ABOUT THE AUTHOR :
BOOK REVIEW :
Some books tell a love story. Others tell the story of what remains after love leaves. Seasons of Sanju belongs to the latter category; a quiet, heartfelt novel that explores the ache of loving someone deeply and the courage it takes to move forward when that love isn’t returned.
At the center of the story is Sanju, a thirty-three-year-old man standing at a crossroads. On the same day he receives a career opportunity he has long dreamed of, he also faces a personal rejection that reopens old wounds. What follows is not merely a recollection of past relationships but a journey through the many seasons of his emotional life.
Through childhood infatuations, teenage confessions, fleeting connections, and unspoken feelings, Lalith Bankupally paints a portrait of a man who loves sincerely, waits patiently, and repeatedly discovers that love alone cannot guarantee a happy ending. The novel beautifully captures those bittersweet moments many readers will recognize, the conversations replayed in our minds, the hopes we nurture in silence, and the heartbreak of realizing that someone who meant everything to us may never feel the same way.
What I appreciated most about this book is its honesty. It doesn’t romanticize heartbreak or offer grand cinematic gestures. Instead, it presents love as it often exists in real life: messy, uncertain, one-sided, and deeply human. Sanju’s story feels less like fiction and more like listening to an old friend recount the chapters of his life over a cup of tea.
The writing carries a nostalgic warmth, transporting readers through different stages of growing up while subtly exploring themes of self-worth, resilience, and emotional maturity. Hyderabad itself feels woven into the narrative, adding a sense of place and authenticity that enriches Sanju’s journey.
While romance forms the backbone of the novel, the true heart of the story lies in self-discovery. Beneath every disappointment and unanswered feeling is an important realization: our value is not determined by who chooses us. Sometimes the most meaningful relationship we build is the one we cultivate with ourselves.
