By seeing cover pic and the tag line 'Love, Heartbreak & Marriage', I framed the story would be a
triangular relationship where either of couple will be tied and another one will walk away. But
it was not like that.

Socha Bhi Na Tha

The author tried build two stories simultaneously, but stories are not concurrent. One relationship
with Padma is decaying and another with Aditi is ripening. Another integral part of the story is mail conversation, instead of chat or long duration call.
Padma who doesn't have any remarkable quality which can steal Shyam's heart, but circumstances make him to say 'Yes' when she proposed her and gets married. The relationship didn't last long. Aditi is a character of beauty and charming, impresses Shyam easily. But when she professes her love to Shyam, he replies 'No'. Later when Shyam feels 'Love' and expresses his feelings , Aditi refuses to accept. Eventually Shyam gets settled along with Shrisha.
The heart-broken part has been expressed very honestly, you can relate if you have gone through. But
the story has been marinated with too much office stuffs which may not be interesting to everyone. At end of the story you will find out the truth of life, "Your Past is your Destiny. Your future is your
free will. Your present is your prarabdha karma".

Sometimes it Happens

When love comes,brain becomes illogical and heart starts dominating. Here the love story of Gautam and Roshni echos same feelings. Roshni, twelve years senior to Gautam works in same office but in senior management position.

Sometimes it Happens by Karan Sharma 

This exceptional but not impossible love story finds the way to register 'married', though the journey to convince parents, society were not smooth. Initially Rohit planted some scenarios in Gautam's mind which could lead them to separate in future and later same happened with Roshni when Sonal took the place of Rohit, eventually love drags both of them together. Throughput the journey Gautam earned precious support of Richa, elder sister of Gautam.
When people don't know what would be waiting for tomorrow then  how a person can judge a relationship and push a couple away from each other. I would be happy if this was a true story ,not a fictional. The best part is ,there are some lines at last paragraph where author describes the attitude of judgemental people.
The story ends with typical Bollywood style, overall I have enjoyed and would recommend my friends despite of some errors which could be rectified .
