This story of first love with a happily ever after ending will make you smile even with tears in your eyes. Fresh out of IIM-Ahemdabad, excitedly, she moved to Mumbai to join her first job. What could be more thrilling than living an independent life in a big city, alone in a friend's apartment? She had many dreams and had prepared a long list. Weirdly, a stranger began striking them off - one after another. Did he know? He was a young and handsome bachelor - head of the office next door. This man of outdated principles was an unintentional heartbreaker. He broke every heart which was given to him - in college & then at work. Will the curse of broken hearts let him remain happy? Classmates, BFFs, colleagues, & subordinates do flirt harmlessly - They are humans who need to laugh the stress away. Unfortunately, cupid can strike anywhere - studying together or working in teams. The trouble begins when he hits only one of the two lovers. Then, hearts ache or break. The characters of the novel: Hriday: means heart in Hindi. An IIT engineer & Emory MBA heads the Indian operations of an MNC. The software giant employs 200 youngsters, smart & intelligent, so definitely good-looking. The CEO has a posh three-bedroom apartment, a Ducati motorbike, & a fat paycheck, but he is single, despite his pleasing personality. Simplicity, purity of thought, & good work ethic have kept him a bachelor. Jiniya: means flower in Bengali. True to her name, she is as desirable as a morning rose. We don't know much about her! Why? She is a pretty compulsive liar. We know about her being well educated, fresh post-graduate, & starting a career in a private finance company. The unmarried nymph admits that she lies! Find out why? Gurnoor: is a feminine Sikh name (light of God). This Punjabi Jat is number two in Hriday's office. The efficient coder, bubbly entertainer, & magnetic charmer had zero fat on her well-toned hourglass figure. When she was a student, this mesmerizing beauty had the nickname Tornado. Why? Da Ji: in mythology, was a favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang in China. A classic example of how a beautiful woman can cause the downfall of a dynasty. Our Da Ji has European genes in her. The British brunette is not like her Chinese namesake. Or is she? Jugnu: a fitness freak villager from Agra. Thanks to his stock-picking skills, he is Warren Buffet in the making. Married to a homemaker Asha, he stays with his parents in a villa. Careful! He is Hriday's BFF. Rocky (Jiniya's elder brother), Feku Sabmekov (Russia), Nirek, Vibhi, Wafa, & Elizabeth (American) are spices that flavor the ingredients of this LzeroVE STORY drama. Roll Over Beethovens (Chuck Berry) & Every Breath You Take (Police) are the music & song which inspire our musicians & singers. Drew Barrymore in 50 First Dates is the dreamgirl.

Happiness is a hollow world for fools to inhabit cries Meena at a moment of revelation. Revelations come to her frequently and prophecies linger at her lips.
