Islands in the Stream

Islands in the Stream or Nadi Ke Dwip questions the traditional convictions and focuses on the characters; their psychology as well as their relations with the society in a very poetic manner. The novel narrates the story of Bhuvan, a young free lancer, who after being bitten by intense love of Rekha, a socialite, joins the Second World War and does not even know if he would ever return alive to marry Gaura, the girl of Rekha s choice. The philosophy of the novel is that the greatest joy of life lies in the non-fulfillment rather than that of fulfillment ! Bhuvan, the central characters says, Let beautiful aspects remain beautiful! Do not touch them
