The story idea of the fight of a common man, Govind with a mighty sage, who cannot even be touched by human beings, left me with a lot of curiosity about how Govind would overcome such a big limitation! And despite my busy schedule, I was riveted to the book till the last page. I am sure readers will enjoy reading this book.’
