    About this ebook

    A 22-year-old boy, Siddharth found dead on an isolated railway platform near Nagpur. The story is the philosophical quest for the reasons behind his death. Neil, a 31-year-old married friend unfolds unknown pages in Siddharth's mysterious life, his aspirations, his love, and his beliefs. And he discovers no reason for Siddharth to commit suicide. What made Siddharth commit suicide? Was it really a suicide? Or was it an accident? Or a conspiracy?

    The truth lies when the people who save you from drowning can't help themselves to survive from the same.
