My Take
Starting from the cover and title of the book is apt according to the plot. Title is very interesting. It is not difficult to guess the book from the book’s title and cover page, that this book is a great collection of struggles and inspirations.
The book is blend of emotions, love, friendship, thriller, passion, drama, mystery, satire and realism, success, failures, betrayal, modern criticism, dream, family, struggles, adventures and many more. The plot is unique and different from the most Indian writer’s write.
Rasiq is an investment banker who is struggling hard with new job work pressure which is not allowing him to sleep or any time for family or friends. He is very busy with the corporate world doing hard tasks, day and night to earn a large amount of money as his salary. On the other hand it is because he is recruited as single person in place of five bankers. After struggling for two years as a banker, he finally quit the job for following his passion and start his own business. He faced lot’s of torches from his father’s side for resigning the well paid job and forces to Rasiq to find a new job. On the morning of a small argument with his father on his carrier and future he leaves the home and drives the bike crazily and ended up at a small accident. From there he get’s an idea of starting a business on safety.
I don’t daydream, I dare to dream. That makes me a DAREDREAMER.
Rasiq start-up Daredreams Pvt. Ltd. with a team of five super talented peoples with unique quality Nick a crazy inventor and also afriend from his college, Dr Vyom a medical expert, Arjun a champion shooter, Natasha a Bollywood stunt double, Halka a strongman.
To know more what happened next grab the book.
Language of the book is lucid and written in a simple way to comprehend for any kind of reader. A book which won’t require the use of a dictionary, a book which evens an amateur reader would love to get indulged in. It’s a Bollywood type story. The author has portrayed each and every character with utmost significance of their own and every one of them has done justice to their respective roles throughout the story. The narration of the story is gripping though predictable at some times and unreal-table in few places. The story is fast paced. Father-son duo had beautifully crafted about entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs, start-ups, business achievements and the revolving relationships and the struggles the faced.
Overall an engaging read with twist and turns like Hindi Masala Movies.
