The word Panchtatva refers to the elements of universe that are essential for life. This is a series of 3 short stories that extends the focus from elements necessary for life to those ideas and values necessary for living / leading this life. In doing so, it follows two different species and their common struggles and explores the theme that most, if not all, of what we need in order to figure out people and life is found in the elements and systems of universe that are otherwise ignored because they are seen as lifeless.

Part 1: Reboot - It is about how the systems of the world around him and an evening with his daughter reboots the way a single father looks at life. And how everyone of us, irrespective of who we are, is suffering from the same issues of lack of space, voice and rights.

Part 2: Reason - Having reset his vision towards life and the world, he begins to look into the deeper meaning and truths about what everything around him actually is. He believes it is what education should actually be about but the next generation is missing out on it as the institutions continue to suit their own conveniences. Hence, he pledges to share his wisdom with the youth at the "Shiksha" camps so they aren't stunned when faced with life. But does he know enough himself?

Part 3: Meaning - In this conclusion to this 3 part series, he finally figures out the meaning of life. Though it isn't the one he had been after.

My work is published under category "Physics and Astronomy" by "Lambert Academic Publishers", but its for the general population as well to read! My work is purely scientific and is based on facts. It is, in short, a sequel to the books of Stephen Hawking namely "A brief History of time" and "Black Holes And Baby Universes", and also a sequel to Albert Einstein's "theory of relativity". It offers a new understanding of time, a way never taken before. It is a piece of literature that combines various pieces of literatures on a single platform, for instance, it brings the "spiritual, islamic, physics, biology, information technology, and scientific reasoning" literatures on a single platform. This is some extraordinary work and it took me two years to complete the thinking and finally give it a written shape. Since this piece of work brings various pieces of literature on a single platform, a lot of literatures can intermingle on a single platform for the first time! See! This is a noble extraordinary work in literature. It might even win the "noble prize in literature"! I feel that this is going to have a lot of sales as well and since its extremely short (around 14,000 words and in 42 pages only) and mentions to the point theories and science, the people will eventually love it! Its written in extremely simple language so that the people may understand with ease. NOTE:- My book will be launched in 2 weeks. So I wish to send the pdf copy of my book. The book is attached with this mail. I just want a honest review, be it good or be it bad. :D

A place where true love expires, good people get fired and beings are nothing but dust. Where stalkers are heroes, society makes zeroes and madness is not in the crust. Some people are killers, and that's just the pillars of what is essentially rust. When you feel you are mad, but that isn't so bad in a world that is oh so unjust. They'll kill you by car, or from quite afar in a world where all life is fleeting. Don't try to protect, you'll just end up wrecked, for you know their hearts are not beating. They'll kill you my sweet, and not drop a beat, for my story is only just heating. Power means all, even more for the small, but power has a habit of retreating. The bodies mount up, many lives will breakup, as I'm here to just tell a story. Don't look in the hill, though it is quite a thrill, I've heard it can get quite gory. Don't play with the heart, and don't think you're too smart, or you'll die with none of the glory. All are mad from the start, but you played your part, in the world of pure purgatory. Alas look a ghost, be careful you're not toast, you must want to see what I see. Society is ruthless, protection is fruitless, for in madness is when you are free. Perfection is dead, from the wounds we all bled, a cruel fate we did not foresee. While outsiders are safer, if only by a wafer, you can still hear them utter a plea. Now my story is frightening, but oh so inviting, so come now and give it a whirl. I can promise some danger, so don't be a stranger, watch now - we will see it unfurl.
