The story starts with the flashback of The Taj Mahal Hotel terrorist attack in Mumbai and ends with the narration of the love story, in the same hotel. Aparajita, a middle class IITian, from Goa is a Christian who falls in love, undoubtedly, love at first sight, with Aniruddh, a rich flamboyant youngster studying Economics in Delhi University.
Aniruddh separates himself from his family on this pretext and leads a humble life along with his wife who later becomes pregnant. Aniruddh realizes his mistake and makes a desperate attempt to save his beloved wife from death, but in the meanwhile, meets his own while Apu is rescued. The love story though is not new is narrated in rather a different tone with lot of local jargon and not-so witty humour. Somehow the narration could not garner enough tempo for an active page turning experience, though the synchronization was alright.
The feeling of love was not so ecstatic and passionate to be remembered for long after closing the book. Congratulations to the author in bringing out this book successfully but wish him more success and fan-following in his forthcoming releases. One person found this helpful. One of my favourites now.
The title is just the words, story unfolds in a very dfrnt level. Compelled to read in one go..
Wish end could be different.. A sweet love story which portraits the Mumbai terrorist attack with its full completeness! I would have made a 5 star if the climax was better. But i consider books as entertainment Felt very low after reading the book!
