There is no ghost or spirits or any supernatural things but it was horrifying with a lot of violence.

Many think that that spirituality is related to religion and for the theist but it is wrong anyone can become a spiritual person. The book is all about it. One can attain spirituality from where they are, doesn't need to get to Kailas and meditate.

We should spend time alone and understand ourselves first. To my knowledge, we know more about others than us and what we are, our positive and negative sides.

The book is really interesting with a lot of twists and turns. The way it is narrated was great. German scientists coming to India to find a vessel that can create a cross-species. There is a lot of description of it in various Indian mythologies. The findings from Dwaraka - the lost city, Ajanta and Ellora caves, and the tunnel connecting it all was amazing. We will be amazed by each thing explained, the science and philosophy. The story says about Aryans and their findings which are more techie and they have developed more weapons and scientific discoveries the current scientists still trying to find. All the scripts have hidden science in them. They don't want it to reach the wrong hands.

Faith, Love, belief
In this book, it is the journal of a girl named Neha who lives in Kerala, she says about her family, friends, lover, his family and happenings in life.

She has immense faith in God, Jesus and calls him Appa(dad). In the journal more than her happenings in life, it is more about God, her faith, belief and verses from the bible.

She believes whatever happens or happened, good or bad is part of the play by God. First few chapters were more about her and the last chapters were more about God. The pace was very slow.

In the last few chapters, we can know there is something that disturbs her as she says about some examples from the bible and about forgiving sin. Waiting to read the next book in the series.

The book is really interesting. This is a story where an amateur detective solves his first case. Ghanshyam Shashtri wants to be a private detective and make it his career and he doesn't get any cases as he has a sister and the family is run by his mother, she wants him to take a job that makes him earn money because his passion is not giving any money. He asked for some time and given an ad in the local newspaper. At the end of the last day when he decided to quit there was a call from a lady called Rajni who gave him a case. Her fiance died, he committed suicide on Diwali night shooting with his licensed gun and she want to know whether it is a suicide or not.

Finally, Shyam got the case and started investing and concluded it as suicide but it was not later he found the suicide note was something he heard in the theatre drama, the same one. The artist was Rajni's friend he loved her but how the actor will use his script to make murder into suicide is really a foolish act. Anket was not the one who did it. There is a twist waiting for everyone. They didn't give the case to the police as they planned to close the case with an amateur detective. This is the wrong decision on the part of murderers. With the help of the police, Ghanshyam reveals the truth. Felt like I was watching a movie. The reason behind the murder was really bad. Vikram was also a characterless person with a confusing relationship. The personal life of Ghanshyam which had a happy ending was really good and loved the way Madhuri and Ghanshyam wished to get married with the permission of their parents and waited till they got the acceptance.

The story is written so well and was intriguing.

The story is very interesting with characters from mythology and history. Manu is a normal boy who is very interested in mythology and knowing about various religion and Gods. Manu is taken to Shambala where the Kalki Avataar will come. Manu was taken to Shambala by Ashwatama and Hamlet. You can see our Emperor Ashoka in Shambala. Manu is the God Manu who will be boatman of a great ship with human beings, animals, plants and seeds to start a new yuga. There is a lot of interpretation by Manu on Gods but The king of Shambala, Shambalak gives a different explanation. Manu will never attain salvation as it is his duty to the boatman and do the same job again and again. He has some ideas to attain salvation and escape from the never-ending loop.

There are a lot of surprises waiting in this book.
