"The Calling" by Priya Kumar

 The Calling: Unleash your True Self

Priya Kumar



Blurb:

The Calling is a spiritual adventure. It is an encounter with the truth, the wisdom, and the force that is innate to us all. At the brink of a divorce and personal breakdown, Arjun took a trip into the heart of the Himalayas, on the insistence of a sadhu, who predicted that the journey up to Hemkund Sahib would align him to his purpose and change his life forever. At every turn, the mountains hold secrets and tests that urge Arjun to evolve into the person he had denied to be – himself. Pretenses, falsities, confusions, and untruths fall apart as Arjun is forced to confront the mess he had created in his life. What started off as an opportunity to escape reality, turned out to be an opportunity to escape from the dwindling spiral of self-created misery. Filled with spiritual insights and sprinkled with light humor, this story will help you find your calling, your voice, and who knows, even your true self.

My Review

I have always found books written by Priya Kumar very interesting, she writes as if she’s speaking with her wide audience and this is what exactly I felt while reading “The Calling”.

This is a story of a man named Arjun who feels lost in his life both, personally and professionally and is off to the mountains to crack another deal but before even reaching the place meets with an accident where after a while, he meets a Sadhu who directs him to go to the Himalayas and search for the answers he’s been looking for.

This story will definitely inspire you, that’s the power of Priya Kumar’s words.

As a reader, I was very much able to relate to all the incidents and the story of Arjun in general because that is what all of us go through, right?

We are a bunch of clueless people who are just living our lives and waiting for someone to let us know the purpose of our own lives.

This book will make a mindset shift, given that you read It with full enthusiasm.

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
