“Pyar Laphzo Mein Kaha…” by Pooja Shrivastava is a heartfelt debut novel that beautifully captures the essence of love in its most genuine and passionate form. This emotional narrative explores the lengths to which people go to preserve their relationships in today’s fast-paced world, offering readers a touching glimpse into the undying spirit of love.
At the heart of the story are Smita, a spirited and compassionate lawyer, and Pranav, a courageous army officer. Their worlds couldn’t be more different, yet fate entwines their paths in a way that’s both unexpected and unforgettable. Through their journey, the novel explores the tender nuances of love, trust, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to hold on when everything seems to fall apart. The relationship between the characters is portrayed with deep emotion, and the warmth of familial bonds and brotherly affection adds richness to the narrative. The author draws a charming analogy—likening her characters to bunches of jamun: sometimes sweet, sometimes tangy—making them relatable and real.
Although fictional, the story stems from the author’s personal observations and emotional experiences, lending authenticity and depth to every chapter. The vivid storytelling makes it feel as though the scenes are unfolding right in front of your eyes, pulling the reader into the world of Smita and Pranav with every page.
