Read excerpt
Kamyaab kaun hai, doston? Woh jiske paas daulat, naam aur ooncha ohda ho, ya woh jo apne logon ke beech, apni pehchaan ke saath sukoon se jeeta ho? Kaamyaabi ke asli mayaar aakhir hain kya?

For some it's a love song; for others, old memories the rain quietly stirs awake. So grab a chai, open a window, and for a little while, simply enjoy the rain.
