"Sometimes you just don’t know what the dream is. The one that you woke up from, or the one that you are in."

Anant Brihaspati is an unremarkable thirty-something guy who works nine-to-five in an underpaying job and lives in a flat with his widowed mother. Plagued by memories of past failures, his life has come to such an unpleasant standstill that instead of hoping for something better, he fears losing what little he has.

Until one day, he dies.

But death, rather than being the end, turns out to be the beginning of an unexpected journey for Anant—one that offers him a far deeper insight into himself than life ever did.

Anant Brihaspati & Family is a work of literary fiction with underlying themes of afterlife, mindfulness, and family. It's a reminder that life could sometimes hold far more than what our circumstances lead us to believe.
