Book review:
"The Incomplete Quest" is an inspiring and thought-provoking story of a young man, Aakash who wants to take a break from his busy life and find the purpose of his life. He embarks on a life-changing journey which leads to discovering a new purpose to his life along the way.
Aakash is a well-qualified engineer with a great career at MNC. Life was smooth sailing for him and he was about to get a promotion with a 25-30%hike till he got disenchanted with his corporate job and resigns. Without any expectations, he sets off on a journey to discover his true calling.
He begins by looking at the Modern Art Gallery in Delhi where he meets Aakriti. Though he is an introvert he feels comfortable in her presence. Their friendship blossoms. Slowly with the help of his friend Sourabh, he joins a part-time works and starts off his journey to the Himalayas.
On his journey of self-discovery, he finds true love, meets several fascinating people and makes meaningful contributions to the people around him. But will Aakash be able to discover his life's true purpose?
The author has put forward so many questions raising awareness about love, relationships, social responsibility and many more. The language of the book is evocation and engrossing. His peculiar way of bringing complexities of relationships is praiseworthy.
Each chapter begins with a verse of a Hindi song and Hindi quotes and anecdotes add to the narrative. The readers are taken on an incomplete quest and how it can be made complete.
Overall, it is a compelling read. Worth reading, do grab it!

ReplyDeleteThat was a short and crisp review- it covered the broad outline, the cover ( yes I'm superficial enough to be affected by that!), and your thoughts about this book. Of late I have been inclined to read more about spirituality and my previous read - 'Being a Journey' was about that. This one seems like something that will keep the spiritual fire burning. I am getting this.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds interesting. At some point of life, we all question our purpose. This seems more like a quarter life crisis with positive results.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a self-help book in the form of a fictional story which is an interesting combination. Through Akash's journey, I'm sure the readers are enlightened and find answers about their own purposes in life. Will check this one. Thanks for letting me know about it through your review

ReplyDeleteEach chapter begins with a verse of a Hindi song and Hindi quotes and anecdotes - this line of your review actually reminds me of another book by our blogger come author Buddy Manali which got released very recently Heartstrings and Harmonies. Will love to read this book too

ReplyDeleteadding Hindi songs and quotes at the start of each chapter - now thats an interesting way to tell a story :) stories of life and love and the paths we take are so interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteThese kind of books are so inspirational. It's not easy to come out of your comfort zone and follow your dreams. But when you see people doing that then you feel y not me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting book to review. I have come across so many techies, diversifying into art and culture. I don't understand why parents force kids to pursue streams which kids are not happy with. I recently came across a software professional who has ;left his corporate job and has started his own muzic and dance academy.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like an interesting read. I loved the short and sheet, but precise review.
ReplyDeleteSounds quite interesting, thanks for the review!
