"That is how I became A SANYASI" by Khemlata Negi is a heartwarming story,enlivened by a succession of emotions, aspirations, disloyalty,courage and sacrifice.
The story revolves around Diksha who excels at education and professional life to secure future and Gautam, a highly ambitious businessman who forgets "Money is usually attracted, not pursued". They start their life in own way and uproot to standard life-style but destiny drags them at same place.
A sudden death of her father trembles Diksha and she agrees to tie knot. But her marital doesn't last long, she has to draw full stop after immediate loosing of her mom. Gautam leads an elegant lifestyle, but his obsession for money keeps him away from family.
But a similar guilt pains Diksha and Gautam both, Diksha feels guilty for not having spent time with her parents and Gautam realizes his mistakes when his wife force him to alienate from family.
Their endeavor to get rid off guilt ends at Rishikesh, a most tranquil place , is often claimed as the 'Yoga Capital of the World’. How will they embark later part of life?
A single bold step is required to live in peace even though it has some teary consequences. The plot and characterization are good but I feel at some place the story has been overemphasized. The essence of word "sanyasi" has been described brilliantly,
A true sanyasi is the one who sacrifices his or her life for the well being of others by becoming a bridge between ignorance and awakening.
