"SIGMA as life sums it all" is first of the books in the author's trilogy on Karmic behavior. This is a collection of fast-paced short stories that are inspired by real characters in the author's life the kin and the dear ones who broke away from the path of righteousness! SIGMA is his first work of fiction, but the driver in this book remains the same as his previous technical books analysing and working on (managing) the 'cause' to improve the 'effect'! Philosophically, SIGMA is about the cause & effect relationship between the intent & deeds (cause) and its Karmic retributions during an individual's lifetime (effect)! The author believes that when you see your acts, and the reckonings thereof, in a short time-window, you will tend to take short-cuts. But when you would stretch the reference time duration of reconciliation to a full life-time, you would realise why one should always be virtuous.
