There are books in the world that you should spend time with to reveal its essence in time than rushing. This book definitely feels like that. Let the events sipe in, just observe, but yes at the same time get ready to feel the mysterious vibes which at times send discomfort.
Its about Ravi but his journey across lesser-known Indian towns feels deeply personal, as if the places are reflecting parts of him and us at the very same time that we all have tried to ignore or are ignoring in different phases of our lives.
The words create strong emotional impact. There is a constant sense of unease, curiosity, and longing, which kept me turning the pages.
It’s an interesting book because it doesn’t give easy answers. You have to think , feel, and connect the dots on their own.
I got my copy from Amazon, and it was one of those reads that stayed with me long after I closed it.
