I am done with nine lives by William Darlymple.This book took enough space in my brain to think and rethink about the characters scattered around India.Every life from north to south,east to west has its own beautiful excuses ,strong belief and its own contradictions.
William has written in an amazing way connecting land and people with their own native convictions.From Devadasi to Fakhir,from singers to sadhus ,from Rebellious monk to Theyyam dancers.I found one similarity in all nine lives, either they have their excuses in the name of God or strong belief over whatever they do ,let it finding Kali ma in cremation ground or Devi at temple.
Its a good ,simple read with incredible detailing of simple beings whom we see in our day today life.
