HIGHEST RANK#162 in teen fiction

.............................................................

Since childhood, as every normal kid the girl too was an obedient child or to say an innocent child with simple dreams and expectations. Daddy's little girl and the star of her Mother's eye, the girl grew up to truly becoming an ambassador of her parent's dreams and ambitions. Say it societal pressure or sometimes even buttering own pride, just for the mere satisfaction of being able to boast of in front of a group of spectators, we often are made to do things which we simply hate, but call it mere fate or inability to retaliate, all of us have to pass through this phase sometime in our lives! This little girl however was a little more fortunate, to have such a phase that overshadowed almost a major chunk of her adolescence. Since then there had always been an undesired silence, an unabridged gap between the girl and her parents that made its brief encounters in its own form at such situations.

When you do not have people around you to share even the smallest happiness or the slightest sorrow in your life and you get the feeling of being the only surviving human on the planet, you are alone. But what is being lonely then? Do these two things mean the same or something really different? Does a few compilation of words in a dictionary explain the meaning of these two words clearly?
Well, Alone or Lonely is an intriguing tale of a young girl Mira Mathur, who is a simple college going girl who is neither depressed nor dejected with life but still faces issues of being solitary. The story mainly embarks upon the equation she shares with her parents, her friends and her not so friends! It is a journey that leads her to a complete new revelation about herself with bits of instances from our routine lives, which again poses the main question. Is Mira just a girl from another story or is she U, is she Me?
