Divya - The Rainbow Child

On one level, this is the story of a bright, inquisitive, affectionate child - Divya - who has to grapple with some of life's toughest problems in her troublesome 'destiny' of cancer. And it is about her loving relationship with her Thatha, both grandfather and guru to her. On another, it is philosophy in its purest, most fearless form: we are led to stare the big questions in the eye - "Who am 'I'? What is 'destiny'? What is 'God'? Why do we suffer pain and illness? Why me? What is death? - and to find their true answers without settling for the watered-down versions that society commonly mouths and accepts as 'safe' formulations.
