**About the book**

Raised in a world of material wealth but emotional emptiness, Siddh embarks on a daring odyssey of self-discovery, yearning to break free from the suffocating confines of his father's empire. With his grieving mother unable to stop him, he ventures far from home where he stumbles upon a compassionate stranger named Vinayak, whose hotel becomes a sanctuary for Siddh's troubled soul.

Haunted by grief and melancholy, Siddh reluctantly accepts Vinayak's offer to be his guide on his 'fool's journey'. As Siddh learns to fight his inner demons, Vinayak introduces him to the profound wisdom of 'self-presence', a unique philosophy that promises inner peace, mindfulness, and contentment.

Through the power of meditation and self-expression, Siddh undergoes a remarkable transformation, finding solace in the support of kind souls he encounters along the way.

Yet, even as Siddh's pursuit of meaning becomes easier, his dream of mending the fractured bonds of his family remains distant. Will he find a way to reconcile with his estranged father and reunite his family?  Will he be able to look past the veil of his father's indifference? Or will he discover the truth too late? Will Vinayak prove to be the mentor Siddh desperately needed in his life?

A Fool's Journey is a captivating tale of personal struggle and evolution that explores the depths of human emotions and the pursuit of true happiness, reminding us that age is no barrier when it comes to seeking one's sense of self. Join Siddh on this inspiring adventure as he unravels the intricacies of self-discovery and finds that true fulfilment often comes from the most unexpected sources.

"Why?" I asked. He didn't answer me, his eyes were calm and cold. "You cannot just take anybody's life!" I yelled at him. He took a step towards me, putting his hands in the pockets of his slacks. "I can." He snapped. "But why? It's not like you care for me, is it? Is it because he was harassing me?" I asked, desperately waiting for his answer. "I don't give two fucks about you. I am tolerating you just because you're useful to me, once I am done with you. You're over!" He seethed calmly. I got close to him and grabbed his collar, pulling his face down to my level, "Then why did you killed him?" I whispered near his nasty face. "Because now you belong to me, and no one can touch what's MINE." He whispered dangerously near my lips, his gaze piercing through my wet eyes. His gaze shifted to my lips which were inches apart from him. Our bodies were almost touching, an unknown burning sensation building between us. __________________ Sidharth Shukla, the richest billionaire of America, who owned multi national companies, universities, restaurants and bars.
