▶️ Share a story of unexpected friendship or conversation that stayed with you? Some books open old wounds only to help us heal them, to live through the ache once again so that we may finally let go. Richa Telang’s A Place in This World did that for me. It reminded me how acknowledging grief is the first step toward healing, and it beautifully portrayed this through the journey of Ira and Sahaj. The story begins with a late-night radio show, where Ira shares her pain, unaware that a listener, Sahaj, recognises her voice. Was this the beginning of something new? Or simply the start of another journey? Ira and Sahaj, both having lost their partners to COVID-19, are caught between grief, responsibilities, and the demands of raising their children. And yet, on that night, their paths cross. What brings them closer is not romance at first sight, but a shared ache, a loss too heavy to name. What begins as a moment of shared vulnerability slowly blossoms into a connection built on empathy, faith, and unspoken courage. Richa beautifully takes us into the world of Ira and Sahaj. With children to raise, families to care for, and careers to balance, life had already tested them. Yet, through this unexpected friendship, they discover strength and solace, and the possibility of finding joy again. Their friendship blossoms gently, supported by families who welcome this bond with warmth. What I truly loved most about the story is the warmth with which Richa sketches not just Ira and Sahaj’s journey, but also the friendships and support systems that surround them. Whether it is Ira and Kritika’s bond or Pia and Soham’s quiet presence, every character feels alive and meaningful. Their presence reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; friends, family, and even strangers often play a vital role in helping us piece ourselves back together. With every chapter, joy slowly seeps back into the characters’ lives through small conversations, shared responsibilities, and the courage to dream again.
