    About this ebook

    “These human relations are incomprehensible,” said Paras, looking at his friend who was sitting across the table in that small restaurant. It was on the second floor of a shopping complex, a kind of attached terrace where there were about ten tables for the visitors.

    Nadeem finished his coffee and looked curiously at Paras. He did not know why Paras suddenly looked strange to him.

    He wanted to say something, but Paras resumed, “I have been trying to evaluate human relations, but now I feel that I am useless. Are these relations assessed on the basis of physical satisfaction, or on the basis of mental fulfillment? I have failed, utterly failed.”

      Chapter One: Separation

      These human relations are incomprehensible, said Paras, looking at his friend who was sitting across the table in that small restaurant. It was on the second floor of a shopping complex, a kind of attached terrace where there were about ten tables for the visitors.

      Nadeem finished his coffee and looked curiously at Paras. He did not know why Paras suddenly looked strange to him.

      He wanted to say something, but Paras resumed, I have been trying to evaluate human relations, but now I feel that I am useless. Are these relations assessed on the basis of physical satisfaction, or on the basis of mental fulfillment? I have failed, utterly failed.

      You sound like a very tired philosopher, Paras. Is there something wrong? Tell me, I am your friend, maybe I can suggest some way out of the problem, said Nadeem, trying to inspire Paras.

      The restaurant where they were having coffee was very old. It was named Miracle. The table they had occupied was near the railing and they had a good view of the road below. It was a busy road, but not systematically monitored by the traffic policemen standing there. Everything moved together: cars, trucks, cycles, cows, dogs, rickshaws, cycles, and pedestrians.

      Across the road there were two popular movie theatres. Between those two movie theatres there was a big shopping centre which was frequented by both the people of the town and tourists.

      It was a cold place, a hill station, that is why everything was acceptable, but had it been a road with so much activity on it in any other city in the plains life would have been difficult for the people.

      Along the road, on the pavements on both sides, there were small stalls of street vendors and they were shouting at the top of their voices, trying to attract the passersby to buy their goods. Outside that
