Even beyond awards, there is an image of a person, there are remarkable efforts, and there are innumerable commendable achievements. Much has been written on the achievements of Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthiji as a child rights activist but when we delve deeply into his life, we find that he is as sensitive and emotional a person as he is a passionate child rights activist. There are so many hues and such myriad talents that can be seen in his life since childhood. They may seem unbelievable but each one of them is true and can be a source of inspiration for one and all. In this era of mechanisation, we humans are fast becoming mechanised in our approach to life too. Humanity within us has started to diminish, and others’ agonies no longer pain us. Attributes like emotions, compassion, and affinity separate humans from machines. We really are in great need of them. This book, penned with utmost love, talks of some selected episodes of Satyarthiji’s life. The reason behind compiling inspirational anecdotes is to create a nursery of sorts with saplings that would grow into many Kailash Satyarthis and nurture the society.

She talks to him about not only the highs but also the disappointments, as well as the deep faith that continues to guide him.
Ram Krishna is an artist who paints nudes. Incensed by his wife’s possible infidelity, and despite his own conjugal insecurities, he engages in an adulterous liaison. Immediately, Karma strikes: his wife’s purported lover pushes him to his death into a flooding river. Unclad of corporal existence, he hovers above earth and discovers that—apart from his parents, dog, and a few friends—no one misses him. Dejected, he encounters Yama, the Lord of Death, and begins a conversation that extinguishes his own airs and affectations, and makes him see that he may have been wrong about life . . . and his wife. Armed with a wry sense of humour, Shiv K. Kumar lays bare the questions of humanity’s inescapable end, plying us with a story of the afterlife that gives us new reasons to live and laugh.
