Publisher Marketing: Authors Shyam Bhatawdekar and Dr Kalpana Bhatawdekar tell you a refreshingly different love story in this novel. The backdrop of the story is the larger than life canvas of beliefs and rituals. The story revolves around Shaan and Kelly. It also revolves around Shaan and Medhavi. The story is also about Kelly & Medhavi, Medhavi & Samskara. Alice & Yusuf, Yin & Arun, and Christie, Kelly, Yin & Arun. Good people- all of them but some with perfections and others with imperfections. Shaan and Kelly epitomize the goodness. Medhavi tries to change for better over a period of time and Samskara admits his deep-rooted paradigms that he can't get over. Shaan- the hero of the novel is an orphan adopted by a couple- husband and wife belong to different religions (an inter-religion marriage). They are not aware of the religion of their adopted son and hesitate to bestow him any religion. He grows up a fine adult and decides to remain religion-less. His first love affair (a bit od one-sided love) with his class-mate Medhavi fails as the girl turns down his proposal of marriage because he is religion-less. He accepts it and starts concentrating on his career and meets up with another girl (Kelly) who is also in the same boat as Shaan- a religion-less creature. They gradually fall in love not because they are in the same boat but because they start loving each other truly. Shaan and the two girls are destined to meet in Japan at a place devastated by the worst tsunami. Shaan rescues his first love and now she falls in love with Shaan head over heels. The second girl knows their relationship by now and wonders if Shaan will breakup with her and return to his first love. Explore how different people from starkly different backgrounds meet at the tsunami hit location and support each other with a single mission of 'humanity'.
