The first thing that came to my mind reading the title of the novel "Heart Of Bullets" was bravery and pain. Though dying for the nation is pride for every soldier and his/her family, the body wrapped in the tricolour always brings tears in the eyes of the people.
This pain must be felt by every countrymen and the sacrifices made by soldiers must always be remembered.
Heart of Bullets is the story about two best friends, Arpan and Sameer who are the soldiers of Indian Army. Both of them are childhood friends and are best companion to each other. A girl, Shradha comes into the lives of both these friends and takes away the hearts of both of them. But the girl falls in love with Sameer and Arpan becomes a one-sided lover.
The story starts with Arpan narrating the incident about his latest fight with the terrorist before visiting the family for a vacation. On the second day he goes to meet his childhood friend, Shradha. While he was talking with her, suddenly he recieved a call for immediate reporting at the camp.
Why was Arpan asked for immediate reporting in the camp?
What changes does Shardha bring in when Sam falls for her?
Will they end up together or remain seperated forever?
Why does Shradha's father consume poison?
Did Arpan really sacrifice his love?
Why did Sam and Arpan join the Indian army?
At the end, who will sacrifice his love or will betrayal lead to the end of their friendship?
You will know the answers to all the questions in your mind once you read this beautiful novel.
The story starts at a very slow pace in the beginning which should have been avoided. A story should always be written such the reader doesn't feel boredom reading it which I felt in the beginning. But the way in which the author ends the story is marvellous and mindblowing. I have read very few stories which has such a beautiful ending as was in this case.
Moreover I would like to bring the attention of the author on spelling mistakes and sentence construction. Though I am not a hardliner at it, but writing/printing peace instead of piece or vice-versa is just a big blunder which must have been surely avoided with proper editing.
Overall it is a good rom-com read with full of action just like a bollywood movie. Simply awesome. I would like to recommend this book to everyone especially those who like reading books about the lives of Soldiers and those who want to take a dip into their childhood days.
