Have you ever thought about your mistakes which caused your last break up?
Have you tried to know the depth of philosophies which work behind a good relationship?
Have you ever thought of meeting your ex after a few years of being apart and then having a conversation over how things are going in your life, how much you have changed yourself from the last day you met him/her?
This book is about two ex lovers who met after a long time. The name of the protagonists are not revealed through out the book.
The narration actually goes on like "he said- she said- he asked- she told".
The whole plot is based on their conversation over various topics such as life, love, lust, hope, future and retirement.
They realised a lot of changes have happened in their life over time and how those helped them grow up gradually.
"It’s so strange that the most important changes in our life usually don’t have a date and just like evolution you realise the change long after with no chance to even protest the change."
The book consists of only 110 pages and does not take much time to read but the philosophical thoughts and theories of life explained throughout the pages take much time to understand.
I loved the unique thoughts the author put in his debut novel which shows his ability to create a masterpiece in the future.

The book is about a conversation between two people where they discuss each and everything till they have nothing to talk about. Who these people are? What their conversations are about? And why this conversation? There are many questions which will be answered by this book of 110 pages.
Though it’s a short book but a heavy read. Yes, you need to give time to absorb every single thing the author wrote.
The plot of the story is interesting with twists and turns. I loved how each chapter had a mystery, it’s own story.
The writing style of the author is witty and appealing. One can connect to the story well.
At times it’s a bit tedious and heavy with many confusions.
Overall it’s a beautiful book.

💗Either Or Else Nor💗
A story of two strangers! They meet after a decade or so, just for one night!
Nothing seems the same as it used to be when they were in love! As the night wore on, they come closer than they ever were.
Will they be able to reunite? Will the ghosts of the past be exorcized? Or is there something else we can’t see.
.
💗Have you ever read a book and after completing you have thought a lot, a lot about it it? This is was the book which made me think and think about it even after completing it. This is basically a story of two people, complexly woven with intricacy and the product is worth appreciating. The language though is simple but the meaning and message the book conveys is not just important but it's deep and the more you think about it you go more deep into it, it's like a puzzle, the reader has to assume and understand. The perspective keeps changing, this book is truly one of it's kind.
.
It's a very short one, I could easily complete it in less than two hours but I had to re read many parts to link and try to drive hidden meanings about human behavior and relationships, the flavours are so so strong, the way the dialogues are delivered, it's impactful. I admit I haven't read something like this in a long run. Also, the way it ended again left me thinking, I agree there a bit of confusion and some parts didn't felt as relevant or rather I would say, I had to link them to understand. Yet, I loved it so so much, can't believe it's a debut. Highly recommended.

"Either Or Else Nor" is a story about two people who are in love with each other but in different ways. Yes, they love each other and always like each other's presence but the difference is She needs him but He wants her. He wants her that doesn't mean on the bad sense that all of us normally take, but in the way he deals his own life, because he can live without his needs but can never live without his wants.
She and He were broken into pieces until they met each other because their broken pieces were perfectly placed together into one. But where did the fault came that they had to drift apart for such a long time of 10 years? Now they are meeting up again, remembering their old memories but will this lead to their unification? Will they give each other another chance? That is what you all need to find out.
It is a really short but interesting read. I had different thoughts about the story but it ended up in a total different way and I in one way liked it. There are places where you also feel numb and feel their words sink in perfectly. Author has written the characters as He and She and not with specified names which in fact gives the story a mystic form. I recommend every one to give this a read and know how these characters have their fate written and as it perfectly plays with the saying- everything is fair in love and war.

Sometimes when people lose contact or do not get to see each other everyday, the conversations lessen and there comes a time when they become hesitant to even acknowledge the other person or say a 'hi' when they accidentally spot each other somewhere. Either Or Else Nor is a story somewhat similar. It is written as a dialogue between two ex lovers. The idea of portraying human psyche and emotions through dialogue is very unique and quite impressive. The initial subject matter is dealt with in a commendable manner.
Even though the story is merely a hundred and ten pages long it proves to be complex in it's base, the readers will have contrasting emotions while reading; minimum characters, and all of them unnamed, the drama is already heightened and the climax will leave you sitting there contemplating what the hell did you just read. Our two protagonists are in the middle of a conversation, the conversation is strained, unlike earlier times, small talk seems vain.
The characters, though anonymous, are relatable and to be very honest it took me a teeny tiny bit of time the get the idea around my head. All in all a refreshing and beautiful read! Kudos to the author!

What happens when two Ex-lovers met after a long time. If I meet my ex-love I don’t know what to talk about, where to start. Not only me many feel the same. In the story also two ex-lovers met after a long time. And they don’t know what to talk about and where to start.
A short book can complete in single sit. The chapters are well divided. You might think after reading the whole book because it takes time to get the deep meaning of emotions.
The characters are very well built and the plot of the story is interesting with good twists. That was the reason I said the chapters are well divided.
I got connected to the story. I hope who reads everyone will connect because the narration is good and the writing style is impressive.
you must read the book to know what topics and what those ex-lovers spoke to each other.
A good book.

Good one!
'Either or Else Nor' by the author Varun Gupta is a story revolves around two people who are meeting after a long time for one night to say everything they always wanted to say when they were in a relationship. It's normal to get clueless on what to say and what not. They don't find any way to express their inner feelings.
The book is a short read that can be covered in one sitting. The chapters are well developed where the conversations are well-written, keeping the thought of maintaining the pace in the mind. Then comes the language part which was error-free. The storyline requires mature minded readers to understand the gravity of emotions. Moreover, the title seems perfect with the story and the book cover looks good. Overall, it is a nice read!
My rating to the book : 4/5

Love, life and everything in between!
I would have given it Four stars but this one was new writng for me and some parts just went over my head hence the three stars. The philosophy of the story is what I struggled and also understood. The pain and the contemplation of a relationship related to society, life and two beings was something that I found interesting. There are no names and the author has tried to convey his story by making it everybody's story. The prologue is confusing yet understood. The subjective part of life is indeed something entirely new I read in a book.

Either or Else Not by Author Varun Gupta is basically a short read about two lovers who met each other after a long time. They didn't knew what to talk about at first but as the time was passing by the flashbacks appeared right in front of them. The conversation turned so lively and soulful that you will feel like you are in front of them like an unseen witness right beside them.
The book consists of several chapters and all are equally interesting. The words are placed in a perfect manner which makes the reading more worthy.. i would definitely recommend the book .
