About The Book

This powerful autobiography offers a reflective insight into the resilience and sacrifices made by the earth itself, metaphorically comparing the struggles of human life to the unyielding patience and toil of the soil. The book’s title, Ploughing, is not just about the physical act of plowing the earth but symbolizes a deeper understanding of the Earth’s selflessness, as it bears the brunt of all the sharp implements used in its cultivation, while silently enduring the intense sun and nurturing the land for the greater good of all life forms.

The narrative unfolds the metaphor of plowing as the earth's compassionate yet suffocating act, patiently awaiting the rain to nourish and restore the life it fosters. The Earth is portrayed as a mother—longing for relief, yet continuously enduring hardships to ensure that all living creatures, from cattle to birds, animals, and insects, receive what they need. It becomes a journey of compassion, endurance, and transformation, filled with the unspoken beauty of nature's endless cycle of creation.

Through this thought-provoking narrative, the book invites the reader to consider the subtle yet significant role that the earth plays in sustaining life, and the unseen strength it provides to all who depend on it. The act of plowing, though often associated with hard labor, is elevated here as a symbol of selfless creativity, sacrifice, and hope for a prosperous harvest.
