Review of the Last Book I have read - "Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar" #TheBookBlogTrain

There are some books that you instantly want to read as soon as you come across them. The reason might be the cover of the book, the title or something else. The same happened to me when I came across this book and I do not know the reason behind it. These sudden urge of reading a book are often risky because you can pick up a wrong book in this and regret it later. However, the adventure and risk are worth trying because you will learn how to choose books for reading.

About the book, it's a story of 3 different people who accidentally meet each other in Dhauladhar. It all starts with the commencement of a hydro-electric project in the remote Himalayas. Nanda, Khusru and Rekha are the main characters. They all have a secret past which discreetly, they hide it from everyone.
The book has a rich diversity; diversity in emotions and diversity in backgrounds. The story is not based on something stagnant. It is a story of Nanda from Kerala who is currently working in the Himalayan region. Thus the story has some traits from both Northern and Southern India that the respective readers will be able to connect. The background scenes and the situations have been described well. The story has murders, mystery, and emotions.
Nanda is staying in the Himalayan region, not just for his work but there are some other reasons too. Khusru is a young boy while Rekha is a dancer and doctor. Her two contrasting professions attracted me. The stories of these three people are connected Dhauldhar and a lot is happening there. You will have to read the story to find out.

The novel has many themes in its womb. Love, pain, poverty, misery, terrorism and above everything, dreams. I praise the author for putting the light on various hideous topic, which are never been "topic to discuss" The book explains how planning and plotting of terrorist never ends.
Story carries you to different places very quickly but it's the perfect pace for a reader to understand everything. "Life goes on , even in the rigid situation." The book says a lot about this statement.

Beautiful and heartbreaking story. If you are looking for a different premise in contemporary fiction, this is the one to pick up.

MY RATING - 4.5/5

And the jalebi - a fried syrupy snack - hot and crispy from kadhai, is a perfect ending to kachori indulgence.
