A story of revenge and redemption; deeds shaped by forces that humans believe they have defined through mythology and scriptures but still struggle to understand.

A woman employee of a retirement home is shocked to discover that a new resident is, in fact, the son impersonating his father. The son is seeking retribution. She, by her past actions, is unwittingly complicit in his being there and now has to thwart his peculiar plans. A senile woman-resident and an enigmatic founder offer him sage advice. The Samudra Manthan (a major episode in Hindu mythology), a slightly dim secretary and a sinister boss play their part in ensuring justice is finally served but in an unexpected manner. The novel quotes frequently from the ancient Hindu scriptures and stories that the protagonists use to justify their actions. The treatment of the elderly in society is a major theme. The novel is a 2017 SPR (Self-Publishing Review) Book Awards finalist.
