Rashmi Rathi's debut novel Life isn't Such a Bitch revolves around the laws of Karma and how it affects love and life. This is the story of a young entrepreneur who is blessed to have a supporting family, lovely wife and an acclaimed company he runs along with his college friends.Krishnakant Shukla, or what he prefers to be called, 'Krish' co-owns a startup with his IIM-friends which is about to seal a deal with a huge investing company when on the day of the final meeting, their office is raided by the Income Tax department under the notice of search and seizure. On finding out that he has been stabbed in the back by one of his most trustworthy friends, Krish undergoes a state of depression and cuts himself off from the world.
Some time later, he starts his journey towards spirituality following a few startling events. He spends a few days at the beautiful hill station of Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, India and observes the nature closely. His dreams are always occupied by an unexplanatory calling and that's when his journey towards the learning of Karma begins.
The author has explained the law of Karma in quite an easy way, using daily-life examples, and that's what keeps the reader entwined to the book. The author's style of getting deeper into the theories and working of the law of Karma are quite appreciable since Yoga and Karma are generally considered deep literature and require clear understanding.
The book brings an essence of freshness with itself with the description of the beautiful and untouched forests of Pachmarhi, loaded with the chirping sounds of the birds and trickling water of the numerous hidden waterfalls. I suggest readers to read this book in the morning, preferably in the open air and around plants and trees. Your surroundings will add quality to the explanations of the law of Karma explained in the 105-page book.
I give this book 3.5 stars out of 5.
