This Song Goes On & On

3 chapters. 3 nights.

The unnamed protagonist has been having trouble falling asleep, so in order to escape the repetition of thoughts, on three of such long nights, he ends up making plans he usually avoids. Like going on an office trip in the forest, or on a space trip with friends, or just to a party on the other side of the city while the end of the world looms over.
Exploring anxiety, repetitions, non-linearity of thoughts and the desire to matter in a world where nothing matters, the chapters attempt to illustrate the relationship of a person with his mind and the world around him.

The song goes on & on and is nothing but a beautifully carved imaginative world where you will not be able to stop yourself from losing in. Well, we all imagine to some extent but some people create a unique imaginative world of theirs to escape from the harsh reality that is what the protagonist is up to.

An unnamed protagonist will take you on an extraordinary excursion into three different realms which are divided into three chapters out of which the last chapter covers the maximum part. The author brings some distinct concepts into the literary world through this story. The forthcoming technologies mentioned explain how the author has made the best use of his imagination.

I have read several debut books but this one was quite an experience. The writing is flawless with a beautiful amalgamation of words. If you are looking forward to becoming an author then you should surely pick this one up. I won't recommend this book to beginners as they might find it complicated.

This song is unique and beautiful in its way.

A cosmic journey where futuristic wonders and familiar challenges coexist. The narrative unfolds across three nights, featuring a planet with three moons, AI companions and other advanced tools.

The protagonist, a lonely soul grappling with heartbreak and social anxiety, guides us through three poignant nights.

While the narrative offers a refreshing plunge into the unknown, the protagonist's struggles became a stumbling block. I didn't quite resonate with the protagonist and his prolonged self-reflection occasionally felt dragged. Plus, there are moments where the story feels a bit rushed, making the flow seem abrupt at times.

Despite these reservations, the author excels in portraying a parallel world with individual and societal issues like loneliness, social anxiety, and communal violence and hatred.

This book is a good pick for readers who enjoy a mix of futuristic settings and real-world challenges. If you like stories that delve into emotions and societal issues in a unique way, give it a go.

SYNOPSIS
The book consists of three stories which are essentially musings or vague thoughts that an unnamed protagonist has.

The book is written in a very different format which honestly I found a little difficult to read initially. A few pages into it and then one can sail through it.

The book has a beautiful rawness to it. The random thoughts of a person who seemed anxious and confused came across very well.

Some parts were absolutely resonating to me. I could feel that my exact thoughts were put across in black and white. The book also has a philosophical touch to it.

I think a lot of young people in their late teens and early twenties will relate to the stories. Overall a good read !!

It is so difficult to explain the vibe you get from something. This book is something like that. The story is set somewhere way in the future where the people don't even know what a TV looks like. Reading it was some how, pleasing AND disturbing. One second, it feels new and the next second it feels something known, what's the accurate word for it- yes! Familiar. The last pages is where it gets really interesting. And author Sahab, you gave me anxiety in the last 20 pages. I was so immersed into the blue haired girl.(I WANT to be her) I remember finish reading this late at night and then I stared at the empty walls for 15 minutes straight, trying to gather my thoughts. Is that how you process your thoughts too? I felt like I was in your shoes!

Ps- I loved your song♡

I was not understanding what was happening when I started reading. In one minute the unnamed protagonist is in the forest in a search of light and in the next minutes he is in his office table. Bt then I understood sara khel imagination ka hai..
So with the protagonist I kept going through pages. This story is devided into three chapters . The three chapters will tell you the story of three different nights. One thing I want to say Author is very creative. May be my expectations were more 🥺or This book is not my type kind of book.

Bt I am appreciating the effort. I loved the scenario in the forest , the title of the book,the very attractive cover and I love the uniqueness of the story.

Three chapters, three nights ….

Set in the world of unseen future, an array of imaginations and complex simulations of human mind, this short novel will bamboozle you.

An unnamed protagonist in his own version of inception, is found at three distinct locations in three nights. Starts off in a dense forest one night and switching to his office desk, the non-linearity of human thoughts have been depicted with a plethora of creative thinking.

Took me a while to get hold of the contents and storyline, but this book will surely make you think twice or maybe thrice of what exactly is going on. This one’s for the curious minded who think outside of the box (literally).

First of all, I appreciate the effort the author has put up in writing. It's not easy to write a book worth impacting. I will be honest here. The manuscript needed a polishing...there are too many mistakes in between thus proofreading and editing was needed. Storyline seems abrupt too. The existential thought themeline is wonderful to be written and can be a bit complex too.
Nonetheless, Tanay don't stop here...keep on writing.
I wish notion press could atleast have paid attention to formatting and font. It impacts a lot in bringing a book together. I can associate the pain and trouble that a young author feels in this process of publishing.
