Book Description
It was 9th of February 2014, in Maa Kalkaa’s temple, when Zindagi asked me to write our story in the form of a novel. I was utterly astounded to see such a wish coming from her, but such was my love for her that it didn’t take me even seconds to say a yes. When I wanted to prove my love to her by writing this novel, nowhere in my mind had I thought that my love story would take such a tragic turn. The Heart Transplant of my Girlfriend is just a small attempt to fulfil the promise that I made to the most beautiful girl of my life. “Sometimes, promises are also kept in people’s absence.”

One Day

Pages : 386
Book Description
“One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years”—Slate On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling. One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as “ordinary” when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.
