Cracking Rahu: Navigating Desire, FOMO, and Chaos takes readers on an introspective journey through the beautifully chaotic realities of modern life, using Rahu—the North Node in astrology—as a subtle yet profound force that correlates with our deepest desires and relentless pursuits. But this book isn’t about fortune-telling or blind belief. Instead, Rahu is a use case chosen to reflect the illusions, ambitions, and chaos that shape our inner and outer worlds.
Through the stories of Neel, a tech-savvy dreamer escaping into virtual realms after his startup’s failure; Arya, his girlfriend striving to bridge emotional distance; and Shaan, their enigmatic friend exploring identity and love, Cracking Rahu explores the universal struggles of ambition, love, and self-discovery. At the heart of their journeys lies NV, a wise mentor who uses ancient wisdom to shed light on life’s toughest questions.
This book is for those early in their spiritual journey or anyone curious about astrology, mysticism, or manifestation. It offers practical insights and relatable narratives that bridge ancient philosophies with modern dilemmas, helping readers reflect on their own desires and choices. Rahu here isn’t just a celestial concept – it’s a lens through which we can understand our own unending chase for fulfilment.
Written with wit, warmth, and an engaging narrative style, Cracking Rahu invites readers to look inward, laugh, and find clarity amidst life’s chaos. Whether you’re a seeker, a sceptic, or simply someone looking for perspective, this book offers a mirror to understand not just the stars but also yourself.
