The Quest of the Sparrows' by Authors Kartik Sharma and Ravi 'Nirmal' Sharma Released
The Book Seeks to Explore the Higher Meaning of Life with Practical Insights
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- 'The Quest of the Sparrows', the much awaited debut novel by authors Kartik Sharma and Ravi 'Nirmal' Sharma has been released. 'The Quest of the Sparrows' is published by Rupa Publications India.
'The Quest of the Sparrows' explores the higher meaning of life through an entertaining, path-breaking story of Partibhan, a young and reluctant guru who sets out on a six hundred kilometer journey on foot, without money or belongings along with his disciples.
Partibhan feels that human beings have the potential to become powerful creators, but their anxiety to secure the future reduces them to mere survivors. Inspired by the life of a sparrow that doesn't hoard for the future but lives every day of its life without worry, Partibhan sets off on this testing journey. He wishes to demonstrate to his followers that man's fixation on materialism and the need to accumulate is overrated: Survival isn't the goal of life. A much bigger role, a higher calling, an evolution awaits all of us.
The amazing yet lucid narrative answers many questions we come across in the course of our lives through incidents and characters that touch a chord and leave a lasting impact. The book is refreshingly approachable because it looks at the underlying theme from the point of view of a critic, a hopeful follower and the leader himself. The fictional account stays clear from being preachy: the handicap of most books on spirituality.
Commenting on his book, Kartik Sharma, says, "Writing is my passion. Being fortunate to have studied from IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, which are known for their contributions to the world, gave me the confidence to pursue my dream of writing. It is my sincere belief that there is an untapped excellence in all people and there couldn't have been a better medium than the theme of this book to convey it. I sincerely hope that the practical insights in the book will trigger evolutionary changes in lives of my readers. I would call this a life changing, inspiring book."
Speaking about the novel, co-author Ravi 'Nirmal' Sharma, adds, "People seem unhappy despite running their rat races willingly and getting all that they chase. Too late they realize they were on a wrong journey, a wrong chase. This book is all about doing the right things to evolve into a happier human being."
The book can be purchased from all leading book stores and popular online shopping portals.
