“I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches”
panA historic fiction based on the life of the brilliant strategist, Chanakya. The book has 2 parallel story lines. One is about how Chanakya planned and succeeded in installing Chandragupta in the throne of Magadha in 340BC. Another happens in present day, where Gangasagar Mishra, a contemporary of Chanakya makes Chandini Gupta the prime minister of India.

My first book of 2021...All time favourite...Re-reading it for the 3rd time....
pickImmortal talks, Book 1 by Shunya is a very interesting read. The book is about the teachings imparted by an immortal lord to his disciples.
The book explores topics like Karma, desire, destiny, death, alternate reality etc. The book is a very engrossing and at the same time a little confusing. I plan to read it again for deeper understanding once I finish the Book 2.
Once people believed in prophets and astrologers: and therefore people believed: 'Everything is fate: you shall, for you must!'
Then again people mistrusted prophets and astrologers: therefore people believed: 'Everything is freedom : you can, for you will'
