Some lines of Ravinder, before reading further.

Days pass by somehow
But nights now are a wagon of pain
Injuries may heal with time
But marks will always remain
Restless on my comfortable bed
I toss and turn and try to sleep
But thoughts are bulking my head
And have formed a huge heap
The past is flashing
its scorching light-beams
Tearing me apart,
breaking me at the seams
The darkness of my life,
is more visible in the dark
And now I am trying to give it a voice,
trying to speak my heart.

Insight/Review

Ahh.. what can I say. I liked this book so much that I cannot tell. Perhaps I was able to relate my life with Ravin, that’s why. Love has been told so beautifully in this book and Pain has been told equally well. And I did not expect end like this. And this is what makes this book different from others. I would like to say one thing that if you have just had a breakup. So I will not suggest to read this book. Because you will not be able to stop you from crying.

The character development of all in this book was quite good. The language of this book was also very simple. More hard English has not been used in this book. The start and ending of the story was magnificent. The last chapter was very impactful. It was admirable.
