The moment I leafed through this
book I was reminded of a quote from the movie Alice in Wonderland.
“I’m
sorry, but how can one possibly pay attention to a book with no pictures in it?” –Alice.
This is what set's the book apart, the
natural photography that is weaved intricately with the plot as the story
progresses. Four different stories from different parts of the country entwined
into one unfold "The Stopover."
The Tibetan Wheels of Wisdom is not
just the story of Varun and Meghna but Varun's exploration of Tibet and the
life of people residing there. When you move past the first couple of pages,
you feel you’re being transported to an alternate universe exploring the
unexplored culture hidden deep within the plains and valleys of Tibet.
The photographs used are
picture perfect and add a glint to the story, more like refreshing it and not
keeping it monotonous which at times happens when travel merges with
emotions. This book to me is categorized as a travel book with a twist and I'm in
love with the concept.
When I reached the end, I wanted to
read more and I felt a pang of incompleteness, all I'm trying to say is that it
keeps the reader glued till the very end. And to be very true I like the
concept of “Voyages to the unexplored dimensions.”
This is just the initial glimpse of the book. I would have loved to write more, but it would be like spilling the beans even before its release. The author’s have done a remarkable job and I’m confident this book will be a huge success.
