HarperCollins India. Hardcover. NEW. In a fortuitous encounter at a serene park, two strangers find solace in each other's company, unaware of the profound impact their meeting would have on their lives. Sonal, once a distinguished sociology professor and a passionate activist, now battles the haunting effects of memory loss and acute depression. Abhay, a prominent genetic engineer in the past, is now a fugitive on the run, ensnared by paranoia as he evades the very establishment that once revered his radical scientific breakthroughs. To the unforgiving eyes of the world, Sonal and Abhay appear as mere lunatics, lost within the depths of their own minds. However, their connection transcends conventional understanding, their shared experiences forging an unbreakable bond of kinship. Unbeknownst to society, they are far from insane; rather, they have been burdened with the weight of a truth too revolutionary to be embraced by a deluded culture. Amidst their shared struggles, Abhay entrusts his most clandestine musings to Sonal. In the form of a book, he reveals a radical, paradigm-shifting perspective that challenges the very foundations of societal norms. As Sonal delves into the profound ideas expressed within its pages, she realizes that their thoughts are bound by a common thread.
