Chasing the mirages of life in the sands of despair, one tends to set upon a journey of disarray, exemplified by Chandra’s self-perceived ugliness that stymies his adolescent urges, Nithya’s plight brought about by Vasu’s jilting, Prema’s dejection occasioned by Sathya’s juvenile delinquency. Unfolding the possibilities of life in the oasis of hope in Chandra’s self-discovery and Sathya’s atonement, the novel depicts the pitfalls in ‘stalking ways’ through Nithya’s retribution and pictures the poignancy of poetic justice in Kala doing a ‘Sathya’ to Sathya.

Work Description

If passing through youth was like crossing the mirage of life for Chandra and Nithya, it proved to be chasing the mirage of love for Sathya and Prema though for plain Vasavi, Chandra's pitiable sibling, it was the end of the road.
As life brings Chandra, who suffers from an inferiority complex for his perceived ugliness, and Nithya, who was bogged down being jilted by Vasu, together, they script their fate of fulfillment.
And as poetic justice would have it, Sathya, who caused Prema's heart burn, himself was led down the garden path by Kala, doing a "Sathya on Sathya".
Just not that, life has in store just deserts for Vasu owing to Nithya's retribution as he tries to stalk her. Besides, after many a fictional twist and turn, the way the story ends, challenges the perception that fact is stranger than fiction.
Begin now with the book - Youth is the mirror that tends us to the reality of our looks. The reflections of our visages that insensibly get implanted in our subconscious lend shape to our psyche to define the course of our life....
