Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My fascination for storytelling turned me into a writer. I write about my life, the moments I cherish and the moments I love. I write about history to know who I am, where I came from and where I am going. I write to discover the mysterious nature of this world and to understand my own existence. Writing eases my pain, heals me and allows me to let go of things and gives me hope to continue.

To convert my thoughts into words, I studied Creative Writing, Journalism Writing, Visual Culture + Marketing and Canonical English Novels in the department of English and American Studies at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. I also have a master’s degree in computer applications from Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE), Mysore. In my previous life, I worked as a software developer and analyst for various companies. Born in Bangalore, India, I have lived in several places in the Middle East and Europe. Today, I live in my stories disguised as a character. I also live in Germany.

A very interesting and adventurous read

Like a radiant sun is a mythological thriller. The story starts with archaeologist Rohan Sharma who is in Varanasi to renovate the Shiva temple and stumbles the ancient Manuscript the Marma kala. Which is all about martial arts techniques & the script was Devanagari, first-generation Sanskrit, at least five thousand years old. The Marma Kala teaches advanced martial arts, like the touch of death and the eye of death( a marma Yogi could kill just by looking at his enemy). It's an advanced form of Kalaripayattu, the martial art of Kerala.

When he deciphers the manuscript his life plunges into danger. Mysterious murders take place and he finds the target of the unknown group who are seeking to seize manuscripts from him. And a mysterious woman is following Rohan everywhere and saving him from all the attacks. Who is that mysterious woman? What's the secret behind the manuscript?

This is a very interesting & adventurous read with gripping narration & intriguing plot. Every chapter in the book starts with slogans taken from different Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita added more beauty to this storyline. Along with the story I loved the way Simultaneously gave information about our ancient history, the importance of our Vedas and a lot more information about martial arts. Loved the way all the events are taken place and the way every time Rohan decoded the manuscript simultaneously we get to know about our Vedic scriptures and ancient history.

The story makes readers curious to know about our history and Vedic Scriptures. It's well-researched and with each chapter, the story gets more exciting. The story makes readers curious to know about our ancient Vedas. This reminded me of the movies Brahmastra and the Telugu movie Karthikeya 2. With some improvements, this story has the potential to be a movie like that. It would be awesome to know more about marma yogi & kalarippayattu (One of the oldest forms of martial arts in India). Its available on Kindle Unlimited.
