In "Aspects of Life: An Invitation to Think" (published by Partridge India), author Rajendra Swaroop Bhatnagar explores dilemmas he has faced and offers insight for his readers on how to perceive life and dichotomies.
"The dilemmas that we face in our life present seemingly opposed and irreconcilable dichotomies," Bhatnagar says. "However, reflecting on them in a cool way, it is possible to realize that the opposition is not irresolvable. Thinking about them affords us better understanding and disappearance of tensions to a great extent."
Since the issues in the book are closely related to daily life experiences and explore different dilemmas, as well as possible questions that arise as people go through their lives, "the book directly relates to today's society by talking about the very foundations of human existence, life and relationships," he adds.
An excerpt from "Aspects of Life":
That we raise questions about reason, we raise questions about actions, we raise questions about explanation and justification, that we raise questions of this sort distinguishes us from all the rest of the living beings. Perhaps, it can also be said, that we raise questions of this sort because we have reason. This voice of reason blares in the interrogative "why." The most intriguing aspect is why we human beings slip away from this essential characteristic which defines us.
