I have made it a purpose to study the human predicament and when Abhishek Chaturvedi mentioned the story he had stitched together, I was intrigued.
Sitting by the fireside, he narrated this quaint bildungsroman, The (In)Significant Soul. It was a jagged tale that bumped on childhood uncertainties. It choked on adolescent emotions and broke down with real adult fears. Through all this, the mettle of the resolute hero shone through.
The (In)Significant Soul is a coming-of-age piece that reflects the dauntless spirit of Kabir, the hero of the book. This ordinary boy with an extraordinary spirit dares the reader to live his trials, grapple with his insecurities and take his disappointments with an unearthly calm.
The troubled relationship with a distant father and the maze of uncertainties of a child's mind living with a mother who lives on her own terms takes the reader through a labyrinth of unexpected trails.
The boy's journey comes alive through an everydayness that echoes the shared human experience and it matures with the stoicism of the man in uniform.
Is a soldier's life ever ordinary or commonplace? He lives like a sand-dune. Shifting and changing form with the winds of time.
