One contextualizing existential suffering faced by King Bhartruhari of Ujjain due to getting an "Amruta Phala" (a divine magical fruit) in ancient times. The second & main story takes place in the current age, where a suave & successful businessman goes through similar existential dilemma. The way these two stories proceed together logically entwined, makes the book an engrossing read.
