Yet another remarkable work by Manoj Das, the blessed son of Goddess Saraswati. Needless to write a review. The book is highly acclaimed by many eminent authors and critics. In fact the Kindle edition about 20% of the book is marked for commentary, appreciation and how to read the novel etc. From a simple reader standpoint the book is not the easiest of read. The style kind of goes about a little all over initially till the plot thickens. The story goes around a poor man who tries to earn a simple livelihood and lands up being a godman not by choice but by circumstances. How he adheres to it for all the attributed false expectations and promises made to him. How he is being used wrongfully by certain people around him. The hope or person he tries to save he has no means of saving her. And situation forces him to lie moribund near a river. And he escapes again in life but this time into the reality of being a seeker. As a seeker in the follower of truth his road again meets with his past for him to realize all those factor which has met him history has not been in anyway what they should have been. There had been a lot of changes in life and some serving poetic justice but some not getting the end goal they deserved.
Overall, it made me feel the book makes everyone look like an escapist in some form.
