Story-in-Short:

"You took me for granted once, later I did the same, and now it has become our never ending game.Life snatched his happiness away when he desired it the most, but granted with it later when he was better off alone. The journey of a kid, who strangled between his estranged parents, to a man struggling to choose between his first love and his crazy infatuation, Eshan survived everything, well almost all of it. Getting away from his infant brother made him decide to leave everyone behind and then he never came back until

For whom he jeopardizes his profession to protect her future, or with whom he absconds to another country to fulfill her bucket list. Who will he choose? Will he meet his brother after half a decade? Will he be able to comprehend the true meaning of happiness?

A tale inscribed to teach you, motivate you, or even to rescue you from the twisted games of life.

In my view:

William Shakespeare says: “When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won. When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learnt to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on. And when I mastered the art of hating, somebody started loving me.” Such, and similar things that happen in life convince us to believe that life is a bitch. 

You never know what may happen when. I finished reading this tale, involving a boy, whose life snatched happiness away when he desired it the most but granted with it later when he was better off alone.
Eshaan, the protagonist of the story comes across difficult and flummoxing situations since childhood. At a young age, Eshaan feels a gibe of life. His parents separate leaving him with his father while his younger brother is taken away by his mother. Eshaan learns to live a life and his father does all that he can to keep him happy and satisfied. 

Eshaan falls in love with Disha but things don’t work out in his relationship. He still goes on in life with a slight disappointment and hope. Often life leaves him to prioritize between two things. He doesn’t give up and courageously proceeds ahead. But will the hope factor finally work? Will he be able to accomplish what he wants? What is in store for Eshaan? Explore Eshaan’s story in detail by grabbing the book today! 

The book takes a reader through the interesting tale of Eshaan’s life; a life with topsy-turvy and celebratory situations. 

The cover of the book is mesmerizing! It is thought-provoking in a sense. The title, although long, is interesting and suitable enough. Both factors that have first impression on readers will successfully and easily drag eyeballs. The narrative is interesting and so is its narration. For most of the time, the story proceeds quite well but there are places where the story becomes confusing and disinteresting. 

At places things happen at an extremely quick pace. I personally found certain dialogues rapid and absurd. Often, the connection between the story and dialogues goes missing. This may put a reader’s attention down. The author could have expanded the story appropriately to connect it well with the dialogues. Apart from these, no other drawbacks and I must say that the book has a lot of offer. 

Indeed this book, published by Omji Publications, brings a tale which teaches you, motivates you and attempts to even rescue you from the twisted games of life. Do read it!

Considering everything, I would rate the book with 3.5/5. Congratulations to Omung and hope he keeps writing and bringing us more tales!
