One Day Marriage

The place of first love in our hearts is always delicate and special. This novel tells the love story of Daya and Sagar, who have known each other since childhood, played together, and grown up together. The story unfolds through Daya’s memories of the past.

Nearly eighteen years later, Daya receives a friend request on Facebook from his childhood friend Sagar, which brings back a flood of memories. Through these recollections, the narrative gradually reveals Daya’s past and the beautiful bond he once shared with Sagar.

Against the backdrop of the challenges faced by this young couple—family opposition and various social and economic factors—debut author Dayanand Lone presents a deep and thoughtful reflection on the mindset of young people, their emotional world, and the profound and long-lasting impact such relationships can have on a person’s life.

The protagonist, who recalls the memories of an old relationship and narrates past experiences with a sense of objectivity, emerges as both courageous and sensitive. In many ways, this novel touches upon several questions and concerns faced by today’s youth, both directly and indirectly.
