Synopsis

In this thought-provoking collection of ten stories, acclaimed polymath Jayant Burde explores the intricate labyrinth of societal norms, ethics, and human behaviour. Set against diverse social and cultural backgrounds, the narratives examine how tradition, belief, and personal choices shape lives and relationships. Through diverse narratives ranging from "Curlina" to "The Temple of Yama," Burde weaves engaging puzzles that defy easy resolution. Blending philosophical insight with engaging storytelling, the book invites readers to reflect on the consequences of human actions and the enduring influence of cultural values. Each story offers a stimulating perspective on life's moral and social complexities.
