Rate this book
‘Is there any dead end on life’s highway? A moment where everything seems to pause forever. A place where life turns into a suffocating black hole making everything meaningless? Is there? Or is the dead end just an extremely real illusion? An illusion asking you to look close inside yourself and find the light that will lead you through.’ A tragic accident leaves Sharan on the crossroads of life from where darkness is all he can see. Unsure of his direction, Sharan sets on an undecided, unknown journey — partly to heal his pain, partly to run away from it. It is on this journey that he encounters his ‘Panch- mahabhuta’, his five teachers who change his life forever. Five ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Set in the beautiful landscape of Himanchal ‘Sunrise Beyond the Dead End’ is a story that will leave its readers introspecting their own lives and valuing its simple joys.

No one can understand others pain unless they've gone through the same.  All of us have our own stories. We can't erase anyone's pain, but we can certainly extend a loving hand and make their road less difficult.

Everyone in this world wears a mask. A mask of strength, hiding under it their scars and weaknesses. The biggest fear of a person is to be caught bare-faced by anyone without that mask, and it is also the biggest desire. Everyone longs to find people who can look beneath their mask and accept them despite their scars. 

Sunrise Beyond The Dead End is a journey to find such a bare-faced person. Sharan, a successful investment banker met with a tragic accident in which he lost his wife and son, darkness was all around him. An undecided journey completely changed his life. Read this story to find out those people who came with their own extraordinary stories during this journey to change his life forever. The basic premise of this tale is engrossing. This is a beautifully written heart-searching story. Maturely written with layered plots, characters are very well crafted. Language is poetic with a very nice diction. the story is undoubtedly engaging.

"The wound stays, but if we keep holding it all ghe time then our hands will never be free to hold the blessings life has to offer!"

Story: Sharan goes through a tragic incident in his life, watching the loss of his family. He sees his world crumbled and comes to a pause. While performing the last rites of his wife and son, he gets on board to a journey of finding oneself, dealing with loss and healing. On the way, he meets people whose stories work as an ointment. Each of those people had their share of tragedy and ways of trudging through to find ways to live. "Life-inspiring!" Is the word.

My take: I feel in love with each of the characters. Each of their story was so poignant, and told in such a way that I couldn't leave it.
What I liked the most is, it doesn't have mere superficial words. When someone is going through such testing time... They can't seem to sleep or eat, at times, can't even listen to what someone says.

Author Anushree Painuly's writing is thoughtful, meaningful and poetic at times. This book has the theme of spiritualism, and that's not something which can be judged. It can only be heard and experienced through someone's eyes. Surely this book is a treasure house of positive energy and can help those who feel or have feel lost. The book stands for it's title 'Sunrise beyond the dead end'

Being someone who has been through loss and has raw grief killing my inside - this book in many ways came to me at a time when I needed it the most. How much we mourn and beg forgiveness for all wrong we might have done, to the ones we lost. How much we wish to have one last conversation! To be honest, some people who are in a state of loss, don't even get to pause and see what has happened? They're thrown into responsibility and after two days of fake pity, people ill treat them again. At least, that's what I have seen.

REVIEW:
~ A well penned story about motivation to move on. It teaches one to value what one has or regret when it's all gone. The character development of Sharan was positive and inspiring.
~ I really like the title of the book, it is very motivating in itself. It's certainly true that there is a sunrise beyond every dead end.
~ Also, it's appreciative how the author has given various life lessons through the stories of common people. I liked the idea that you can learn something from anyone and anywhere.

'Everything in this world wears a mask. A mask of strength, hiding under it their scars and weakness. The biggest fear of a person is to be caught bare-faced by anyone within that mask, and it is also the biggest desire.'

'Sunrise Beyond The Dead End'- as the title suggests, it takes us to an unforgettable journey with Sharan, ensuring us there is life even after when it seems it's all over.

Sharan had almost everything he wanted in his life- a lovely wife and son, a good income, and whatnot! But he hadn't known their value when he had them all. A sudden and unexpected demise of his wife and son, destroys Sharan from deep within. Sharan, in the banks of Ganges, after the final rituals for his lovable family, stays there with his heart in bits and pieces. Life takes him on its journey, making him meet 5 people, who hold such great sorrows like him, reassuring him and us that there's life after misery.

I loved the way the author ended the book. So much positivity in it. The writing style is subtle but loud enough for our hearts to hear. I'm happy that I chose this book.

Recommended read for anyone who feels like everything has ended- there is 'Sunrise Beyond the Dead end'.

If I can summarise this novel in a couple of words, it will be "Hope Matters".

This is the story of Sharan after losing his wife, Meera, and son, Raag, in an accident, and what happens when he comes in contact with five ordinary people (representing five elements) during his travel.

In Haridwar, when he finishes the last rites for his wife and son and loiters in the ghat, he meets a sick beggar and admits in 𝐃𝐫. 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐫 aka Nikhat Zaidi's hospital.

The conversation with Dr. Kabir guides him find path for his new journey. Read to know more about the past of Dr. Kabir and how she found her real truth.

After leaving Haridwar, he moves to Shimla where he meets four people — Shamsher Singh, Uma, Nimbu and Mridul — who make him change his perspective of seeing life in a new light.

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫, once a popular watch shop owner in Punjab but now owns just a petty shop, helps Sharan on a cold night and finds him a guesthouse to stay for a month.

Shamsher's character shows that determination is the greatest weapon that can withstand pain and obstacles.

The story of 𝐔𝐦𝐚 aka Bindiya is exciting. She keeps herself vieled all the time.

Once born to a prostitute mother in Kolkata and now reciting Ramayana lectures in temples and also working as a maid. She is a multitalented modern empowered woman. She too has her own love story behind her.

My favourite character in the story is Uma. She teaches the importance of faith and hope in life to come out of any struggles.

𝐍𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮 is a cute little kid Sharan meets in a park. He is supertalented and draws extraordinary paintings — a born painter.

Whe Sharan learns from Nimbu's father, Dheeraj, that he's suffering from leukaemia, we feel really sorry for the poor kid. But against all odds, Nimbu shines brighter as ever.

Nimbu's presence helps Sharan to see happiness in even the minutest thing to live a fulfilling life.

𝐌𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐥, the NGO worker for alcohol and drug addiction treatment, has lost his wife Roshini.

They were married for only two years without their family approval for apparent reasons. She was a Kathak dancer, and he thought computer classes.

But soon due to financial issues he became an alcoholic and wifebeater, which one day led to her demise falling from the stairs.

The tragic death of Mridul's wife turned him to start the NGO to help others like him.

Sharan was happy to get associated with Mridul as his story thought him when pain is turned into power, you become invincible.

These five important characters along with Birju the cook and Ken and Mini the lesbian couple play a significant part in this wonderful nugget of a novel.

Highly Recommended!

Author: Anushree Painuly 

Length: 117 pages

Genre: Fiction

Rating: ****

Recommended for: Beginners 

Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans. We get so entangled in making a living that we forget to pause and live. In the daily hustle-bustle, we keep running and running, working tirelessly for the next promotion, meeting deadlines, achieving targets, and ticking off the list in the illusion that we are doing it for our loved ones.  Life has its own way to make us realize what is most important for us and how we can make the best out of it.

Sunrise beyond the dead end beautifully explains this truth. The author has used simple language to explain this powerful concept.  The story unfolds with Sharan and his quest for living again after losing his only son and wife in an accident. Every character has its own unique journey and each one of them teaches Sharan a valuable lesson that helps him move forward. Life has thrown challenges and the characters have overcome them by facing the pain, grieving, and ultimately converting their hurts into their strengths to heal others. The book touches on the topics of alcoholism, prostitution,  gender inequality, domestic violence, and inhibition of LGBT communities through its characters.

The book emphasizes that we help ourselves the best when we help others. When we open the windows of our hearts to others, feel their pains, our pain minimizes. We learn to see the bigger picture and realize life is not only about us. 

Pain is inevitable, so is the death. No matter how cautious, righteous or planned we are, life will surprise us. People will let us down, plans will fail, things will not work out always, and we will be sad. It is up to us to accept these as souvenirs of life's journey and live life to our best potential. Shed those tears, accept the pain and learn to let it go and move on...

Sunrise beyond the dead end is a book that stays with you for a long time. It makes you introspect about your choices and reprioritize your goals. The book makes you count your blessings. Read it today and let me know your views on the same. Order your copy today.

Sunrise Beyond The Dead EndAnushree Painuly
MY RATING- 4.5/5 STARS
A sense of guilt, hurt and vulnerability gripped Sharan. Everyone in this world wears a mask. A mask of strength, hiding under it their scars and weakness. The biggest fear of a person is to be caught bare-faced by anyone without that mask, and it is also the biggest desire. Everyone longs to find people who can look beneath their mask and accept them despite their scars. Today, Sharan had found one such man.
This lovely book introduce us to Sharan who just lost his beloved wife and nine year old son in a car accident which feels like his life is on hold forever. He went to the holy river ‘Ganga ji’ to shed the bones of his beloved family to perform rites, where the dead end of his life takes a turn as the sunrise of his new life and starts a new journey altogether to find his lost happiness and joy of his life. in his journey he meets ‘Panch- mahabhuta’ his five new teachers who change his life forever by just teaching him five lessons of life.his life changes from a suffocating black hole making everything meaningless to a bright future where he could help people from recovering from the trauma they have suffered in their lives.
It was the best read I have read this month as it being true to the emotions which are portrayed and the feelings of not only the protagonist but even of the small characters are refined so well that anybody can get mesmerized with the writing style and be carried away by the emotions. My favorite character in this book is Nimbu – a 9 y.o boy who is one of the five teachers; suffering from leukemia yet leaves no stone unturned when its time to give Sharan the ray of hope and make him happy even in his illness.
Will Sharan be always in sorrow? Or will his life turn back to normal? Or will he learn something from this whole story and lead a happy life inspiring others?

FAB - BOOK REVIEW OF ''Sunrise Beyond The Dead End " by Anushree Painuly.

Genre: Fiction(Contemporary)

Rating - 4.5/5

" Sunrise Beyond The Dead End " by Anushree Painuly. Well, I don't know that I will love this book this much, and trust me, this is one of those very few short reads that will make a lot of impact in one's life. It is not a widespread impact, but instead, I could say that it has made a very profound transformation and made the readers know the actual meaning of life.
.
I fell in love with the book cover itself and then comes the beauty, that is the title of the book, which will give a blow of wind as if it is falling on your face at the end of the book. After thoroughly reading the book, one will get to know why the title is that, and its meaning will make us feel helpless but gives us more optimistic thoughts to lead the life future and make the most of it. This book is about our protagonist named Sharan, who is very successful in terms of his career, but he is not the same person in his personal life because he is hopeless and disappointed with life as Sharan lost his wife and his son in an accident, going away from him they had made him feel so desperate as he lost the loves of his life.
.
That incident has made him feel so disappointed, depressed, and suffering from some other anxiety issues. Being in a stage of hopelessness, he met 5 people who are suffering from various life issues. Then we will get to know those 5 people's life stories, making us see the beauty and magic of life. The language is lucid, and the charm in writing is speechless. A few words to sum up this review; we go through a lot, but what we need to know is that things will be settled soon and if you are dealing with something that is bothering you, then pick this book up though it is fictional, this book has the essence of everything that we need to get when we are going through hardships.

The story was about a boy named Sharan. He had been facing many problems in his life since childhood. After several years, he got married and had a child. One day, his wife and his son were traveling somewhere, but suddenly they met an accident and died. After that, he was in extreme pain.
.
In the hospital, he met Dr. Kabir. When he met her, he had many questions but he could not ask even a single question to her. After a short period of time, she told him that he could ask her whatever he wanted. Then he began & she told her all the story to him which was really heartrending. He felt that he is not the only person who has problems, there are many others as well. .
.
In the next episode, he met a stranger named SHAMSHER SINGH who had helped him by giving his shawl to him. Again he had several questions regarding him and asked him. Shamsher Singh also had a world-shaking story after which Sharan felt very bad that whatever he thought about him was completely wrong.
.
Then he met a peon at the place where he was staying. He felt that she had an extreme interest in reading books, for her as well he had many questions. They both shared their stories with each other and this time Sharan had completely changed his thought about life and its problems. He was now encouraged and felt that everyone has their own problems & we are here to face them.
.
What were the stories of Dr. Kabir, Shamsher Singh, the peon?
What happened in the end?
What did Sharan do after listening to all the stories?
.
The author has used simple language. Beginners must pick this book as it's short and interesting. The plot is intriguing. Also, the writing style of the author is commendable. .
The book cover is fascinating and inviting. Also, the title justifies the content.

This is story tells us that if we lost something or someone , which are precious and close to our heart or if we facing any difficulties. We Shouldn't do a thought of ending ourselves. We have future behind that incident too, but maybe it's not like past. But it's in your hands to lead a happy life or ruining yourself. Happy life is better than ruining ourselves.
.
In this story protagonist is Sharan. A busy man with work, he work for family. He has no time to spend with his family. Even in home , he works. But one day he lost his loved ones in an Accident. At that moment he thought that's a dead end. Why he was still alive , he questioned him self.
How our protagonist go through that tough phase. Is he able to come after it. If he came out of that trauma. How he did it ?
While his journey he knows when he met people , whose stories are similar and heart breaking. And how they go through that , how they came out side and leading a happy life.
Book name itself reveals that even if it's a dead end there is sunrise. Without trapping inside that difficult phase We have to overcome our difficult phases of our life.
.
Some lines from the book :
》“But trust me, the world never comes to an end, there is always a light, a ray of hope to live for.”
》“Our heart is such an enemy to ourselves; it always finds ways of reminding us of the pain that we are trying to forget.
》All of us have our own stories, our own heartaches. We can’t erase anyone’s pain, but we can certainly extend a loving hand and make their road less difficult.
.
》Title is apt for the book.
》Story, characterization, narration is good.
》Language is clear and friendly to understand.
》Page count : 103
》18 Chapters
》Its a small and good read.

"The wound stays, but if we keep holding it all the time then our hands will never be free to hold the blessings life has to offer!"

The pain of losing someone dearly can be felt by only those who have gone through a similar situation. When we lose everyone or everything we loved and cherished we tend to feel that is the dead-end of our life and there is no meaning to the life ahead. That's normal right?? But what if we understand that everything that happens in our life has a purpose? And losing someone or something is not the dead-end of our life?

This story is about Sharan, a successful businessman who has everything he wished for but had always ignored though unintentionally whatever he possessed. Like they say we realise the value of someone only when we lose them, Sharan understood the importance of the role his wife and son played in his life only when he lost them in an accident. His beliefs are shattered and he lost his desire to live.

After completing the final rites of his family Sharan sets out on an uncertain journey where he meets five different people who bestows him with the most valuable lessons of life which changes his perspective towards his life forever. These five strangers interestingly represent the 'Panch-Mahabhuta' of the universe who plays a very vital role in Sharan's life.

This book is an emotional rollercoaster that will keep the readers engaged till the end. The story was so engrossing that I read this book in one sitting. The characters in this book are very interesting that each character will give you something or the other to learn from. Every character and their story is very emotional and everyone can feel connected to these stories. The climax is something that I liked more. Overall it was a very gripping story.

Once you lose the people or things that are dearest to you that's the moment when you start to realize its worth in your life. We often take our love ones for granted, assuming there is enough time to express our love and emerge ourself in the world of goal centric life. We tend to become more like a machine and less of a human. A living thing with fewer emotions, and only goals to achieve. Such a life was leading by our male protagonist Sharan in this book. With a constant view to reach where he wants to, by sacrificing his every minute to his goal rather than spending his leisure time admiring his beautiful family. Very soon he even lost the opportunity to destiny's cruel decision. Sharan lost his wife and only child in an accident and after which his world suddenly crumbled into ashes.
.
Sunrise Beyond The Dead End is about love, despair, pain, and finally overcoming from the grief and moving on in life. Through the character of Sharan the author very beautifully portrays about the sudden turn of events that surprisingly makes us a different person, it talks about solitude, and how a tragic event can also end up giving us few important life lessons. Sharan in his state of uncertainty, loitering around the streets of Haridwar comes in contact with some special persons, and that leads him to his journey of self healing.
.
The entire plot was tragic yet soft. The events in this book didn't move too fast nor too slow. Every dialogue and every description I felt met with the requirement of the temperament of each character. When I read the prologue of this book the last few lines gave me goosebumps! Also, the cover page of this book is so beautiful and honestly this cover page actually made excited to go through this book.

📍 The story has it's own twists to make it much interesting and no unnecessary dragging of the story. Sharan wants to stay alone for some time as he thinks no one can understand his pain or no one has had that kind of pain in his/her life but life doesn't give him that too, there is always something/someone who helps him in his life moving on. Each character in the story with whom the main character meets, has his or her own bitter past story which interlinks with the main theme of the plot. Overall the story was superb and definitely for the ones who seek some self taught lessons by the life.

📍 Writing style is very much suitable as per the genre.Easy vocabulary was used so it will be easy for the beginners to read.

📍 It is a story about hope and the art to move forward when everything seems hopeless. The author has express this point beautifully. The character development of Sharam is most profound.

A journey of life can be completed alone but a memorable journey is only when you walk along with your loved ones.
Sometimes we do not realize the preciousness of blessings we have around us until we lose them somewhere in our path.


This story revolves around Sharan, a successful businessman who neglected his family just because of money. He had everything one could ask for, be it a great job, a beautiful and caring wife, adorable son, luxurious house, and good digits of money in his account. He has always been a person who has complained about having nothing even after having everything.


There is a twist that comes up in the story when Sharan losts his wife and son in a road accident. After seeing all this, Sharan's heart started aching and the spirit broke into pieces. Resting the burden of this unending pain something inside him died forever.

After performing the last rites, Sharan gets on an unplanned journey where he met five different people who showered important lessons of life which completely changed his life. These five ordinary people with their extraordinary stories resemble the Panch-mahabhuta which transformed him into a good human.

Rarely any book fascinates me, this book is one amongst them. The book offers so much. Be it in terms of narration, plot, and style of writing, I loved the book so much. Every character is beautifully portrayed by the author. The language used is reader-friendly. The book is filled with emotions. Overall is a gripping story. The cover could be better

Definitely recommended!!

The book named "Sunrise beyond the dead end" Is written by Anywhere Painuly.

How in the world can a book be so catchy and Interesting!!
The storyline is appealing from the very first page, even though it starts off with Sharan,
Oh! By the way, Sharan is our protagonist in this book. And the storyline revolves around his part of life.
The plot starts off with Sharan, and his broken life,
Firstly, it depicts three incidents that changed his life. And later it continues on the very recent tragic one that heavily changes his life forever. Leading him to seek the peace and the unknown superior power that every human tries to find atleast ones in his life.

"Sunrise beyond the dead end" story that leaves its reader introspecting their own lives and valuing the simplest of joys and moments. The story starts from Haridwar, but the later part is set in Himachal, the beautiful valley.

On the journey to get heal from his pain he encounters his five teachers who changes his life forever, five ordinary people with extraordinary stories.


The book simply does not offer just a story to the reader, rather shares a lot of information and knowledge with the reader that we must know and live with them. A very fantastic book and storyline. Narration has been done very well. I really felt calm and happy when I finished reading this book. A very nice read. It teaches us how losing something or someone isn't the dead end of our life, we must move on, and see how life takes further turns, and also that we all must appreciate what we have, no matter how less or how big.

"A person doesn’t know where he is heading only when all routes of his life seem same or all routes of his life seem meaningless”.

Sharan, a well heeded man who has recently lost his wife Meera and his son Raag in a car accident. Sharan is unable to forgive himself because when Meera and Raag were alive he snubbed them as mostly he got piled up with work and when they aren't there his heart is aching with regrets.

Getting engulfed in de trop agony, Sharan heads towards Haridhwar to perform the final rituals. After performing his rights he heads to Shimla where he gets encounter with various strangers who narrate their stories to him. When he hearkens them Sharan gets to know that he is not alone in this race and there are many who are in greif-stricken state. Sharan tries to transform himself and finds elucidation in life.

We often understand the importance of people when they are about to leave and at that moment all that is left with us is regrets ! I would say this book is simply gratifying and emotionally stricken. Along with the protagonist's story, the book also narrates a few other stories and after reading them we get a close glance of what exactly life is and illuminate us to revamp ourselves. I wished if the author had added a few more chapters to this uplifting novel then I would have loved it more. The narration was plain sailing and lucid. Overall, I would rate it 4/5

About the book:
🍁Sometimes in life we come across situations which tear us down and we face moments where our whole existence becomes futile. In such circumstances It becomes extremely difficult to gather courage and move on. In one such situation is the protagonist of this story, Sharan.
🍁Sharan is an extremely busy man who doesn’t find time for his family and by God’s grace has everything in his life but on one ungrateful day his wife and son meets with an accident and pass away. It’s only after that he realises their worth.
🍁He goes to Haridwar to perform the last rituals and immersed in the ocean of grief sets on an unknown journey.
🍁 It’s on this journey he encounters few people from different walks of life who teach him lessons which changes his entire meaning of life.
🍁Read the book to know about the characters(Dr Kabir, Shamsher Singh, Uma, Nimbu and Mridul) and how they influenced Sharan to develop a positive attitude in life .

Review:
🍁Though all of us might not struggle through the same issues but the story for sure teaches us that there are people with bigger problems and it is possible to overcome the deepest and darkest issues in life.
🍁The language used is lucid. The emotions are beautifully expressed. It’s a short meaningful read and would recommend all to read the book.

This is a story about Sharan, who has lost everything to a tragic accident and is on a crossroad of life where he can only see the darkness beyond. With the deep pain in his heart and purposeless life, he embarks on an unplanned journey where he encounters his 'panch-mahabhuta' - five teachers who change his life forever.

This is my first read about the author and I would like to read more from her. The book is a perfect tea-time read and can be finished in one sitting. The story and writing is simple yet effective, with good narration of the events. The title of the book is apt and I liked the cover picture. The protagonist's pain is beautifully portrayed without being overboard. He meets different people on his journey to find his purpose and learns from them. This is a realistic and emotional story with a great message. When something really bad happens in our life, we think it's the end of the world and we can never get over it. But what happens when we meet people who have even more tragic stories to tell? You will get to know the answer when you read this beautiful book. Recommended!

"All of us have our own stories, our heartaches. We can’t erase anyone’s pain, but we can certainly extend a loving hand and make their road less difficult."

Losing our loved ones make us deserted. It causes us much pain and sorrow but we cannot do anything. Sometimes, we feel like it is the end. We decide to end ourselves. We need to move on. Everyone has a dark past. Each one of us has our own story. But, what we can do is forget or try to forget our past and move on. We should try to live in the present.

'Sunrise beyond the dead end' is the tale of Sharan, an investment banker who is also the protagonist of this story. He cares about his work way too much that he is often not able to give time to his family. He realises the importance of his family too late when life takes them away from him. He becomes unsettled in life. He feels that everything has come to an end. He takes a journey to Shimla which changes his entire life. In the journey, he needs a lot of people who come from different backgrounds carrying different pasts. He learns about their experiences and opinions on life. This helps to change his own pective towards life.

The plot of the story is quite captivating. The title of the book is apt. The author has gracefully crafted the character of Sharan. The story is written in a transparent language and easy tone. It is a short and entertaining read with real life lessons.

He sat down on the road. Here the main part of the book start. He went to Haridwar to complete the rituals. With the grace of God he met a doctor who consult him that you should go up towards the shimla where you will get the real meaning of life. Where he met sage and knowledgeable person who dricetion him. There is a lot of things to read in this book. Left over, you will get to know after reading the book.

The plot revolves around Sharan, an investment banker, was a high-headed man. For him time was money and he never cared much about spending time with family and never know the value of spending valuable moments with family. His life takes an unexpected whack when he got knocked by a personal tragedy which made him realizes the importance of family. This prepares him to take off on an uncertain journey, which thoroughly shifts his perspective about life. On this journey, he convenes the ‘Panch- mahabhuta’, the five teachers who leave a very strong impression on his life. Sharan encountered a lot of people who were suffering which made him realize a lot of things he is ungrateful for. He came upon people who changed his perspective and outlook on life. He learned how not to judge people hastily by their appearances. The stories of Uma, Nimbu, Mridul, and Dr. Kabir stimulated me plenty and particularly story of Uma and Nimbu was so heart-touching and too relatable.

The language is clear and luminous. The cover is so attractive and the title is well inclined with the plot. The writing style is engaging and gripping throughout. The characters are well developed. The plot of the story is quite captivating. This book gives a chance to realize how important the people around us than money or stuff. I must appreciate the author for bringing out a book of exemplary to be grateful and appreciative. I would suggest this book to all readers and beginners can go as well.

🍁 This short read is based on the life of Sharan, a happily married man with his family. He, like many of us, was fixed on the thought that money is everything. He neglected his family, in order to attain financial security. Unfortunately, he loses them in an accident and is left alone to bear the burden of obstacles that life throws at him. He is depressed at his loss, unable to come out of it easily.

🍁 Soon, he finds himself spending a lot of time at Haridwar, dwelling on his loss. He embarks on a journey to Shimla for a change. This decision changes his life for the better as he meets 5 people with past of similar tragedies and losses. Collectively, these chance meetings with five people or 'panch maha bhootas', work on uplifting Sharan's emotional state, changing his perspective towards life in the process.

🍁 Who were these 5 people? What was the journey that Sharan embarks on? These questions light a fire of curiosity in the readers and are slowly revealed as the story progresses.

🍁 The book is quite interesting and a short read of just 103 pages. The journey of Sharan has been beautifully narrated in a lucid and gripping style of writing with simple language. The title is apt and the cover is simply stunning. Recommended to all those looking for an intense, short read.

The Crux:🔖
This is a Heart-rending story of Sharan who lost his wife meera and only son Raag in a tragic incident which leaves his world crumbled. He is a successful man who has everything he wished for but had always ignored his loved ones unintentionally. We only realise the value of someone only when we lose them forever, Sharan understood the importance of his wife and son only when he lost them in an accident. His beliefs are shattered and he lost his desire to live. He went to Varanasi to complete their last rites from nowhere to start he starts Searching for something to hold on. He wants to find himself, and run away from the sorrows. on the way, He meets five people whose stories work as a medicine. Each of those people had their share of tragedy and ways of trudging to find a way to live. These five strangers interestingly plays a very vital role in Sharan's life. Thanks to Shimla, the place where he meets four of them which changes his mind to live life to the fullest. To read this emotional read go grab it without any hesitation.

My 2 Cents:💢
This is an emotional read which will leave you with tears but also engage the readers to finish it off in a single sitting and grasp the readers attention. All the characters in the story will give you something to learn from. all the characters are emotional and connected to each other in something or the other way. The title is very apt for the story. Narration is amazing and the language is lucid and simple. A small but worth reading. I would recommend this read to all the readers.
