Scars on My Soul Ritu Chowdhary

-It's clear now that I'm going away from her. But she's the one to plan it. It seems, no matter how stupendous a human being you are, there's always an evil in you, and it counters the good whenever your own interests are harmed. It's natural.- In the novel, Adie and Presha are two individuals who loved their freedom more than anything in life. Life takes a fascinating turn when they are bound together by the mystical feeling of love. They decide to be together for life in as impulsive a way as they were doing several other things. But only till the day when Adie tells her something which turned their life topsy-turvy. Initially she brushed it aside, considering it to be a darker shade of love- over possessiveness of a husband. But, can the feeling of possessiveness turn someone into a beast? This transformation of Adie from a contemporary man to a leery and controlling husband was blowing Presha's mind. Will Presha change herself to appease her husband? Had Presha actually changed after marriage or was Adie's notion about Presha a delusion? Can love be so frail that some hormonal imbalance can destroy it? Or is it 'cause of some unexplored dimensions of human existence- a journey of the soul across lives.
