When Life Turns Turtle Journey Of A bollywood Tramp

Indraneel is a young and successful film-maker, an alumnus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In an intoxicating relationship with a young and beautiful aspiring actress, his next film is being hailed as a blockbuster. Things couldn't be going any better. Suddenly, without warning, Indraneel's life overturns. Hurt floods his heart and soul, seemingly beyond redemption

He arrives in Rishikesh, a mountain town by the river. The artist within him, as well as the bruised individual, senses the timeless love and solace emanating from the Ganga and the Himalayas, but innumerable whys continue to invade his thoughts. Introduced to Shaman, a bookseller with a difference, and a 'closet guru', the deeply sceptical Indraneel is introduced to a bewilderingly new, yet strangely magnetic world of spiritual seeking.

As the seasons pass, as pass they will...Indraneel gradually opens his mind to what he finds around him, delving step by step into the truth about spirituality and human existence. A measure of peace finally descends on his tormented mind.

But the world beckons yet again and Indraneel stands at a crossroads once more. He is asked to make a difficult choice. Will he submit to the strong current of spirituality now flowing within him? Does a spiritual life mean giving up everything else? Can he ever go back to the world? Will he find the happiness he so desperately seeks?

The world that Raj Supe creates is vividly described with a true artiste's eye for detail. Set in the 'belief land of Rishikesh' on the banks of Ganga 'perennial river of India's mystical past' his story leads the reader through light and shadow to the goal Indraneel, the protagonist, has set himself a life of spiritual blissRaj serves up a rich repast from which no reader can depart unfulfilled. ~ Benjamin Gilani"
