It is a warm summer day, and Nikunj is at the Muslim cemetery attending the burial of Saira. Saira is his true and long-lost love whom he had been looking for since the time of the earthquake. He had been on the look-out for her even though he has been married for a long time, and was not sure what he was going to do about it when he found her.
Summary of the Book
Nikunj is attending the burial of the love of his life, Saira. However he does not understand what Usman and Parmod are doing at her funeral. He did not know who Mumtaz and Gulab were though they seemed to have taken claim over Saira’s resting place. The book is an offbeat love story as it is between a living man and a dead person. It cannot be possible that they could ever have any kind of future together. We all know that ghosts cannot have children. However, this is questioned in this book. If ghost can walk through walls and reclaim bodies for themselves, then they can also cover that body with scars and marks. The possibilities in the afterlife are infinite.
