Thousands let their tears flow when Ravinder Singh decided to open his heart. The whole India bathed in the colors of Shiva when Amish narrated his trilogy. People from almost every state attended the marriage of Krish and Ananya (Two States – Chetan Bhagat)
While ‘A Monk Who Sold His Ferrari’ inspires people to lead a simple and spiritual life, Maria (Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho) – a prostitute – makes the people believe that true love comes to you, provided you never stop desiring and dreaming it.
