STORIZEN REVIEW
A Handful of Purple Sky by Mridula Bajpai
Reality is the most dangerous thing in life. Facing reality with utmost energy and willpower showcases the courage and strength of a person. In this book by author Mridula Bajpai and as the blurb suggests, the book is her untiring fight against cancer she was diagnosed with. In the book, The author has described her struggle and fight with the disease very honestly. From the moment she was felt uneasy till the last radiotherapy sessions, her travel was inspiring.
Though she had family and friends as support, she - herself being positive, ever self-motivating, and a definite focus on facing the dread is endearing to read. Before the treatment, the detailed explanation of her apprehension, feelings, confusion, and worry is heartening to read. But the moment she started accepting the reality though worrying sometimes and questioning the destiny -’ Why me? ‘, her insight towards the future filled with hope is definitely inspiring.
