When Love Came Calling by Preeti Shenoy

Released: August 2020

Puja is 19, chaotic, unorganized, energetic, a baffling puzzle to her family. Her philosophy? Life is just too complicated; only a small group of super achievers have it figured out. Her strict mother sends her to a remote rural location in Kerala and Puja has to spend her summer vacation doing voluntary work.

Arush is 20, studious, careful, shy. Born and raised in Britain, he is elated when he gets chosen for an International program to spend twelve weeks in India. Here’s an opportunity to explore his roots.

When Puja and Arush meet, all they can think of is how unbelievably different the other one is. But with choppy internet and no other distractions, they start getting to know each other and slowly fall in love. But falling in love and staying in love are not the same things.

When disaster strikes, they are embroiled in a dangerous situation that spirals out of control. Puja is forced to confront the harsh realities of life while Arush realises that India is not always the picture-perfect postcard he presumed it was.

Desperately fighting to expose the truth and save themselves, what happens to their love? Is it strong enough to survive forces that threaten to destroy it? Is it deep enough to drown their own doubts? Sometimes you have to travel far to find your true self.
