It is
a rare thing to have the financial advisor of Government of Rajasthan write a
book on existentialist philosophies and
even rarer to be requested to review it. It is truly an honour to read this and
review it on my blog.

Me
thinks
From all that I gathered
from the net, this book has had it’s own share of controversies. The story line
is very unusual and different from the usual books that come out these days.
The author through this story has managed to challenge the age old traditions
and beliefs we all are brought up with, in our society.
The story has the author
himself as the main protagonist Anupam who is the narrator. We have his wife,
their daughter and few other characters like the guide of their daughter, her
husband and a lovelorn neighbor. These very distinct characters come together
to form a very unusual story line which defines love in the newest form
possible which does exist in today’s world though is not accepted that openly.
Yes there are a few parts
in the story where it gets confusing in the narrative and the reader might have
to pause to grasp it correctly. The author has experimented with a genre and
his experiment has been successful to a very large extent I must say. This book
is not for everyone as it is not a easy going read. It is for people who enjoy
deep philosophical stuff and appreciate the alternate lives of people in
today’s societies.
