Srikant Joshi is an archaeologist of national stature has lost his prestigious job, is messed up with his already complicated family and is at a breaking point of his relationship with his son. Now, it seems, he’s gradually losing his even more compelling love, his memory. It’s the onset of Alzheimer’s, the insidious slow killer of all memories. What until recently seemed solid fact is melting into surreal dreams & imaginings that he always thought were so real, in a different way.

Set against the backdrop of an idyllic Health Spa, where lives and stories get seamlessly intertwined and play out a small portion of the human condition in the form of a light and entertaining comedy.
Through the individual stories of a pretty nurse and her motor-mechanic boyfriend, an oddball gynaecologist, a charming ex-army guy (at once saint and Don Juan), a popular rock star and his beautiful but obsessively jealous wife, a disillusioned urbanite about to start a new life in his village and his young woman ward at the Spa, their lives interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the ridiculous, this comedy of erotic possibilities makes us see the world we inhabit, with a blasphemous lightness.
A bored housewife Azalea, of Indian origin, feels empty despite her comfortable suburban life in Toronto, Canada. Sweet Blasphemy, the novel she is asked to appraise for her new job, introduces her to Sufism and has life-changing consequences. The novel tells the story of a 13th-century wandering Persian Sufi Dervish, Shams of Tabriz, and of his inspirational relationship with Rumi, one of the greatest poets of the Sufi canon.
The way Rumi was transformed from being a respected Koranic scholar to a dervish weaving poetry, the mythic and the miraculous, practiced through poetry, music and dance, Azalea finds in it, contextual parallels with her own life and goes on getting deeper with her bonding with both – the writer of the novel, Aziz, and with Shams and Rumi, interweaving their combined quest for beauty, love and fulfilment in everyday life.

After her mother’s death, Rakhi and her father discover her mother’s dream journals and it’s a new world of insight into her mother’s life as well as into each other’s, especially as the bonds begin to thicken between the father and the daughter. As recompense, Rakhi finds unexpected blessings: the possibility of new love and understanding for her family.
