‘The Fault In Our Stars’ By John Green is a book about the power of love as it survives through the biggest tragedies, including death.
So, honestly, I picked up this book from the book-store only because of the hype that surrounded it (and also partly because I found the trailer of its film adaption REALLY intriguing).
‘The Fault In Our Stars’ is about life (and mortality), love (and its immortality) and what happens when you know that what you have today is probably all that you will ever happen to have.
Fault in our stars is painfully beautiful and miraculous. It makes your eyes moist on some occasions and then at other times, it makes you think and be grateful for all that you have. This book could have easily been a pitiful story about a teenager girl with cancer who falls in love with a boy (who also has a history with cancer). But, no this story does not ask for sympathy it just demands to be felt.
The Fault in our Stars is a deeply moving story, with some really achingly wonderful, joyous moments. This book is about learning to live (and love) when you know that both your life and your love are only temporary. But, then again, if it is not forever, then it does not love!!
This book made me realize that Hazel’s story is just one of the many stories of fighting the battle the best you can.
Life can’t be predicted, it can’t be summed up, it can’t be, on most occasions, explained rationally to our oh-so-logical mind, all it can be, is felt, lived, and embraced.
Augustus fears oblivion and that’s what life challenges him with. Hazel learns to live with her cancer (like she has a choice!). The whole thing is unfair but then the whole thing is LIFE!!!
My Most Favorite Quotes From Fault In Our Stars:
So, take a ride through this book if you want to know the power of love as it survives through the biggest tragedies, including death.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
