Why would a simple backbencher, hater of those philosophical conversations boring people do, irritating academic books, actually anything written in general — suddenly, aspire to become an academician? Why did he write this weird book in such a hurry? Like he desperately wants to dump Havana omelette but someone has brutally stopped him from going to the toilet, until he completes his homework. Samrat an irregular but happy college going lad suddenly gets a hard kick from life, when his flatmate Bob drowns and dies during a secret, fun trip to Goa. As Samrat walks in to pay last tributes to his friend, the deceased’s father hands him a letter, where he requests Samrat to adopt one strong quality of his son that had the potential to change lives, so that the greatness inside that lifeless body doesn’t perish along with it, further mentioning that particular attribute to be a seed that Samrat had to adopt and nurture, until its harvest. Creepy enough, after this episode life takes a completely different turn for Samrat, who ultimately finds himself in a rehabilitation centre, staring at a second shot at life. Was it a mere co-incidence or that part of a dead friend in him, trying to come out alive? You decide!
About the author — Pralakshya is a 25 year old Indian author born and raised in the Himalayan state of Sikkim, currently working for a Data Services Company in Bangalore. He studied B.COM in MS Ramaiah College and took up a correspondence degree in BA (History, Economics and Psychology) from GITAM University.
A below average student ever since his 5th grade, he always felt he had an important message to share but never knew what that message was, forget about how he was going to deliver it. He got his first insight during a solo backpacker’s trip to Rishikesh, a trip supposedly planned for a week that turned into a month’s long stay.
Upon his return, he tried typing words but the brain still remained constipated like it always was, until one fine day, everything started pouring out effortlessly in an organised manner, and he not only was able to write down the message but fictionalize it to help people better understand, what everything was all about.
“It’s really hard to describe The Crown Of Intelligence” he says, as this message is all about what happens, after you hear it.
