Brushes with the Other World Devika Khanna Narula

Once you open these pages, you will not be able to put them down!Someone or something seems to have just touched you and gone!This collection of short stories literally captures the brushes with the other world - the supernatural. These are not horror stories, but events which will make you pause and wonder, was that real? We have all experienced these moments and incidents that have no logical explanation and leave us wondering, unsure of what exactly happened. From the spiritual encounters of a housewife struggling to find real meaning in her life, to the scars that remain when tragedy hits a family, from a surreal drive through a dark forest to the serendipity below the surface of the ocean, these stories are part of the ordinary world. These are ambiguous occurrences in our daily lives. They hit the balance between human awareness on one hand, and the power of the unknown on the other! At times an intangible sense of a power beyond us, a presence of the Divine, leaves us in a trance, leading to an awareness of a greater picture. Each of these stories are woven around real-life inspired incidents, inexplicable, unusual, spooky but to be confronted, or to rescue the restless spirits that haunt their erstwhile abodes. Is it karma meeting us, head on?
