'Pilgrims of the Inner Worlds'
Siana, a painter by hobby and architect by profession travels with acquaintance Aaron from New York to Dharamshala high in the mountainous India. Each discovers him / her self and each-other as a by product of this. Acquaintances become friends and soon the relationship will blossom into wedding and a child who will name herself as Mora. The central character of the novel is this child however other characters have significant roles too. Both of them chance upon a dilapidated building which turns out to be a century old abandoned building of Freemasons. Going through a century old large Christian bible and materials at that temple, he finds links to his forefathers who to his knowledge weren't Freemasons and had never been to India. Siana discovers that she was adopted at a very early age. The internet connection is highly unreliable. They do a bit of web searching and a lot of talking. Unknown to both of them they travel in their respective minds too -- what their true callings are.
A fortnight in the Himalayas changes their lives. And those of several other important characters in the novel.
Going back to the States, searching his family tree almost becomes an obsession. That takes him to the headquarters of Mormons in Utah. Ploughing through millions of digitally mirrored genealogy registers of families in microfiche leads to nowhere. Soon he will discover that his search is misdirected and the approach is faulty.
Siana becomes much more social. She takes to graphics and study of divinity.
While all this is happening, Mora grows to be a happy 6 year old.
The novel is organised in 12 books (or chapters). All of them about human relations. Each book introduces a new lead female character and a goofy subsidiary male character to the story. All of these 12 women (grand mother 1, grand mother 2, grand mother 3, mid-wife, nanny, god-mother, medical doctor, teacher etc.) have a motherly role for Mora. The underlying spirit of chapter 10, 11 and 12 are similar to that of chapter 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Cris-crossing various countries, nationalities, faiths and races, the novel ends as Mora leaves teens.
By this time, Mora, Sianna, Aaron and other main characters realise that peeling away the layers of professions, races, nationalities, faiths, economic circumstances, age-groups and other demographics, all humans are same every where and are inquiring into and yearning for love, joy and peace.
Mora is well-exposed to these inquiries and yearnings by the time she starts going to college. She is presented with a new paradigm - the humans have been evolving - at subconscious levels and the new bio-engineering and artificial-intelligence is a big known-unknown. So will this new insight into commonality of humans be relevant anymore? The book ends here with this resonating thought.
