Eternal Game of Life The Soul's Journey

Author Name: Ekalavya | Format: Paperback | Genre : BODY, MIND & SPIRIT | Other Details

Have you ever been aghast at God’s scheme of things? Have you ever felt helpless in the midst of all pervasive inequity and not being able to do anything? Ever felt like throttling the throats of those sophists who coo in your ears, “Oh the world is sooooo beautiful! Live in the present, as it’s a gift” kind of inane homilies, and get into a mood to smash a few things, blurt out profanities, or worse, get into depression?

The book tries to capture such moods and reflects on them to try and fathom His apparent ways. It starts with positive euphoria, dwells into texts to find solace, reflects deeply as to what can be done to find peace, and slowly gets to a realization that things will continue to just “be”.

Surrendering to His will in perfect understanding and without that “oh but the grapes are sour” kind of mindset, but yet being actively aware, would indeed be a sane if not sole option. “Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be”.

Read on, for the journey towards “realization” to unfold; allegorically comparing our life cycle to a Snakes and Ladders board game of ups and downs, euphoria and frustration, agonies and ecstasies, all of which abound till you reach home.

Ekalavya

The word “oxymoron” represents a conjunction of two words apparently contradicting each other.

A L Visweswaran (ALV), whose pseudonym is Ekalavya, moulds into this word comfortably. A talented misfit, often ridiculously sublime, an eternal 12th man without rancor, all with a humility which rejoices in self-flagellation, aptly describe his persona.

He headed a regional office of a corporate group for over fifteen years as the 12th man. All company representatives reported directly to their respective companies. He took blame for all their failures, and ceded credit to them for any success. Tata’s shenanigans of today, or the coalition headed by Vajpayee with ministers reporting to their party heads, perhaps, bolster the need for this 12th man!

To kill ennui, he started an office magazine, got into writing a blog and printed a book for his family titled Jignyaasaa. This book is his first attempt at publishing.

He is a graduate in Chemistry, is on the threshold of 70, and a resident of Delhi since birth, save some brief interregnums. His wife, Geetha, and son, Umesh, live with him.

His interests include astrology and music, where he feels happy to be a 12th man; the pseudonym “Ekalavya” aptly befitting this description.
