About the Book: The story follows the intertwined lives of three friends—Rahul, Ajay, and Sundar—from their school days in Darjeeling through three decades of adulthood. The paths of the men diverge as they face individual crises: Rahul, a quiet boy with a haunted past, grapples with personal and professional failure; Ajay, a charming Bollywood aspirant, confronts heartbreak and fate; and Sundar, fiercely ambitious, achieves corporate success only to be ensnared in a web of deceit and betrayal. The climax occurs in 2015 when their paths dramatically cross again, not as friends, but as wounded men and corporate adversaries forced to reckon with their past choices.
