Sunshine Town


Shlok, a lanky teenager, a daydreamer, doesn't want much from his life. A dream to make his parents happy and affection of a neighbourhood sweetheart, Natasha. Though both are poles apart, their interests bring them close. Together, they experience new emotions. But, just when they are ready to acknowledge their feeling of love for each other, it is too late. The rapids of life set Shlok on an unexpected journey, and he realizes one can't always be in control of circumstances. Unable to crack an important entrance exam and geographical difficulties affecting his love life, Shlok's life goes through turbulent times. All the while, his faith in God ebbs and flows, but like a wave, it ends up breaking on the shore before returning to the sea. He is confronted with a perennial question-am I good enough for anything? Holding a mirror to himself, he is faced with a decision to give up on everything he thought was right for him. Set in Varanasi, a city in North India, during the late 90s, before the pervasiveness of technology, Sunshine Town is about the aspirations and emotional turmoil of being a teenager. This story deals with the themes of love, career, and personal fulfilment.

Awesome read

Its a good book according to me. As this is targeted for teens as well as adults who want to help their children appearing for any sort of examinations. The language is easy english, appealing to ones who are beginners at reading novels. Revolving around Shlok's academic failures and successes along with supporting characters like Natasha and Yana. Shlok's parents, Guruji and guide Mr.Pujari played key roles in the narrative, supporting him throughout the story I would strongly recommend this novel to students who are preparing for any entrance exam or those who failed in any entrance exam. Overall, its a delightful book!
