Most people were hurt financially, while Arjun, Nisha and Sunny saw their world tumbling down before them. Left with no other option but to combat against it, they decided to stand by each other to confront the emotionally catastrophic situation together. While the nation was struggling to get in terms with the unprecedented economic turmoil, they had other social evils to stand up against as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My Thoughts<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is quite depressing right from the start. The lives of the characters play with the immediate effects of demonetization. It comes on Arjun&#8217;s shoulders, again and again, to deal with the money issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like how the author showed the importance of friends when one doesn&#8217;t have much family in times of death and suffering. I had also never read about an effeminate man&#8217;s struggles and appreciate the author for writing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the book makes you sad, it keeps you hooked. The writing style is simple. The romance was also carried out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book incorporates a number of issues including abuse, the inefficiency of medical treatment, discrimination, and drug addiction.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved that the author wrote a fictional story simply showing the effects of demonetization on a group of common people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><br><strong>Find me on\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\"><strong>Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><br> <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add this book on Goodreads\u00a0Buy this book on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Fiction Source: Review Copy Format:\u00a0Paperback Pages:\u00a0257 Publisher:\u00a0Leadstart Publishing Publication Date:\u00a025 September 2018 My Rating:\u00a04 stars<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2019\/02\/19\/decoding-life-post-8-11-by-indranil-roy-book-review\/#more-11953\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Decoding Life post 8\/11 by Indranil Roy (Book Review)<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4559,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/02\/04\/books-i-read-in-january-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":11953,"position":0},"title":"January 2017 Reads","date":"February 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Hello everyone!
