“If Life was that simple”
The Secret Of The Nagas -Amish Tripathi
Everything that ends begins here and everything that you may look as a start is end there ! Such is the plot structure of the second book ! One would surely be amazed and awed at the end in reading the book . Every page of this book would carry a lesson that one surely wanted to carry forward. Philosophies are always complex , have you heard about one line philosophies if not try reading this book, not just a compulsive page turner but a life changing book too because of its blend of ideas to the modern contemporary world . One must not be preconceived by the idea on looking the cover page that this something tied to religion which is not so , as the author have tried to included some characters from the Hindu mythology but never to preach the ideologies , he made it so realistic and secular .
The death of a book is not when it’s left untouched but when the intensions or the purpose of the book is not met by the readers ! In that sense this book would never face death as one would seriously uphold the principles narrated in the story .
The grandeur of the book is abound by majestic structures of the setting , descriptions of the legendary characters, and unfolding events that a reader wouldn’t speculate such turn of events . There is offcourse a touch on Hindu mythology but this book cannot bought under the list of “Religious” . Readers who look for myths and ardents followers of shiva will definitely find this book enchanting.
The author has throwed few messages to its readers about equality, secularism and harmonious life . Everyone is equal under god’s eye , women is never less than its counterpart . The language is too simple and intricate ideas presented effortless. Every page would keep the reader exhilarating . For new readers I would suggest this as it might kindle the feeling of reading .
“Desire is the root cause of all suffering, all destruction ....... Because desire creates attachment. Attachment to this world . And when you don’t get what you want or get what you don’t want , it leads to suffering. This leads to anger . And that to violence and wars . Which finally results in destruction.”
