I am not a Durjoy fan. Got this book from a friend and hence read it. This ones better than "Of course I love you till I find someone better, " after reading which I had stopped reading his novels at all.
Ok, this one is a love story( as the name suggests). The author Deb finds a half burnt diary in the lanes of Chandni Chowk after the Delhi Bomb blasts with which he had a close shave. Shaken with terror and scarred with the painful sight, Deb brings the diary home to find an unknown lover confessing his love for a girl secretly. The background is from Dehradun from where the characters of the diary finish school. While reading through the pages of the diary, Deb realizes that the unknown lover should deserves his love. Assuming his death in the blasts, he connects other characters of the story and goes on a wild hunt for them.
In some places, the story is interesting. Though it sounds unrealistic to search for unknown people in new cities, the emotions are well brought out keeping in mind the aspect of "True Love."
The moment Datta gives a mysterious twist to the story, he dilutes that zenith with some flashy sex scenes or stupid chic-ism( ok I coined that word) .
His girlfriend( from the last novel) Avantika is engaged to him in this novel. She supports him through out, Rajeev_Vermacially after the blasts when Deb is scared to death.
Again, the novel may not have something too good or new to offer to the readers, at least it is not as stupid as "Of course I love you". His writing has matured a bit since the last one. No typos, and easy language makes it a good read.
No value addition to literary content. Good for college students or those hopelessly in love!: p Not bad @ INR 100
