The Author has successfully described the unity of the contents Life, Love and Kumbh. At every Kumbh time, millions of Hindus take part in the merriment. Kumbh Mela festival is religiously most significant for the Hindus. The book is but obviously centered on Life, Love and Kumbh. Going by the title, one can easily predict, the content of the book. Similarly, the references on western philosophy and religion are also a plenty. Like the name of the cat Mishti is a story of Guy De Mupassant and so on. All the names are a reference to stories of literature. The references are more to do with Greek mythology and Literature. The book is an ode to literature, the date 13th January is the death day of James Joyce. The fact more or less of the Indian Literary world is this: Authors are receiving back to their legendary roots and churning out the so-called, “chartbuster of the year”. reminded me a lot of about Vedanta and Purana. I had a tough time getting through this book. is not one of those books that can be read in one sitting.
