Yes.! You read it right. These days Romancing is everyone's cup of tea but hardly or rarely anyone will like to romance with chaos in their lives. A Romance with Chaos is the name of the novel written by Nishant Kaushik. The
title is little similar to my present situation in life and that was one of
the reason I bought it. Moreover I have been following Nishant on twitter
and his nice, humorous tweets were also a reason for buying his novel.
The story revolves around the
main character Nakul Kapoor who manages to fetch a decent job with a famous
company Bytesphere in Mumbai. It tells about Nakul’s childhood, crush, friends,
family, love, job, work and the challenges he faces in his
simple yet complex life. He has loving parents who wish to see him married and get settled in life. He has a sweet sister
Tisya Kapoor who often complains that being in the same city her brother never
comes to meet her and spend time with her family. He has a girlfriend, Kavya a budding fashion designer who wants him to
earn more otherwise she won’t be able to buy a Gucci Dress. He has a colleague, Vishal Tiwari who is a
dear friend and whose wife wants Nakul to help her husband to excel at
professional front. He has a boss, Chirayu Chaudary who wants him to work without any
acknowledgement. Thus, He finds himself in such a cobweb that he cannot come out of
it but then something happens that teaches him life's greatest lessons.
Things I liked in the Novel :
The way the Nakul Kapoor introduces/describes himself in Chapter 1 is hilarious but very close to reality too. Then in Chapter 4 comes the cutest character of the novel Kohinoor Pratap Kesari, not that he is actually cute but he is so innocent that he won't ever understand what manipulation, cheating or politics mean.
Nakul needed a roommate to share the rent & Kohinoor needed a house to live so they both stay together which can be better termed as Morning and Night together or North Pole and South Pole together! They both are so different in nature that their conflicts make you laugh.
Chapter 14 was an eye opener that explains how someone you trust can only break your trust. When Nakul was all set to travel London for an onsite project it was Vishal who requested Chirayu not to call him onsite. Though Nakul was embarrassed that he had to return from the airport, he did not give up and tackled the situation well.
Chapter 15 has sketches made by Payal (who is Nakul's parents choice for Nakul's better-half). I really liked the idea, how the author molded those sketches to fit them with the story. I am sure everyone will find some similarities in their life and the sketches.
In further chapters the story takes a beautiful turn and the person who never believed in Social Service starts and heads a campaign taking everyone together. My Favorite is the last chapter "The World isn't a Supermarket" in which Nakul gets Young Achiever of the Year award which he dreamt in the very beginning. He delivers an amazing speech.
I hope like Nakul everyone will be able to find that "X element" that can make them happy. I would like to end the post with a sweet text that Kohinoor sent Nakul just to cheer him up :
Let your smile be brighter than the sun, So that even your worries have to face the glare before they face you.
