Good Things Are Around the Corner

A Novel


When Devika, a final year student at Delhi University, starts pursuing her long-suppressed passion for painting, she faces opposition from her conservative family. But Devika is determined to make her own choices. She disregards all resistance and starts painting in secret.

At the same time, Devika falls in love with a fellow student Chaman and realises that she can have a perfect life with him. Good things seem to be around the corner, but her plans begin to crumble as her family pushes her for an arranged marriage while Chaman deals with his own complications.

 As she navigates the social, political, and moral potholes in her path, she comes to a crossroads where one road leads to her lover and another to her art. Which road will she now choose? Will she be able to achieve a breakthrough as a painter? And when her rebellious instincts take her paintings into a new bold direction that an orthodox society does not appreciate, what consequences will she be willing to bear?

GOOD THINGS ARE AROUND THE CORNER tells an unforgettable love story of a strong-willed woman, hell-bent on following her heart.
