My thoughts


Drug addiction is a major social evil that is taking youth into its grip and affecting country's biggest human resource .
This book revolves around such a plot where the protagonist is under the addiction of it .


Dr. Sharma's books always are based on such topics that need discussion for betterment of society . For example the previous book Break up Clinic was read by me a year ago which focused on psychoanalysis of Post traumatic stress symdrome patients . Another of his books put strength on reducing curruption in bureaucracy. Most books of Author revolves around the true cultural values of Indian society that helps curb such occurrences.


This particular story portrays the major reasons why youths go under influence of drug addiction and how that degrades not only their lives but destroys their loved ones too.

They run into crime and destroys their glowing future for nothing.

At times most go so far they are impossible to recover even if they want to.


Language is ornamental at places that makes for a nice read.


Character of Aarti and Aakash were interesting .


Twists and turns make the story enjoyable with chain of events.


Few times I got bit confused at few pages.


The plot is effective to convey the necessary message underlying in the story.

Cover is minimalistic and beautiful soothing.

Why did Aakash take up drugs in the first place ? The protagonist walks far away in the addiction of drugs , what will change his course ? Will genuine love help ? Or is it something else that will make him strong enough to fight in this struggle.To know you may read this book.
