Love by The Way

One is a painter and another an entrepreneur, and both have to explore much within themselves to figure out something they are confronting.

You must read this story to see what it feels like to be them.

You Are the Best Wife
by Ajay K Pandey
We have read many love stories about boyfriend and girlfriend, and honestly, we are done with that part. We have not read much about what should be a love story between a husband and wife. Does it remain the same, or it explores and talks so much about love as a feeling? It is precisely what Ajay K. Pandy brings you with his soulful book ‘You are the best wife, and I am sure you will love it from the core of your heart. In my view, a true love story, fortunately and sadly, both. Though the author speaks about his experiences very frankly and with humour, I still can’t keep myself empathising with what he experiences as the love of his life left him during the journey. For the rest of the story, give the book a read.
