This is a multifaceted story about a young man in search of himself and his faith. The story is well written. The story kept my interest and the pace moved right along. The story is interesting and well worth the read. I chose to read the book because the author is a Goodreads’ author and I want to expand my reading experience.

I read this as an e-book downloaded from Amazon to my Kindle app for my iPad. The book is 351 pages and publishing date is July 4, 2019.

I'm in process of writing a detailed synopsis. However for now this is the mini synopsis.

MINI SYNOPSIS

The story enfolds an extravagant journey of a young guy; who is unique in ways of his perceptions towards the reality of life. He is an extraordinaire in focusing on the important rather than following the customary routine of spending this life most of the youngsters are. He strongly believes in helping the human race through every or any efforts practicable and henceforth approaches each of his acquaintances with positive and effectual counseling. He developed this capability because of unimaginable credence towards Faith on God.

Along the four year expedition in the obligatory engineering university, he comes across certain individuals who act as his companion. There were two girls and two boys; each traveling to reach the same destination as of the guy. They were each a puzzle with one same lost piece, only it’s shape was a bit different:

First one had faith lost in the shape of relations – The Other Mate
Another guy had lost faith in regard of the Society – The Philosopher
A girl refusing to accept faith in God – Hazel
The last friend was struggling for faith in herself – Curly

During this extremely unexpected journey he figures out that all of them were on a similar path searching for a lost attribute but has in one way or another lost complete hope about it. The five of them then accompany each other through the ride and find answers to certain myths about this life; existence of God, love, fate, freedom of choice and most specifically faith.
Along with these physical and moral convoys he had some insight partners as well; passion for good, the instinctive demons, firm beliefs, past regrets and some doubts. But the superseding trait of his personality i.e. faith sustained a balance amongst all.

The interest in the novel is timely increased as we observe how nature ravels certain mysteries and its amazing magical methods. The guy was very fond of writing therefore also conveys his understanding through a story written about a boy who voyages in the jungle for yet another search of faith and encounters multiple signs to claim a firm credit upon all his quests. Another marvel of his writings delivers his pure affection and immense respect for the love his life; a girl who beautifully surrenders for complete submission towards him. But unfortunate events occur in their life due to inappropriate obedience of the girl to her parent’s decision. However the guy’s faith upon God and his ways of bending the nature has by all means won upon various difficulties.

This book is the story of very ordinary people in a stereotypical society trying to explore the extra-ordinary. Faith is a descriptive, relative and a highly impressive term when it comes to the essential representation of necessities of life. However, just like all other intangible things it requires quite an effort to build a strong belief over it. To understand it, all one has to do is to close his eyes and look closely.

Philosophical Laughs


The author dedicates this book to a girl who is half of his life, gave him life and taught him a lot (everything?!) about love! Moreover, she also happens to be the muse of his writing...

Being myself a girl (a senior one, but still 😜...), the moment I absorbed these words, my interest was trapped and my expectations became mountain climbers!...

A book about happiness, inspired by a girl capable of inflicting (not the fitting word, but I thoroughly like it😜) so much love and life to another being of her own kind, should be, as a corollary of some simple premises, a reliable source of happiness to its readers. However, while having these rambling thoughts, I was still in the Dedication Page, which meant I could have been... eventually... utterly wrong, but... fortunately for me and the author (who’ll be entitled to a 4 glowing stars review), I was spot on!...

In a Nutshell, this is a humorous book about Real Happiness in a journey of faith, love and some stupidity, which means the title says it all 😉😊
Read it if you’re in the mood for a good bunch of philosophical laughs 🤩🤩🤪

I know I should be gone by now, but I can’t do it before showing off the famous Dedication Page that thoroughly hooked my heart:

Dedicated To...

A girl... Who gave me life
A girl… Who is half of my life
A girl… Who taught me “what is love” in life
A girl… Whom I gave life
A girl… Who gave life to this novel

And finally…
A man… Who spent his entire life just to make my life better…

Now, tell me... didn’t this hook your heart , too?!... 😊😉

The author added me out-of-the-blue several days ago, and I decided to check out this book of his he’s advertising. It takes no more than a glance to see that he’s harassing people to give him 5 star reviews through emotional manipulation - and then, almost blatantly and without shame, making new accounts to give himself five star reviews. Read the replies of the one star reviews, and then scroll through the five star ones. It’s all there. Absolutely no integrity. I will not be reading this book.

This is an amazing read. The whole story is depicted intelligently.The story gives us the insight view of today's society, the problems which ruined our society these days, and their possible solution to overcome these problems with beautiful and worthy tips and advices.A few of them are quoted below which I like the most.

This is how happiness is defined in this book:

“I guess any happiness that keeps you happy and relax and calm by heart is real happiness.Any act that makes your heart happy and gives joy to it is the lasting one. No hard feelings, no regrets, no what ifs.Just peace. When people get real happiness they laugh while being chained.They laugh at the prison cells.The laugh while being tortured. Because this inner satisfaction is more than anything in the world and they know the importance of it more than any one.”


At one place, the writer described purity, friendship and relationship as:

“Purity means true love. Friendship means always available.This relationship means the only person you will call on a rainy day.”


Perfect healer:

“Time is not a healer, God is, let the God make the scenarios.”

A worderful read for those who are in search of true faith. I will highly recommend it to all those who wants to know the truth and makes their life truely amazing.

The Real Happiness: "Now he knew, he observed that human body is continuously deteriorating. If we don’t die then one day we will be mourning and shouting like this deer and no one will be able to solve our pain, no medics no love, nothing will be curable enough."

This book is entitled with the most appropriate title, today when everything is so broadly virtual, someone stands to talk about the real, highly possible and most peer aspect of our existence. Starting from the benchmark of faith, towards essential support systems generally called friends or family and finally ceasing upon love; the manuscript is phenomenal. Written in a very simple and humble manner, the reader finds himself being curiously attracted towards this piece of art.

The most pleasing part of the book is that it shows one how holding on to one vital loop can engage you with the good and detach you from the un-necessary. It shows how one can stand to face what is eternally important and real in our lives and simultaneously how to deal with things that are unpleasantly available for us.
The book to me, is a small bag full of miniatures mysteries I would like to unravel and explore with smiles. It actually turned out to be a story of some stupidity and loads of faith upon the invincible.

The craft withheld in the words of this piece is simple yet extraordinary. It has a versatile nature where; the primary, secondary and virtual realities of life integrate in a perfect blend. Also, it depicts the true meaning of how lives are spent; gathering along the concepts and values of our precious ones and staying focused upon ours. The first impression of the book in one word will be 'passionate.'

It starts as a person starts narrating his own life his mood and attitude. Then the story shares some of his mates. Each character is very unique and in a quest of something. But unlike many of the novels, ending is the best part.

I think it is the best novel I read after many months.

The line; to understand it, all one has to do is to close his eyes and look closely, was so appealing in the synopsis that I couldn’t stop myself from reading the book.

The book crafts a very creative series of events explaining the values of an individual’s life. This person holds an exceptional perspective towards the stereotypical societal norms. Another different thing to notice in the book is that, for someone being completely constrained with the usual it seems quite impossible to be unique.

Hence, the same values are prescribed and integrated into the same storyline through an alternative description.

Lastly, the concept of love, friendship and one’s beliefs are profoundly narrated. Fabulous turn of events and beautiful ending. Happy reading to you all.

Once in a while there comes a book which has all the qualities to bound one to keep turning the pages, and this is just one of those. The content is so interesting that it keeps you going on, exploring the distinct nature of reality and the life around. The simple and polite writing in the book is the major point of attraction here.

I came across this book through a recommendation from a friend, and I’m extremely thankful for this gesture. I read the book all at once, I must say it had me hypnotized to the core.
It is an edgy exploration of faith and true love. The author has phrased some very pure feelings into words for this script. A very unique factor in the book is that the characters are presented very strongly in their roles even though they aren’t given any name. It is quite interesting how anonymity is used to explain certain things here.
The next key element is the integration of another story enduring somewhere else with a completely different style yet entirely cohesive with the afore stated account. The relation created amongst each section deserves quite a lot of praise.
The design of the book is intriguing as it withholds the essence of true love, the charm of aspiring friendships and most importantly the firm standing upon one’s own intuitive beliefs. It seems to be a different book, focusing on morally valued incentives rather than the customary. While reading the book, I found true happiness and a lot of peace; knowing how it ended.
My favorite quote from the book would definitely be: Yes, the doings of nature are slow but well-timed, prayers with no bad for anyone in it and prayers spoken out of the depth of the heart are always heard but they are not usually fulfilled the way you want but in the best of the best ways.
If words may be something which bring peace to you, this book is a must read.

The narrator is a young boy expediting through multiple situations in life. And along his journey he meets some potential mates. The storyline of the book produces an impression of how faith eventually delivers the best to you. It is a healthy, pleasurable and captivating read.

The most remarkable part of the book (as extracted by me) maybe concluded as;

• what comes forth may not be something happy for us but how one deals with it is the key to attaining true happiness

• miracles happen, but only if you believe

• Purity is true love

• no feeling in the world has boundaries, but the circumference that we create insight of us, is what brings us honor

• and sometimes one has to go through the worst, in order to get to the best

For me, it was a staying in the couch with a cup of coffee, an all-nighter kinda novel. I would like to pay tremendous gratitude to the author for adorning our time with his beautiful work.

To every writer, their book is their child that they give birth to after months and years of hardwork. This book is no different. Criticisms aside, every writer deserves praise for working hard.

This book is a thoughtful product of years of observation, a wonderful read for readers looking for something new. It is a book in search of truth and thus it is for readers who are in search for truth.

Happy Reading to everyone.

They removed my rant because I said not nice things about the author who lies and cheats to get the rating he does on this book. Not to mention plays emotional games and bullies people into reading his book. Heh. Apparently we’re not allowed to warn other readers about authors on goodreads behaving in unethical manners. Go figure.

in this world where faith is a myth, land God is lost, a person with entirely different assumptions was forced to into a mismanaged crowd to live for four years.

Within the bunch of beings, he found people with almost similar journey. Faith was his journey and every journey has companions, like passion, believes, doubts, regrets, demons and god. But this time he found some other mates too.

A lost faith in relationships (other mate)
A lost faith in God (hazel)
A lost faith in society (philosopher)
A lost faith in self (curly)

Like every companion there were various reasons to be on the journey. But their destination was the same. So they explored some of the biggest myths of the world, like love, fate, choice and faith.

This book is the story of very ordinary people of the society, with very extraordinary questions to explore. To understand this book, all you have to do is close your eyes and look closely.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I read alot of novels, and i felt that the pure love and romance is now almost gone. It is replaced with just sex, nudity and vulgarity. These can be the attraction factors but they are kind of easy attraction. The true art is to attract the readers without them to your novels by they way you write, by the characters you create. I just want to do that.


How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Being the managing Director of my firm i meet a lot of people (willingly or unwillingly) every day. A part of some of them helped me create my characters. 🙂

Book Sample
I started writing my diary when I reached my home, I mean my room.

Simplicity is the best.
Simplest idea has the deepest roots in mind.
Simplest personality is the most adorable.
Simplest solution is appealing.
Simplest painting is eye catching.
Simplest poem is the most remembered.
Simplest novel is the best seller.
So.
I was not just fascinated by the idea of having most beautiful person with me.
Or.
Long hairs.
Beautiful eyes.
Smiles like shining stars.
Skin like silk.
They all, most of the time, come with serious complexities only a person facing them can understand.
I am simple.
And I simply love the idea.
That a person.
She.
Simply loves me.
That’s the best thing about her.
Brown hair, long by the way, very very long frankly.
Big eyes, very big indeed and too beautiful I must say.
Soft personality, so fragile and tender.
They all are side lines.
She loves me. That’s the simplest and most beautiful thought of her I have
She loves me.
I’ve seen that in her eyes, heard it in her voice, observed it in her goose bumps and adored it in her smiles. When she holds my hand, every inch of her soul shouts to me that she loves me.
I love you.

My pen stopped like it’s the final sentence of my life, like it’s the best line I have ever written.
So no need to write any more, at least not on this topic.
So I switched off the lamp.
Closed the diary.
