Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
This is the author’s second book. His first book, ‘Adventures in three worlds’ is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned.
This book is like a treatise on the world’s reaction to the coronavirus, people are still going through. Life is just like a sea, we are moving constantly. Nothing stays with us, what remains are just the memories of some people who touched us like waves. We are loved when we are born; we may be loved or hated based on how we have managed ourselves in between. War and peace are part of life. The world produces war-mongers as well as great souls like Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela.
The virus brouhaha is an awakening to change. Now everyone know Wuhan!
The book briefly covers aspects of globalization, history of pandemics, biological warfare, Hindu scriptures, Covid-19 and India's lessons to the world. By applying cognizance, sobriety, intelligence and wisdom we have been creating superb technology and management systems; yet we have missed Brahminical way of living.
A Path to Discover may open a debate with views and counter-views. In one sentence, what lessons have we learned from the virus? The great Hindu Saint Tulsidas gave the answer in 16th century: In ‘dependence’ there is no happiness, even in a dream.
Natesan Ramalingam Iyer
Natesan Ramalingam Iyer, also known as Ram, hails from an orthodox Hindu Brahmin lower-middle-class family. His father’s roots are from a remote village called Palnat Agaram off Vellore in Tamil Nadu while his mother hails from Ponur, a village near Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu. Ram was the first in his clan to move out of Tamil Nadu and travel to north India and abroad.
The author is indebted to his former colleagues from Ocean Engineering Division (OED), Engineers India Ltd (EIL), Col. K.R Murty and late Dr. Anil Kumar Malhotra for kindling a passion for writing. The author’s daughter, Gayathri Satish, and granddaughter Pooja Satish inculcated in him not to give up this passion.
The author emphasizes to differentiate between “need” and “want”; choose the “NEED” rather than the “WANT”. Hopefully, this book will stimulate readers to understand that with every disaster, there is a path to discover a solution.
