The Space that Life Has

About the Book

New Delhi journalists Sufi and Amar find themselves on the road in search of a village called Poori in the distant hills of Northern India. The very definition of Poori, which means complete, urges them to find out more. Why have people from all over the world settled there? What is 'complete' to them?

Their journey confronts them with a host of unusual situations. They travel through a quaint Indian village that has a strange custom of weaving and selling dreams. They meet Asha, a woman whose name means hope; the local doctor, Hari Chacha, and his son, Kalla; Baba and Grace; and the village children. Fascinated with their ongoing discoveries, the two journalists decide to continue their quest.

They finally reach Poori to discover another meaning of the word complete; one that compels them to let go of the tiny prisms that they viewed life from.
