Dreams in Prussian Blue by Paritosh Uttam is the story of a first-year student Naina who is absolutely fanatical about her senior, Michael, recognized genius and resident insurgent of the Fine Arts College, Mumbai. So when he proposes that they drop out of college and live-in, she readily agrees. But life with Michael quickly turns into an emotional rollercoaster. Unpredictable, prejudiced and extremely selfish, he expects Naina to run the household so that he is free to paint. Naina tries her hand at several odd jobs, but when an accident and Michael lost his sight and their life together begins to loosen as she can only helplessly watch. And in trying to pull it together, Naina is driven to being what she have never been—a liar and a cheat. The book is a nice read but the story is quite Bollywood type, however, have been able to grab the readers attention.
