it is the story of a young dancer –and a French architect whose lives are infiltrated by the journey undertaken by Maitrayee and Yajnavalkya – of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad- eons ago- I’m using the words in the book here-
The story weaves in and out of the Vedic past and the contemporary present, interlinking 2 strangers on their parallel journeys that bind them closer with each step.
