Cupid @ Corporate by Meenakshi M Singh is a tale about the most beautiful feeling on earth, Love. And the author succeeds in bringing out the different facets of Love and Longing.
The story is about Suhaani, a single child and daughter to conservative parents. From childhood, she often feels unwelcome in her own family, she gradually learns that her parents always wanted a son and not her. The author has subtly but effectively explored these emotions of rejection in a young girl’s heart. Even when she grows up to be a smart and intelligent woman, well placed on the corporate ladder, her parents hesitate to let her travel abroad for work, all they want is her to get married.
Then arrives Sidharth, her suave and handsome manager. Love blossoms, but working in the same firm, do they have to keep it a secret? Would his family accept a strong career-oriented girl like Suhaani? Not just family, would he be comfortable if she bagged meatier roles?
Cupid @ Corporate paints an in-detail picture of the corporate world. The team, their activities, projects, politics, and working style, in fact, the author encompasses all of this in her story.
Of course, there’s love and it’s different shades. Sweet nothings, little tiffs, jealousy, passion, romance… It’s incredible how one story incorporates so many aspects of a woman’s life.
The narration is well-paced and smooth. There’s no dull moment as the story doesn’t slag at any juncture. Cupid @ Corporate is definitely worth a read, it’s compelling and you won’t like to put it down till you finish. There’s always something to look forward to.
My Rating: 4/5
