Forbidden Flower

Forbidden Flower might well be that elusive Great Indian Novel.

It is philosophical, artistic, and even exotic with a spicy Indian flavor in spite of being played out on a global scale, touching geographical locales like Miami, London, and of course, select parts of a colourful and vibrant India.

The narrative is rooted in the dramatic confrontation between Immunitis, a modern disease deadlier than AIDS, (reaching pandemic levels in the West), and Ayurved, an ancient Indian system of healing, inherited from the gods and the sages.

It is also the saga of conflict between cutting edge modern science and sacred ancient wisdom. Between, momentary arrogance and enduring values. Igniting and sustaining the hope for a return to sanity through an eventful path of insane turbulence.
