Goodreads is every published Author’s sacred space. Reviews, events, videos – and your Goodreads Author blog all condensed under one roof.

Perfect quote – It aptly sums up the motive to pen my novel.

Why write at all? You cannot inhale and not exhale.
You cannot eat and not poop.
You cannot read and not write. (Did I just equate writing with pooping?) Yin & Yang. Reading is a passive, pleasant passion. Writing is challenging, invigorating, and pathologically addictive!

Profession vs Passion: I’m a Pathologist by profession. I dissect dead bodies and diagnose live diseases under the microscope. But human beings hold deeper mysteries beneath the visible surface. Mind, emotions, and idiosyncrasies – those are beyond the scalpel, but not beyond the pen’s might!

I decided to use my profession 2 ways. One, to fund my passion. Two, to stimulate both halves of my brain – the rational and the creative. Yin & Yang again.

History forgot his voice, but misquoted his silence.
Genre: Indian Mythology/ Mahabharata/ History
Premise: 5000 years ago, Arjun the superlative warrior paused on the eve of Kurukshetra battle. His poignant question, “How many should die for the sins of a handful?” churned with charioteer Krishn’s, “How many times the sinful should be forgiven for the lives of countless?” to create the Bhagavad Gita.
Arjun, the idealist in a non-ideal world. He held the power to unleash devastation – and the compassion not to misuse it. He was idolized for defeating demiGods & demons – and ridiculed for not being ruthless. He was Heaven’s heir – and endured exile after exile. His love Draupadi – had to become the wife of his four brothers. He was the peerless archer, the seductive monk, the epitome of masculinity, the danseur eunuch, exemplary student and eternal seeker of knowledge – all in one roller coaster Life.
Come, join Arjun’s turbulent journey. Unravel his emotions, passions and angst.
Find ‘other’ famous Arjuns, compare Arjun vis-a-vis Achilles & Alexander and explore Myths of Mahabharata.
Discover Arjun beyond the warrior extraordinaire.
Note: Draupadi’s narration in the book is marked with *** symbol. Arjun’s narration is without any symbol.
