The title makes it amply clear if the book being about a meeting with lord Hanuman, a.k.a Maruti. The story is tightly knit around the protagonist Jay and the events in his life. How his love for someone brings the best out of him and stimulates his desires to achieve his dreams.
The author focuses on the themes of success and sacrifice but at the same time also raises the issues of education, how the Indian education system affects young minds, pressure on children, caste, society, morals and love (of different forms) and above all, friendship.
A definite read for all, the story holds the reader to the very end, even making him/her read the narrative frame of the author and the tourist. This gives him a chance to glorify and praise his home city. The frequent references to Bollywood music and movies shows the importance of cinema for an Indian which connects him more to the plotline. The sacrifice Maruti demands for keeps hold of the reader's imagination till the end of the story. The idea of success at the cost of sacrifice is repeated at the beginning and the end too. Being well aware of some sacrifice to happen, the reader can least guess what it could be about. Since the characterizations involve people of different age groups, it is a good read for all age groups.
