Shweta Agarwal is from India.

At the time she was born, her father was posted on the Himalayan borders; on duty under minus temperatures. He rushed a telegram, suggesting the name as soon as he got the news that a baby girl has arrived!

The family blood had talented writers and poets; still has.

Shweta took up a masters degree in science and worked as a professional teacher/ guest teacher for ten years.

Though she has high regard for teaching as a profession, she switched into publishing industry as an editor; she found it difficult to handle so many hormonal levels in school; honestly, and has not regretted ever. At Neelkanth Publishers, her latent interest in writing and reading saw the light of the day and her creativity took wings.

She is a very spiritual person. Her mother is her anchor.

Her husband loves her dearly, and their two boys dote on them. Shweta is blessed with loving friends from childhood, her colleagues from school, office, and students who send their remembrances after all these years.

She has put the intention to the universe "Give to me the destiny that awaits me since".

She also has a facebook page where you can interact with her. It would be fun knowing each other.

The author is wonderful at imparting her knowledge of the Hindu culture on to the reader. It's a beautiful story of an unlikely friendship that will make the reader question their own ideas of mortality and spirituality. The author's descriptions of the settings are captivating. Highly recommend this book for anyone!

This is a short read. Takes about an hour depending on how fast you go. I was expecting much less from it than what I got. This thought me alot about a different culture and why they think the way they do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book with a spiritual foundation
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017
I have always found the Hindu culture to be very interesting. Everything from the history, beliefs, and the people that follow the beliefs. This book explores several of the deepest curiosities of spirituality. It delves into death, rebirth, and finding religious release. The story is about two main characters, an anthropologist and a young tribesman. They go on an adventure to the Andaman islands, where the anthropologist discovers all kinds of eye-opening aspects of spirituality. The amount of detail and imagery is amazing in this book. As the author was describing the locations, I had to google the Andaman islands, the detail in the writing makes you want to be there. This book pulls you into the story, and is a very easy read with a nice flow to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising and thought provoking
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017
What started off as a seemingly innocuous story about someone searching for proof of evolution took a surprising turn into a tale which dips into some very profound questions of life, moral code, death, rebirth, and fundamental relationships. Shweta Agarwal brings to life a vibrant culture with beautiful imagery and two unlikely characters. I found myself inexplicably drawn in and truly enjoyed the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful Journey through Mystery and Philosophy
Reviewed in India on October 5, 2023

It is a thought-provoking book that took me on a journey through the intricacies of life, death, karma, redemption, morality, and finding fulfillment. The author has beautifully captured the vivid themes of life with her flowy and colourful language. It is a mystery that, initially, especially for naive readers, might seem like those preachy, articulate, rhetoric-filled religious discourses. But, believe me, fellow readers, Shweta, the author, not only has artfully prompted deep questions about human nature and the potential for growth and change but with the non-linear narrative keeps the readers hooked to the storyline. Like it happened to me, I’m sure other readers will also be forced to reflect on their own lives and actions and try to locate the center of their “motivations” of their desires.

Now, to balance my review more, let me talk about some of the weak points. While the non-linear narrative style and jumping between past and current life makes the story captivating, sometimes, and let me emphasize, only on some of occasions, it becomes a little erratic. Similarly, if the character of Pithecanthropus erectus could be more detailed, it would be easier to empathize with his journey and actions. While the style is poetic and eloquent, adding a deep “dark” depth to the storyline, it sometimes becomes dense and challenging to decipher.

Overall, I have not read such a book for a long time that merges philosophical themes and mystery this much effortlessly! This is the strength and USP of the book. This is a must-read book for people who want to gain practical insights into our actions, motivations, and karma in a joyous, intrigue-building manner.

In this beautifully written book, the author very adeptly conveyed what it means to be a human. Without sermonizing the author could tell why it is important to be good. Loved the smooth flow of the prose and crisp storytelling. A must read.
