So, this a very interesting and thought provoking book and made even more so where the narrative is interspersed with the author's metaphysical meditations. Ratnam has read deeply and written at length about religion and spirituality. Such contemplation has made him more able to accept what he calls his wheels-falling-off experiences as mere "manifestations of human will-power and folly, in a universe whose external and internal trajectories are symbolically signified by the flight of dragons," ... Believing as he does in reincarnation and the role of Destiny in his life, there is no closure to his story. One thinks, rightly so.' —BookReview.com
