Love, Life and Dream On ...

“Love, Life and Dream on” is a beautiful fiction by Animesh Verma, 2nd year Chemistry student pursuing his Masters from IIT,Bombay. Perfect book to be read in a train journey, I bet, once you start this, you can easily finish the book in 5-6hours, such is the narration of Animesh.
He says:
The quintessence of Love, Life and Dream on is to make us believe in our dreams. It’s about the details of our lives that we really do not care about, but they turn out to be the faded dots on the canvas of our life, which are required to complete the picture. The story unfolds with few students who are in search of themselves which I must say is the beginning of a lifelong romance. They want to dream but the dreams fade away with the realization of the rationality life has taught them. Aniket falls in love at first sight and what followed was a romantic journey of a young lad trying to woo his lady. Will these friends win the game of life and dream? What will happen when dream meets fate, fate meets friendship and love caste its magic on everyone? Come with me and revisit your friends, love and a dream that has not been achieved until now…

The book covers love, college life, and the dream of young entrepreneurship, terrorism and above all great bond of friendship, emphasizing almost all the pages on “DREAM ON”

The dare to dream starts with a poster read as:

I SHALL WORK FOR AN INDIA IN WHICH THE POOREST SHALL FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR COUNTRY, IN THOSE MAKING, THEY HAVE AN EFFECTIVE VOICE, AN INDIA IN WHICH THERE SHALL BE NO HIGH CLASS OR LOW CLASS PEOPLE, AN INDIA IN WHICH ALL COMMUNITIES SHALL LIVE IN PERFECT HARMONY. THERE CAN BE NO ROOM IN SUCH AN INDIA FOR THE CURSE OF UNTOUCHABILITY OR THE CURSE OF INTOXICATING DRINKS AND DRUGS. WOMEN WILL ENJOY THE SAME RIGHT AS MEN, WE SHALL BE AT PEACE WITH ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS IS INDIA OF MY DREAMS.
- M.K.GANDHI
