But it does not know our characters that well, and is not aware of their ‘we shall overcome’ spirit. Bring out the tissues, readers!Įach chapter is presented through the perspective of one character, and that includes Fate, who laughs and mouths platitudes while flexing its muscles to deal yet another blow to the protagonists. And the women? They bravely stand like staunch supporters behind their men with nary a thought for themselves. Vivaan’s dream collapses on his first outing with his new agency when he is hauled up for possessing drugs that have been planted in his bag by a customer. Kabir’s café burns down and he is in hospital with serious burns. Of course, in this whitewashed, squeaky-clean, alternate universe created by the author where there are only sweet, kind people with beautiful eyes, there has to be a villain.

She continues to be in love and a serious relationship (but with no strings like marriage attached) with Vivaan who is very excited and gung-ho about his new venture, a travel agency with a difference. Meera, the talented writer, is working on her next book for which she has a contract with a renowned publishing house.

Nisha raises their daughter while being the cliched support for her husband Kabir. Kabir has his café which is a home away from home for his eclectic customers who have become his extended family. Incredible! Some dosti, this.Īnyway, they all have their dreams and related stories. They are so in tune with each other that not only do the couples know what is going on in the other half’s mind but they can also instinctively understand what is happening in their friends’ minds. Their friendship is one to die for: the ye dosti hum nahi chhodenge kinds (pardon the filminess!). The four main cardboard characters - Meera, Vivaan, Kabir, and Nisha - continue to live in their misty rose-tinged world. They have moved on in their lives from the starter book in what may be a series in times to come. And Savi Sharma, after her first Everyone Has A Story, is confident enough to weave another one with the same characters in Everyone Has A Story – 2. But not everyone puts it down for the world to see and possibly read.
