      From what I can see, author Jyoti Arora proves to be different. It is a humiliation to question her talent. I am proclaiming this not because she is a thalassemia patient or because of her flashy post graduate degree in English literature. If you read her novels like I did, you will know why I am saying this. There are numerous truths which can’t be questioned because they are facts.



      All her novels gives a social message that gives a tight slap to today’s people letting them know where they stand. It will make everyone to do some soul search. I bought her first novel after being gifted her last two novels and got a chance to review it.



      Dream’s sake is a novel that describes the life of Aashi, Abhi, Sid, Priyam and Raj. They all have a past that shook their life (except for Raj) and it haunts them even today. In times of trouble, see which of your relatives or friends stick to your side. They will stick with you and show the world that they support you but the words that come out of their mouth, is it true? Words can lie but actions won’t.



      What is the one issue with this world of ours is that many people believe money can buy happiness whether it is swindling other people’s money or creating their own wealth. Once they die, will they take this money with them or bury their money in their grave is a question which they will not answer because they are downright idiots. Some rich people have already enough but they want more. Aashi, Abhi and his sister priyam’s lives gives us a glimpse of the ugly side of some false relatives.



      In every family, there is one or two members like these people. Personally, in my own family, there are family members who are like that of Aashi’s and Raj’s mother . When even our parents support our life’s big decision such as marriage and wait for the right time, these relatives or friends think, they have the right to be nosy and make decisions for us and choose our life partner out of selfish reasons.



      Their choice of partners characters doesn’t jibe with our own all the time. Will they take responsibility if our life takes a bad turn?. They motivate us to sacrifice our life and make lot of adjustments. False pride and cheap attitudes cloud the minds of some annoying relatives and evil parents like Raj’s mother. If it is true our parents are innocent, relatives/friends plot in wicked ways to use them for their benefit to the maximum.



      In Abhi’s and his sister’s case, their relatives thinking was simply gross and intolerable.Their own sibling has died and their niece and nephew are orphaned. If they don’t have the courage to be big hearted, at least people must have dignity. What kind of pleasure will they get by depriving the children of their dead brother’s savings is a thought that will make reader’s blood boil with rage particularly hurting the feelings of their nephew who has just been crippled?



      Most of the time, there is neither sincerity nor genuineness in certain relatives or friends. Only secret agenda. Greed and jealousy overpowers all other good things. It can feel like I am bragging, then I will ask, have you read newspapers?. I also feel she has exaggerated a tidbit.


      Sid’s character is adorable but silly. Adultery by parents must be forgiven if they are desperate to mend the bridges. Her mother’s tragic end explains the height of foolishness of young women though his fondness for standing up for what is right is much appreciated. The new revelation will make the readers get angry.



      After reading the novel, I am in a complicated position to describe my thoughts about this exceptionally clever story. Dream’s sake will make you aware of the people around you. It will open your eyes and tell you what kind of person you are and what kind of people those you are talking to.



      So you can assume I liked the novel. All the characters are relatable. Personal favorite is Abhi who reminds me of Nick Vujicic except his disability is not that deep. When you read the book, you can’t help getting attracted to his cheerful and positive outlook towards life even when there are innumerable reasons to be pessimistic but his innocence is a put off.



      If the author has explored more on Sid and Priyam’s love story, it would have been great. A strong, bold, decent and righteous man is every good woman’s dream. I had goose bumps when Priyam cried in his arms. Then there is Aashi, selfish and impatient, I wanted to hate her but then her past comes in front of my eyes, so it was justifiable and also equally unjustifiable. This is not a happy ending story.



      If you are weak hearted, you might shed some tears and blame the author for such a bad ending. Some readers may feel good people such as Abhi, Priyam, Sid, and Raj don’t exist even if they do they may live in different parts of the world not together. The point is, she has put in all these lovely people in one book as it is a direct attempt to inspire people. She also put the bad people. If you are super rich, you either be like Mr. Vardhan, Raj or Sid. If you are crippled, learn from Abhi. If you are a home bird be like Priyam. Aashi is a bad influence.



      For certain reasons, what if Mr. Stubbornly righteous Sid and Ms. Enthusiastic dreamer Aashi fell in love with each other by fate and make other people’s life not so hard than it already is. They could teach each other valuable lessons. Aashi feels money gives security whereas Sid though has helluva of money, he loathes it. Sid lives in the present whereas Aashi dreams about the future. Even if they have lot of fights, their relationship would be lively and interesting.



      Also what if Mr. Perfect Raj and Ms. Sweet Priyam ended up together? I felt like Sid didn’t love her truly as he has seen their friends suffer a lot, he is somehow burdened with responsibility to take care of Priyam. I believed Raj is not a gentleman, then he surprised me. Day and night working in secrecy to save the woman he once loved from making a fatal mistake even knowing she will never love him as he does speaks gentlemanly of him. He is Mr. Perfect not Mr. Wrong as the book asserts in the beginning.



      All Priyam can give is unconditional love and affection. Raj will do almost anything if the woman who he is in love with reciprocates his feeling and strangely even if she doesn't. Of course, every girl in this world earns for a brother like Abhi. He deserves all the good things that the world can offer. We must accept life is not a fairy tale or is it? He has to be criticized for sacrificing much of his life.



      It seems the author had a little confusion in deciding who to make a hero. I will argue it is Raj not Abhi as the latter is insanely too good which makes him gullible even after he has the knack for reading people’s mind.



      Her writing is up to the mark I would say yet I feel she could have reduced the seriousness. You can feel the myriad of emotions expressed in the book. How much length will you go to make your dream come true? It is wonderful you are on your own. What if your stubbornness and selfishness costs the life of those who openly care for you? It will be too late when you wake up. In spite of the fact your dream can come true on condition it is realisable. You should be straightforward and not lie to those who support you unambiguously. For that, you need to first have lucid concept of goals. This is a moral message the book aims to give.

      Touching love story, well written.
