Quoting a line from the blurb “For a very
few, it beats, beats and beats, the count becomes meaningless…..” Rhythm of
Love by debut writer Rahul Prasad Kanu brings about this aspect of heartbeats
in a whole new way! With an attracting title for the book, it becomes one very
attracting book among the others in this category at first glance
On the back cover- Everyone has a heart, an organ which pumps blood. For more heads, it
beats 72 times a minute but for a very few, it beats, beats and beats, the
count becomes meaningless the moment you feel the ‘Rhythm is not yours’. You
are mesmerized!!! And when I say you cannot die at will. I mean it. God decides
your day. Dorji is in love with Angel. Destiny writes their fate to meet in
college. Dorji is ready to take his chances but when chances are for glances,
you deserve to be in trouble. This is the story of Dorji- a warrior. This is
his journey of falling in love and adoring love intricately entwining college,
friendship, drugs and passion for love. Will Dorji succeed in his quest for
Angel? Can honest endeavor unfold the path to glory and the difference between
loving and being loved? Will his dream meet his desires? This is the story from
‘The Land of Thunder Dragons’ Bhutan. The chase of Dorji is on, Lub Dub, Lub
Dub!!!
Characters- To begin with, I found the
characters of Dorji, Namgay, Mr.Purbha, Angel to be very crisp and well
maintained. From the very beginning of the book till the very end, the author
has done his best in maintaining the flow of the characters and keeping the
characteristics intact. At one point I felt that there were a bit too many
characters introduced but then the author was able to manage the whole scenario
in a very nice way.
Coming to the story, the way the writer has
framed the story makes a direct impact on the readers as they join Dorji on his
journey of love. The incidents and ambience created by the author was well
thought of making the readers feel as if they are a witness to the scene which
added to the star studded feature of the book.
Even though the name of the characters and
places (the native of Bhutan) seem to be attracting the readers at every point,
it also seem to be standing as a downfall of the book because for readers who
are not familiar with the Bhutanese names may seem to fumble with the names at
points creating a break at some points of the read.
The narrating style, according to me,
could’ve been articulated a bit more which could’ve resulted in a more
interesting read for every reader. At a few places I felt that scenes are a bit
stretched unnecessarily or the scene could’ve been written in a better way. All
these small mistakes here and there made the readers read very slowly reducing
the rating of the book. The end was pretty nice as compared to the whole book,
giving a strong message with it! To this book, a onetime read, I would like to
give a 3.5.
