“All pains can be washed and healed away, only few of the pains can be healed only by time.”
Written on the background of software industry and its influential sphere, the Novel, “The Bounce” tells a story of being whirled down by loss and grief in the heart, incurable from any kind of consola
tion but by time and the adventures of a computer programmer as he travels around the globe beyond the comfort zone of traditions and family boundaries. A natural and subtle storyteller, the writers has really narrated a mild life-story interestingly.
This story is a living mark of how we value our norms and traditions, being the protagonist return back to his homeland, and going for an arranged marriage, depicts that even after westernizing, we love to keep up to our own traditional values.
The novel as well unveils to the outer world, the cruelty lying inside the Indian working scenario; in the chapters where he narrates the slow and adamant response of the flight crew towards his panicking moment of his child in suffer. While on the hospital, the protagonist has to go through the annoying taxi-driver and also needed bribing the clerks to get him serviced impromptu, this depicted how blatant we Indians appear to each other.
Penned in a lucid language with not so elaborated scenes, the writer has been successful to spellbind the readers throughout the novel. This story speaks of the chronicles of the migrating Indians, his way of understanding the world and paying his tribute back to his own country.
After reading the story, after knowing that it is a mix-up of fiction and real-life experiences, it was great read swirling up and down the occurrences if events feeling the pain and the loss of the protagonist and his bounce back to continue his life back as normal. It shall remain to work as a healer to those who have faced the same fate and are unable to recover themselves.
