Is the title justified?
Simple answer: Yes.
Justification: Though I started the book inspired by my own '7 Seconds' [a symbolic way to represent the small amount of time-frame of my accident], I ended it interestingly in a way to share the good-happy, poetic-musical and sometimes teaching-sentimental lessons.
Explanation: In its fast-paced story which does not leave any trace of doubt in the mind of the reader. Inspired by my reality till the accident, the story takes some events - and songs & poems - directly from my life. Akshant is the protagonist who is a non-serious messy teenager till he meets a deadly accident. The book teaches us a clear lesson how even a small time period of 7 seconds can make coins turn over and change faces. The already not-so-sincere Akshant has to carry the weight of 5 supplementary exams along with him to the next year. It is then focused on how the protagonist turns his mismanagement of time into near-perfect management when he clears 10 exams at one go with a nice percentage.
7 seconds' (or similar) short time interval make it full of suspense for the character in few decisive instances in his life which tend to end in laughter.
Action follows in plane hijack where the symbolic 7 seconds' time frame again plays a significant role.
So yes, the title is justified. It not only indicates action-filled sequences in the book, but also conveys the importance of time which many of us, irrespective of our age, fail to identify and respect.
