All the people he meets leave an impression on him, and he is a man of spiritual inclination who believes that these encounters are somehow preordained. He believed in the innate spiritual connection of the whole of humanity and also with the Universe. His interesting philosophical observations are accompanied by commentaries on the plight of the people in India’s Northeast.
It is an interesting travelogue, recording the rich diversity in food, customs, habits and language of the people of the various states he crosses on his epic journey. His observations of the people and the situations he encounters are sometimes humorous and many times philosophical.
He had the courage to follow his heart, and his life was enriched by the experience. An experience he has shared delightfully with his readers, through the written word using this book.
The remarkable feature of this book is that the translator had taken enough care not to ooze out the witty nature of the original manuscript.
