अमित काफ़ी वक्त के बाद दिल्ली से अपने घर पटना आया है। बहुत कुछ पहले जैसा ही है यहाँ, लेकिन कुछ ऐसा भी है जो बदल गया है। अनु, जिससे शायद वह इस दुनिया में सबसे ज़्यादा प्यार करता है, इस बार अमित के साथ नहीं है। वह कहाँ है और कैसी है, अमित या तो ये जानता नहीं, या लोगों को, ख़ासकर अपने सबसे अच्छे दोस्त शिवेंद्र को, बताना नहीं चाहता।
एक हलचल-सी मची है अमित के अंतर्मन में; एक ऐसा तूफ़ान जो उसे अपने अतीत की कुछ ख़ास यादों में खींचा ले जा रहा, जहाँ उस ने गंगा नदी से ले कर जामा मस्जिद तक का सफ़र तय किया है एक तलाश में। क्या ये तलाश अनु को पाने की है, या फिर वह खुद को ढूँढ रहा है?अमित के इसी सफ़र को बयाँ करती है यादों की आवाज़, और तुम।

About the Book:
It has been quite a while since Amit visited Patna, his hometown, from New Delhi. Not much has changed here since he last left the city. However, some things are definitely different than before. Anu, whom Amit loves probably more than anyone else in the entire world, is not with him this time. Where is she and how is she doing? Either Amit doesn’t know about it, or he just doesn’t want to discuss it with anyone, especially with his best friend, Shivendra. There is a storm going on inside him that is pulling him towards certain particular memories of his past, where Amit has travelled from the river Ganga to Jama Masjid, in search of something or someone. Is this search to find Anu, or is Amit looking for himself? ‘Yaadon Ki Aawaaz Aur Tum’ tells the tale of this journey of Amit.
Yaadon Ki Aawaaz, Aur Tum is Shubhang Saurav’s debut book – a lovely romantic-bildungsroman novel in Hindi.
A content writer and project manager by day at a Toronto-based digital marketing agency, Shubhang has written for various websites, forums, and social media platforms under the pen name ‘Ronin’ and continues doing so.
Shubhang also goes by the pen name ‘Ronin’. What exactly it means, you ask? Well, in Feudal Japan, when a Ninja was abandoned by his clan and used to train all by himself was known as a Rogue Ninja, or ‘Ronin’. There’s some story behind why Shubhang adapted this pen name, but that’s a story for another time.
Shubhang has been into fiction writing for quite some time now. He has written poems, articles, op-eds, short stories, movie reviews, and celebrity interviews for various websites, blogs, and web forums. He has a blog named Shubhang’s Poems where he mostly writes poems in English, Hindi, and Urdu.
Shubhang has also written two novels. The first one, ‘The Lonely Wish-Giver‘ was co-authored by him and other writers across the globe and was published by the renowned online editing platform Grammarly. More recently, he debuted with his Hindi-language romantic-bildungsroman novel titled ‘Yaadon Ki Aawaaz, Aur Tum.’
When Shubhang is not tap-tapping his laptop keyboards, he spends his time doing commissioned designing and drawing, playing harmonica, listening to rock music from the golden eras of the 70s and 80s (Guns N’ Roses, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, you name it!), and reading, well, a lot of fiction stories! An ardent fan of superhero stories, Shubhang is a devotee of Stan Lee and can never get over Spider-Man, at least not in this life.
Shubhang Saurav has always been inspired by stories that depict serenity, introspection, and finding happiness amid real-life not-so-happy situations. Needless to say, such themes reflect in several of his works, including the story that you’re about to read. A content writer and project manager by day at a Toronto-based digital marketing agency, Shubhang has written for various websites, forums, and social media platforms under the pen name ‘Ronin’ and continues doing so. An avid fan of fiction and high fantasy stories, Shubhang grew up reading the works of authors like Premchand, J. R. R. Tolkien, Maitreyi Pushpa, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and J. K. Rowling. Even though Shubhang has traveled and stayed in several cities in India and Canada, his love for Delhi was, and always will, remain unmatched. He dedicates this story to his love for the city.
