 Tagged for life review: ∞ Karan Malhotra x Ahana Mukherjee  “Are you sure that all dreams come true?” She questioned me. “Most of them come true if wished in the proper way.” I replied.  "Sometimes Love can happen at the first instance, one need not spend ages to get connected"  "He and me are two spirits, one heart, We may remain away, but never apart, Our story is like a never ending tale, I'll never be able to love anyone like this again." This book is my very first reading by the author Aditya Nighhot. Aditya Nighhot’s writing is very simple & easy to understand. It’ll captivate you from its very end. I was very intrigued by reading the blurb & started reading it. The blurb initially set the stage for what seemed like a classic Bollywood movie plot. Karan Malhotra, the son of a renowned filmmaker, encounters Ahana Mukherjee, a determined middle-class girl with aspirations of independence and success. Ahana's scepticism towards love contrasts sharply with Karan's upbringing, where he yearns for affection in the midst of opulence, owning luxurious sports cars that others can only dream of. The story of Karan and Ahana in this book is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with many ups and downs, twists and turns, and moments of separation and reunion. What is love for you? Do you believe it? For me, yes I do believe in love, that “janmo janmo ka pyaar”. This book will take you through it. And this books talk exactly about that kind of love. The first love. The love that makes you want to change. For better or for worse, is upto for you to decide. This one portrays the very Bollywood essence of a love story right from the beginning till the end. The elements? Trying to shatter Patriarchy with a strong female character, street food competitions, college romance and projects, supportive best friends, rich and middle-class conflict and my favourite- Airport scene. The story revolves around two individuals from contrasting backgrounds, each carrying their own set of dreams, aspirations, and beliefs. Ahana, an aspiring author, is struggling to find success in her writing career while harbouring a deep-rooted opposition to the concept of love. On the other hand, Karan, despite his life of wealth and privilege, feels a void within himself and yearns for true happiness. With time, their love started to blossom. While Karan had been smitten with her from the beginning, Ahana, too, found her heart leaning towards him. However, life's twists took an unexpected turn when, during their farewell, Karan gathered the courage to confess his feelings, only to learn that Ahana had received an offer from a foreign publishing house, asking her to move to New York. It was painful decision but, she chose her career over their love, causing their story to pause. Five years later, destiny intervened, bringing them face to face once again. But would this couple find their way back to each other? Would they finally attain their happily ever after? Or did fate have different plans in store? A must read!
