Shrimati and Shrikant grow up as neighbors in a small town in Karnataka. Shrimati is a calm, intelligent, and compassionate woman with a deep love for history and academics. Shrikant, on the other hand, is ambitious, competitive, and determined to rise in his career. Despite their contrasting personalities, they fall in love and eventually get married.
In the beginning, their marriage seems ideal, filled with love and mutual respect. However, as Shrikant’s career takes off, his focus shifts entirely to his professional ambitions. Shrimati, who has always supported him and sacrificed her own dreams for his success, begins to feel unacknowledged and undervalued.
The turning point comes when Shrimati realizes that her identity has been overshadowed by her role as Shrikant’s wife. She earns to pursue her passion for history and reclaim the independence she once had. This creates a rift in their relationship, as Shrikant fails to understand her need for self-fulfillment.
Final Thoughts:
Gently Falls the Bakula is a moving tale that reminds us of the importance of nurturing both
relationships and ourselves. Sudha Murty masterfully captures the nuances of love, sacrifice, and self-realization, making this book a must-read.
