This man belongs to our Era-“the Kalyuga”. He seems to acquire a unique power-the power to change. He claims to direct us all to the heaven on earth-the so called ” ideal world”.
But wait! Where does he end up? He is being treated for being psychologically ill.
That’s not the end of his torment. He can’t stop getting revelations. The revelations that make him feel he has a purpose in life.
As he swings between madness and reality, will he be able to identify what he truly is?
Will his madness be a boon or curse to him? And not to forget-what about the ideal world? Is it even possible?
Through Emaan, the author, Ismat Ahmed Shaikh, intends to pose a question to our traditional way of thinking and brings a contrast between our perceived reality and the limitless imagination.
About the author: “The universe resides within me, if you understand me, you understand the universe.” -Ismat Ahmed Shaikh
Born on 08th April, 1991 in a district named Murshidabad, West Bengal in India, Ismat Ahmed Shaikh, currently lives in Mumbai with his parents and siblings.
Being a statistician by education, he began his career as a Mathematics teacher in an international school for grade 11 and 12. But his keen in interest in understanding the economic aspects of a country got him into a wealth management company, where he currently works as an assistant manager.
He developed interest in writing few years ago, when he was on a train journey to his native place. He began with writing poetries which were appreciated by his friends and colleagues.
Ismat’s intention of writing is solely to give his perception of what is currently happening in the society. Emaan-the power of change within- is his first published book, which he used, to weave fiction and philosophy, to challenge the current social system and make us think towards the ideal world.
I like the concept of astral projection so far, eagerly waiting for the climax. Nice work! It shows how powerful the human mind can be & how far your thoughts can take you.
