Silence Under The Blue Sky edition by Rajalakshmi Prithviraj Tuhinanshu Kar Literature Fiction eBooks
Silence is a novel based on reality, about an expecting mother in the Indian Air Force who loses her husband (also in the Indian Air Force) in a tragic helicopter collision. Names and circumstances were changed to protect the privacy of the people involved.The story unfolds, told back and forth through the eyes of the mother, Apoorva, back then, and the eyes of her elder, now-grown daughter, Ananya, twenty years later, who also joins the Indian Air Force and insists on flying a helicopter like her father had. Apoorva communicates with her husband in her dreams. Ananya looks back and tells her mother’s story to her male friend and Air Force peer, Animesh. Animesh has heard of Apoorva from her esteemed place in the Indian Air Force.
We see how an unexpected death brings out both the best and the worst in people, especially with the sexism rampant in India at the time. But the Indian Air Force always treated her as a Veer Nari (brave woman).
Animesh’s father was also in the Indian Air Force, so Animesh had heard of the tragedy way back when, as nine men lost their lives in the crash.
The story ties up nicely in the end, when Animesh realizes that the one telling him the story of Apoorva and her husband is their daughter.
This is a very moving story, with a few hard truths that apply to us all.

Silence Under The Blue Sky edition by Rajalakshmi Prithviraj Tuhinanshu Kar Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Usually I don’t do book reviews, but sometimes your conscious just forces you. One such push came from my conscious when I read “Silence – Under The Blue Sky”. First and foremost, let me tell you that “Under The Blue Sky” is a series that reflects the lives of the men and women in Blue – the Indian Air Force.
“Silence” is a true story of resilience and the indomitable spirit of a lady in Blue. It is an account of incredible misfortune and the battling soul of an air warrior. This true story arises the feelings of compassion and empathy but never pity.
The premise of this story is set against the backdrop of an unfortunate incident, wherein, two helicopters of the IAF had a mid-air collision on 30 August 2012, at Jamnagar. It was fatal and there were no survivors.
The author, Rajlakshmi Prithviraj, recounts her ordeal and the unconditional support and respect that she got from her extended family of the IAF. A small peek into the future tells us of her aspirations for her children. Her strength of character and dedication for the organisation is eminent in each and every word. She is a pillar of strength and a woman of infallible spirit. All she wants in life is respect and a chance to live it on her own terms, without being judged.
I have had the good fortune of knowing her as well as her husband and let me tell you that the lady today is no different. Her twinkling eyes and ever present smile are always there to make you feel at ease. I do not use the term “late” for her husband as he continues to live in her thoughts and memories. The only thing different, now, is my respect for her and the love of her life – her sweetheart, her husband.
Rajalakshmi Prithviraj presents a story of fiction and historical fact that provides a very interesting look into Indian and military culture that I have never seen before. This story is a unique peek into what it can be like for not only an Indian woman, but one that has the support of her military "family" even more than her extended family.
I found the story confusing at times, mostly because I didn't have the cultural or military background to be able to relate, but a bit of internet searching helped with some of the translations and history. There are a few technical writing issues, but I found most of them to enhance the story and lend authenticity.
There are also several idioms used that made me smile, and made me realize that literal translations of sayings from one language to another can sometimes be very different from their intended meanings. Most do not make the story incomprehensible.
Overall the story was touching and I enjoyed reading it!
I was given a free copy for my honest review.
This book was based on a very touching story about a woman who lost her husband while she was pregnant. The dream entries were quite poignant but I had a bit of trouble with the rest of the manuscript as it was written in a very formal manner.
This book was interesting as it came from the perspective of an Indian woman. It speaks of the Indian culture and the expectations towards women as well as the subculture of the Indian Air Force. At times I was confused as to some of the lingo because it was written from that perspective. However, the book speaks in a humanistic way as well when it describes the tragedy and pain of losing someone close to one’s heart.
Overall, I would recommend this story because it gives unique insight into India’s cultural expectations towards women. It also speaks of the tragedy of love lost and dreams coming to an end-something everyone can relate to. If you enjoy studying other cultures or can relate to the pain of loss, this story is for you.
