Conductor ,Collector or a Galloping Stallion..

Ahmedabad 20^th October 2018: Every coin has two sides, so is the story of life... We all are a combination of extremes, that of moods, feelings, life as a journey or it's goals.

Though everything on the glam side of it looks fantastic and attractive on a picture or FB page, seems like a cakewalk but there is a helm of hard work which goes in any achievement.

So is Dark Horse, a book written by Nilotpal Mrinal. The book is a mirror, reflecting the reality of youth, especially those of Bihar whose grey cells have been seeded with an aspiration of achieving an IAS seat.

The journey towards attaining those stars on the shoulder begins from Mukherjee Nagar in Delhi, area known as a home to the young lads struggling their way into coaching classes, staying in very basic accommodation where hygiene is a big question! This is just one aspect of their struggle... all the hard earned money of their parents are pumped in promising coaching classes, another part of the grind,  where hours are put in for just one dream.

Nilotpal Mrinal, took the courage to pen down this bit of reality bite in a book. The extremism is to an extent that the boys have to shine out being a 'collector'; if not then they can accept becoming a conductor but not go in for a middle path. The language chosen for the novel is his mother tongue Hindi, with a few crude words, as used by Bihari boys, the same has been done to reflect the real image of Mukherji Nagar. Dark horse isn’t about refined versions, but the harsh truth of expecting the unexpected, challenges, grit, determination and finally galloping your way ahead towards shaping your dreams...

The author has made his way to achieve 'Sahitya Academy' award in his maiden launch itself.

That's what 'Dark Horse' is about!! You never know which move can bring you serendipitous achievement.. hence keep galloping!!
