The book is about Arvind and Arbaaz who have grown up during partition of India and their struggle for power. It intertwines, collides, races and also keeps you attached to the 2 characters as they merge and demerge personally as well as profesionally to gain power. The characters of Arvind and Arbaaz have a hold on you and that gives out all the moments of power struggle, clash of thoughts, politics, humanity, grace and everything that you can think of based on real life aspects and gaining power as well as loss of power. Both characters have a hold on you throughout the book and one does feel a loss after the book is over, you think of people whose lives have been affected by you and how it affects you as well as them.
