What happens when two people from totally different social milieus have an attraction for each other? That's the premise for many a hit Bollywood movie. But stop right there. Jazz Singh's Against All Odds is by no means an over the top, melodramatic story. It is rooted in reality and the author brings out the dilemma that a small town girl faces when she migrates to a big metropolis to study and work. Sanjana is just such a girl from the hill town of Kasauli who literally bumps into Abhimanyu's car on a Delhi thoroughfare. Abhimanyu is a successful real estate businessman who hails from an affluent family to boot. With both harbouring pre-conceived notions about each other, Sanjana is not too keen to further her acquaintance with the "typical Delhi-ite" despite the physical attraction that she feels for him. The author neatly resolves this will-they-won't-they-get-together question after a few plot twists and turns. It's an enjoyable read and Jazz Singh portrays her characters with a deft, light touch. I only wished that the author would have given us more of Abhimanyu's perspective. I also felt that in a couple of scenes, the author had missed the opportunity to amp up the conflict. Overall, though, I enjoyed this short read and look forward to reading more from Jazz Singh.
