How can somebody avoid reading this awesome work of fiction.The story depicts the true epitome of romance,jaw dropping twists and turns , which amaze you & convince you at the same time to believe in the story.I am not an avid reader but I do read when I come to know about such unique stories.This book will possess you and not leave your mind until you finish it.I do not remember when did I feel so engrossed while reading any art of fiction in past.OH MY GOD.....I am totally into it.I strongly recommend this book to all the book lovers and also to people who do not like to read because this story is going to make you a complete book worm.We hear so many stories around us but there are very few stories which make you laugh,which make you cry,which make you feel passionate,which make you think.....all human emotions in one story and the author has described so beautifully,it all comes alive in a fraction of seconds when you read this book.

Immaculately conceived and brilliantly written.Splendid job done by the author.Would eagerly wait for his next masterpiece & till then I will read "Kabira not until I die" again and again.

The book is available on Amazon,Go and grab your copy today.

Kabira... Not until I die... is really a good book to read liked the story felt like a Bollywood movie. I would have given 4 stars reason for this is: There are many sequences where the author has left the reader to assume this would have happened. There are also some situation where noosh and kabir are talking about escaping from hotel to ministry from a hidden passage way which was not told before but referred as kabir had used it before. Looking at the above points don't think otherwise. It's totally a entertainer and really good book...

A beautiful story that brings out the devastating effects of the war. Author has penned it so well that I was lost reading this and only after I finished reading it, I came back to my senses.

The story is about how a couple who fell in love during their education in another country comes together in the end.

Kabir was born in India but had been to Russia for his higher studies where he meets his Professor on who he placed much of his trust. He meets his girl Noor over there and starts liking her. As the fate decides the destiny, they had to be separated when Noor had to return to Afghanistan. Sensing Kabir's love for Noor, Professor spins a web and in the context of helping the country in its development, sends Kabir to join a American Press but to work indirectly for Russians.

Kabir did not sense anything wrong in the beginning but when things starts going wrong, he starts suspecting his Professor and at one time, he comes to know about the fact that his Professor was the master in disguise and has doned different roles under different names and unfortunately one of the top officials in US Embassy also whom he trusted the most had been working on hands with the Professor.

Kabir and Noosh gets married and Noosh becomes pregnant when Soviet Army starts attacking Afghanistan. Noosh had to go alone to Mumbai where Kabir's parents were residing. I guess I have revealed almost half of the plot here. For the remaining plot which is much more interesting than this can be read by buying the book online. This excellent book is available on Flipkart and also on Amazon

In the current trend of Indian Writing where mostly we have college romance and lust, this novel proves contrary in ways more than one.

For instance, it has a intriguing plot. Yes many a novel these days lack this.
Secondly, apart from being primarily a love story, it has elements of war and espionage, two important genre of stories.
The novel might have a few loopholes and a predictable ending, one can overlook this considering the fact that it's a debut novel. One can freely have good expectations from Parashar.

Few "words" for Someone who has given "Life" to words:-
I've never experienced the beauty where-
Words seem silken love,
Words seem to rise in hope,
Words unfold mysteries,
Words took me for a ride,
Words could run and hide,
Words could say it all!
I am incompetent and unfair I guess,
Coz my words could never say it all...
How your words could sway in my mind and brought mirth to my soul..!
The flashes of Spielberg sorta scenes, hold your breath in awe!!
And for the ones who are yet to read it.......Indeed, an unpredictable journey awaits you in this book!
Kudos to India's new Star!

A crazy read.
Lot of suspense and twists.
A wonderful ending.
A combination of romance and war. A unique title. The style of narration is very interesting.
The letters are printed very small and it becomes difficult to concentrate on reading.
A Must read book for all book lovers.
Thanks for author signed giveaway copy.

Horrible English. Bad dialogues. I didn't have the stomach to go beyond page 6.

[Mohit Ajwani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book. Romance is good. But the novel has too much details about the troops role in Afghanistan. That could be less and writer could have focused more on the couple. But nevertheless, it is a good book and it will make you cry when the climax is revealed and you can feel the heat of emotions.
