Surrounded by Sleep by Akhil Sharma

Ajay is surrounded by grief after his brother, Aman, dives into a swimming pool (when it isn't full of water) and is in a coma. Ajay seems that his prayers go unanswered or are in vain: He felt like "trying to move a sheet of blank paper from one end of a table to the other end by blinking so fast that you started a breeze." This is a fabulous story of loss and grief, but also of hope and the power of prayer.

Wow. Learn to read. The pool had water in it. If you can't pick up on that you couldn't have possibly comprehended the rest of the story.
