Nilesh Rathod’s
‘Destiny of Shattered Dreams’ is a little like an inside view. It talks of a
business man, Atul Malhotra, 35 years old, chairman and founder CEO of a
billion dollar company, Transmech Telecom Limited. It goes on to talk of his
meteoric rise, taking his career and ‘colleagues plus probably his best friends’
too with him.
He was a middle
class boy, who was trying to find his way into the corporate world. Where the
twisted transactions and the lust for clout lie, therein the route to self-destruction
lays.
He is too much of
the ambitious man, which we do read about in the newspapers, every other day. The
whole corporate drama, blended perfectly with the political intrigue is all a
part of Atul’s life. The relationship he shares with his wife, Roshni, whom he had left and with that his child
too. He then goes on to lose his girlfriend, Aarti who works for him, but then
she went on to work with an NGO and then marrying, someone else too.
The
political angle is taken up by the ministers, who have a devious way of delusion,
sinking all their black money into TTL. Atul, who once had everything, ends up
making his way to jail, for faults that he committed and willingly so! He had
made the wrong choices.
Everything seemed
to be going for him, but all he wants is a little more and with it, and the
corrupt trail, which leads to it. He ends up paying the large fine, loses his
pride, in the two years of his jail time. He had to pay for all his bad
choices.
Rathod does have a
flair for writing that I enjoyed. But the poetry in between, was probably a little
too much for me, to handle. It was a good book, but then, he tends to get carried
away in the bits of love and lust, though the main plot was very interesting and
well defined. I would recommend giving
it a good read, over a cup of coffee.
