Ramesh Sangle, in his ongoing endeavor to write his third novel, adopts a biographical approach. However, his professional background as an engineer occasionally infuses technicality into the narrative, leading to some parts feeling tangential. Yet, due to its basis in reality, such technical aspects may have been inevitable. Interestingly, he maintains his own name for one character in the story, presumably portraying himself. The narrative unfolds with the introduction of Ivan, a Jewish colleague of Ramesh from their apprenticeship days. Through a series of events, Ivan's character evolves, tracing his journey through life, struggles, and eventual migration to Australia with his spouse. Ivan is depicted as a principled professional with a robust value system, which not only elevates his self-esteem but also necessitates sacrifices. The conclusion takes an unexpected turn. As Ivan enters his fifties, he emerges as a mature individual, inwardly confident, and adept at confronting new challenges with composure. This transformation underscores Ivan's psychological evolution, marking a compelling denouement to the narrative.
