Dear April Tell Her, I am sorry ! By Sourav Sahu

Dear April Tell Her, I am sorry !  By Sourav Sahu  _______________ There are few books that instantly capture our attention. This is one such story that immediately captures your focus, as it starts with the protagonist's death.  Yes you read it right. Death is the thing that we want to run away from  because we don't know what will happen to our dreams, hopes after it.  But when Awadh gets to meet The Keeper of the souls and comes to know about a juncture that he has to pass, it all becomes so riveting in itself building a curiosity to know what lies beyond death for Awadh.  I liked reading their conversations. They were beyond the shallowness that wraps us in this 3D reality, but lets us contemplate about what really matters while we are here, alive in this world. What is it that truly counts in the end. And unconditional love is one of them.  People do mistakes and they carry its pain  till their death, or do they carry it beyond that?  How does cosmo
