Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar : By Kochery C. Shibu
Synopsis : A hydelpower project in the remote Himalayas. Three people brought together by fate. Nanda, an engineer from Kerala at the dam construction site hiding from his past, from the law, torn between the love of his dear ones and the traditional kalari code of revenge. Khusru, a boy displaced from his native village in Kashmir, a gambit in the terror plot threatening to blow up the dam, working as a labourer at the site. Rekha, a Kathak dancer in heart, a doctor by profession, arrives at the campsite as the consort of Khusru. A village that accepts the dictates of modernity with a heavy heart, its population steeped in superstitions and religious beliefs. All throng the campsite like moths to a flame, some escape untouched, successful; some, miss a step, and perish. Each has a story to tell and a dream to realise. Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar is about the aspirations of these people with their cares and worries woven into the site life. The fury of nature and the hardships of project life have no mercy for the weak and no time for the dead. Like an eternal spectator the Dhauladhar watches as men risk life and limb in a quest to fulfill their dreams.

latest review on Amazon
3.0 out of 5 stars Have to read 1/4 to understand but worth it., April 2, 2013
By DeNisa Howe - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar (Kindle Edition)
This book started out a bit rough. It smoothed out about a fourth of the way in and started to show the connection the author was intending. The characters were slow to develop but in the end the complete picture had arrived. Many of the chapters reminded me of a book of smaller stories and at the end they blended together in the bigger story. Perhaps if there had not been such a broad line drawn between the characters back and forth in different chapters it might have had a smoother reading. The plot was very good and the details were spot on making you feel as if you were looking at it and smelling the streets and public transportation. The dialog of the characters was actually superb. I had a very hard time deciding on a rating for this particular book as it was exceptional in some areas and not in others.
I did receive this book free via the author and do appreciate the chance to read it

Review on Amazon
By maddss123 - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar (Kindle Edition)
The novel is a complex interwoven story of a Kalari exponent and his accidental journey into the hills of Himachal for building hydel power plant and a side character from the Kashmiri Shepard tribe. Those wanting to be in the business of hydel power plants, this book is a definite guide to the issues involved and the risks! The triumph in the story is clearly Nanda, a tough go getter,whose courage and determination makes things possible against adverse conditions! I strongly recommend this debut novel for the shear live characterisation, details of events( many of them I suppose based on real stories & issues) and strong grip on the subject. The novel is worth reading and gifting to friends & family!
