thestrangedoctor welcomes you

Keep your cup empty

Fear not the lack of knowledge

Fear thy acceptance of ignorance

A life in darkness is for those who don’t go out in search for light/wisdom

Truth is it’s everywhere, in every one of us

Just be a sponge and imbibe

Imbibe as much as possible until your last breath

Book 1

Pratiksha, a young girl gets hold of a neglected journal – Kris, that belonged to her late uncle Shyam, two decades after his demise. Her curiosity about Shyam grows as she eagerly dives into Kris.

Shyam had battled a degenerative muscle disease through his short life of fourteen years. To liberate his parents from the insurmountable pain and suffering they endured from his condition, he relentlessly pushed his brain’s limits to achieve greatness in several ways. Kris unveils the learnings received and the people encountered by the physically constrained, wheelchair-bound Shyam on the journeys he made into the other realms usually not accessible to humans.

Pratiksha shocks her family when she reveals something she read in Kris – an incident that Shyam could not have known about because it happened years after his death. How did the past unfold into the unseen future? What had Shyam unravelled about the human journey, especially his own journey?

Book 2

When a young engineer moves into a new home with his wife and children, he is intrigued by the respect and admiration the neighbours show for the retired doctor living next door. But despite the overwhelming love, the old man seems to be neglected and all alone.
Why does he live alone? Why does he take the dramatic evening walk to the park? Why does he sit only at one particular bench?
After a chance meeting with the Old Man, he gleefully accepts an invitation to join him in his famous study. There, he decodes the man’s puzzling past. Amazed by the mindboggling experiences from the old man’s memories and heart-wrenching tales, his metamorphosis is complete – from a neighbour to a companion, a student, and then a son.
FEARLESS AND FREE is the tale of how a lonely old man’s life opens up a box of motivation for his young admirer, encouraging him and the readers to live every moment to the fullest.

A Frank Twine mystery.
The murder of Kushal Manjaree, a young billionaire entrepreneur and an emerging politician in the ruling party, in his Chhatarpur villa in New Delhi, creates a stir in the nation’s political circle and triggers a high-profile investigation under the aegis of the home minister and the DIG. ACPs Vasu Sagar and Jennifer Alphonse join hands after a long hiatus in a quest to resolve the mystery in a matter of days. To their dismay, the case turns out to be a pandemonium of confusion.
With mounting pressure on them, the ACPs turn to the deceased’s personal diary for clues and uncover a world of puzzling passages that lead them into the past.
What they discover is not the solution but a welcome message to the dangerous and daring world of a calculative, clever, and ruthless killer, Frank Twine.
Who is Frank Twine? Does he really exist?
The answers they find are more baffling and mind-numbing than the mystery.
