Life is meant to be beautiful. One grows up with hopes and dreams of
things turning out for the personal best. One tries one’s best to be positive
and make the most of life. One is an optimist as long as can be. And yet, sometimes what begins well doesn’t progress
as nicely as it possibly could. Challenges come up frequently and they have to
be handled well each time. If one is able to weather the storms and keep up the
tempo of courage and perseverance, one might find that things have gradually changed
for the better for them in the long run. It is all about how one is able to
cope with things that seem tough. There may be a point of time when one may
feel like giving up, and then, it’s as if, let me try just one more time! That
is the spirit that often gets you on board!
In my book Soulmates Never Part, Sheila Kumar lives a normal life until things go out of control for her. The situation goes on to become so bad that she needs support, a support that is non-judgmental and undemanding and something that casually uplifts her emotionally. It is difficult a period of her life and no one she actually knows in real life is proper enough to share her life’s dilemma and her pain. She isn’t able to vibe with anyone or trust anyone with her situation that is emotionally over burdening her. And no, she is not on the rebound. She isn’t consciously looking towards any attachment, let alone love or a relationship. She wants to feel better, she wants to look after herself well. She doesn’t want a nervous breakdown. She wants to live.
Does this sometimes happen to people in real life too? Do people ever wish that there was just this ‘someone else’ who would pop out of the blue and be there for us when we need it? Someone who would be understanding, non-judgmental, undemanding, distant and yet close enough to be trusted?
Maybe that is just a human need of a circumstance and there is no dearth of good humans in the world, both real and virtual. I have been told by many that they are actually on the internet looking for that ‘total friend’ that they have never had. That is the reason why they keep adding friends hoping to find the right person. However, no one seems to hold for long enough. The expected vibes don’t happen. And yet, sometimes they do and friendships happen that last. But love? No, that doesn’t happen easily and not often. Not the real thing anyway.
Soulmates Never Part travels through time, circumstances and situations that bring two people, absolute strangers, together. Soon, Abel hints that they are Soulmates and Sheila learns the fact slowly. What begins with a quiet curiosity slowly progresses through understandings, love, trust, faith and is shattered hopelessly. But then, if love is true and strong enough, it finds its way one way or the other, doesn’t it?
Why would somebody go in for a long distance relationship? Can it be as satisfying as a normal one? How easy or difficult can it be?
Soulmates Never Part, through Sheila and Abel’s connection, takes a shot at finding an answer.
