The story of a man who will stop for nothing but love and will give nothing less than complete loyalty!
Born in an impoverished Sikh family in Bihar, Gobind is content to live under the long shadow of poverty. Then, one day, moved by his father’s words, Gobind vows to uplift his life and change his and his family’s fortunes forever A soldier at heart, he joins the Indian Navy and becomes a shining star, all set to achieve great success. No one though knows the pain he’s carrying in his heart—that of an unfulfilled promise, an unrequited love.
Soon fate throws him one more challenge—on an assignment to Russia he meets someone who’s not only extraordinarily beautiful, but also reminds him of his lost love. The only catch is, being with her will jeopardize the pledge he made to the navy notwithstanding his heroic rescue of his course mates.
What decision will he make? Who will he choose? Which promise will he break?
A thriller, a love story, a saga of passion and human endurance, Gobind is a page-turner that will keep you spell bound long after you’ve finished reading it.

Clear filters“Deh Shiva var mohe ihai, Subh karman te kabhu na taro …” (Oh great power, give me the boon, so that I may never shirk away from doing good deeds …) – Guru Gobind Singh
This is the story of a boy who was named after Guru Gobind Singh. He was a son of a daily wager and his skills in study and games were not good. But one day the Sat Kartar came to his house and assimilated to him. Then he was entirely changed. He topped the district in examination and earned scholarships. After finishing his education, he joined the navy academy and he performed excellently.
But for his misfortune, he lost his love interest Meera. Their love ended up with a very heartbreaking death of Meera. To avoid his grief, Gobind joined the submarine wing of the navy that took him to Leningrad in Russia. He found that the submarine named sindhkosh, which was set to go to Bombay from Leningrad, was faulty, the fact that the Russian officials tried to hide. He also met a Russian girl Taraa, whose appearances were very similar to Meera. He fell in love to her, that caused many troubles to him. This is a story of love, heartbreaks, greed, lust, honeytrap, courage and patriotism. The character of Muthuswamy (Gobind’s friend in the navy) was very funny.
But it did not match my expectations as this book was from the author of “Calling Sehmat”, a great chilling spy thriller and one of my favorite novels of all time. But it was a good read. So, don’t expect too much from this book. If you love reading novels, you will love this too. This book contains no political contents but have some adult contents. So, I will recommend it to mature people only. There is a happy ending in the conclusion.
