"Do you live in present and forget all that was there in your past? Or do you drag your past in your present? Both will end up to a scary situation if a balance is not made well between the two. Shreya and Dev, a young couple will tell you what their life was full of. A Navy officer’s struggle on being on sailings and managing his love life and an old grandfather’s silent lifestyle that was the best companion to Shreya for long. Their story will touch our existence, make us think hard on our living and even hit us hard to hear the end. The intoxicating delusion of young age, its fire, its ambition can distract even the simplest of girls from a small town, who are brought up with family values and principles as their core like it happened for Shreya. Even the strongest officer like Mr. Sahai can feel helpless when he sees his life falling apart and loved ones getting detached from their roots. The battle between love and peace is not verified by achieving the end goal of togetherness but can also be lived by gracefully handling the pain and uncertainties of separation when life doesn’t go as per your plan, as it happened with Dev. The end cannot assure you to have the life of dreams in a lavish house, with your love along your side but a few wrong steps and the guilt of your mistakes can bring about loneliness and there memories left to please you for the rest of age. This is the story of guilt, remorse, ignorance, love, friendship, promises, ambition, passion and reliving. This is the story of Dev- Shreya and the Sahai’s."

The book is a superb read and eye-opener for many who run the race of materialistic success who forgot the people around them and working like robots, are selfish to reach goals without any feelings, and sending time with our loved ones.
When we look back at times we should be happy that we were there for people who love us and have taken care of them rather than regretting the lost moments. Life is not a race and we all are mortals.
The story of Dev and Shreya was good, I liked them. especially Dev a navy officer who visits his family and girlfriend in his holidays and the feeling of missing them living with their memories till they come back is something hard.
The narration is so good and the way of writing is in a simple way with such a good message. I do recommend everyone to read Easy Chair.
