Author Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh's book - A Glance at the Unknown, questions life's uncertainties with an interesting storyline

The starting point�\n\nEver since my vacation to Cambodia, I was moved on hearing the horror stories of the genocide of the innocent people in the killing fields and it left a mark on me. The large amount of skulls and bones that were displayed, triggered my thought process and got me thinking about the consequences of such violent deeds. I started wondering, why certain things in life happen the way they happen? At times, there is no obvious answer. And sometimes it is baseless, meaningless and defies logic. This went on my mind for a while and eventually got me to pen my thoughts. It is purely my interpretation of the possibilities of why life can be enigmatic. I have tried to provide a glimpse of what I think the unknown is.\n\nA hundred day book authoring challenge got me back into action. \n\nAlthough my visit to Cambodia was about two years ago, I had not started writing till Christmas of that year, which was nine months later. Like most people, after I started writing, for a couple of weekends, I got tied with my regular work and this lead to procrastination of the writing. I was always wanting to complete the story that I had commenced but never managed to catch up with my writing. And as the time lapsed, I had almost forgotten about my story and even the names of the characters. In the back of my mind, the guilt feeling of starting the book and not completing kept bothering me and telling me to action soon. But there was no much progress as I was sucked into the routine of life.\n\nI realised I had to take this challenge up, as deadlines help in accomplishing targets else it might probably remain a distant dream. However, it was only after taking up the challenge did I realise that although we had hundred days in hand, the reality was, there was just about 60 days to complete the writing. The remaining time was meant for editing, cover design, printing etc.! I wondered how I would complete. I told myself I should succeed at it. Being hard pressed for time, but strong in my grit and passionate in my heart about my story, I devised simple mechanisms like multi-tasking to complete the task ahead.\n\nEach morning when I would go for my walk or jog I would frame the plot step by step in my mind and try to pen them down before going to bed. Also weekends I dedicated few hours exclusively for writing in order to meet the deadline, thus giving birth to my book. And at the end of the hundredth day, my book was launched by TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) Chennai in IIT Madras Research Park.\n\nNow, that I have completed the book, I am indeed glad that I took this effort to write. It is always good to activate the right brain as well and venture into newer and unexplored terrains of life. I have also learnt that life will always be busy unless you take the initiative and efforts to prioritize whatever is important to you. Deadlines help in accomplishing faster than what you think. Only when you attempt, can you unleash your potential to the maximum.\n\nThe story line �\n\nSid is young, intelligent and dynamic.
