It is amazing…..SUPERB!! I enjoyed reading it….it was a pleasure to read your novel Sir! It had everything…..Comedy, Drama, Romance, Emotions….it was a perfect blend of all. The most important thing, English used was simple & easy to understand. As a result, I finished reading your novel in a day itself. I started reading it yesterday, i.e. Sunday, 1st May & finished it in the evening. Mentioning English/Hindi Phrases inbetween the story was classy! Greek Philosophers ran around n…d shouting like a madman Eureka Eureka….I have found it…..this was too funny, I laughed for almost 2 mins….lol….don’t exaggerate khali-peeli….Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Dilli se Goa Tak….Zaalim Zamana…..I enjoyed them all ….</p><p style="margin-top:15px;margin-right:25px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:25px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5;">….. Then, when the story returns to Present Tense…..Taj, Mumbai….that was the part, where my smile vanished. I became serious, very serious. Believe me, my eyes were wet throughout. I understood what the end might be, but again, I was wrong….The end was different….it was shocking! I read the last 2 pages twice, before I understood what had actually happened… (lines removed so as to hide ending) … I was in shock & then, the book slipped out of my hands. I picked it up….stood on my desk for 10 mins….SHOCKED! Then, I got up…..Sir, believe me….I actually did this. I got up & applauded & said, “Well done Mr. Abhimanyu Jha..you have written a wonderful romantic Novel, Well Done! Well Done”.</p><p style="margin-top:15px;margin-right:25px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:25px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5;">I’m not joking, I actually said this. You surely casted a spell upon me….I mean, your novel</p>
