A typical Indian novel be it for the name,character,context,beliefs and what not. . This novel is a mix of friendship, business, cricket, love and religion.
It begins with Chetan recieveing a mail from one of his fans that he has taken sleeping pills, writing a mail to Chetan waiting for the eternal sleep..Chetan traces this guy and comes to know whatever had happened and he straightens things out.. Its a very realistic story.. The story is about 3 friends Govind, Ish and Omi.. Govind a Maths geek with very big dreams, Ish for whom cricket is everything and Omi a very loyal friend who would do anything for his friends.. The other important characters are Bitoo mama(Omi's uncle)who contributes for the "religion" portion of the plot, Vidya (Ish's sister) who contributes to the "love" portion and Ali who is born with a hyper reflex talent that makes him hit a six of every ball he faces contributing to the "cricket" portion.
There were several instances that portrayed the friendship b/w the three, but the last few pages left me in tears.. A simple narration with far deeper meaning.. Being a very small novel, you will surely feel relaxed after reading it.. Truly a worth read...
Here are some glimpses of the plot..
Govind, Ish and Omi start a business by setting up a sports shop and they progress drastically within a short period of time suddenly there is an earthquake that leaves them in debt...
Govind,Ish Omi and Ali get a chance to go to Australia to get Ali trained in the Australian Cricket Academy..
Govind and Vidya are in love, of which Ish isn't aware..
Bitoo Mama wants to kill Ali..
Omi dies..
Tempted to know what happens.. Go get the book and read it...
