Two people, when in love, dream and crave to stay together, forever. For some, dreams become reality; for few others, destiny has other plans – shattering their dreams into pieces, separating the lovers, and destroying their lives in the process. Nothing Between Us... is one such love story. Siddharth fell in love with his childhood friend Avantika, and dreamt of spending the rest of his life by her side. Everything was working in his favour, before destiny decided against it and intervened. Heart-broken, Siddharth gathers pieces of broken dreams from his soul, unable to move on from the past that brought his life on the crossroads, and him face to face with Kaya. She too loves Siddharth, and dreams of a future with him. But she cannot fathom a way to resist and overcome the battle between his heart and conscience. Battling the demons of the past, and desperately trying to build up a new relationship with Kaya, Siddharth’s trials are never-ending, because destiny plays its cards. Will Siddharth be able to move on and make a fresh beginning with Kaya?

In the travelogues section I have tried to provide a visual representation of my tours. All of my trips were road trips and I singlehandedly drove my car to different difficult destinations along with my wife and son. Be it Kathmandu and Pokhara, Thimphu and Paro or Tawang and Darjeeling all trips were to hilly terrain. In the anecdotes section I have remembered some incidents associated with my life. “Sleeping Driver’’, ’’Meat Misery’’ and ‘’Water Worries’’ are of humorous genre. Other write ups are about memories of my late parents, my school days, my college days, and my work life and last but not the least my saviours during my distress. Hope you will enjoy reading this small effort from me and shower blessings upon me.

About the book - Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is an Indo -Anglian novelist belonging to Europe by virtue of birth but settled in India by virtue of marriage. This book is a study of three novels of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala: A Backward Place, A New Dominion and Heat and Dust and deals with cultural cross currents and the problem of betwixt and between identities faced by the characters of Jhabvala. Jhabvala herself faced cultural cross currents and the problem of betwixt and between identity while staying in India and she portrayed the same in her fiction. Though she made this country her home for about a quarter of a century, but she views India and Indian characters from the lens of a foreigner. This book divides the European characters into three categories: Firstly there are the European seekers seeking love, peace and spirituality in India. Second category is of the users or suckers who live in India just to thrive on the benevolence of the rich Indians. The third group belonging to this trio is of the temporary visitors who come to India with an aim to interpret her mysteries but fail to understand real India. All these characters become betwixt and between personalities belonging neither to the East nor to the West.
