The story of 'Nothing To Regret' by Tanya Dias is fabulous with a lot of surprises in store for the reader. For me, the climax was beyond imagination. I am sure, it will be true for every reader unless somebody is reading it again. The story has a rhythm and music of its own. The music is a combination of sadness and hope. The protagonist, Anu, is forced to become an explorer to find out some realities of life and form a different perspective altogether after witnessing those realities that nobody is aware of in their family. Anu's Ajji (maternal grandmother) is diagnosed with deadly cancer and she requests Anu to travel to Europe (Italy, France, and finally to London) to perform some particular set of tasks for her. Since Ajji, Juliet, is serious and has very little time left, Anu accepts her invitation
Anu (Ananya) travels to Europe all alone to explore her Ajji's past and explore something that is unknown so far. I find it a worth reading story that takes you a little closer to life. The story, in my opinion, qualifies well to create a classic movie. It is an impactful story.
