No doubt this masterpiece is leading the emotions, strength and knowledge all three at a same time but after reading the opinions of public we regard it as ' Milestone of Revolutionary Literature' indeed a literature should be in the way that it affects the people's life so deeply and this book is doing the same. Here are some vividly narrated opinions to this masterpiece.

We are aware of the health afflictions women face because of menstruation but a deadlier consequence can be expected from Menopause when a woman hit her 40s and the uterus undergoes changes. The issue is very few people are aware of what is menopause and what can be the consequences. We have women folks in our house, but we are not fully aware of the changes and pain they undergo.
The author has highlighted an issue of paramount concern through his fictional storyline of Me No Pause, Me Play. Dolly is a housewife in her 50s who has spent the larger part of her life taking care of the needs of her husband, Rajat, and raising their kids. As and when Rajat started climbing the ladder of success, he started taking Dolly for granted and felt entitled to her cater to all his whims even if she is sick.
The author has poignantly highlighted this issue which is prevalent in majority of the households in India. Even in household which does not treat women as a 2nd class citizen, the awareness regarding the health complications faced by women due to hormonal imbalance is next to nil.
I liked the way the author developed a storyline to raise consciousness on this issue which has more impact than a non-fiction book documenting this issue. The writing style is precise, simple, and easily understandable which can be consumed by readers from all strata of the society. The author has done a good job in realistically portraying the dynamics between couples, especially of the previous generation and the millennials where the roles were rigid, and expectations were set as to the responsibilities of the males and females of the house.
I also liked the subtle way the author tried to play with the word ‘Menopause’ for his title. The author wants to send a message to all women that Menopause should not be an encouragement to pause their life and aspirations. It is the right time to continue to spread your wings and keep soaring.

A moral boosting women centric slogan for a women created by a women herself “ME + NO + PAUSE, ME+ PLAY which is a self help quotation and means, I will not stop in any adverse situations in life. This slogan not only changed a women’s life, brought her back from the death bed but also has an important message for the women struggling with menopause. The most admirable factor was that this story provided an information to the life partner too who needs to acknowledge the changes his wife is going through at this time. Family help and support is very crucial for every women who undergoes a harmonal change in her mid life. Not only the beginning of the story was dramatic by the end was equally pacifying. I really enjoyed the entire episode. There was a friendship and relationship struggle which were portrayed very tactfully. A noteworthy work by the author who has intelligently achieved his motive of presenting his work of thought to his audience.
