Reseñas
A set of useful papers on how India's struggle for independence ended up in the partition of the subcontinent into two countries. They put into perspective the choices before our leaders during those decades, and may perhaps help us to reconcile ourselves to the situation as it is today, and make the best of it rather than hanker after a hypothetical ideal unified state.

Book Title:
The title of the book is different, abstract and the reader will be clueless about the story of the book.
Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is an outline of a young man’s head with text in it. The names of different places, events, incidents, and props related to life. It seems every word has a story in itself.
Plot:
The story starts with the speaker of the story, Shahil traveling and in the airport happens to meet his long lost friend. When they meet and converse with each other they realize that they are traveling to different cities and both have only 3 hours left to talk. When Shahil is asked about his grandmother, his reaction and the statements given later startles his friend. When his friend understands that Shahil is going through a mental block, he tries to ease him and extract the hidden agony from his thoughts.
Shahil then opens up and illustrates the events happened after the college, how his life has taken a big U-turn and the aftermath repercussions of certain realities. When Shahil says the realities are found in form of handwritten letters after his grandmother’s death, his friend gets surprised, and he gets even more stunned when he is told about the content of the letters.
The author has beautifully woven a story with past incidents that are still the burning issues of our country along with neighboring countries, the loss people suffered personally and economically, and the common people becoming a prey in the political games. For more details, well reading the book is the only option
What I like:
1. The title and the cover image is very new and intriguing.
2. The plot and the storyline.
3. The flawless narration
4. Many unknown things about the people who live in the abandoned places in the country borders.
What I didn’t like:
There is absolutely nothing to dislike. The story may seem to be a drama for people who are more into sci-fi or non-fiction genre.
Characters:
All the characters in the story are very beautifully plotted and maintained throughout the story.
Narration:
A very good beautiful and gripping narration is observed.
Language & Grammar:
A very English language and good vocabulary are used.
My Final Verdict: An interesting, gripping and a good story that paces back into history.
