Alchemy of Desire

"Love is not the greatest glue between two people. Sex is. "

This was the first line and I was shocked! I never really expected such a bold line at the very beginning. the role of sexual attraction in the love life is something not many people feel comfortable talking about. The ex- chief editor of Tehelka surely did a tremendous job in this case. 

First 100-150 pages are slow and I wasn't really sure where it was heading to. However the narrative is brilliant and I was just enjoying that. Suddenly the layers started unfolding a beautiful and thrilling journey of a wanna be writer. A person who has tried and failed a lot of times to write a novel and suddenly his life starts changing. He got trapped within piles of notebooks and words. It is a journey towards one's psyche. You can see and feel the deepest desires of your own through this story.
