This story is about a young girl from Patna named Rupali Sinha, who is ready to mould her dreams in the top-ranked Delhi
University. She has beaten all the odds and is ready to challenge the
extremities prevailing in society. Rupali is a sincere girl who wears
traditional clothes and believes in the good side of the people. Rupali is amazed at her roommate Saloni as she tells her that she is from Noida and has
preferred the hostel to get privacy from the family. She realises that Saloni
must be a pampered daughter. Saloni prefers western wear and has a jovial
attitude. Rupali wonders if they will get along in future, and yes! They become
best friends. Saloni is a bit stubborn in influencing the fashion sense of
Rupali. Rupali has a soothing voice and tries to participate in the music club of
the college, and there she learns about the politics prevailing in that college. There she meets a guy of college politics, Arjun, who would soon mark a
difference in her life. Prof. Mahajan is her accounts head and a renowned
professor of the university. She has some doubts about her paper, and when she
tries to meet him, she witnesses some peculiar activity. Prof. Mahajan was
abusing one of their female peons. She tries to help her anonymously and plots to
prevent such activities from happening in the future. When she confronts that
peon, Raheema and insists on helping her, Raheema feels ashamed but soon agrees to
confront Mahajan. Mahajan had strong political support, and therefore that confrontation leads to a tight slap on Rupali's cheeks. Raheema gets scared and
tries to take help from Arjun. Arjun treats Raheema as his elder sister, and then Rupali gets to know more about him. Her encounters with Arjun weren't that
pleasant before. He was a member of the opposition party in that college and a victim of the reservation quota. Arjun with his friends- Prosonjeet, Madhab, Rupali and Saloni, plan their battle against Mahajan, despite his hierarchy
in the college. Rupali had a video as proof against Mahajan. Every action
has an equal and opposite reaction. Will Mahajan not reciprocate? Will their plan
to upload the video without any victim's statement result in his arrest? Will
social media accept this as truth? What about management? Do they have enough
guts to question Mahajan and his political support? Whatever happens, Mahajan
knows who is the one behind that video and will definitely exploit his power. I
hope for a better ending but remember this is a rebellion against corrupt powers and disgusting minds who can stoop so low for revenge that you wouldn't want your enemy to go
through.
The story is framed well. The pace of the
story keeps you engaged. You might not enjoy the turn of the events but that's
how it is; these stories are really inspired by true events. This is a harsh reality, and the author acquaints us with being woke about these happenings in
our society. I picked this book because of the popularity of the author on social media. Ravinder Singh's novel 'I Too Had A Love Story' engraved its name on
the hearts of the readers, and I will read it soon. I had really expected a lot
from the writer, and it is possible that I found this like a good novel but couldn't
reciprocate the hype. But I like the writing style. This
was the third novel by the author, published in 2014. The author has also tried
to impress us through Rupali. She can't withstand something inappropriate. When she is with Arjun watching the aeroplanes take off and land at the airport, she says something inspiring "The broader question is when a few dreams do not come true, should we stop dreaming?" I guess not.
This society depends on us for the change, and I hope someday we all do
something for the betterment of this society.
Wow❤️🥺
