" I "

The tendency to  say, 'No', I will not listen; I will not give in; I will not consider.

Because of what? Bacause of " I "; because "I am "

But there is only one 'I' ----- the perfect " I ". He is God

This is expressed in the saying, " Man proposes, but God disposes

What is good and what is evil?

Good is that which you consider to be good, and the effect of which is agreeable to you both in its beginning and end.Evil is that which you  consider to be evil and the effect of which is disagreeable in the beginning as well as in in the end.

All things that seem good and evil are the opposite ends of one line,and it is difficult to say where evil ends and good begins. A lesser good would seem evil when compared with a greater good, and the lesser evil in comparison with the greater evil would appear good.

If there were no evil, good would not have been valued.

Therefore the whole of life's joy is expressed in duality.

"The Immortals of Meluha" ---- By Amish

It's not a novel but an ocean and the instances therein are not fictions but different drops of ocean itself that remain drops i.e. fictions only till they are dropped again in the ocean to become ocean themselves.

History & geography, Medicine & surgery, Mythology & gerontology, Altruism & reciprocal altruism,War & peace, Hate & love, Sex & exhibitionism, Development & governance, Dance & drama,  Music &song, Art & sculpture,Violence & terrorism Civilization & evolution,  Cast taxonomy & hierarchies, Signalling & messaging, Logic & philosophy, Woman empowerment & instincts,Laboratories & scientific discoveries, beauty tips, parenting,nursing, Rivers & water crisis and what not --- all the elements are there in one book.

Realization of pangs of separation is the beginning of religion and faith personified is God. The book gives an understanding what is good and  what is bad. Is it that what is done out of desire is wrong and what is done out of necessity is right? Perspectives vary and the perception changes.

Nevertheless for flawless and fluent English conversational practice , the book is immensely helpful.

The greatest charm of the book is that not only the lines but  also between the lines of the book are readable

It is hoped that Lord Shiva will give bliss and bless to every reader of the book leading to clearer understanding of human life and relationships

Kudos to Amish for his tremendous efforts,splendid research and above all magnificent contribution to the world of literature.

May Lord Shiva bless him for all of his endeavors.
