About the Author: Jahid Akhtar is a software developer by profession. He was born and brought up in Assam and resides in Bangalore with his wife Anjali and their little daughter, Jia. Jahid enjoys writing about some unforgettable moments, in his blog titled Flashbacks.

Blurb: Devastated by floods, Bipin and his little boy Tublu move to a faraway land, where they meet the Sharmas. This marks the beginning of a long and enduring relationship between Bipin and the Sharmas, and the growing friendship of their children Tublu and Maina. The book captures the journey of this friendship through childhood to adolescence and into adulthood. From some interesting school and college humour, the story progresses on and develops into a mature narrative. As years pass, Tublu’s plain and silent crush on Maina develops into deep love and longing, which bears the potential to conquer all of life’s challenges. The story has its share of drama that entertains; humour that makes one reminisce; love, friendship and emotions that define the amazing journey that is, life.



Review-
This is Jahid Akhtar’s debut novel and he has written it beautifully. It is a story showing the beautiful journey from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. Going to college, hostel life and what not, everything has been shown in these 204 pages. From childhood to being an adult, and later on parents, everything is narrated over here. The characters of the story have been shown in a very good way and surely the credit goes to the author.
The plot of the story is a good one and the author must be appreciated for that.
The language used by the author is simple and one can understand it easily. I loved reading the book and no can be bored while reading this book.
This being the author’s debut novel is a very good one and he has really done a great job and he must have worked hard on it.
The cover is interesting and so is the title.

“Stop crying Ashna, he was not the one for you.” Said Tanaya. “No Tanu, it’s not about that. He cheated me for no reason and I trusted him blindly. He had broken my trust earlier too, but I trusted him like a fool for the fourth time.” I said and started crying again. It was my mistake to trust Abhishek blindly, had I not done that, today I would not have been crying. My friends did warn me for loving him, they told me that this guy is not good but I was madly in love with him. This time he left me just because of a misunderstanding caused by an online brother, the one now I regret calling a brother. Had he not been a part of my life, I would have been happy with Abhishek. But as said, things happen for good. I wish Abhishek had some sense and solved the matter with me, we would have been together. I was into depression just because of him. Blades became my best friend which helped me hurt myself by cutting my hands. I knew this was not right but I was not the old Ashna, I was the ...

It was Saturday afternoon when papa came upstairs from the shop for the lunch. He took his lunch and a small nap and went back to the shop downstairs. After he went down, he had a sudden pain in his chest. The employees took him to his cabin and made him lie down. The condition worsened and then the employee decided to call and inform the family members. He called and said, “Ma’am, sir is sick. He is having a serious pain in his chest.” After hearing this, Deepa, my mother ran downstairs with the hot water bag. Things were normal for a while but again he felt the pain and he was unable to bear it. Seeing this, the employees suggested my mother to call the ambulance and take him to the hospital. The ambulance came and papa was taken DSP (Durgapur Steel Plant) main hospital. The weather then turned out to be rainy and the storm started. It w...
