New Delhi: As the name suggests, the book named Warm Loving Medication is about an urban youth’s struggle with Doomsday Syndrome and the healing touch he gets from an acquaintance or rather a ‘friendly’ stranger.
The book has hit the stands and is selling like hot cakes.
The book encapsulates the complexities of modern age life, challenges of balancing personal & professional life, heightened state of mental stress mainly because of ‘new-age’ lifestyle and the vagaries of life.
Akshat Srivastava, who authored this fiction-cum-non-fiction book, has drawn much from real-life experiences while also has made extra effort to tap mental state of varied individuals in putting together this masterpiece.
Abeer, the protagonist of the story represents an urban youth who like many others, earns his livelihood and sometimes take time off work for partying. However, death of someone close leaves him distraught and devastated. The book attempts to capture Abeer’s ‘deep transformation’ as he criss-crosses various phases of life, at times melancholy and gloomy phase.
In writer’s words, “the book is about the unaddressed evil lurking around our society.”
Akshat says, a chance meeting with an amazing acquaintance moved him so much that he got tempted to pen this book. Inspiration behind the book are real life characters. The writer has drawn inferences from his experiences, many of his daily acquaintances, friends and inter-related friends.
Abeer, the main character is a man of discipline and will power. He is someone who has a modern outlook and practical approach to life. Despite being surrounded by drug addicts, he has maintained his sanctity, however, smoking has become a part of his life. To solve the intricacies of life, he meets multiple therapists, attends counseling sessions but all that fails to alleviate his mental agony.
When life is bereft of opportunities and devoid of options, that is when the Almighty God comes to your rescue. Abeer was in for a pleasant surprise when he met Meera, whose never-ending optimism was infectious among a society full of nihilists.
She is a woman who is older but in all other ways totally different from everything he has seen. He sees her as someone he could love but also someone he could learn a lot from. He saw her as a lover and a mentor.
Abeer never imagined that a chance meeting with Meera will have such soothing impact on his life.
