Cover and Title
A colorful cover which shows 3 people flying in a hot air balloon. A noticeable thing about the cover is 3 of them are looking in different directions. The Title "Socha Bhi Na Tha" (Never imagined in Hindi) which is apt based on the story line since the of three people with different views yet linked with each other.
Theme
The plot revolves around three main characters: Shyam who is an hardworking and well settled guy but little bewildered in nature. Aditi, a bold and beautiful modern girl working who works as an HR. Padma , who is more or less an average looking girl with no so called peculiar attractions in her. What made Shyam nod Yes to the average looking Padma when proposed and reject the far more superior and attractive Aditi. There is always a twist in the tail when life scripts its fate,The plot had everything in it starting from a corporate work culture, proposal , rejection , marriage , divorce etc. Overall a good one time read which describes the different phases of a mans life who failed in his married life .

- Situation shown within the office is relateable.
What I didn't like
.
I could say the ending could have been more perfect , if the author had tried to express little more into the characters feeling and create a curiosity in the readers mind.. Since I felt a void once I finished reading the book as if something is missed within the ending
