    Synopsis

    Second Thoughts is a love story about Maya, a pretty girl who is eager to escape her dull, middle-class home in Calcutta for the glamour of Mumbai, where she moves after marriage to Ranjan, a handsome, ambitious man who has an American university degree and a wealthy family background.

    Maya is determined to be the ideal wife, but finds herself trapped and stifled by the confines of her arranged marriage to a man who, she discovers, is rigidly conservative and completely indifferent to her desires. She begins to experience great loneliness in suburban Mumbai.

    She strikes up a friendship with Nikhil, her charming, college-going neighbor, leading to love and betrayal.

    Second Thoughts (Butor novel)

    Second Thoughts (French: La Modification, 1957) is a novel by Michel Butor. It is the author's most famous work.

    Plot summary

    The plot is quite straightforward: a middle-aged man takes the train in Paris to visit his lover, Cécile, whom he has not informed of his arrival, in Rome. They have met in secret once a month for the past two years: each time that his business trips have taken him to the Italian capital. He now intends to tell her that he has finally decided to leave his wife, found a job for her (Cécile) in Paris and is ready to take her back there and live with her.

    The novel describes his gradual change of mind. His initial enthusiasm and hopes of a rejuvenating new start slowly give way to doubt, fear and cowardice. He eventually decides to spend the week-end in Rome alone, go back to Paris the following Monday without telling anything to Cécile and leave the situation as it was until their relationship eventually ends. He will write about this failure in a book which happens to be "La Modification" itself.

    You say you want to feel
    Everything again like it used to be
    Then let's go back
    Unravel all our string
    Marking all our paths on the trail
    So we're not lost
    Let's find a new way back to your heart
    To your heart
    You say you want to see
    Everything again like it used to be
    Then hold your breath
    I'll take you back in time
    And show you the world that made you mine
    On second thought
    How 'bout we find a new way back to your heart
    To your heart
    How am I to say everything that I needed to
    There has to be a way to make you see the same way that I do
    Well I don't know how but i'll stay cause you are the one
    And I'll lift up my hands to the sun
    We don't have to hide
    All I know is that we still have time
    On second thought
    Won't you come out of your shell
    And show me the love you work so well
    On second thought
    We can find a new way back
    We'll find a new way back
    We can find a new way back to your heart
