Dwelling between the timelines of Aditya's childhood and his present, My Shape by Shivi Dua and Gaurav Dua has to be one of the most conceptual book about the intricacies of life I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

My Shape begins with Aditya's homecoming after 25 long years, to the place where he owes everything to. As Aditya flutters back home, he recalls vividly his memories of the past, the lessons that were instilled in him and his cousins by their certain mysterious and enigmatic friend Saira.

As Saira, bequeathes upon them the teachings and the meaning of the five essential elements : Fire(Kojin), Air(Byar), Water(Ezili), Earth (Achal) and Space (Sookshma), Aditya along with his cousins imbibe the necessary values which enable them to shape their lives.

Bordering upon both fact and fiction, My Shape is a beautiful book inside and out with an easily accessible language and can be picked up by adults and children alike. I really admire the authors effort to instill in children the philosophical aspect of balance that governs a person and how to be in equilibrium with them.

A read that leaves you pondering!
