Music, escape, and the risks of love

Raj Singh’s path runs from a violent home in Lucknow to homelessness in Mumbai, where music becomes the basis for a new life. The description places that rise alongside the support of Gul and Dev, then shifts to Raj’s encounter with Maya during a world tour. His hesitation about love connects the novel’s coming-of-age journey to questions of trust, hardship, and the possibility of loss. The route from Lucknow to Mumbai and Amsterdam gives the story a wide geographic frame, while Raj’s pursuit of music and struggle to leave violence behind anchor it in personal change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in stories of personal reinvention and escape from domestic violence.
  • Readers drawn to fiction centered on music, friendship, and romantic uncertainty.
  • Readers looking for a narrative that moves between India and Amsterdam.

Book overview

After graduating from the Doon Academy for Boys, Rajveer (Raj) Singh, an aspiring musician, returns home to domestic violence.

One evening, Raj is compelled to flee from his home in Lucknow to escape from his cruel father and brother. Homeless on the streets of Mumbai, Raj triumphs as a successful musician with the encouragement of a kind sex worker, Gul, and an aspiring chef, Dev.

During his first world tour, Raj meets Maya, an inspiring and determined girl in Amsterdam who captivates his heart. Yet, Raj is afraid to fall in love with Maya because of the tribulations that love may unleash, as love can encompass hardships, heartbreak and loss. Raj attempts to forget Maya, but certain feelings can't be evaded.
