FACE THE REVIEW: and then it rained….
STORY: I’m copy pasting the synopsis as I don’t want spoilers. And. Waste the time. Efforts. Imagination of the author.
“It’s better to let go of someone who loves you…
than keeping him in… love with you when you know
you cannot be with him forever…”
This is what Aarti had told Aman a night before she left him forever…with nothing but those memories of the rains.
Rains have always been a part of Aman’s happiness..! His first bike ride…his first gold medal…his first kiss… it has rained on every occasion!
Rains have always been SPECIAL! And he believes that all bad things in his life will come to an end with the rains.
Nagpur…That is where Aman Sarin has lived all his life. That is where he dreamt that someday he would be the next big thing in Bollywood.
After moving to Mumbai to pursue his education his life is nothing short of a fairytale…he has what most teenagers want…a great group of friends…the charm and the popularity…and to top it all a hot girlfriend.
They say life is a vicious circle of sorrow and happiness. So what happens when Aman’s fairytale goes wrong? What makes him the guy whom everyone hates…when once he was the guy everyone adored?
Will Aman put back the pieces of his life and rise above all else? Will his dream of filling SRK’s shoes ever come true?
But most importantly for Aman…after a rough summer… Will it Rain Again?
About the Author:
Gaurav Dashputra is currently completing his medical education from Dr.D.Y.Patil University in Navi Mumbai. Originally from Nagpur where he finished his schooling, he now lives in Mumbai where he plans to settle down. But most of the odds are against that.
And Then It Rained is his debut novel. He has written two plays for his college festival and is gifted with a great sense of humor and wit which has always helped him be a crowd pleaser.
Gaurav loves to swim and was a national gold medalist in his school days. He is a huge foodie and loves to eat. He is a huge movie buff and a diehard fan of Bollywood movies. He pretty much watches everything. If you see a mysterious black Santro on the streets of Navi Mumbai post-midnight you can pretty much be sure it’s him. Stop him, ask him to pull over and say hi without hesitation. And if that sounds a little bizarre.

My view:
The story is good. The main character Aman has been described very well. But I find very less use of supporting character. The best thing in the story is the twist. This is where you relate to the story. And connect the dots why the main character is doing all this. When the twist comes you get to know the real meaning of the theme line “It’s better to let go of someone who loves you… than keeping him in…love with you when you know you cannot be with him forever…”
It’s a lengthy book but you don’t get bored reading it.
I would appreciate the author for trying something different than usual college love stories. This is the first book which I have read without a bestseller tag. Means I have read it when it was released. I would like to see that tag very soon.
The only thing which I did not like is its cover… This might be because I had seen the previous covers. But…I would like to advice to change it
I’m looking forward to read more books from Gaurav.
STARS: I would give it 4 out of 5.
