A Drop of Dew

book synopsis/description:

Sand held loosely in our hands, holds on. But squeezed too tight, trickles through our fingers. So is it true of the relationships we share!

Saakshi's life is far from perfect. At twenty–seven, she is still unmarried, waiting for Mr. Right to walk into her life. This is when she meets Vipul. Young, energetic and romantic, his devil-may-care attitude brings in a sense of unpredictability into her life.

The unexpected arrival of a second baby has created an upheaval in Vipul and Navya's marital life. Loyalty towards his spouse is forgotten as Vipul sets himself free to explore the vistas of illicit affairs and liasons. Vipul strays down the alluring path with Saakshi for two full years, creating havoc and plunging his marital relationship into a dangerous realm.

Stuck in a monotonous grind, Inchara and Samar's seemingly happy marriage poses no challenges or excitement. This leaves a gaping hole in their lives where even the slightest change in routine is welcome. Inchara and Vipul meet accidently, as strangers. Extended telephone conversations arouse long-forgotten feelings, the sensation of being alive, of being heard and loved, helping soothe the jagged edges in their respective marriages.

Will Saakshi move on in life? Will Navya give Vipul a second chance and an opportunity to rebuild their marriage? Will Inchara and Samar salvage their marriage? Or will Vipul and Inchara give in to their temptation? What wins, in the conflict between the heart and the mind?
