The evolution of an AI engineer into a Jesuit, a Christian priest, and later an Aghori Sadhu, a naked Hindu monk, is the story. On holiday in Goa, Grace, a local girl, invited Abe to stay with her on condition he wouldn't touch her. He became madly in love with Grace but evolved into a celibate. At the Kamakhya temple, Emma, from Amsterdam, a researcher of Aghori Sadhus, prompted him about the joys of sex that challenged Abe's manhood. Her greenish eyes mesmerised him, and the lure tore him apart. A reverberating saga of sparkling aspirations and fleeting visions of Abe, Grace and Emma, enthralled in the zest of living and entrenched in captivating catastrophe sans exit, elevates the reader into a delightful psychic amorphous experience. This explosive existential surrealistic fiction exposes the absurdity and futility of celibacy, asceticism, and renunciation. Grace and Emma are two facets of womanhood, and Abe is the quintessential artist who tries to circumvent his anguish through painting their portraits. The Aghori Sadhu symbolises the meaninglessness of life. His nudity is civilisation's primaeval status, the freedom to be naked
In God’s Own Country, a democratically elected ruler metamorphosed into a despot. Individuals and society lost their dignity, freedom, and power. Flatterers emerged in large numbers. The media prostrated before the autocrat, refusing to see the anguish and death. To derive pleasure and bust tension, the dictator tortured beggars, migrant labourers and nomads by punching their faces in his secret torture chamber. History haunted him because he was a rootless vagabond, and the truth shattered his ego. Four women dared to challenge him. The story delves into democracy, the rule of law, moral ambiguity, human evil, and responsibility. Narratives incrusted with symbolism and metaphor vividly express the intricate terrains of the human psyche and deep fissures in society.
