Story: This story is about love loss and never giving. Protagonist Shravan is a son of a rickshaw puller who is broke famished but high in spirt and determination and dream to touch sky and vanquish whenever life poses a challenge. The story is about Mugdha daughter of a railway officer beautiful alluring and rebellious. The story is about their earnest love and of the childhood love friendship. What makes this story different from regular love story is the character buildup narration and larger than life and its challenges. Shravan characters challenges and his ability to handle them with ease, Mugdha realistic portrayal. This story left me agape and lamenting but simultaneously its inspirational. The other characters complement the story well and make this a worthy read. Shravan’s endowments help me elude difficult situations in life and his sole motivation was love.

A recommended read and with twists in plot make it more interesting.
