Varun is a recent engineering graduate. His hours are filled with friends, pub hopping, and ‘stalking’ his love interest on Facebook. Through it all though, Varun harbours ambitions of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Meanwhile, Varun’s mother, who is disturbed by her son’s lack
of focus on life, enlists her good friend Anu Aunty to put him on ‘track’. The meddling Anu Aunty is more than willing to take up this assignment. How Varun dodges Anu Aunty’s nosey, irksome ways, en route to realizing his entrepreneurial dreams, makes for a story worth reading.
One of them is a brilliant nineteen-year-old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling her towards a slow, painful death. She counts every extra breath as a blessing. The other is a wasteful twenty-five-year-old drug addict whose every organ system is slowly shutting down. He can’t wait to get rid of his body–to him, the sooner the better.
Two reputed doctors, fighting their own demons from the past, try everything to keep these two patients alive, even putting their medical licenses at risk.
These last days in the hospital change the two patients, their doctors and all the other people around them in ways they had never fathomed.
Till the Last Breath is a heart-warming story about love, life and friendship that reminds us what it means to be alive.
1900 B.C. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge. Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?
EVIL HAS RISEN.
