"It was not for who I was; it was for who I wasn't." Neisha and Akshit meet online and soon become great friends. Neisha lives in Ranchi and Akshit in Jaipur. They exchange numbers and start talking on the phone. Their wonderful friendship soon blossoms into love. They are the happiest when together. They are just perfect for each other. The only thing that comes between them is the difference in religion. Akshit loves Neisha, but is not ready to go against his parents and society to take their relationship further. So they decide to break up. But soon after, Neisha realises that she won't be able to survive without him. She is still very much in love with Akshit and believes he loves her too. This belief takes her to Jaipur, to convince her love and make him realise how lucky they are to have met each other. It's a story about two people in love, who have everything in common but an uncommon God to worship. In this first novel, Monisha weaves a contemporary story in the backdrop of family traditions. It is a touching tale of Jain boy and Tamil Christian girl. Will they make it or won't they as a couple? Will they have to sacrifice love out of respect for their families? The reader finds out only in the end; till then there is nail-biting suspense and a touching love story on every page.

Monisha is a 22-year-old debutante writer. She did her schooling from Delhi Public School, Ranchi and her degree in B.Sc Visual Communication from Ethiraj College, Chennai. The idea for this book came when she saw her friends going through break-ups, not because they fell apart, but because of the difference in religion and caste. She realised that even today in contemporary India, love marriages are not an easy task. She is an avid reader of novels, poetry and blogs and likes to write poems, paint, cook, sing and dance. Being a big television and movie buff and a viscom student, Monisha is a supporter of the arts and wants to work in the media industry and maybe direct a movie someday.
