This book narrates the real-life journey of a small-town boy born in the middle of the twentieth century. It tells how life carries him through innumerable facets of economic scarcity,social rigidities, age-old cultural values and religious beliefs to eventually lead him into the realm of a boundless spiritual experience. The protagonist sails through various ego states to ascend to a state of absolute humility and finally merges with the Creator! The intriguing saga of the 'hold-all' to ‘push-start’ vehicles adds an arresting twist to the journey. An interesting read into the past, that moved at a leisurely pace as against life’s present mind-boggling race against time.
