Picture

THE STORY ....

“I’m not drunk – just a litt-le high.”

Picture
On a magical moonlit night, Jai and Anusha meet and fall in love. When they meet again however, they discover that Jai is the crass capitalist developing Rasa Vihar, the heritage building that Anusha and her NGO are fighting to protect. Inevitably they clash, with neither willing to concede to the other. The problem is that although publicly they are enemies, in private, they are wildly attracted to each other. – but when secrets and betrayals enter the equation – things really begin to get out of control.

Review and Spotlight on Against All Odds by Jazz Singh


 
Against All Odds
by 
Jazz Singh 
 
 
The Blurb

The first time they collide, he thinks she’s a con artist, she believes he’s an arrogant snob.


It takes several meetings to change their minds about each other, but eventually, Abhimanyu and Sanjana strike up a friendship that seems destined to turn into something more. He’s a rich successful businessman, however, and she’s a small-town girl who doesn’t fit into his glittering world; a fact that Abhimanyu’s mother has taken pains to point out.


Will they ever overcome the odds, or are their lives on parallel tracks, never destined to cross?



MY Review

Against all Odds talks about the probability of what life could throw at us. 

This story is about a young couple Sanjana and Abhi, who meet by chance, and keep bumping into each other accidentally. These coincidental meetings make them fall for each other, and even though the girl tries hard to avoid him, he is right there even though by chance. This attraction can then no longer hold its reins, and they fall head over heels with each other, defying the society and their rules.

Until one day!

An incident broke Sanjana's heart, and she distanced herself from Abhi. But, then fate had plans for them, and they met in an awkward situation which turned beautiful like old times, after they cleared their inhibitions and opened all barricades that were misunderstood. This resulted in them uniting, and since love was in the air, the parents rejoiced irrespective of the thick line of class defined by society. 

The Author highlighted a major hurdle that Indian Society faces when two lovers of different societal group unite. She brought it out in a neat fashion without digging deep the ugliness that is usually associated with it. The story is neatly woven with some classic elements such as Respect, Freedom, Status, Ego, and Forgiveness thus, making it a worthy read. The ingredients are well kneaded into the story line making it light and breezy.

Dear Readers,Jazz Singh is one of the most illusive writers I have met. So respecting her need for privacy we have not asked her for a profile picture or a writeup. Long back, when I had first interacted with her.. I had asked her the reason behind this. Her answer was… I want to be known for my work. All I can say to that is… She will be…
