The Rozabal Line – Review!

I finished this novel last week itself but did not find time to write about it…and to add it all the finish of the novel was a bit too contradictory to the whole novel……..involving Karma and the legendary Hindu Goddess with her three inevitable forms of avatar… delving into one single force of Power and Eternity!

Now, ou might be wondering what is this all about….!! Will unfold!!!

This book seems to be questioning most of the beliefs we have or inculcated into the society from the day one. There is so much in the novel that you are so astonished at the facts and figures and the urge to delve further into the history and realism of them keeps you awake and keeps you reading it…..

I appreciate the way the book is presented to us…it has a different style of writing…it is written according to the dates and the dates of a calender is what keeps you moving about…you travel between eras and you find the hidden truths of things that are not visible at first…!

The novel starts off with the quest for the lineage of Christ…and it travels to India and the ‘Heaven on Earth – Kashmir’ is the place where we come to know that Christ breathed his last and then on we go through a roller coaster ride to know the origins of Mary Magdalene, King Ashoka, King Siddarath (Gautam Budda), the incarnation of Krishna, and many others….!

The book deals with varied facts and history and the various beliefs that man have carried down since the birth of Christ…it also deals with the terrorism that questions the humanness and the horrid fact about killing human mercilessly and the politics that is involved in the making of terrorism groups – you name it, it is described here…!

This book does not appear as a fable sometimes in-spite of it being one…!! It has the wonderful art of story telling binding each act and action into one of the best story that can be foretold with history as a fact…!

The use of the several biggest beliefs of human and shaking them to the core with your work is one side but the fabricated linkage between each episode and the occurrences makes you wonder if all this which is unfolding before your eyes…Can this be true…?!

You feel you could do a research on those facts and prove them as fable or truth and then go on seeing the world in different angles..!

Well, if listening is not enough…seeing is a kind of proof that we hold truth! But, what we have read makes us think that the possibility of Karma to a larger extend.

Maybe we are Indians and we believe in the ‘Karma Effect’ even with or without our own conscious convincing us….! This novel makes a great deal to the thinking mind…!

Believe if you want to take a dip into the varied facts and beliefs that are before us…take a plunge into the novel that can make you rock..!!

But somehow I did not like the way the novel ended…it could have been something different with all those journey between past and future…I was expecting another end to it…but after all it is a novel…What else can you expect that is more befitting!!!

Read it once………to know what I am saying! It is worth a read…!
