من تا حالا از ادبیات هند کتابی نخونده بودم یا اگه خونده بودم فکر کنم خیلی قبلا بوده و الان یادم نیست ولی این کتابو کلا رندم انتخاب کردم و باید بگم خیلی کتاب عجیبی بود برام. تقریبا کسی نخوندتش و ناشناخته ست، داستانشم یه داستان ساده ست و چیز خاصی نیست. ولی حرفهایی که بین شخصیتها رد و بدل میشه مخصوصا اون دوتا دوست اصلی داستان خیلی حرفهای عجیب و واقعی بود. متاسفانه من علامت گذاری نمیکنم کتابهارو و خیلی این عادت بدیه که دارم و الانم دو سه روز گذشته از زمانی که این کتابو تموم کردم و اصل جمله هارو یادم نیست ولی خیلی جاهاش واقعا تکونم داد.

This book is strange romantic fiction, which actually is not a love story at all. It's a love story in a background, with the actual content being the strife of an intelligent being - actually two intelligent beings. One is Mezz, the other one is Ayan. There are always two positions around stupidity - one is of the ring-bearer and the other is the audience. Mezz is the former and Ayan the latter. This novel is called anti-love because the protagonist decides not to chase the girl; he instead writes her love letters - which he never gives her. To be honest, this is a novel on perspectives. A must read.

نامه‌نوشتن یکی از راه‌های انتقال احساسات است. نویسنده برای بیان حقیقت احساسات و عواطفش به زبانی نیاز دارد که او را از سردی مکالمه روزمره دور کند و بتواند با آن خیالش را معنا کند و نامه همین زبان است. با نامه از زندگی ماشینی و شلوغ روزمره فاصله گرفته و گمشده وجودشان را پیدا می‌کنند. این احساس گمشده عشق، دلتنگی، دوری و تنهایی و چیزهای دیگری است که قرن‌ها نویسندگان در نامه‌شان بازگو کرده‌اند.

Shwetabh Gangwar has gained popularity in recent years with his youtube channel mensutra, which is a community of highly focussed, motivated titans. He has his own way of interpreting things in a logical as well as practical sense. The book revolves around the life of three people, Ayan, the lead character, His friend Mezz, and Sara, the girl Ayan admires. It's a platonic love story, where Ayan being a writer, has a simple lifestyle and keeps exploring the truths of life and keeps writing letters to his beloved.

The book did feel boring at times when the narrator goes deep into philosophies.
Overall the book does kindle the curiosity to understand life, love, and purpose of life and things like that.

Shwetabh sir is a great "life changer" for me. He has Manas to change my thoughts about the life. In this book he has reflected his perspective view about love and actually explained the human psychology a little bit. But I would recommend you to read it after you learn more about Shwetabh sir. Because if you are a person looking for a normal usual love story then this is not for you. And if you want to change your perspective view about the life this is one of the best book to read.

I really enjoyed it. beautiful story, ayan, mezz are two main characters. And they both have their flaws. I don't think this book is a love story at all. because Ayan never loved the girl (Sara), he was in love with ideal version of a woman. anyway read the book, it's interesting. It isn't complex and fun to reed.

از خوندن نامه‌ها واقعاً لذت بردم؛ انگار داشتم وارد ذهن و قلب نویسنده می‌شدم. هر نامه یه حس تازه داشت و پر بود از حرف‌های قشنگ و عمیق. چیزی که خیلی دوست داشتم این بود که کتاب فقط درباره‌ی عشق نبود، بلکه پر از نکته‌های ریز و آموزنده درباره‌ی زندگی بود. حس می‌کنم بعد از خوندنش هم دلم گرم شد هم یه چیزهایی یاد گرفتم✨

Made me feel pretty much the same emotions as Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

[Aditya Agarwal · Rating 5 out of 5]

The deepest, most moving, and philosophically rich novel that I have read. Its impact stayed with me for long. The movement of the characters, their psyche, their psychological make-up- it made me switch off from everything and just reflect. It is definitely not everyone's genre. But the book is something you will strongly relate to if you like deep & reclusive, armchair philosophy kind of content. Also, if you have ever been in love. Yes, that too.
