Paperback / Hardback

In the heart of a harsh and unforgiving landscape, a young boy named Kesar sets out on a forty-day journey with a wandering Fakir whose wisdom seems as endless as the desert itself. What begins as a difficult passage across rough terrain turns into a soulful journey inward.

As the days unfold, the Fakir shares stories and truths drawn from ordinary people and forgotten folk wisdom. Through conversations around campfires, long silences on dusty roads, and encounters with strangers along the way, Kesar begins to understand lessons that no school could ever teach.

At a time when the world seems to be moving faster than ever—chasing wealth, success, and endless ambition—Forty Days is a rejuvenating pause. Deeply rooted in the rhythms of the Indian storytelling tradition, this is a book about slowing down, listening closely, and rediscovering the simple truths that often get lost in modern life.
