Life is never prosaic. It is always unpredictable. This unpredictable nature was revealed when the author was tried to be killed by a stranger. He was stabbed for fifteen times. But he survived and after a prolonged treatment was able to rediscover love and life amid the thick swath of darkness! A glib flow of thoughts accompanied by the exhaustive use of metaphorical images. A worth reading indeed!
