Asariri: A Life Full of Life

by Rajni Sekhri Sibal

Overview

A few days after Nisha loses her best friend, her father, she meets Asariri on a hilltop covered in daisies and irises in the Himalayas. Asariri befriends Nisha, a young single mother, who has lost her husband and father within a span of two years.

Asariri is a bit of a poet and provides meaning to Nisha's life. Drawing upon all that is rational and profound, Asariri helps Nisha reconcile with death and accompanies her in her quest to understand all that matters to a rational person in a global world – happiness, life choices, dreams and success, balance in life and nature and peace and serenity – and all that needs to be comprehended to live a 'life full of life'.

Asariri is a disembodied voice with access to a mystic ancient pool of infinite wisdom. A poignantly written story-moving, rich in character and deeply emotional.
