life is what you make it preeti shenoy review

The book is based on a true story and when I first heard the story, it moved me so much that I decided it had to be written and shared with the world. Bipolar Disorder is slowly gaining awareness in India but continues to be treated as somewhat of a taboo topic in most households. Instead, it is around an individual, who had Bipolar Disorder, and rather than sit back and accept it, she decided to change her own destiny and make life what she wanted it to be. The focus of the book is not Bipolar Disorder. What made you decide on taking up this theme? You have chosen to focus on Bipolar Disorder in your second book. Now it feels great that people are enjoying it and it is making an impact on hundreds of people. LIWYMI took a lot of hard work, intense emotion and a whole lot of research to write and the whole process did initially leave me very drained out physically and emotionally. When I receive such mails and when someone tells me it has left an imprint on their lives, I feel very satisfied and that is true success to me. They have showered me with their love and affection and some have even narrated their own personal lives which are similar to Ankita’s story.

Many, many readers have written to me after reading the book, about how touched they were. However, success to me is not just about the number of copies that the book sells or it reaching the top of the list. Of books on Flipkart, Landmark and India Today top 20 Fiction books. ‘Life is What you Make it’ (LIWYMI) is now a National Bestseller and is also the topping the list Frankly, this was a story that I felt was very inspirational and had to be told. It is indeed great to see the effort I have put in to writing this book paying dividends. Just as the tagline in her blog, ‘Just a Mother of Two’ goes, Preeti is an author, poet, artist and a mom!
