Introduction:
This is the book which have acted saviour/motivator for me. This book is very close to my heart.
Plot Summary:
It is a story of two classmates, named as Shrimaan and Shrimati. Both are equally brilliant student and neighbour. There is one Bakula tree who separates their houses. They were class- mates up to tenth standards, Shrimaan thinks he would top this year i.e.. 10th but unlike his thoughts it was Shrimati who tops. while he remained second. Shrimati loves History so chooses this, while Shrimaan selected the subjects which can make him go in IT field.
During higher secondary education both started loving each other. The duo's love blossom under the Bakula tree at their home. The Bakula tree is the sole witness of their love.

Writing Style:
One of the key feature of Sudha Murthy's book is easy language, even the new reader can flow with the novel. I've read this novel in just one day.
My perception:
As I stated earlier, this is a book which is motivator for me. All the Indian girls are taught to sacrifice something for everyone either it's her parents, brother or husband. But nobody cares us, here Shrimati who has sacrificed everything for her husband found nothing and finally decide to live for her and her love towards history. I recommend this book to every girl.
