Artha

Books by Nagaraj Neergundha

Life is a chain of illusions. The path of human existence is to move from one illusion to another, or with several illusions through the time of one's life. To the man caught in the business of day to day existence, the change following a disillusionment and the decision he makes brings the satisfaction of a return to reality. Another disillusionment is needed for him to realize that it was also an illusion that hung above his head like the hood of a serpent.
