O ovoj e-knjizi

"A Speck in the Universe" is a deeply introspective novel that delves into the ephemeral nature of happiness, the complexities of familial bonds, and the search for meaning in a world devoid of easy answers. The narrative follows a man in his early thirties as he grapples with the heartbreaking reality of his mother's cancer diagnosis. Through a series of reflective memories, he revisits his childhood in Bettiah, shadowed by his father's passing and his mother's enduring strength. These tender yet challenging moments, coupled with quiet betrayals from his

extended family, shape his evolving understanding of love, loss, and identity.


Throughout the milestones of his career, marriage, and fatherhood, he achieves outward success yet is persistently shadowed by a sense of emptiness. Each moment of joy is tinged with sadness, leading him to question the significance of life and advocating for a certain detachment from the present, in contrast to the popular philosophy of living in the moment. Even after fulfilling a lifelong dream of publishing his first novel, the elusive contentment continues to evade him. The story culminates with him sitting on a beach in Chennai, lost in thought, reflecting on his journey, his past, and the elusive meaning of it all.


Inspired by the philosophy of Albert Camus, "A Speck in the Universe" poignantly explores one man's quest to find purpose in an indifferent world. It invites readers to confront the beauty and fragility inherent in their own lives, concluding with a sense of quiet acceptance and a deeper appreciation of life's transient nature.

O autoru

Rohit is an Electrical Engineer and currently works as a data scientist in Chennai. Drawn to the complexities of human

existence, he has long been captivated by the philosophy of Albert Camus and the evocative writing style of J. M.

Coetzee—both influences that subtly shape his debut novel, A Speck in the Universe. A contemplative thinker, he explores themes of existentialism, love, and the search for meaning in a world that often defies understanding. His work reflects his own journey through life’s challenges and successes. Inspired by personal

experiences and philosophical inquiries, he hopes to connect with readers on a deeply personal level through his storytelling.
