About The Book:

This compilation of forty essays by the eminent writer Shri V.S. Khandekar, written between 1925 and 1976, presents a diverse collection of thoughts, reflections, and insights. Khandekar's essays explore a range of topics, each offering deep meaning and a style that is uniquely his own. His writing is known for its boldness and openness, providing readers with the ability to engage in self-reflection through his words.

For those interested in understanding the socio-political and cultural shifts in India during both the pre- and post-independence periods, this collection is a must-read. The essays skillfully capture the essence of the times, offering a window into the changing landscape of India.

Khandekar explores the concept of human life, stating that it is ultimately the pursuit of reality after chasing dreams. He emphasizes that life can only be humanistic when materialism is balanced with emotions and a drive to improve society. Otherwise, it risks becoming a "may-fly culture," leading to perversion, abnormalities, and distortion.

In a world marked by lust and inhuman behavior, these essays are essential for understanding the core of humanity and for finding direction in a world that often seems morally adrift. This collection provides a profound commentary on the complexities of life and human nature.
