Book Review: Maya: Lifting the Veil

The present circumstances are such where everyone is living in uncertainity and no one knows how things are going to be in the future. Amar B. Singh is one writer who knows how to convey more things through few words. He did the magic in “A Week With Enya” and continues to do that in "Maya: Lifting the Veil".

The author chooses the battlefield of Kurukshetra and takes a plunge in mythological writing through his poetry. But his creative genuis comes to the forefront when he takes up a hypothetical situation and tries to give voice to the collective feelings of most human beings through this situation. Through his writing, the author tries to show the scientific and religious side of human thinking and above everything, faith in God. 

In the preface he tells appropriately how different was life some time back and how much it has changed now. Overall, it can be said that he has very closley felt the psychological state people have at present and does a fair job in giving words to those feelings.
