"Important encounters are planned by destiny, God and our souls long before the bodies see each other." The protagonists are Sagar and Bhakti and the book is a love story between the two. Sagar was born in a middle class family and hence he had an average upbringing. So, it's obvious that he needed to be careful with the neighborhood aunty. He wanted to be like his friend Raju, who didn't really care about the neighbours and their comments. However, destiny made him meet the girl Bhakti. Ever since then, his life changed. This is a book that is to be picked in the month of Feb, since it's Valentine's day month.
