- No Matter What . . . I will always love you!

This story ‘No matter what‘ by Author Rohit Dawesar is a carefully crafted love story that happens between two people, who take care of every nuance in their relationship, nurture it and grow it. It is equivalent to growing a plant or a garden which starts from the sowing of a seed-stage until it bores a flower or a fruit. Such stories are honest, intense, and are blended with responsibility and conduct. In this book, the protagonist’s Rishi and Mishika are people with clarity of life, clarity in thoughts, and transparent in their emotional quotient. However, intense the character portrayal, both are always teenagers at their heart. The story, like in every love story starts from college life, but the intelligence of the Author’s writing takes off from the moment both the characters meet. The feelings Mishika expresses when she actually meets Rishi is genuine and sweet. The phrase ‘actually meets’ holds importance here. Only if the story is read, it will be understood. The story is a balanced mixture of romance, humor, mystery, and social responsibility. Also, this story focuses on some fundamental issues that society faces. There are situations in the story that question humanity. There are also scenes in the story that reflect the attitude of the society on the flip side. The story also has sweet moments, cute encounters, convincing descriptions, and thought-provoking circumstances.

What should I say about this love story ? This is the most beautiful love story I have read in some years. The best part of this book is the way the story is narrated. The author- Rohit , has penned this in an excellent style, which made reading easy and interesting and intriguing. Here are two love birds, Rishi & Mishika , who are entwined in the "love forever" tag actually. After Mishi's disappearance, even her family gives up hope but this guy Rishi, he doesn't and that's called actually love. I fell in love with the opening line in the book- Why do we love someone ? Isn't that a question to which none of us have a reply! Yes .. no one has the answer to why we suddenly start loving someone and make them our universe & we live to spend our life with him / her. The author has explained in a wonderful way by giving a simple example of when we go shopping and suddenly our hear rests on one particular thing and that's it.. we only want 'that one particular ' thing. Same is for love. We just chose one person .. There's a line on page 21 " I don't know and isn't it true ? It's actually true. I don't know is the actual answer by default when we are in short of words. Another one is corrupt our heart .. I found it an awesome. Our heart is corrupted by the one we love. VJ and Mishi's friendship is just so sweet. VJ helps her to get back to life, which is an example of true friendship. Rarely do we see such bonding. And the climax is wonderful. In short, this is a must read love story.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Right since the Prologue in Rishi's word, the book had kept me hooked. I read it practically in less then 24 hours🙈 The unfolding of Mishika's disappearance from Chapter 13, was an emotional roll-coaster. It was an overwhelming experience. I have cried along the pages. What's beautiful is, how you have conveyed an important message through this book. It's not about being a Victim to the circumstances of life, but being a Warrior and fighting those battles. I instantly felt connected to the lead characters(Rishi & Mishi) all through the book, primarily because there were multiple thought-provoking questions either in the start or in between the chapters. I had expected the book to be an out-and-out rom-com, ideal for light reading, but the plot twist was a game-changer. I am still in Mishika and Rishi's hangover. As a reader, I would love for Rohit Sir to keep writing more such heart-warming stories.

Exploring "No matter what" was like a journey for me. A journey which I started with confused, disheartened Rishi, and ended with the most charming couple, Rishi-Mishi! ❣️ This novel has all my heart right now. I actually loved the way you have portrayed Rishi's and Mishika's love for each other. The chapterwise narration by both the lovebirds gave me an insight of what real love might feel like. I just liked the first meet of the couple, which is more like a supposed-to-be thing. I could actually imagine every scene right in front of my open eyes, including the Goa trip, Rishi cancelling his Delhi plan at the last minute just for Mishika, they realizing their love again right outside the airport, their first meet during the college activity, their squad singing together "Rishi-Mishi-Kissi", the couple's visit to the Spiti valley, the demise of Mishika's mom, Rishi coming to visit Mr. Jaitley and Rashmi Aunty, Pallavi aunt's tiffin, Rishi dying to have Mishika back, Rishi bringing smile on little Asha's face by gifting her his own watch, Mishika escaping the farmhouse along with Inayat, and the final "I-got-my-Mishika-back" moment! This book is truly a roller-coaster of emotions. The speech given by Rishi in Pyara Singh's wedding actually tells a lot of truth about our society! Indeed, she isn't a victim, she is a warrior! And... how can I forget the friends like VJ, Ravin, Pyara Singh, Ira and a sweet girl like Kasturi, who actually agreed to help the love of her life to find his own love of life! These vibrant characters actually made me feel like its such a luck to have these kind of friends. This novel is a pure bliss! 😇❤✌ Congratulations on writing such a beautiful novel! May the good God bless you with greatest imaginations and may your pen bring many more novels for us! 🥰 -Swarada S. Panshikar

Have you ever loved your partner to the moon and back? Have you ever fallen in love with your partner again and again? Have you supported your partner no matter what he/she is or gone through? This book is all about it. Rishi and Mishika fall for each other again and again. From their graduation days to the rest of the life. On their engagement day, an unfortunate event happens and things take a turn. This is a love story with a suspense element and about societal judgements. But after some time, I got bored by the love for each other parts. If the drama between Rishi and Mishika is reduced a bit, the book will be a little more enjoyable. If looking for a light read between books, then one can go for it. I took around 5 hours spanning 6 days. A 300 pages at that.

‘No matter what…I will always love you!’ by Rohit Dawesar, is a love saga worth picking up for a romantic weekend. The journey of Rishi and Mishika not only shows you the strength of love, but also gifts you some long lasting life lessons. The story of wait, patience and acceptance of love is worth your hours to spend on. I just completed this book today and here is my spoiler free review on the book, discussing aspects of it: 1. Cover: We all judge a book by its cover though we all are told that we shouldn’t. I am fascinated by the book’s cover. The couple lost in a fervent kiss printed on a white background i.e., surrounded by denim blue splashes looks astonishing. Also, I loved the font used for the title. It’s perfectly suiting with the things around. 2. Writing style and narration: I found Rohit’s way of writing quaint from others. It was fun to read his smart humor and moreover, expression of love. One line that take considerable time to detach from my memory is: I miss you missing me like the soul misses its creator. Coming to narration, it was an engaging page turner throughout the read and didn’t bore me anywhere except for a few scenes that felt cliched and unnecessarily dragged. Both Rishi’s and Mishika’s perspectives were there that made story way more transparent and lucid to understand. Character development was done very realistically. You will not find anything unnecessarily added. 3. Story: One word? Beautiful! Story studded with love will make you ride on a roller coaster of emotions. Not only the protagonists, Rishi and Mishika, but also the supporting characters were so likeable. I would love to bring Pyaara Singh, VJ and Inayat home and have lugdi (horse’s piss, haha) with them. You don’t need to think too much before picking this one. It is, indeed, a beautiful book that feels like it was needed to be written. Go get yourself a dose of love, inspiration and motivation.

Good quality paper

I loved the bond Rishi and Mishika shared, I like how the story develops, slow and beautifully, how slowly the love gets even deeper, I could feel the love sink into their skin, with every turning page it grows deeper. The plot...perfect....the background characters.....wonderful.
