Book Review : Northpole

Hello Readers, 

This is my first Book review about my most favorite novel Northpole. The name Northpole might sound like an English word, but just as the name is unique, so is its essence. It is a novel written by the Gujarati author Jitesh Doga. I like this novel because it's relevant to all youth. 

Northpole is a word that represents a dream—one that is envisioned, pursued, lived, and experienced throughout the novel. The story revolves around a young man from a village named Gopal , who, despite completing his college education, remains unsure of his purpose in life. This is a common issue for many students because they often study subjects that do not interest them. Some academically brilliant students never explore anything beyond their textbooks. However, every individual must remain aware of their passions.

In a similar way, Gopal embarks on a journey away from his family in search of his true passion. During this quest, he meets Meera, a young woman who becomes his companion. Together, they imagine a Northpole of their own and work toward making it a reality. In the process, they fall in love. Both of them, disillusioned by societal norms, do not believe in the institution of marriage. Eventually, they have a daughter as radiant as the moon, whom they name Eid. However, tragedy strikes—Eid succumbs to cancer, and Meera also died in an accident.

Years later, after much struggle and introspection, Gopal finally discovers his true passion—music, which he embraces as his life's purpose.

Similarly, every individual should pursue what truly interests them so they can live a life of fulfillment—even if it takes time to figure it out.

This is my favorite lines from novel :
