LIFE.. Like the kumbh Fair, this novel
LOVE.. promises to open the doors of its readers’
KUMBH.. thinking, coaxing them to tarry for a few
Togetherness is the greatest stoning… moments and re-examine their priorities
…. Relations, the best snuff… in life.
‘It is good to live a life of an instinct, you have nothing to fear, no failures, no successes, just a gut and the beatings of the tiny heart. Let it see the world, it said in its beat, like the haloed Damru of Shiva; come out and enjoy the Maya of so called God; now this was one mystery I couldn’t fathom; wait, there was one more; destiny. To these I added a third; Faith, not in these two, but in my Self… the Atma.’ Aditi’s take on LIFE..LOVE..KUMBH…
On 13th of January 2010, a day before the first of the Eleven great baths of the Maha Kumbh at Haridwar, the largest human congregation in the Universe; Agastaya, Annant and Aditi, journey along in their lives; crossing each other’s path; reminiscing of the past gone by and being wary of the future . But as the day nears its end, destiny would throw them in a situation from which there would be no running away. Will they face up to the challenges of living, loving, longing, leaving, learning and come out unscathed from the play of destiny and the cycle of Karma? What of their identity; their Philosophies and the quest for Yogic excellence?
