My latest book is The One Who Swam With The Fishes. "A mesmerizing account of the well-known story of Matsyagandha ... and her transformation from fisherman’s daughter to Satyavati, Santanu’s royal consort and the Mother/Progenitor of the Kuru clan." - Hindustan Times "Themes of fate, morality and power overlay a subtle and essential feminism to make this lyrical book a must-read. If this is Madhavan’s first book in the Girls from the Mahabharata series, there is much to look forward to in the months to come." - Open Magazine "A gleeful dollop of Blytonian magic ... Reddy Madhavan is also able to tackle some fairly sensitive subjects such as identity, the love of and karmic ties with parents, adoption, the first sexual encounter, loneliness, and my favourite, feminist rage." - Scroll |

Love the feelings that this post evokes and the concept of "urban meditation". Really admire gems like these from your writing. It's so true that as you mentioned, on a straight, long rode where driving becomes a mechanical action, it is so easy to lose oneself in a train of thoughts...
ReplyDeleteI so agree. Sometimes, I take an off from work ( I have a 9 to 6 job), just to go drive on that road. Feels like being back to the queen's era.
