Simran

by Nikhil Kumar

Set in the hauntingly beautiful valleys of Ladakh, this is a story of a search for love. This is a story of one man’s quest to understand the meaning of miracles. This is a story of betrayal. When we love someone fiercely, we tend to open ourselves up to tremendous pain when that love is betrayed. A story that is narrated in different instances of time, Simran tries to follow the journey of a simple shepherd who lives in Ladakh and falls in love with a woman so beautiful that she haunts his dreams and nightmares alike. The shepherd’s epic journey of understanding love, miracles and betrayal is painful and enlightening. Simran’s story had to be told. It has been a long time since she has seen the light of day, and this book is an effort to do justice to her ethereal, magical presence. To understand her story, we need to dwell deep into the memories of the man who loved her more than life itself.
