The Indigo Sun
Home - neither a place you live in, nor a place you arrive at. It’s where you belong, and ultimately return - a return to the beginning, a return within.
The Indigo Sun is an enchanting tale set amidst the deserts of Rajasthan where Maya, a young NRI woman is led on a transformative journey by a young boy Ananda; a mystic gypsy woman named Leela; and Veer, a well-respected, socially driven entrepreneur from London. Together, they embark on a colourful odyssey encompassing culture, heritage, simplicity and celebration of life.
In this unknown and distant land surrounded by strangers, Maya’s past, present, and future come together as do her body, mind and soul. She discovers another meaning of life, forms incredible bonds, meets the man of her dreams, and finally comes face-to-face with her truth—the indigo sun, a treasure that lay buried in her heart all along.
She is finally home.

You might have heard about how people undertake solo journeys to find their true self, the true purpose of life. I've never been on a solo trip because I for one know my purpose (a little bit). Therefore, I have read a lot of books about such people and the recent one would be The Indigo Sun by Rupa Bhullar.
The story of The Indigo Sun revolves around Maya, a young NRI woman traveling to Rajasthan to find her true self, the purpose, her home. She is led on this transformative journey by Ananda, son of the guard of the resort where she is living. Along with Maya and Ananda, a mystic gypsy woman named Leela and Veer, a well-respected, socially driven entrepreneur from London also give her guidance on this transformative journey.
The journey is a colorful odyssey of culture, heritage, simplicity, and celebration of life. In this unknown and distant land surrounded by strangers, Maya's past, present, and future come together. Her body, mind, and soul are in the perfect symphony, and she discovers another meaning of life, of which she was devoured for a long time.
Now, when I talk about the book, to be honest, it was not my cup of tea. Rupa Bhullar has written a book that is good, but then too dreamy and unrealistic for me and for other readers as well. The storyline was the same old storyline that we come across in Chetan Bhagat and Durjoy Dutta's books, and I have risen above them a long time back.
Another very disturbing trend that I am noticing with writers is that they do not write stories anymore, they have started writing screenplays. Every single chapter of The indigo Sun was like going through the typical Bollywood romantic masala movie and I was able to guess the climax of the 50th page only! To be honest, it was a very disappointing book. It had potential to be a great book but then turned out to be a bore.
Last but not the least, read at your own risk.

This, again, is a book that has got fabulous reviews but didn't work for me.
This book is about Maya who from the very beginning looks lost. She has returned to her home town and meets different people like Ananda (a little boy) and Leela (a gypsy woman) and many others who tell her good, insightful things and her journey seems like a journey of self-discovery & transformation.
The plot is simple (we have heard a lot of stories where the protagonists travel and explore and learn), but interesting. The book cover is gorgeous! Descriptions are good, create nice imagery.
Why it didn’t work for me? First of all, it’s very slow. I like descriptions but it has to take the story forward. Here Maya is so disturbed. She gazes at the beauty of nature, trying to find some solace but the readers don’t get to know anything about her or her life until 40-50 pages.
Dialogues are preachy and tiring, sometimes 1-1.5 pages long, sometimes without any breather. I felt the story was not going anywhere. Basically, the book seems like a preachy account of self-realization.
It didn’t work for me but if you like descriptive, inspirational kind of stuff, you will like this book.

The indigo sun is the debut novel of Rupa Bhullar and she has done a fantastic job. She has described some deep thoughts about life in the book which comes in our mind every now and then. Sometimes when we have everything and still we feel empty from inside and Somehow tried to fill that void. This is all described in the book in the form of a story of a girl named Maya who comes to India in search of life and happiness.
Does she get what she wanted? What is happiness actually? Why do we feel empty even though we have everything?
The answers to all these questions are in this book. One question leads to another and one journey's end becomes starting of another journey until Maya finds what she actually wanted in life.
The plot of the story is set in the beautiful cities of Jaipur and Udaipur. The author has described each detail of the city in a very descriptive manner. I liked how she has described everything from Auto driver to a glass full of buttermilk and it was not a bit boring.
Coming to the cover, I will give this book's cover 5 stars because it is re attractive and beautiful. One can buy this book by its cover. The language author used and the narration is good. This is not a one time read. This book requires a lot of patience and time to read and understand the meaning between its lines. If you are a beginner I will not suggest this book to you as might get bored but for others, it is a really good book.
I'm eagerly waiting to read some other works of the author.

No one can run from his own story. It is important to have a purpose in life to live and just being alive is not living. The Indigo Sun is a story of finding a person long lost. A person part of you but no longer you. It is about being happy and celebrating life in every moment. The story is about discovering a meaning of life.
It is a slow read and little dramatic but life is no less than a drama and it is a life story of Maya. The best part of the story is it reflects life beautifully and will make you think. The storytelling is simple and touches the heart. I feel moved the way characters are designed and the story flows throughout the length of the book. I do not find any loose ends and is crafted intensely.
For those who love life and believes in living it the fullest. Join Maya on her journey to home, who knows you will also get your answers on the way.
The treasure of true happiness lies within you.

It takes some time (pages) getting used to - or rather into - the storytelling and writing. The words are sometimes quite wonderfully and enjoyable to read. It contains meditation-lectures and philosophical teachings, which are interesting to read before going to bed, so a chapter a day worked wonderfully, and I got some things to think about.
However, the story of Maya herself is superficial and hilarious in many ways. She appears pretentious at times when finding so much glory in being on the not so fortunate side of Indian life, without luxury and riches holding you down and making you miserable. I get what she's trying to say, I just feel it is said and pointed to a tad too often.
Overall, it was a nice read, but story- and romance-wise it was a bit bland and predictable, with characters lacking some depths. The writing was sometimes not entirely coherent with a weird mixture of perspective switching and monologues (in a conversation, however) going on for pages.

It's an amazing book with a very catchy title. The language is very laconic. The author thinking is very unique. It also contains some interesting instances. Love this book a lot.

What A Book! Hats off to the author for this gem. This book glued me with the story from the very first page. Looking forward for more books by the same author.

There was a time when people used to have no crisis at all (apparently), then came mid-life crisis and suddenly today we see people having a quarter-life crisis. The crisis seems to be getting younger by the day, and the way it’s proceeding, kids are gonna have it soon enough! But here what am concerned about is the crisis that engulfs millennials, I’ve recently learnt this word and got to know that am one of them too, the group of people who have moved away from their roots (read native land/birthplace/parents) physically, but are not ready to give up on them completely yet to embrace their present surroundings wholeheartedly. There is always something that makes them look back despite having everything that is needed for a good and comfortable, or at times a lavish lifestyle.
The Indigo Sun by Rupa Bhullar is one such tale of a young woman, lost in her life, trying to find out the purpose which can drive her further with the same zeal that she used to have earlier. It follows her journey from her upscale New York apartment to the dunes of Rajasthan, a journey which she undertakes in hopes of reviving the charm she has lost.
Maya is devastated, she has lost all of her will to live. Finding no way out of the misery that has surrounded her, she lands in Jaipur, her birthplace, and checks in at a super comfortable and lavish hotel (read resort), all the way from New York City. while she contemplates her life and decisions, she comes across a young boy, Ananda, and finds a companion in him. Through him, she comes in touch with Hukum via e-mails, a mysterious person who advises her on her deepest thoughts which she has laid bare in front of him. With the help of Ananda and Hukum, Maya starts looking at life with a positive perspective again. Roaming the streets of Jaipur and Pushkar Fair with Ananda gives her the little joys she has been missing since long. During one of her night stays at Ananda’s place, Maya finds herself drawn towards a melodious voice in the dead of the night. Following it, she finds herself in the company of Leela, a mystic gypsy woman who gives her six beads, which are to be strung whenever she finds her truth, keeping the seventh with herself, to be given when all the six others are stringed together. Also, she tells her to follow her heart to find whatever she is looking for. What began as a dubious and impulsive journey, now becomes Maya’s life’s motivation to find the truth that would help her be happy and peaceful. In her path, she comes across various people who inadvertently help her finally reach that seventh bead, her destination.
When I picked this book up, I was a bit skeptic of it, the kind of book it promised to be in as per the blurb was a mix of life-changing events cum romance cum some adventure. By the time I was halfway into it, I realized it was nothing of that sort but philosophy wrapped in fiction, to appease readers like me, who otherwise wouldn’t dare pick up a philosophical book. The language is lucid, no hints of the author trying to overdo with English despite her being an NRI. As far as the plot goes, the author completely draws the point she wants to without losing control of it even for a single moment. The story remains true to its plot, and characters, Maya’s search for her life’s purpose and happiness. It’s a super slow and dramatic read.
What I found interesting was the fact that despite being a fiction, the story spoke volumes on philosophy, in fact, it was a lot of philosophy, about life and true happiness, though it got a little too much for me, and I had to really think about going further. All the characters Maya meets in her journey seem to give her life’s wisdom, be it little Ananda, his mother, random taxi drivers, her father’s aunt, her friend’s grandmother and every other person she encounters, phew! A lot of wisdom floating around, huh? Also, the way in which every single character shares it with her is exactly same, it starts from let me tell you a story/an incident and ends with Maya being in their awe form imparting her such priceless words. Barring a few, almost all of the characters in the story were super duper rich, like royal kinda rich. This, I found to be off because the kind of thinking they had, like happiness is the most important kinda stuff, wouldn’t have been possible if they weren’t as much well to do given the grim reality of today, money. I was all along thinking that how the story would have shaped up, had Maya not been in a position to give up her comfortable and successful life in New York and spend exorbitant amounts on a vacation cum soul-searching journey. Would she then have run away the way she did, leaving her mother behind to fend for herself? What would have happened if she had to stay and earn to run the house and manage her miseries along? The thing about money, even the mention of it is missing. I realize it’s fiction, and the plot has been made to order, but a little bit of reality wouldn’t have hurt.
Nobody, ever, has been able to comprehend life, and no one will ever be able to do it. Not you, not me, not our elders or their ancestors. For me, finding the purpose of my life is not so important, or I must say that not at all important. What matters to me is that I live each day and every moment with such zeal that along with making my life happy, I rub it off on the people around me as well.
Life comes with its own mixed bag of joys and sorrows, each, without the other is baseless and useless. When we come across that point in our lives where we find ourselves helpless and abandoned, it is then that we realize that it is totally up to us to look at the problems with either a positive or a negative perspective. It’s easier said than done, agreed, but the least we can do to get over is try, can’t we? And haven’t we all?

This is a book written by someone who watches too many Bollywood movies...with an eye of turning it into a feel-good Bollywood movie perhaps. Exotic locations, rich handsome men, colourful scene, hell, there were even people breaking out in song and dance. A lonely westernised Indian girl went back to India and every single person she met there were sages, including an 11 year old boy. All the men she met were billionaire philanthropic hunks, who of course fancy her. All of heaven and all of the world aligned to appease this one person. A shallow story interspersed with borrowed quotations from Einstein to Rumi to Deepakian 'woo woo'. The schoolgirl proses make me cringe at times. The saving grace however, are the nuggets of wisdom one may find useful. Maybe a good read... for a dreamy, narcissistic teenage girl looking for a fairy tale escape.

The Indigo Sun has gotten very good reviews, but it didn't work for me on multiple levels.
The main protagonist, Maya, is on her journey of self-discovery. She has supposedly gone through a lot, but I just couldn't connect with her troubles or why she's in her state in the first place. This aspect hasn't been described in detail so I don't empathize with her.
Secondly. it seems like everyone, all the characters, have all the knowledge in the world. Everyone goes on and on and delivers 'gyaan' and advice at the drop of a hat! All the dialogues are so preachy and long, conversation is only around giving advice, life lessons, discovering truths, etc. If someone meets Maya even for the first time, the advice sharing session starts almost immediately.
Though the novel has its heart in the right place, I felt it too good to be true and could not relate to the characters or the main plot. The ending was also predictable and everything just seemed to magically fall into place. Other readers may be able to relate to it better.

Maya appears to have everything; beauty, a successful business in the US and a handsome partner, but she feels unhappy and unfulfilled. So she sets off to Rajasthan to reconnect to her roots and her true self.
This book was not for me at all. It feels like this has been written in the hopes of it being made into a Bollywood movie and feels superficial and cheesy. Maya finds people to give her philosophical advice at every turn (and usually within moments of meeting one another for the first time), and mostly from a young boy who talks like a middle aged man.
She of course has men falling in love with her and after speaking with someone once and then eyeballing him a second time is “so in love”. 😬🙄 Yeah, not for me. Perhaps more of interest to someone who enjoys either Bollywood movies or fairytale type stories. ⭐️/5.

it was an amazing book by rupa bhullar , a perfect write up for those who have lost tracks of their roots and probably wants to relive and rejuvenate themselves by coming back to their families ,related to story we can have lots of examples like people leave their native place as well as their native land and parents just to start a new life and not considering that they are leaving their friends, families and their relatives behind. i loved this book by her and expect more from her in the future.
January 9, 2018
rupa has done a great job by writing this or by composing this wonderful artistic tale of an nri women who lives abroad and is also based and settled there by doing jobs and getting employed there with a nice amount of pay but soon after a few years she realises that she is forgetting and has been parted with her roots so eventually she decides to hop on a plane or in the next flight only to go back to her native place and native village which is based in udaipur rajasthan that is the place where she belongs so it is a wonderful story one must read this in their life time
January 9, 2018
it was an amazing book by rupa for what she thought was the glorifying life while she was also missing so much on the other hand of her life her parents,family,friends and obviously her native lands and village i find this story very touchy and breath taking on both the side of the hands one should always remember what they were or from where have they come from like it happens in todays world we often forget these certain things which seems are small but play a very vital and huge role in our lives. a must read.
January 10, 2018

Lovely Book ! The author has described the scenes beautifully in a lot of detail, and the research put in is very visible. She has even taken us on a tour of Rajasthan in the book and I could visualize myself in Rajasthan moving along with Maya. Some social aspects like female literacy, female equality and camel trade have also been described in the book.
The message that goes in is deep, it really touched my soul. Though the genre has been classified as fiction, it has a lot of philosophy in it. A feel good book which makes the reader introspect.

The Indigo Sun by Rupa Bhullar is a contemporary fiction. The story revolves around a girl Maya who was an NRI and who was on a tour at Rajasthan and was accompanied by Ananda and her relatives in the journey. But the moment she sets her first step in India she feels a strong connection with India. This book is a perfect thriller and has been narrated in such a beautiful way that the reader can visualize Rajasthan and the reader would feel as if she is the part of the scene. Overall, it was a wonderful read.
November 9, 2021
After having given Rupa Bhullar’s When the Wildflowers Bloom a try, it was difficult to come to grips with the fact that Indigo Sun is her work too. Indigo Sun was published in 2018. It describes the transformative journey of a young NRI, Maya. Set in Rajasthan, the story explores the pathos of life, the beautiful odyssey of a few strangers who become friends for life and the eventual jaunt towards finding a purpose.

this book tells us about an indian nri women who is attached so much to the indian culture and its indian diversity which actually shows and tells us that what actually goes around always and always comes back around ,so this book is specially for the people who are really really attached and attracted towards their culture. and miss them when they leave their native place or places and also sometimes their native lands.
January 6, 2018
it was a good book by our rupa she has done a wonderful job by writing this story of an nri women who basically lives abroad for job and employment stuff but i think she could have written a bit better than this as far as her capacity or even her capability is concerned by writing the books i would rather have expected a bit more from her than this like a bit if fictional stuff without no fictional stuff
January 9, 2018
i personally loved this particular book which is very fascinating specially being in the professional background and profession it is very difficult for a person to concentrate on our families and friends we cant enjoy anything with them and cant even attend functions with them it feels really really sad sometimes that it is very hard for us to give time to our own loved ones or near and dear ones so this story is very touching to me.
January 10, 2018

It takes a lot for a book to keep me hooked, and with Indigo Sun I could not put it down during the first few chapters! It was too unrealistic yes, but yet it transports you into this dream like world. In the world of today, when do we ever get to day dream?
I loved the philosophy and quotes she’s mentioned in the book.
Parts of it became slow and the end was too abrupt. But all in all, I would definitely recommend this as an easy read!

Who could have thought that a complex convoluted series of adventures of a girl can be written in such a simple and elegant way? I could actually imagine the process through which the lead role of this story goes through her life. Though she wants answers to some really difficult and non-answerable questions, the journey portrayed by the author is awesome. I highly recommend this book.

Rupa has done a nice and good work by making people realise that it is so difficult and elusive for people to leave their parents everyone including their family and their friends so this write up and story deals with the same attachment to their native while she is an nri doing a job with a hefty good pay but soon decides to quit everything and go to her village in rajasthan.

Rupa has done a wonderful job by making an effect in the migration section in the world and making a small change in the mindsets of people who wish to work abroad and leave their own places and countries just because they think they have a god opportunity abroad without thinking about their roots and the people they are leaving behind just for the sake of earning a good pay of money
