The book Kali makes for profound reading. There are many takeaways from the book that can actually become principles for leading a happy and peaceful life. The allegory between the Goddess kali- the destroyer of demons with destroying the mental chatter in our mind is very relevant today where we are bombarded with too much information and our minds never cease working. What the readers will like most I think though is the fact that the book does not come across as sententious as the prose has a forward impetus and keeps the audience intrigued through the fictional journey of the girl Kali – who in the book is the embodiment of Goddess Kali.
