    Author has very well illustrated the purest form of  love. All the Characters of the story are very well developed, I especially the character development of Ravi. The narration is easy and free flowing. Book explore various concept like romance, friendship bond, commitment issues, parental love. also the book is a complete package of humor, love, journey, self discovery, suspense, grief etc. I really loved how author has depicted how love does not always have to be romantic. The book has the capacity to leave an emotion person in tears. The story is simple with enough captivating elements.

     Even thought the story is good, it feels like author has tried too hard to give a Bollywood touch.

Conclusion: I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romantic comedy.
Rating: Its 4.5/5 for me.

About the Author: Sameen Hassain was born and brought up in kakinada, Andrapradesh. He started his writing journey by publishing few short stories in anthologies. Love, lost and found is his debut novel.

Few sentence(quotable) I highlighted during my read:

1. Ma is Ma, you may hurt her; you may even make her cry, but her love for you never wavers. That definitely is the purest of emotions in this entire universe.

2. We fall and we rise, moving forward all the while.

3. While the poor blame the rich,the rich focus on being rich. The don't concern themselves with the affairs of others. If you're born poor, it's not your fault, but if you die poor, it definitely is your fault.

4. What differentiates the rich from the poor is discipline and dedication. If they master these two qualities, they will succeed for sure one day. It may take time but it happens. 

5.Success doesn't have a manufacturing and expiry date. It's not magic either. It's conscious effort.

6. some may go sooner that others, while those left behind have to tolerate life without them.

Head that wears the crown

  It’s funny how, over the years, I’ve moved through a handful of bosses probably five or six by now and, if I’m being honest, I never really liked any of them. I mean, who does, right? But recently, the disdain I’ve held for them has slowly shifted to something more like pity. Maybe it’s just a natural shift that happens as you gain experience, or maybe it’s the result of certain events. Either way, it’s been on my mind lately. For as long as I can remember, the go-to office pastime has always been “bashing the boss.” You know, that whole ritual of gossiping about their quirks, criticizing their decisions, or poking fun at their management style. And in a way, it’s a bonding activity for colleagues a way to release stress and feel like we’re all in the same boat. But recently, an old Gujarati saying has been sticking with me: “ પીપળ પાન ખરતાં હસતી કુંપળીયાં , મુજ વીતી તુ જ વીતશે , ધીરી બાપુડીયાં …” (Translation: As the old leaves of the peepal tree fall, the younger ...

THE FINAL PAYMENT

  Indra stretched lazily on his bed, watching “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma” on his phone; he had been doing that for a whole day now. His daughter had promised him a set of his favourite books; they should have reached him by now, but the hospital staff had become very strict with the rapid rise in the number of cases. He had been reading stories of how rapidly the virus spread through one’s body; however, he felt just fine except for slight breathing difficulties. He wondered what all the fuss was about. With that thought, the oxygen monitor started to beep; his O2 monitor showed 94. He remembered nurses talking to each other about how O2 should be maintained above 95. He thought to himself, “ I should relax a bit. Good thoughts, Indra. Think good thoughts!” And with that, his mind wandered to the construction of his new farmhouse, a project he'd been planning for years. With his retirement just around the corner, he had envisioned spending his golden years there with his w...
