci-fi to romance with ease, and I am a huge fan of all of his books.
This book is a perfect mix of love, fun and charm. It really describes the word "Love" in the most beautiful way possible. The book hits you deep as apart from romance it also explores friendship, relationships, mental health and many more.
The story is all about Trisha, a very bright and charming girl who was only seventeen years old and diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (type of cancer). She leaves to Delhi with her father for her treatment and there she met Aditya and his friends. Aditya is an army officer by profession. They both became good friends and eventually they started loving each other. Love is such a powerful force. It’s there for everyone to embrace that kind of unconditional support for all of humankind. Aditya gave her new hopes and a high spirit. Aditya and his friends supported and encouraged Trisha throughout.
Now after two months of vacation, Aditya had to go back to his duty. Now how will this affect Trisha's life. Will she recover? What's next for Trisha and Aditya? Can love find a way in this warm-hearted and romantic book?
The simplicity and the subtlety of the plot and the adorability of the characters are profound and there is no way, simply no way for someone to read it right till the end without shedding a few drops of tears.
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. There are no words to say how good it was; you just have to read it for yourself. The reader experiences one of those moments when they lose touch with reality and cry their heart out for their fictional characters.
Author Himanshu has a fantastic sense of humor and an incredible way with words. With an overwhelming plot and well-connected narration, the author utters out the various emotions of the people in love and the essence of romance and respect. The character development in this book is beautifully done.
This book has everything enough to keep the reader bound up to itself with a lot of ups and downs. I really felt attached to the characters of this story and it didn't take me long to go through all 216 pages and it never really felt like a lot either.
This book is amazing, the best I have ever come across in romance books.

While Trisha was undergoing her treatment she met Aditya, who gave a life lesson that "we are not dead, rather we are here to fight death". Trisha was intelligent, ambitious and the most beautiful girl and she has just completed her secondary education and now busy struggling between life and death. While Trisha was hopeless, the doctor motivated her stating- " Cancer is not a disease, it is more about attitude. If you keep your will strong and fight, it will be cured."
Trisha met Aditya,for the first time, in the hospital while Aditya's mother was a cancer specialist, helping Trisha cure her cancer. On the other hand, Aditya used to motivate and make Trisha feel happy so that she forget her sickness. The friendship between Aditya, Trisha and her cousin varun along with his girlfriend grew so fast and was so pure that no one wanted that friendship to end. Trisha fell in love with Aditya but never disclosed since she used to believe that she would not live long. Trisha knew what was love .
"Anything in your life, which brings smile to your face, even when u are in deep pain is something called " Love".Aditya has created a strong bond of friendship in just few days. Indeed, it's true that one never knows when or with whom the bond of friendship is created and built. Since, friendship is an extended version of care, it's his (Aditya) big heart that makes him care for Trisha. Being with Aditya made Trisha smile and it was the age when you are careless about everything. The only thing that mattered were smiling and enjoying life. Undergoing her chemo, Trisha started losing her hairs but her confidence overtook her fear. She started feeling freedom of selflessness. Aditya was always by her side supporting and making her smile all the time. Trisha didn't know how long she would live but wanted to live every moment to the fullest. Trisha was a silent and reserved girl and tried to keep to herself but Aditya tried to pull her out into the world, a world that he felt was meant for smiling. Baldness can be a big deal, but fir Trisha's friends and family, her smile was the biggest deal. Aditya fell in love with Trisha and Aditya confessed that she is the most beautiful girl he has ever met.
Moreover, her real beaty lies in her behavior, attitude and her thoughts", also, no matter how old you are, believe in yourself. "Real love is all about thinking what is best for your partner while you wept in your loneliness".
Trisha was not sure about her life and she did not want Aditya to waste his time for her. So, Trisha recorded a video for Aditya - thank you for coming into my life and showing me the path, I had dared to dream earlier but had stopped doing so. Your compassion was my strength, your smile is something I adore, and you are the best thing that have ever happened to me. I want to be with u but cannot. I'm not sure how long I will live, but will always remember your smile. She cried as she didn't want to leave but did not want Aditya to ruin his own life for the love that had no future. After her treatment, An year later, she left for London, she got admitted to Greenwich. There she met Dakshit, who had many qualities similar to Aditya, but Trisha used to miss Aditya every moment. Dakshit was the one Who brought back her happiness after Aditya. Aditya was not in contact since three years. However, Dakshit fell in love with Trisha. He made every moment special but Trisha always felt Aditya's absence. It was time when Trisha got the message from aditya and expressed his love and after a week was missing as found in newspaper.

This took me a full day to recover from!
This story is about two souls, uncertain about their own life yet happily living for each other. Our main protagonist Trisha - a 17yr old girl suffering from Hodgkin Lymphoma with minimum rate of survivals meets Aditya - a cheerful army officer during her hospital visits who brought colors into her life. Soon their bond cherished and Aditya became part of her life with Varun and Meetu - her cousin and his girlfriend. But as we all know no love life is such a straight path. Soon duty calls and Aditya leadoff with not so on a good terms with Trisha living everything in between.
A quite normal love story at start takes you on a emotional ride with joy, tears, beautiful bonds and what not. With exact details and fast pace storyline author has significantly built up the story and kept on unfolding the chapters with unexpected turns. The narration is quite interesting as initially it seems a normal love story but as you get deep into the chapters it becomes more and more interesting one as it keeps on moving back and forth in the timeline making you completely indulged into the story that too perfectly relating it all with the incidents accordingly.
Character development is amazing as i liked how Trisha matures and understands her surrounding learn to live a little and all that happened because of Aditya. I am in love with him how can someone be so assertive towards life, always motivating and finding meaning in each and every thing. No doubt Trisha deserved him but then there comes Dakshit who played equally meaningful role in her life making her remember all her beautiful moments spent with Aditya. Sometimes life becomes harsh and dumps you into a situation where you just cant choose what to do and whom to choose. And here's Trisha trying to find whos that one person for her?
Giving you all positive and soothing vibes this book makes you realize actual meaning of different bonds and true relationships. Didn't even realized how fast i gone through all those 216 pages. i was numb with the ending and somehow didn't processed what just happened but that's ok.
Some love stories make you cry and yet make you believe that miracles do happen.
Not everyone can be a part of your life till the end but their loving memories can!

Let me open up my review with what is " Hodgkin Lymphoma." To be very straightforward is a type of lymphoma, in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cell called lymphocytes, where multinucleated Reed–Sternberg cells (RS cells) are present in the patient's lymph nodes. The condition was named after the English physician Thomas Hodgkin, who first described it in 1832.
The book that I will suggest to you folks today is an exceptionally captivating and extremely fascinating book. The substance of this book will make you fall head over heels for this book. You are still the one by Himanshu Rai, An endearing tale about adoration, confidence, grins, and fellowship. The entire story spins around a 17 years of age skilled young lady, Trisha, who has been determined to have Hodgkin Lymphoma- One type of blood cancer. So her dad, Major V.C Shergill, comes to Delhi with his girl, for her unique treatment, where she meets her doctor's child, Aditya, a shrewd, happy armed force official. Their fellowship and love bloom during Trisha's treatment. Indeed, even as Trisha is far-fetched about her recuperation, Aditya, alongside Trisha's cousin Varun and his girlfriend Meetu, keeps her spirits up, empowering her. After two months of vacation Aditya needs to return to his obligation at Siachen Glacier. In the middle of her treatment, ADITYA is going to leave for his obligation. After some days very bad news comes from Siachen Glacier, what is in that news? What happened next? Does Trisha recover? does Destiny has something more for them? And What happened with Adity in Siachen Glacier? Some love tales can make you cry, but cause you to accept that wonders do occur. Every one of the characters is very much outlined. Where Aditya is merry, Trisha is serious and meditative about existence. Where Major Shergill is a concerned dad, Varun is the pleasant sibling. The differentiation between characters is the same as how relations are in actuality.
THIS IS A MUST-READ. Written cautiously, this book is something that will be a joy to peruse, and I prescribe you to peruse it. This book is certainly worth the buy and worth the read. Go For It Guys, and grab your copy now from amazon.

You are still the one by Himanshu Rai is a romance novel with a lot of twists and turns.
The protagonist of this book has unlimited sufferings in life yet she is an optimistic and positive person carrying a ray of hope for herself and her father inside her heart. Her words and actions illuminate the aura around her with positivity. She loses her mother at an early age and her father retires early from the military to take care of her. Soon she is diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, a blood cancer that she knows might consume her completely one day. But, she is a fighter and willing to put all her efforts into getting well. Cancer shatters you, and its quite obvious that there will be moments you will be completely sad, hurt, or tired to go on and take the treatment and lose all the strength but the decision to fight against all odds is positivity and a symbol of a strong human being with great will power.
I think Trisha received such strength and positivity from her inspirational father. When diagnosed with cancer Trisha asked her father if she would die and this was his response, which is also one of the amazing takeaways from the book.
“Life is an undiscovered galaxy with millions of stars waiting to meet you; there are friends out there you’ve never met, new cultures, new beginnings, a new life, but the same is true for death.
Her father Major V.C. Shergil, takes Trisha to Delhi for her treatment, where she meets Aditya, the son of the doctor who is in the army. Their friendship blossoms into a beautiful relationship where Aditya and Trisha continue to inspire each other, Trisha fighting cancer and Aditya fighting wars in the army. The story was really straightforward in the start but later there was a twist in the plot. Some love stories can make you cry, and yet make you believe that miracles do happen. Apollo hospital now suggests Trisha continue her further treatment in London where she meets Dakshit. Life is full of sunlight and shadows that influence every situation. Do you think Aditya would return back from Siachen? Was he dead or is he still alive? Does Trisha love Dakshit? Can she ever forget Aditya? Will she be able to live a happy life after beating Cancer?
Grab the book and discover more about this miracle love story.
