Love is divine, love is pristine. Love could be agony, love could be bliss. It’s God’s wonderful gift. All are not ordained to be smitten by the love bug; only the chosen few are lucky. For love, you need a heart that feels, that throbs, that is brimming with sentiments and emotions ... a heart that is immaculate, impeccable and pure. My Red Butterfly is a tale modest yet sublime; of unparalleled love and romance. It could be of anyone of us; of requited or unrequited love; successful or torn apart. An enchanting story of an innocent boy Rohit, struck by cupid when barely 16, with aspirations to be a doctor and win his love. Set during the late seventies and early eighties, it takes you across many states in India and the ups and downs of Rohit’s journey of life and the people who influence him and shape his life. It’s a story of hope, aspirations, deep filial bonds and unadulterated cords of friendship. It’s a story to relive and remember ... story of an era when love was not alloyed with materialism and practicalities ... when relationships were not tortuous but were straight and heartfelt. It’s a story that will touch the inner chords of your heart. You may wish to fall in love again ... or even the first time around if you haven’t before...
