“इश्क़ एक इबादत है” is a masterfully written novel that combines the beauty of poetry with the depth of storytelling.
– Jasmin Miller
“इश्क़ एक इबादत है” is not just a love story; it’s a journey through life’s highs and lows, beautifully written by प्रमोद राजपूत.
– Satyajit Samal
रोमांटिक से ज़्यादा यह एक भावनात्मक कहानी है, त्याग और प्रतिबद्धता की कहानी है।

“एक अकेला मैं हीं नहीं हूँ, तेरे प्यार में सौदाई अक्सर चाँद को देखा है, रोते हुए ठंडी रातों मेंI”
I always read books in English though my mother tongue is Hindi, I rarely pick the same language books, I don’t know why but I hope I’m able to change it in 2024 and read more of hindi books💗
Anyway, coming to the review of this book. 😅
Firstly, I enjoyed reading this book. I read it in one day and liked the way the story is written. How it took turns, how the new chapters and chracters were introduced, I was fully involved in reading it. 💕
The story is about Madhav, a student of mechanical engineering in IIT Kanpur and Madhulika or Madhu, is preparing for college to study English literature. 📚 They had a lot in common which they couldn’t even think of but got to know as they started talking to each other✨they connected on so many various levels which was completely unbelievable for anyone to believe 👀✨🤌
How a strange incident led to their meeting, how they got to know each other and became friends and how things moved forward from there, for better or for worst? 🤔 👀
The emotions and the incidents happening between and among the characters in the book were truly felt. The connection was easily made with the characters which made the read even better. ☺️😇
Friendship and family love relationship is also described ❤️🤌 which was also great to read about. ✨
I won’t deny at parts it was a little different and difficult for me to understand and I had to think a little extra to understand the context behind but I think that’s because I’m not in a habit of reading books in hindi and not a fault of the book.☺️
Overall, I would def recommend it.💗
And I mean, who doesn’t enjoy reading a good love story, right? 🤌

Pramod Rajput’s “Ishq Ek Ibaadat Hai” is an enchanting tapestry that intricately weaves together the timeless threads of love, life, and the profound human connections that transcend geographical and emotional borders. Rajput’s storytelling prowess breathes life into the romantic saga of Manav and Madhu, painting a vivid canvas against the backdrop of 1950s Kanpur and spanning landscapes from Bihar to America.
Effortlessly blending traditional Indian essence with a universally resonant love story, Rajput’s vivid narrative invites readers into the bustling streets of Kanpur, offering a heartwarming and culturally enriching experience. While I personally desire for a deeper cultural exploration, the overall resonance of the book in capturing the essence of love’s journey remains a compelling recommendation for those seeking an uplifting and enjoyable read.
The novel skillfully navigates through Manav Gautam’s journey, seamlessly interweaving elements of love, ambition, and familial bonds. Each chapter unfolds diverse facets of love’s complexities, from the tender blossoming romance amidst the vibrant streets of Kanpur to the challenges and sacrifices inherent in sustaining a long-distance relationship.
However, it’s in the portrayal of Alzheimer’s impact on relationships where the novel’s emotional depth peaks, showcasing the enduring resilience of love amidst life’s adversities. Rajput’s narrative transcends mere storytelling; it’s a lyrical odyssey through the labyrinth of human emotions, enriched by the fusion of poetry and prose, resonating profoundly with the intricacies of love and life.
The book’s strength lies in its ability to evoke a myriad of emotions, from the sheer ecstasy of love to the poignant ache of separation. The verses, infused with emotional depth, offer a unique perspective on love as a spiritual and divine sentiment, making it a compelling and engaging read for poetry enthusiasts and those seeking a profound exploration of human emotions.
In essence, “Ishq Ek Ibaadat Hai” is a captivating masterpiece that delves into the spiritual and transformative nature of love. Rajput’s seamless intertwining of emotions and cultural nuances creates an immersive reading experience, making it highly recommended for anyone yearning to delve into the depth and profundity of love’s enduring essence.
Diptisha –
‘इश्क़ एक इबादत है’ प्रमोद राजपूत द्वारा लिखी गई मानव एवं मधु की खूबसूरत कहानी है। मानव इलाहाबाद के रहने वाला हैं, जो कि आईआईटी कानपुर में पढ़ता था, और मधु अंग्रेजी पढ़ने की तैयारी कर रही थी।
जैसे-जैसे कहानी आगे बढ़ती है, हम दोनों के बीच उभरता हुआ प्यार देख पाते हैं। मगर प्यार के साथ उनके जीवन में चुनौतियों का भी आगमन होता है। लेखक अपनी कहानी के द्वारा पाठकों को यह बताता है कैसे मानव और मधु ने उन सब चुनौतियों को पार किया और अपने प्यार को जिताया।
लेखक ने पत्रों का बहुत अच्छे ढंग से विवरण किया है जिससे की कहानी बिल्कुल आंखों के सामने चल रही थी। कहानी बहुत सरल शब्दों में लिखी गई है। मुझे यह कहानी बहुत ही प्यारी लगी।
