The story was so interesting and moving. The story begins where Shivam thinks of the riots that happened on Dec 06 which turned his life into a living hell. This book shows how violence in the name of religion can destroy the lives of people. I really felt bad for the happenings in the life of Shivam. Babloo is such a good friend who was with him all the time in need and I like the characters a lot. A small ray of hope can change the lives, that was the change that made him travel to different parts in search of his love Aaina after 10 years.
The Kurti he stitched for his love 10 years ago reached him and made him search for her. The flashback was also so good. I loved the ending. The writing is so simple and loved the way of narration and the characters in the story.
Ravi and his feeling of saying truth to Shankar Bhai or dying is something that we can see in real life too. When we can't live up to others' expectations we take wrong moves. There are a lot of people who live and stay alone in some other country making money for the survival of their family and their happy living. The second half of the book also shows the difficulties faced by many people working abroad like slaves.
Overall, it was a good read. Read to know the journey of Shivam to find Aaina.
