(Disclaimer: Might have a few spoilers here)
Just two days was enough for me to finish this book and it took almost a week to write about it in my blog :(. Life just gets tougher and tougher nowadays.. But finally here I am :) determined to complete my pending posts
Ok now lets start with "Om Namah Shivaya".
This book was pre ordered and it came on the right time for me. I was getting a bit restless as and when days were going by. And thank Shiva it did not disappoint me :D
But there is one point though, somehow on the way, I dont know why, I felt that this Naga following Sati was none other than the Ganesh. Well, I put some logical reasoning behind it, coz by now, according to the laws of writing (as if I knew them ... ) the next son of Shiva & Parvati should have been introduced coz that cannot be done in the third book.. then it would become a book about Ganesh and not Shiva. And when the emotional angle of the Naga was shown in one or two places, it became obvious to me. But irrespective of that I was eager how this would be disclosed to Sati and Shiva. Well, Shiva's introduction to Ganesh was a surprise for me but his reaction was expected.
This book had too many twists and turns than the first one. And as they have said , nothing looks like what it is ... Things are getting cleared one by one and knots are being untied slowly. But this had a better finish than the first one, if I remember correctly. Brihaspati still alive and kicking .. wow.. Welcome back Guru :D
Two things stayed back with me after reading this book.
a. Nothing is good or bad. It is just relative (as I always say.. )
b. The opposite of Love is not Hate....but apathy.. this was good. Because no one else can understand this better at this moment than me. All the while I was thinking that I was hating a person , but actually it wasnt hate...it was apathy. I had termed it wrongly. Well that atleast got cleared. I just dont care a damn. That is all. And true, that this is the biggest punishment than hate. It messes with the other persons head more than hate. Because with hate you react to what they do and try to hurt them. So they also will react to you and that hate dance will go on. But with apathy, it becomes a one sided hate, which is so boring and drives them mad at times.. isnt... I know this and have seen this very closely (trust me, I mean it literally very closely )
Poor Shiva, everytime he goes behind a bad person it turns out that they are termed bad because of circumstances and they also have a story to tell. I feel so sorry for Him.
Now, I would have to wait for what happens next, coz whole of Shiva's family is together and all are together (obviously if Brihaspathi is alive, Ganesh will be forgiven and so all will be one big family) .. so who or what is the evil (if there is any). The lecture about desire was nice. I have read or heard it somewhere...dont remember where.
Well as usual, a good book, if you want to continue with the Shiva's story. And if you have read Immortals of Meluha, you obviously wouldnt miss this. Would you?
