Against Time & Destiny

Book Review

This story breaks with the conversation between Pihu & Rhimjhim (her cow) in the hills & forests. Pihu and Samarth are the main characters of the story.

Pihu is a 22-year-old girl who lost touch with her Baba (father). Eight years ago, he said unfinished goodbye to them. He used to talk on phone calls on weekends with his family. It was limited to once a month & then disappeared in the last six years. Since then, Pihu has wandered in the green lands with her Rhimjhim. She takes her to several places to explore the world, Adventure & dangers.

Pihu and her family were shocked to hear that She was announced as the nominee for a 50 lakh INR property of her father. And Samarth visited here for project purposes.

In the journey of verifying documents, they are facing & observing the bad side of each other for the wrong reasons.


Pihu is hard-working, but she is from a poor background. It reminds Samarth of his childhood days, which connects them. He likes the nurturing quality in her. 

Samarth is a Rich boy, and he does not know how to have empathy or nurture. Instead, he loves to break. 

He convinced Pihu that he would help her to search for her disappeared father. She ended up observing at least something good in him.

The story is about trying to tie a knot between 2 people who are opposite.

She has fallen in love and shared her world with him. Unfortunately, something happened! Probably every girl is afraid of it. 

She is amazed to see another side of Samarth. He was in despair, broken because of his past life & wounds. 

She was helping him to heal slowly. He was breaking her in return. He was shattering her faith, love, & eventually, their relationship.

One day, they were separated by destiny. She was feeling betrayed! The man she was trying to love broke her. Her heart is now full of hate. 

What happened that night?
What is the climax of the story?
Are they seeking revenge, or can they mend their relationship again?

You can read the book to learn more about the story and what happened next!


What I like:
The narration is smooth. It is based on some ground facts related to the culture of Indian families and the difference between rich & poor backgrounds. Along with it, the story's theme is connected well, and the flow gives a feel of the movie running in mind.

Recommended: Though I am a girl who has never fallen in love. I believe more in reality & real life. And I do not want to niche it down to limited people just because of the point that I have never experienced such incidences. However, I can not recommend it to hopeless romantic people who are too crazy or possessive about love.
