Let's start reviewing about the book.

The story begins with the introduction of the painter and the sale of his famous painting. After the sale of his painting for huge amount, entire world is waiting for his next masterpiece. But he was not able to create or complete any new painting because of some reasons. 

During that time his teacher founds him and she started to bring back his capability to older form. So, she took Rajiv Arora to one of the beautiful river side place in Assam. There she was already training a another child to bring another famous painter similar to Rajiv Arora. Then Rajiv teacher found that he was not able to complete any painting because of his earlier incomplete painting of a beautiful girl.

The story ends how he was able to complete his incomplete painting and how he is trying hard to complete that painting. There are few reasons for this incomplete painting. The beauty of Assam and river view were well expressed in the flash read. Also, the girl presence was only for short span of time but it had a huge impact. During the end how the painter was struggling with lot of tears to complete the painting were also expressed well in the story.  

This was the second flash read I am reading from Himanshu. Overall it's a flash read and it can be completed in an hour but few pages will keep you engaged in the story. Final few pages were well written and  all the scenes were expressed beautifully with words. Also it clearly conveys how some personal incidents deeply affecting our mind/mental health. 

 

Love Reading...!!               Keep exploring..!!
