The story is about a strong headed girl Arundati, a literature master D.G. Beckett and a shy and timid lad Nikhil. Arundati and Nikhil are classmates of St. Paul College, an institution known for its supreme literature gems.Arundati is an intelligent and sharp literture student, who is has also been poetry contest winner since past three consecutive years but this year, it was not her. The bad day became worse (at-least, this was how she was taking it) as her teacher – Nadkarni assigns her the duty to host the soon approaching Founder’s Day with someone in class named – Nikhil.She wished she could somehow make him runaway from the responsibility.An intelligent masterpiece of love story as far as Indian literture (or writers) are concerned. It is hard to digest that this is the first attempt from the author’s pen. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story and that too without taking any break. The strong characters, straight plot, simple story-line and beautiful poetry – what more can a reader ask for from a dedicated author. A reading treat both for eyes and for minds alike.The eyes get a treat as they visualize the journey of the characters from individuals to pageturners and a treat for the mind because very rarely you find a solid script without any crap intimate scenes and laden with culturally rich literati. I loved how two contrasting literature lovers – Arundati (a western culture admirer) and Nikhil (an Indian literature expert) strike chords with each other and with a background score from D.G. Beckett.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The author has been successful in balancing – Pyar and Poetry, the two essence of college life with utmost ease. A must read especially for college going students and those who are interested in college romances!Read complete review at Books News India Blog by Priyanka Batra Harjai
