Author Introduction
Sesha is a first time author who ventured to publish this work at an age most writers might call it a day. The task took him about five years to complete, post his retirement from a nationalized bank. Though the idea for the story germinated and fermented in his brain a few years earlier. Epics, and more so, Mahabharata, has always intrigued him since childhood, and it made him read those stories again and again. His desire to retell the story of Shri Krishna, who is the central character of two great epics in his way led his way to his first book.
Blurb
Animish belongs to the ashram of a mysterious Master in the forest of Naimisha whose antecedents, ideologies, and even name are shrouded in secrecy. When he visits the city of Mathura, along with his friend Asareer, he hears a voice from the skies warning the antagonist, Kamsa, that his nemesis would be born to his dear sister Devaki who was just married to the Yadava prince, Vasudeva. The mysterious voice claims itself as 'Akashvani', the celestial voice that can see the events of the past, the present, and the future. While everybody believes the foreboding, Animish is the only one to think he knows the truth. Set in the period B.K. 10, a decade before Krishna was born, this sets Animish in the lifelong quest of following Shri Krishna and the truth. The story of Animish runs parallel to the story of Shri Krishna and Pandavas and Kauravas.
My Opinion
Captivating Read...........
Naimisha : God's Own Story by Sesha is Indian mythology retold. The story takes you back to the era of Krishna and Kansa. I have already read the story but while reading this one it was a new experience for me. While reading the book it felt like I am being transported to Krishna's Era. Also, the story has some new characters which will hook you up to the last.
Definitely 5 stars for the book. Thanks to the author for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.

I really appreciate that You are reviewing and exploring more new genres as you have started to review self help, contemporary fiction and now mythology ones along with your fortes like Sci fi and Horror. Amish is one of my favourite Indian author and i really appreciate him that he opened a gate for so many budding artists of India to write more about Indian History. I would request you to review some books of Saiswaroopa Iyer (books like Avishi, rukmani etc) as she has a similar writing pattern as that of sesha. Thank you
