DIVYASTRA

 


Quote: - The single greatest cause of happiness is gratitude

Divyastra is a different kind of storytelling, a read that is not going to leave you exhausted will rather leave you elated. The book starts with a promising note, A hall full of listeners spectators comprising of students, professors, delegates, scientists, military personals all eager to listen Dr. Vyas a physics Nobel Laurate speaking of “Future of Weaponry”. Dr. Vyas’s lecture is entertaining and enlightening and gives a different perspective and approach to Indian Mythology and Vedic science. His lecture resembles a class of theology and ancient war craft. The book parallelly narrates the story of Shankar who is disappointed with his life and its outcome. He lives a mediocre life working in BPO and still in pursuit of finding his identity. A sudden news of his father’s accident and his visit to Gopalpur turns his life around for good. Though he ends up loosing his father to discover himself. For me the highlight of Divyastra is the stories narrated by his grandfather, they are captivating and gives us a closure to Dr. Vyas’s lecture and takes us towards the real story. Namish tactfully converges both the parallel plots to one and the convergence is excruciating and enticing. The book Divyastra is an intriguing read crafted by Namish Tanna. The book is divided in smaller chapters which makes it a convenient read and shows its relevance with the storyline. This was a fast yet fulfilling read.
