Meet Vedant, a passionate 28-year-old archaeologist, on a relentless quest to unearth the truth hidden within the ancient legend of Samudra Manthan. His fascination lies in the elements that emerged from the cosmic ocean during this mythical churning. However, Vedant faces a daunting challenge-lack of funding. Established organizations dismiss his research as futile, deeming the Samudra Manthan story as "too mythological" and "lacking tangible evidence," unlike the more renowned Ramayana or Mahabharata. To them, it's a futile endeavor, claiming that if such an event ever occurred, it would be impossible to find evidence after millennia. Undeterred by skepticism, Vedant turns to social media to voice his plight. A heartfelt tweet about his unwavering commitment to uncovering the ancient truth resonates with a global audience, including an unexpected benefactor-a reclusive Russian billionaire with an insatiable desire for eternal life. Intrigued by Vedant's passion, the billionaire offers funding for Vedant's research, but his ulterior motive lies in the elixir of immortality, the Amrit. He entices Vedant with promises of using Amrit's potential to create revolutionary medicines, curing nearly every disease known to humanity. However, as Vedant delves deeper into his research, he unwittingly becomes a pawn in the billionaire's audacious scheme. The billionaire's true intention is to physically obtain the Amrit for himself, bestowing him with unimaginable powers and eternal life. The Quest for Immortality: The Amrita Conspiracy is an exhilarating tale of archaeology, mythology, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge and power. Join Vedant on his perilous journey as he seeks to protect the ancient secrets of Samudra Manthan from falling into the wrong hands and unravels the true meaning of immortality.

"Women have always been considered as the weaker section of the society. They were never given the opportunities to grow and develop equally alongside men." Throughout the history of mankind, it was always the men who were remembered for their knowledge and courageous deeds. Women had always been restricted to the household and had been rarely given an opportunity to learn. Burdened underneath the male ego and pride, they were forgotten in the sands of time, as if they never existed. A hundred years after the Mahabharata war, after numerous sacrifices, grief and oppression on part of the female gender, a golden dream of justice and equality was seen by a group of courageous females on the banks of the sacred Ganga. And the first seeds of education and independence had been sown.

It all started in 2025. Our planet had recently recovered from a pandemic which took away thousands of lives but still.......we all survived and life came back to normal after many efforts of ours and our world leaders. But who knew that this pandemic was nothing compared to what humanity was about to see. The Vedas and other ancient scriptures had depicted that Kalyuga will be the worst 'Yuga' for the humans. But this was far more than worse and far early than predicted. That night.......that one night of 'Amavasya' was just the beginning of the darkest days of 'Kalyuga'. We were so fascinated by the theories of science that we started to consider the ancient stories and ancient beings as myths. But that 'Amavasya' came just like a slap on our faces. Cursed to a life of misery and slavery, all we could do was pray but our prayers remain unanswered even today after 1000 years of that night. Because those whom we expect to answer our prayers.............were also cursed.

This is the continuation of the story that began with Prithvi.. (volume 1) - http://www.wattpad.com/story/5433945-prithvi-vol-1 Note posted on 5 October 2022 'Prithvi' is an ongoing story. It was in 2008 that the story began to flow through me. I continue to be as passionate about it as I was back then. However, I do not know how long it would take to be completed. I do not know how many more volumes or chapters will be required. I update chapters only once a month, and even that doesn't happen at times. But if you would still like to experience this story, please go ahead and give it a try. I hope you enjoy reading 'Prithvi' as much as I enjoy writing it.
