Do you love to read about various cultural cross overs? If the answer is "Yes", then this book is definitely a good choice. Though, it explores Indian and US way of living, doing business and other aspects, people from various other cultures can also relates to the same, as human emotions are almost similar everywhere. I read the book and found some of the fantastic stuff explored in it despite of its own shortcomings. Well, very frankly speaking, talking about a book and giving it a few stars out of 5 or 10, is quite different than writing a book. The later requires much more efforts and dedication. However, a genuine and unbiased review provides a third person's views for the book from neutral perspective and readers often use it for their purchase decisions. So here are my views for this book.
The Plot:
Anant is a talented and aspiring boy from a small town from India. His friendship with Madhura doesn't have to do anything with their economic status. And, it shouldn't as both of them belongs to quite opposite economic status. One thing is common amongst them and that is their love for the study.
After completing the initial stage of study with higher grades, Anant decided to stay there itself and do something which can lead him to be helpful to his family. Madhura is planning to explore the horizon and she insisted Anant to do the same. Eventually, she was able to convince Anant to move to a mega city and expand his wings too.
They both performed as per their expectations in higher studies also. And then come a day when Madhura was meeting Anant and she was ready to take their bond of friendship to the relation of lifetime. Anant, however, had other plans. He sensed opportunities in the field of Information Technology and upcoming Y2K problem. So, he attended computer classes and applied for a Visa to USA. And, he was granted the same as he got a job there!
So, Madhura is on the receiving side of her own advice to Anant. What will happen to their relation now? Will Anant go to the USA? Will he perform better there? Will there be any other love story to explore? Will Anant meet Madhura again? How their lives takes turns from this point and whom they meet in their respective journeys is explored in the book in interesting manner, and you should read it to get the answers :).
Views and Reviews:
Being a data scientist and working in IT field, Sudarshan himself has experienced the life in the USA and India and thus the book gives you an authentic account of the same. The author, however, clears that it is not his own story.
The characters are developed in an effective manner. You can see the authentic portrayal of real-life people, rather than any filmy portrayal. The book explores the pros and cons of both the material and minimal lifestyle. While reading this book you can see how Anant feels when he lands in Mumbai for the first time and how he feels when he saw beggars in the USA. The book has many cultural crossovers to witness, be it Hindu-Muslim intercaste marriage, second marriage of the father and its impact on his children, the perks of living in a joint family,
When reading this book I am sure you will find the following interesting:
The way the Indian engineers are regarded in foreign countries.
The way Sameera refers her children as her most precious jewels.
Here are some of the interesting lines from the book:
It feels like we have been living in a five-star hotel for years and missing the warmth, ups and downs of a home.

For a frog who hops out of the well, every new experience brings immense joy! Even a butterfly seems like a miracle of life…

Rating:
I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Book Title: Love Trumps All
Author: Sudarshan Mahabal
Format: Paper Back
Total Number of Pages: 374
Published By : LeadStart Publishing pvt. ltd
Published Year: 2017
ISBN-10: 9352019911
ISBN-13: 978-9352019915
Book Title:
The book title ' Love Trumps All ' is new & interesting.
Book Cover :
The book cover is an interesting image of the famous spiritual symbol, Ying-Yang, in which the Ying is represented with The American Flag and The Statue of Liberty, and on the other side of Yang, it's the Indian Flag and The Taj Mahal. Two hearts together is very beautiful. The word 'Trumps' in the title is apt as everyone knows the reason!
Plot:
It appears to be arrogant and anti-Indian to say that India is rife with caste system, it’s hard to have basic social respect unless you’re highly qualified and have a high paying white collar job. Otherwise, your neighbors and relatives will care about where you go after work. , you are judged. Every educated individual in this country is very much aware about these facts. This is one of the main reasons why many individuals almost from 3 decades have chosen to move away from India and settle down in land of Uncle Sam i.e. USA. Why only USA? America is the land of the free. Everybody is treated equally. The institutions put in place, take discrimination very seriously. You will never be shamed anywhere. And this was coined as 'Brain Drain'.
Here, in the book, the author mainly has sculpted five characters who live across these two nations. Each character has some distinctive life stories back and forth. The main plot revolves around things like career, life, religion, cultural differences, relationships, immigration, citizenship and many more such aspects that usually NRIs converse about.
There are some really very emotional moments that the author has excelled in explaining. At times, every reader who is either an NRI or a relative or a family member of an NRI feels like a real incident is illustrated. Few sequences narrated will have a very profound impact on a reader's mind. Not only the incidents between people who migrated from India to USA but one of the five characters being a friend of an Indian national visiting India and its neighboring countries are very interestingly narrated.
Really appreciate the author for taking up such subject and making it an interesting read
Characters:
The characters in the book look like they are almost adapted from real life people.
Narration:
The narration in the book is very close to reality.

My Final Verdict—
