To find oneself flung from peace and tranquility into a cauldron of greed and unbridled passion can be quite disconcerting. And if you are a young man on the path of discovery and understanding of life, it could be most demotivating and even disheartening. But when you’re out to take life by the horns, you obviously have to come to grips with it. So it was with Madhav. Propagating the theory of ’Karma’ and displaying his faith in unconditional devotion to honest and sincere work, he fought temptation and let no ambition come in the way of his chosen path. In the process, hurdles of unsolicited romance and offers of huge monetary gains came his way but assisted by his caring wife, he earned the respect of his peers and senior colleagues. Problem situations unraveled themselves with his help and, true to his belief and conviction, he found himself amply rewarded without his ever having to struggle for it. A thought provoking story with its beginnings in the city of Delhi in the early1980s. Very contemporary inasmuch as people, especially in India where it is based, can easily relate to it.
