Spinning Destiny
Informacje o audiobooku
Are we in control of our lives? This story weaves threads through the spindle of a charkha. Spun from hard, humble hands of Gupta-jee, who does what he does best everyday - spin the charkha with cotton slivers.
The state and the people foment violence onto each other - are they separate or the same entity? Where does all the violence spiral into - if not peace? Are we the master of our machines or its slaves onto destiny?
The story brings the warp and weft of life in perspective answering the question with questions. And as you go further into its lines and between the lines, ask yourself - Do we really ever get to make a choice?
