A multi cuisine platter

What is life? A not so extraordinary question raised by the so called protagonist number 1 of the story, namely the writer Paul. You want to know when? At the end of the novel. This is not all. The answer given by an inebriated protagonist number 2 the hyperbole consultant Hazare is what hits you. The entire philosophy of life in such simple words! 
Also this multicuisine platter gives you a flamboyant Bollywood geek driver and a garage owner Raj, though the name is long enough to be remembered, along with a mystery man turned environmentalist Ben. So what are these four protagonists, mind it four, doing together? They have met by chance and heading towards Gir forests in Gujrat. Why? Because those who do not travel live only little. Go find out why? 
If you are looking for a witty read with humorous conversations, vivid imageries and a journey to transform you as a person then this book is meant for you.
Intrigued I was to have a look at the cover page and the title! Because my baffled mind couldn’t make any sense of either of these.... a typewriter?? The author saved my soul in the last but second paragraph of the book when Hazare told me that the title meant “nothing of everything and everything of nothing “
Shantanu Munshi I would really like to know from you what did you mean by all this? Pun intended 

Congratulations and God bless
