Imagine a life unburdened by the weight of attachments. A life where you are free to flow with the changes of life, untethered from the past and open to the present moment. This is the promise of mastering the art of letting go.Many of us struggle to let go of things that no longer serve us. We cling to possessions, relationships, and even our own beliefs, even when they are causing us pain. This attachment can prevent us from experiencing true freedom and happiness.But letting go is not about giving up. It's about choosing to release what no longer serves us, so that we can focus on what truly matters. It's about making room in our lives for new experiences and opportunities.
The book opens in Shimla with a big, fat celebration from Lalaji on the cards. Not every day it happens that Lalaji would be 'celebrating' and inviting people. Occasion - his daughter, Sakshi's 18th birthday. She is one of the reasons for the 'birth' of this story and is one part of the core. Part I basically deals with Lalaji and his family, their background and daily life. Their interpersonal relationships with their surrounding social group, especially two important people who play a vital role throughout the book - Adv. Mahajan and Dr. Malhotra and their contrasting nature. Lalaji has a firm belief in Hindu Philosophy and has been trying to lead a life in accordance with the various stages described in Hindu scriptures. Part II takes us to Africa in the era of apartheid, struggle for freedom, patriotism, and revolution. This part deals with young love and the fire in the young hearts. It introduces and takes us through the life of the next pillar of the story, Shaka, Sakshi's love interest, culminating in bringing out the next pillar of the story. Part III takes us back to Shimla due to some tragic turn of events. The manifestations of the characters, the seeds of which were sown in Africa, are seen here. It takes us through a story of a person's capacity to challenge the mind and the body to limits. It also takes us through a roller coaster ride of the many so-called mysterious phenomena debated in the scientific and spiritual school of thoughts. The comparison between the spiritual-religious way of life and the scientific-pragmatic way of life is made and is left for the readers to decide which thinking or the way of life they want to follow, the old school or the more contemporary one.
