Love Not For Sale ~ Anurag Garg

Spending today complaining about yesterday won't make tomorrow any better.

Who could have taught a rich brat this simple thing about life. He never expected that there will be a day where he'll find someone who's happy to be what she is, though much more miserable than he could ever think of himself to be yet she's happy with the li'l things which surround her. 

Kabir Thapar, a spoilt son of a rich father in Mumbai commits a fatal mistake, something which can't be undone, not by him or the surname which he carries after his name. Drugs and alcohol are his dear friends since the demise of his mother but he never knew that a regular night might do wonders in seconds. A hit and run case filed against him, while he flee from one place to another only to meet her.

Sehar, the lady who taught him the best he could have ever known. The one who taught her that no matter what, not everyday has to be cribbed about, there are things which one might have and the other don't, above all, we all are gifted with another day to live, one must be grateful for that. Her teachings were lessons for him, lessons for a lifetime but the most important fact which he learnt from her was that Love Is Not For Sale and it can never be. 

The author, Anurag Garg has sent across a beautiful message under his title Love Not For Sale that no matter what, where and how you may be, love never looses your way and it doesn't care for what the world may think of you, when one has to be struck by it, one has to be and no matter how wrong it may seem to the world around, two souls connected under one string of love doesn't find anything wrong in what they do, for they live it for love, for their forever. 

The cover of the book has a couple, deeply in love sitting on a roof top while the pillars of the Jama Masjid stand in front of them, depicting that love is as holy and sacred as worship of God. 

Personally, I'm not a romance fiction person, but when it comes to this book, it actually made me believe that no matter what, being loved is beautiful, but being loved unconditionally is beyond perfect and no matter what, it do exists, even though rare to find but love do exists somewhere in each one of us. As tears trickled down my face by the end of this book, I couldn't help but hope that in the end, on the very last page, there comes a line which says that it was a nightmare which Kabir lived, that things didn't turn out to be bad but it also seems that the author is just like me, the one not known for happy endings, for life always punish you for your deeds and so it did with Kabir, only to make him love stronger, deeper and forever, but this time his love was life.
