We all have attended our moral science class, didn’t we? Well here is the revision of all the lessons.
‘I stand for you’ by Kastro Kiran is a novel that gives us insights about the different faces of social vices, besides, creating a typical idea about the title- a lover standing for his loved one; and how to deal with it; because clearly ‘United we stand, divided we fall’. There are several other lessons taught to us through this simple yet effectively written novel. Notwithstanding one’s own problems, some people decide to lay a helping hand to others in need; and it’s proved, in this novel, what goes around, comes around. Do good and good will come to you, the characters in the novel set a good example of good deeds.
Speaking of the novel, the characters are strong enough and self-explanatory for their individualities. The love story is unpretentious between the protagonists, Rahul and Kreeti, yet complex in terms of their thoughts and actions. The novel is not that exciting for a love story nonetheless; its uncomplicatedness keeps the manner of the flow to hold the reader’s attention. Minds from different backgrounds, one from business and the other from social class, find its way to each other’s heart, compelling the former to think in the exact mannerism of ‘his sunshine’. The conversations between them and the supporting characters are guileless; we tend to live each intricately defined moments described by the author, be it any character, its identity, thoughts or gesticulation.
The problems discussed in the novel are relatable; we do face the mentioned situations at one point of time or the other, instead, we have our own perspective to deal with it. While dealing, we need to think before what we opt for, for every decision one makes it affects the outcome in the slightest possible way. We as a Nation stand together and the youth of today sets a great example. In a seemingly democratic country like India, we still need to fight for our rights, not just individual rights but ‘ours’; for it is rightly said, ‘we are nothing without people around us.’ The story starts with ‘our rights’ and concludes with ‘fight for her’.
We often tend to wear a blinker resembling the horse, neglecting the other forms and aspects of life and society. We forget to question, we have a bad habit of being content with what is given not knowing the ill –effects of the oblivious unknown. We fail against Politics.
For what it’s worth, be prepared for a habit of saying, ‘Sorry’ and ‘Thank you’, the usage is that frequent.
