About the Author
Abha Sharma is a life coach, a freelance writer and a personality development trainer. She has worked extensively with international industry leaders on online education.
Some books grow on us as time passes. Some books make sense after a long time. Some books also take time to complete. This is a rare phenomenon when some books make our intelligence and logic prick. This book by Abha Sharma gave such a feeling.
This book is the story of a teenager living in a small town in the Himalayan Hills. If religious practices overpower common sense, a person emerges irrespective of gender and age as the savior. In this story, Mahaguru is the local legend whose story and prophecies revolve around the temple on the hilltop.
One such prophecy says that one day Maharaj had a dream that the temple is a pure spot and no one should enter the temple after dark or trouble may haunt the sinner and the people of the town. After some deaths, this said prophecy is believed, and the dead people are named sinners.
But, on a closing note, there are some places where the story could have been more realistic, but the other features negate this. Few loose ends leave the story incomplete.
