Maya hails from the enchanting Pink City, Jaipur. However, due to her job in an IT company located in Gurugram, she finds herself in the position of having to shift to Gurugram and live in a paying guest accommodation.


In this new company, Maya encounters Rahul Rana, her team leader, and senior. From the very first day of her training, Rahul is captivated by Maya's presence and finds himself falling in love with her. However, Rahul's world comes crashing down when Maya said that she has already a boyfriend.


Varun, being a good friend, explained to Rahul, “Dude, you're still naive when it comes to girls. When a girl says, 'I have a boyfriend' without even being asked, it means she doesn't want anyone to take advantage of her or get too close to her. It doesn't necessarily mean she actually has a boyfriend. She just wanted to create distance from everyone. That's all."


Despite the challenges, things seemed to be improving for Rahul and Maya. But everything took a tragic turn during their tour to Kasol, where Rahul was accompanied by his closest friends, Ravi, Aditya, and Varun. The group enjoyed indulging in substances like weed, vodka, beer, and liquor.


Tragedy struck during the trip, leaving everyone devastated. The incident left a profound impact on their lives. Maya, driven by her determination to unravel the truth, started chasing the shadows of the tragic case, leading her to confront a horrifying reality.

Huge respect and great appreciation to the author Mohan Bachhety for writing such a masterpiece of a book. Through the discussion of the story line, in the book were many surprises waiting page after page which made it super exciting. I personally don't like it as it destroys the author's effort of trying to weave a story and giving spoilers is never a great experience for me. However, “Shadow Chasing Shadow” by Mohan Bachhety is a captivating story that takes readers on a journey through the life of Maya, a young career woman from the vibrant city of Jaipur, pink city. Due to her job in an IT company based in Gurugram, she shifted herself to Gurugram. In this new company, Maya encounters Rahul Rana, her team leader and senior. From the very first day of his training, Rahul is charmed by Maya's presence and finds himself falling in love with her. In this 213-page novel, Author skillfully weaves together elements of mystery, romance, and self-discovery to create an engaging and thought-provoking narrative.

Author's writing style is both descriptive and evocative, painting vivid pictures of Jaipur's bustling streets and colorful culture. The author's attention to detail allows readers to immerse themselves in the setting, making it feel like they are right there alongside Maya as she navigates through the twists and turns of her journey. The character development in this book is another strength of this novel. Maya's transformation from a career-driven woman to someone who values personal connections and self-discovery is beautifully portrayed. The supporting characters also add depth and complexity to the story, each with their own unique motivations and secrets.

I would definitely recommend this book to everyone especially to those who love to read mystery stories. Grab the book, it won't let you to get bored at any point. This book is a page turner from beginning to end. Language is simple with a good vocabulary. Author has done a great job.

Shadow chasing Shadow by Mohan Bacchety is a short fictional story to pick up. The story follows Maya, an IT professional who shifted her location from Jaipur to Gurugram. She ended up in a PG. In the office, she met Rahul, her senior. It seemed that Rahul was impressed by Maya the moment he set his eyes on her. He wanted Maya badly. But, he learned that she was in a relationship already. Things took a turn when Rahul went on a trip to Kasol. Was Maya lying, or was she really in a relationship?

This story is very captivating and thrilling. I really liked the whole outline of the story and the design of the characters. The ending is also amazing. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
