NUMI; The Guarded Loop

Rate this book
"NUMI The Guarded Loop" takes us through the mystic, beautiful and intriguing journey of Nuha, a sensitive young girl. She has already hit the quintessential milestones of life, yet continues to look for the oasis, searching within her soulful realms for vistas unknown. Life is seldom all about the crust. It is an inexplicable amalgamation of memories, insights and the miniature droplets of self-realization we conjure on the way. The transcendence she experiences through her journey flips her back to the revered but concealed moments from lives gone by; she morphs from a jovial youngster to an enlightened soul, having inculcated the art of being in sync with the supreme Creator. Her trysts with the mystical lead her to making soul-stirring revelations. Discover how the protagonist’s life takes a 360 degree turn when she meets someone with whom she had spent 7200 life times? Experience how the experiences of her previous lifetimes imprint and control her present? Will Nuha be able to complete the puzzle of her deep-felt connection with the stranger?

I have come across only a handful of books which leaves me with a longlasting impression after reading. Numi is one of them. This book is unique in its own unique way. I have seen many reviews on this book and always impressed by its gorgeous cover whenever I saw. When I finally get my hands on this book, the first thing which mesmerized me is its blurb. This book belongs to the genre which is rarely touched and one can really feel its pristine nature once you begin to absorb the story.

The plot revolves around Nuha, who is an uncommon protagonist. The weirdness which one can feel in the initial stages of her introduction will gradually fade away once the story progressed. Nuha is a middle-aged married woman but she always feels a void deeply inside her. One day she meets a guy who eventually introduced her to a mentor of spiritual healing. In an attempt to explore herself through spirituality, she finds herself deeply attached to her mentor, Minha. She is very eager to find out her strange, deep and soulful connection with Minha. She constantly connects herself with her past through the meditation. She later finds out that she had spent 7200 lives with Minha. The adventurous and mystic spiritual journey of Nuha starts here. The element of suspense is aligned perfectly in the plot without losing the true essence of the storyline.

The story has many surprising twists and in a way, I can say that these twists are leading the story forward. The title is uncommon and it is enough to generate curiosity. The moment when the title makes sense, precious. This is not a story which one can easily skim through. You have to really involve in the process of reading. You have to be someone who walks beside the characters to capture the story. This book indeed gave me a new experience in reading.

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a Kindle copy of the book for review. **

** Thanks to #Literoma for giving me the opportunity for reviewing the book. **

Numi is Nupur's fourth novel and is a must read for avid readers like me. Not many books have been authored in this genre yet by Indian authors and hence it has the potential to make it big.

Numi is a short and crisp quick read type novel where one gets introduced to a non to familiar protagonist named Nuha and her healer mentor Minha. The names may sound little confusing, but take my words the confusion is the charm of this pocket thin book.

Nuha, a young girl, takes you through the journey of one soul to another, in fact it is the personification of our spirit. The book presents multiple turns and twists, changing eyes of vision at times, mostly in the later half of the storyline. The build up was little slow in my opinion and was little ungripping. But it gears to top as we keep approaching the end where different shades of Nuha get exposed to readers.

Cover could have been more captivating as the contents had lot of scope for artist's imagination. I will definitely wait to read Nupur's next book.

Overall, I would like to rate the book as 4*/5*.

Book evaluation:

The posts by author have intrigued my interest in book a while before the book released. There was no way I was to miss this one. I must say I expected a mystic, hypnotized book cover, however, the current one isn’t quite there. When you start reading the book, the words and sentence formations fall a bit on heavier side. You will get used to it post the first chapter or two and enjoy the story plot. The narrations, character descriptions, and the story build make it a quite a good read. NUha + MInha = NUMI; that moment when the title made all the sense was certainly enlightening. You need to pay utmost attention to every word in order to follow the story. The element of twists and flashbacks is used to bring out the very essence of the story. NUMI is a sure shot way to get rid of boredom anywhere. Definitely look forward to more from the author.

To me, this book was a spiritual journey. We, in our present life, live with many fears, apprehensions and mental blocks which we carry from our past lives. Whoever we meet or interact in present life, most of the times, have some connection with our past life and this circle keeps going till we find a way to be one with our creator. 
The story NUMI revolves around protagonist Nuha and her spiritual journey. Nuha is a beautiful, well read, well travelled, independent blissfully married middle aged woman , who enjoys her work and her current situation in her life. Though everything seems perfect to her in her home and marriage,yet at times she feels that something is amiss. She blames it to midlife crisis and tries to live with it until one day she comes across a stranger FD, on a trip, who guides him to Minha, her spiritual mentor. Thus begins Nuha's quest of spiritual healing, enlightenment and laying the ghosts of past to rest. A beautiful bond is established between the mentor and the mentee and they both discover their twin soul in each other. 
The cover of book is mystical and intriguingly beautiful . It invokes curiosity.
The title,too, intially sounds like a strange feminine name but one understands the real meaning in the last pages.
The book has a slow pace, which for a change, adds to its beauty as the deeper ideas of spirituality and self healing can't be understood and enjoyed in haste. Though certain portion sounds little draggy and one may feel like flipping pages. 
Character of protagonist Nuha is mystical and inspiring. Author has made her come alive with her writing. 
Language is simple, lucid and engaging. I particularly enjoyed the snippets in between the chapters.
Overall the book is a beautiful spiritual journey. I will recommend it to those who have a spiritual bent of mind.

NUMI: The Guarded Loop by Nupur Sandhu, is a spiritual fiction. The book addresses circumstances and situations concerning mental health, past life, fears and mental blocks that are dealt with by most of us, in our day to day life. The story revolves around Nuha and her spiritual journey of self-exploration and contemplation. Nuha is a beautiful, well educated, independent and happily married, middle-aged woman. She loves her job, her present life, things seem to be more than perfect yet she feels a void. It has been a while now; Nuha tries hard to feel content. One fine day, she meets a stranger, named FD who introduces her to Minha. Nuha finds the interaction very cordial. Soon she realized that Minha had answers to her questions that she had been fighting for so long. A beautiful bond builds up between Nuha and her mentor, Minha. As a reader, I got to learn a lot from her spiritual quest.

The book is slow-paced which is needed, in order to understand the ideas of spirituality to the very depth. The language used is simple but the sentence formations could have been simpler. My favorite part of the book is the last few pages where the author has explained the meaning of the book’s title.

The book needs to be edited more thoroughly. I loved the cover of the book, one can understand it relevance with the content f the book after finishing it.

We often carry the burden of our past, continue to feel empty and forget enjoying the moment. To me, the book has been an eye-opener. We live only once and life is too short to keep regretting about mistakes from the past, even in the present.

NUMI- The guarded loop is a book which is so filled with spirituality and preachings that it takes away whatever little feeling of attachment one has with its main character. Though the author describes Nuha as someone we all could find ourselves in, a middle-aged married girl who wants to fill that void in herself. There’s a curiosity, a seeking, an urge to know more about herself and the universe which we all could relate to. But the writing of the book, which felt to me pretentious in parts and too preachy in others leaves a very surreal approach which is less mystifying and more deterring.
Since no one reads a spiritual book for the plot, the focus of the book was more on exploration of human nature but some of the content was repetitive. I did like the narration of the book and how it was set up with Nuha an explorer and Minha her mentor. The insertion of poetry and gorgeous illustrations before each chapter also made for a wonderful reading experience.
“Hand over the reins to the original operator and witness the journey just as a spectator.”
The poetry set the mood for what the next chapter held and since it is a small book, one breezes through without much effort. However, the depth of the book is commendable. I do wish the author worked more on ensuring that the reader could develop a connection with the matter of the book instead of it being like a sermon merged with a story.
Since I am not a regular reader of spiritual books, I cannot name a better one for comparison. However, this is a genre with a lot of scope. The aspect that makes or breaks a book is how it manages to walk the thin line between being mystical to the point of looking like a complete fiction and being relatable enough for people to understand themselves better through it. It is there where the book falls short.

The book NUMI: The Guarded Loop by Nupur Sandhu is an excellent book. The title of the book itself is very interesting which comes from the name of two individuals NUHA and MINHA and combines into NUMI. The book contains the story of the girl named Nuha who has been facing voidness in her life. She experiences each and every day to day incidents and stories and relates with her past life. She wanted to discover her inner peace and wanted to know the unknown answer to her questions of life which has made her a lost minded person. She joins a spiritual class session in which Minha helps her to calm her mind and makes her a more positive person and from where she started to get the better prospect of life and able to understand all that was happening to her and uncode her hidden answers in life. And she discovers her soul mate in Minha with whom she has spent almost 7200 lives.

It's a great concept and helps an individual to understand life in a better perspect. I have never ever read stories like these by any Indian author. I'm really impressed with the writing style of the author and hoping to read more from her. It's a spiritual as well as a self help book because these story gave a positive outlook and contains the basic human behaviour and helps one to understand the meaning of life.

Time is a healer, they say. But there are some

unacceptable emotions that lay unhealed.
Have you ever wondered when people mention about past lives!??

NUMI is one such story of a beautiful middle aged lady, Nuha. Nuha has a well settled job, Robin, whom she is married for two decades and a handsome son, Bobby. Life was all perfect until she desperately wants to take a break from her routine. In this process she meets Minha, a healer who happens to be Nuha's mentor. Nuha soon discovers the 7200 past lives lived with Minha by her side. As days pass, Nuha sees her twin soul in Minha. But where does this lead to, is all the story.

🔹I wondered what was the actual meaning of the title-NUMI.. However I found it at the end of the story and I really loved it.
🔹The cover page could have been designed more interesting, for the story that worth it.
🔹Every chapter starts with a snippet. And if you carefully read it, you'll get the idea of the plot.
🔹The language is easily readable but some lines were dragged on, making a reader flip the pages.
🔹For those who always had an interest on past lives, you'll now desperately want to know it.

NUMI- the guarded loop.
I picked up this book based on the blurb that I found very unique and intresting, and I do not regret my choice.
This book has been written in a very simple narrative style which discloses emotions without much labour. The story is about Nuha, a middle aged woman who lacks sipirtual depth in her life. In her quest, she meets people who had a part in her life for certain reasons.
This book is all about spiritual re-birth. The bond between Nuha and Minha, her mentor is very beautifully described.
It is very delightful to see Indian authors actually starting to write on genres that are beyond usual college romance and heartbreaks. It is a refreshing read for anyone looking to take deeper delve in life.
Although there were some passages which seemed to drag the storyline and others with an abrupt end, I really appriciate the author’s depth of thinking process that she would have went through while writing the book.
I would recommend this book to spiritual literature lovers.

Well this is the novel for which I was waiting since a long time to read "NUMI".

Reading this book was a whole new experience for me and it has really touched me deep within.

Coming to story, it is a story of the protagonist girl Nuha, a sensitive young girl, though I felt her story to be strange at the beginning but later I felt attached to it.

This book is one among the finest spiritual books that I have ever read. The concept is really new and great.
Narration may seem to be a bit mixed up at beginning but soon gains pace and is amazing thereafter, poems and sketches are an additional treat to such a well written novel.

Character's are really well developed and especially of Nuha and Minha who explains the title well that Numi is within everyone of us, this concept is so heart warming and touching, adapting such concept and theme is really a brave task.

Overall this book is best experience of this year till now and something new and refreshing to read.

Before I begin my review, I would just say that I fell in love with the name of the protagonist of this story, Nuha. The title seemed good enough to arouse my curiosity and I could not resist reading this book. It is an interesting fictional story and I enjoyed reading it. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5 and here is my review of it.

After a long time, I read a soothing fictional story. The book revolves around the story of Nuha who is working on healing her soul by taking insights from her past life. She had some emptiness in her life which she wanted to remove. And, she takes the help of the theories of life after death to heal her problems. You do not get to read such stories too often and this was an interesting story on this plot. But to know how things proceeded, you will have to read the book because I will not be a spoiler.

This story has been a page-turner where I was curious to read what will happen next. The narration was strong. I found the plot quite interesting because I like reading such stories. I did not like the cover much but the book turned out to be better than my expectations. And for the title, after reading the book I felt that it could have been better.

Pick this book up if you enjoy reading stories related to life after death.

Title- 3 / 5
Cover- 3 / 5
Plot - 4 / 5
Narration- 4 / 5
Overall- 3.5 / 5

The cover is so gorgeous that I didn’t even have to think twice before picking the book up. The blurb just straight up confused me. Whoever had tried to make it sound intriguing has failed in their attempts because honestly they have overdone it, it looks like word vomit.
Now onto the book, the story was very newfangled and interesting. This concept hasn’t been used before. There was something about the writing style that bored me a little in the middle of the book but the other times, I had fun because the narration style is very good. Spiritual books usually don’t interest me but I had a good time reading this. I really liked the how the author has alternated between the past and the present. The editing part needs a lot of work, it was annoying to encounter so many mistakes when you’re enjoying the story. But it is a good attempt at writing and I know for sure that if a thorough editing is done, this book will go places.

How I personally feel about the text?! Well, I'll be beginning with the end, since each ending in itself is a new beginning -- and so it is in the book, Nuha and Minha's amalgamation forms the basis of the book. Moreover I personally feel that author's own philosophy is very much evident from the book itself. The concept of a shared a bonding in our souls, the yearning and longing for the lover, the divine connects and narratives of transcendence are absolutely beautiful. The novel's plot is, well.. how should I put it, different and moreover takes one away from the reality; away in a way that one feels contented and very well soothed. Minha, the mother, the lover, the second half -- and Nuha, the daughter, the lover, and the first half are connected in ways which are not ordinary. They're bound in their spirit.
Nuha has suffered thruout her life and that coma-thing in the end -- is maybe a metaphor for how a soul suffers thruout and the only way to.. like really deal with the pain, really get out of that circle of suffering is to take some time out of the ordinary. Maybe the only way to connect again, is to first disconnect.
P.S. By no means this is a complete review!

"More than four decades had passed, Reining the carriage of her life, The horses were tired and so was the Knight. The voice of the inner guide said softly, We have reached “Half-Way Home”, Let’s take some respite. The ride would continue, The wheels would roll on, Hand over the reins to the original operator And witness the journey just as a spectator"
.

Numi is about the journey of a girl named Nuha, her beautiful life, her past and her present. Even though she has everything in her life, she still feels a void, she gets flashbacks from her past. Numi is about a beautiful and spiritual journey of Nuha's life, to which all of us can relate and connect.
The plot of the book is one of it's kind, it's beautiful. The narration is good but could have been better. The characters felt real and could be connected to. The scenes were good but some parts felt stretched and some part felt out place. Overall it was a good read.

Rating- 🌟🌟🌟.5/ 5

An Interested read shows happiness and this is also a spiritual book to some extent.

Completed this book in two days. I would say this book is interesting to read, shows the journey of soul and our experience. As a bibliophile, I can see there are lot of editing is require. But, this doesn't stop reader to read. Readers are motivated to consider why many of the facts of our lives, such as our age, gender and where we live, do not make much difference when it comes to our lives.
"NUMI The Guarded Loop" takes us through the mystic, beautiful and intriguing journey of Nuha, a sensitive young girl. She has already hit the quintessential milestones of life, yet continues to look for the oasis, searching within her soulful realms for vistas unknown. Author has also presented a sight, which we can't even think of.

Numi has a beautiful cover, and the synopsis intrigued me and had a lot of potential. I wish the book had been the same.

Numi is very much in need of a thorough editing. Maybe if that's done, it could be an enjoyable read.

There were instances in the book that annoyed the hell out of me. For example, the author had italicised every alternate paragraph, and I could find no reason for doing that whatsoever.

The story itself had potential, but the writing errors ruined the book for me.

The only things I really liked about the book were the poetry and art pieces. They gave the story a character, something the prose didn't manage to do.

This book is about the Journey of Nuha to connect with her past life and heal herself in order to lead her rest of the life peacefully under the guidance of Minha who is a therapist.

I liked the narrative and the flow direction of story. It was engaging and intriguing and it had put me into a trance and fantasy making me think will this really happen.

The impact and effectiveness could have been increased by usage of quotes here and there and providing a justification for every logic that is described.

Verdict: If you are in interested in philosophy of Life or self help genre, then this book is a must read.

revolves around the subject of incarnations and the impact of past lives humans experience in present.

What I Liked:
1. Preaching in the form of story: I am a fiction reader and the preaching was embedded nicely along with the plot.
2. Simple language: The author Nupur Sandhu kept the language and choice of words very simple even though she had the choice of making the readers refer a dictionary every now and then considering the genre.

What I did not Like:
1. Repetition: I found myself skimming through many pages as I felt that I have read the same context just a few pages back.
2. Not able to connect: May be due to the genre, I could not relate much to the plot and it’s development.

Honestly, on a lighter note I remembered a long time ago tv show which used to take the participants into their past life.

AUTHOR: Nupur Sandhu
FORMAT: Kindle
RATING:3/5

I loved the beautiful cover page of this book which outright intrigued me. It looked so mystical. Also the blurb seemed interesting. I don't usually read spiritual books but this had me interested.

This is a very unique story about a beautiful, independent woman called Nuha who although seemed to have a perfect life on the surface felt that something was missing. She then meets her spiritual mentor Minha and her life changes. Her quest to spiritual healing begins.

I liked the narration. A little dragged at times but a good book nevertheless. I would like to read more books by this author.

The cover is so pretty. And magical. The cover doesn't say much about the story does it?

I loved the characterization. The premise had so much potential and the writing almost did it justice. The book had so much to say yet somehow I thought it felt bland.

There were ways to improve the plot. And i felt the writer could have done a better job at mapping out the process.

Otherwise, the book has a lot to offer.

The book is so gracefully written just loved it!

'Numi' is one of a kind, and that is an understatement . The storyline revolves around Nuha, and how she changes her life for the better. What I really appreciate about this book is the flair of the author, which caused the reader himself to introspect with Nuha . The simple yet effective choice of words help us to visualize the spiritual aspects in a soul stirring manner. Numi is a genre unique in itself. I loved the easy going temperament offered, along with causing us to reflect on all the basic questions which we ponder upon sometimes . A spiritual an eye opening experience truly !

Book Title: NUMI - The Guarded Loop
Author: Nupur Sandhu
Format:  Kindle

Book Title:
The title of the book ' Numi - The Guarded Loop ' is very unique and uncommon.

Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is a digital art of scenery and a mighty bird emerging from between the valley. The bird can be imagined as a phoenix bird or an owl which are deeply connected to one's soul in the theory of spirituality. Thus, the subtitle, ' The Guarded Loop ' makes much sense here.

Plot:
The story is about a woman in her middle age, having a comfortable life with every aspect of life in place in this generation's hurried lifestyle often feels that she is missing something and these thoughts arise from within deep herself. Being a crazy traveler, she finds it mysterious that though she is exploring newer places physically she is missing something mentally. With these thoughts during one such travel incident, she comes across a person who plays the role of her Karmic Soul mate and hence shows her a path to find a guru to insatiate her unknown shallow feelings. Thus, she develops a strong bond of oneness with the person and tastes the beauty of spirituality away from the physical plane.

How does this journey make her a better being is the book about.

What I like:
1. A very unique and different storyline
2. A perfect mixture of common life, inner thoughts, thirst to seek more about the truth of life, friendship, unconditional love and greater dimension of human life.
3. Not many books in the name of the protagonist allow a reader to introspect one's inner self but this book has done it.
4. The crisp and simple language has had more effect while reading.
5. Matured thoughts often explore a reader's mind and this book has done the same. The guru-shishya relation is just beautiful to understand.
5. Such books sometimes really inspire the new authors to explore more topics and genres other than just writing a love story.
6. Kudos to the author for having owned the subject and presented the readers with a very nice book.

What I didn't like:
At some places in a hurry to complete the book, the story looked dragging. Other than this, no particular drawbacks are found. If any editing or grammar errors exist, intelligent writing can overshadow it.

Characters:
The characters of the female protagonist, her people, and many other characters have been plotted very well.

Narration:
With the help of simple Language elements in the story, the narration is simply striking and the reading is also effectively simple.

Language & Grammar:
The simple, colloquial and uncomplicated language with good vocabulary is found in the book.

My Final Verdict:
A must read to taste some wonderful Indian writing.

Book Title: 4/5
Book Cover: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Characters: 4/5
Narration: 4/5
Language & Grammar: 4/5
Final Rating: 4/5

Page count : 120

Rating : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟




About the book :


so. . I'll start with the cover. The first thing which caught my attention was it's cover. It's very beautiful and gives all that magical vibes. 


Coming to the title,  i first thought that it is some mythological story which I usually don't read. 

But the story was very beautiful, very interesting and it was just wow. I really liked the concept. 


The story talks about Nuha, beautiful and young girl and her journey. 



Next thing is the blurb. It was intriguing and it made me curious to read the book. 


Language is a little difficult to understand  at first but you start to understand it after a couple of  chapters. 

So I would not recommend this book to beginners. 

 


The plot is very interesting and the title is apt. 


The story with keep you hooked to it. It's a quick read. 


The twist was perfectly described. 




Poems added to the beauty of this book 

and all the pictures were also nice and helped to understand the story better. 


Characterization is good. 


Nuha and Minha's story is told in this book and at first  you'll  not understand Nuha's character but soon you'll be attached to her as you keep reading. 


The story gave all the magical vibes and it was fun to read. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend you all to read the book

Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "Numi - The Guarded Loop" by Nupur Sandhu

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a PDF copy of the book for review. **

** Thanks to our reviewer Reetwika Banerjee for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **

Death is one of the most explored genres in fiction, be it in terms of dark literature, thriller, horror or psycho thriller types. But a prolife or afterlife treatment of centre plots is never an easy task. The author being a healer has the perfect mix of personal experiences and exposure in handling real life NDE (near to death) cases and thus has been able to craft a novel like Numi.

The story is narrated through the eyes of the lead named Nuha who is a lady healer (may be the author's shadow??) in search of quenching her curiosity about earthly existence of life vs spiritual souls. How a sudden meeting carves Nuha's life towards destiny is the novel all about. After our death, the energy stays back in the form of residual or entrapped energy as they say and Nuha through her life's journey tries to capture a shot of those invisible sources of energy through a healer's way. Years back I had read a bestseller book on witchcraft named 'Sacred Evil' by Ipsita Roy. Nupur's Numi reminded me of that book and there lies the success of her novel too. Don’t want to spoil the thrilling experience of the readers by getting into the details of the plot.

However the cover page does not convey the charm of inner contents of the book in my opinion. It could have been far more captivating. Also not sure if the book's tagline in Amazon, Goodreads and elsewhere is mispelled or intentionally left different - 'guarded' mentioned in the book and title but on other places it says 'gaurded' - the meanings are different, so I got little confused. Whatever it may be, but as a reader, we do not get to find many of Numi's genre books in India and so undoubtedly this is going to be one of the torchbearers of the genre in Indian literary spectrum.

Overall, we Literoma would like to rate the book as 4*/5*. Looking forward to read more of Nupur's books in future.

“Numi - the guarded loop” by Nupur Sandhu is a spiritual fiction work.

About the book:

The story whirls around protagonist Nuha, a forty-year-old lady led in a path to find the truth of oneself. While having so many unanswered questions in her life, Nuha meets Minha her mentor and tries to seek the truth through her.
Nuha being so curious, attends the workshop organized by Minha, in order to find the answers of her questions that she carried all along her life. During these sessions Nuha gets acquaintance with certain people in the worshop and even learns things from their experience.
What happens next? What’s the role of Minha in Nuha’s life? Will Nuha finds the truth she is craving for? Lies the suspense of the story.

About the book:

The author chose a unique way of narrating spiritual thoughts in a beautiful manner.
Mostly the thoughts were portrayed in the form of incidents that happened in Nuha’s life and the vision she incurs during her sleep were so relatable, that gave us the perfect picture of conveying the underlying concept.
Robin’s concern for his wife (Nuha) was touching and his presence was determined and shown as and when required, other characters were playing minimal role and that’s what is expected as the entire story is focused on Nuha and Minha.
Finding the truth of oneself, what is our behavior? and What does it reflects with karma is beautifully portrayed in this book. This book is something beyond imagination for a lay man as it requires concentration to understand the essence of this book.
I would recommend this book to all readers who love to read spiritual related concepts.
My rating is 4/5 star for this unique book.

Highlights:
The book title is derived from the names “NUha” and “MInha” the first two letter of their names combined to create the beautiful title “NUMI”.
“Nuha” means Intelligence.

TITLE
The title is attractive, something that will make you intrigued and make you grab the book immediately.
COVER
The cover could have been a lot more better that it currently is. It is something that goes in a negative way especially when the content is amazing but the cover dims the book’s light.
STORYLINE/CONTENT
The story is of Nuha and her journey of dealing with the ordeals of life. It’s her story of connecting with her own past life and how she heals herself in order to life a beautiful ahead in the future. This she does with her help and under the guidance of a professional therapist, Minha. The entire book is a combination of a large number of flashbacks and flashes of coming back to the present. It has been framed very well and beautifully.

The entire story has been written in a very beautiful way. The language is simple and lucid and the book seems to be flowing right in front of your eyes.
