Blurb:
We all are sent to this planet to learn from each other. We all are connected.
Are you a dreamer? Do you dream to be a successful person? Do you know sometimes the pursuit of monetary success could take you away from you? Have you felt the pain of separation from your loved ones? Have you felt lost some point in your life?
This is a story about two people who lose the real treasures of their life in the pursuit of materialistic success and gratification.
Gautam changes his life by following his dreams. But along the way, his life transforms into a living nightmare that he resolves to finish.
Diksha is a young, brilliant, and headstrong person. Her dedication to be a perfect and sincere daughter, student, and employee turns her into an automaton.
When both of them lose their last hope, something inexplicable happens in their life, which eventually sets them on the path of Sanyas.
Can you give up your vain success to build an ever-lasting peace and tranquility within you?
Can you stand tall and fight back your fears?
Can you be a Sanyasi?
Gear up to experience a mystical adventure!
It’s a story about dreams, relationships, betrayal, courage, separation, and repentance.

Review:
The story revolves around two major characters Diksha and Gautam.
Diksha strives for perfection in all aspects of her life that eventually turns her into an automaton ( a machine-like human).
On the other hand, Gautam has his dreams as his priority and achieving it makes his life a living nightmare.
The two of them struggle hard to settle their lives.
After being disappointed by all their efforts the incident in their life turns them into Sanyasis.
The path of sanyas provides them eternal happiness and satisfaction.
The story is about how they opt the path of sanyasi and thus the title is appropriate.
The cover is well designed.
The narration and plot was written in a wonderful manner that I felt like reading it at a stretch.
Characterization was the major reason I loved the book.
