The religion in India is always a favorite topic for storytellers and writers. The love stories based on the subject of religion where young lads fell in love across religions are all too familiar for the readers. It’s a restless and edgy story of Sameer and Inara fell in love at the wrong time with the wrong person.
Sameer is a Hindu boy of a fruit seller single mother. Inara is a Muslim girl belonged to an influential family. They accidentally fell in love much before they knew they were in love. Oblivious of the consequences their love could bring on them they stepped ahead. Based in an Old Delhi neighbourhood, this intense love story has many profiles and brings out the real faces hiding behind religion and protected by dirty politics.
The story of this book is based on the religious differences of the protagonist couple. The plot is not new but the storytelling is impressive. The twists in the story in the right places leave you on the edge and make the story an interesting tale to read. The story is factually correct. It is a work of fiction and if you are living in India, you could easily relate to it. It is a reality check to know what religion can do in India. Religion is a political weapon and makes a major difference in winning. The Indian politics vote bank depends on the religion of the voter. Here we talk more about religion than development. The plot of the story makes it a must-read for Indian readers.
The story is interesting and blunt. I loved the execution of the plot.

‘Great Textpectations’ is a story of new age romance and heartbreaks. The new age love starts with texting and ends on blocking the number. The virtual love and virtual relationships are the base of this story. It is easy to be connected all the time, crediting technology and not physically present with him or her. Based on ‘text is the new talk’, this book talks about relationships without baggage.
Amaya, thirty-five, single and ready to mingle wants a boy who could understand her and her field of work. One who could understand giving space in relationship and respect who she is. She is a lover of words. She met a boy while playing Scrabble online, and that’s how their story started. Starting from a casual talk and ended becoming friends and exchanging numbers, this relationship goes offline and they decided to meet. What happens to the virtual relationship when they meet in the real world?
The metro city and metro culture are in the backdrop of the story. In the cities where life is too fast to keep the balance, relationships are becoming more and more fragile. Lust overpower the magic of love, changing equations of the new age relationships and romance in the fast-paced life where dreams and ambitions take the front seat and relations sits in the back seat.
The story is interesting and of a new age. It surely appeals to the texting generation who believes in keeping the world in their pocket and everything at just a click away. The story is relatable. The characters are sorted and clear. Relationships have changed in the last decades and this book talks about the changed mindsets. A story of modern love.
