Review of Udai Yadla's Book: 

Review of Udai Yadla' s "A Walk In The Rain"

Story: Love is elixir that keeps you alive. Love is poison that kills you. An unreciprocated love keeps you alive but kills you everyday. These are the lines with which the blurb of the book begins. It is a story of Saloni and Sunny and their love story. Sunny is a guy who lives a life which is absolutely reclusive in nature. He spends each second of his life busy being comfortable in his memories. He is a lonesome boy whom you will find next door. Sunny however refuses to take hold of the present.
Saloni on the other hand is the woman of the night. She is a prostitute, desperate only to earn money. She does not care about exploiting others to fulfill her purpose.

The most important part of this novel is the magic of rain. When fate unites Sunny and Saloni, their journey of love and redemption starts.
Climax portion: Sunny runs after Sandy, the love of his love, but suddenly she moves out of his life. Lonesome Sunny was in the state of the superlative of lonely. He was haunted by his past for twenty years. Memories passed by him and washed him just like rain, incapable to remove them. His friend Imran promises to change Sunny's life forever. He plans a surprise birthday party for Sunny but a tragedy occurs. Imran gets killed by a stranger. His calm life turns into a distressed turbulent storm. His reluctant alliance with Saloni, the prostitute sets him onto a nerve racking adventure of life and death.

Language: With extremely flowery and simple decorating words the novel stands out from the rest. Udai Yadla' s debut work is a must read. The storyline itself draws the readers towards the climax and then till the end. The way the prologue starts and the sentence, ' Hah...my job is now complete' is an absolute new form in writing.

Review: The book in true words is an adventure. It is highly engaging, deeply impactful and lovable. Udai Yadla's affectionate first work. The sentences like 'I owe you an apology. I kept you in the dark'  will stir your heart for sure.
