Lonely Gods

Shivani Singh

In the forty-odd years that Raj and Aparajita have – passionately and consummately – loved each other, they have never actually met; they have been carrying on, so to speak, rather torridly, in the subtler fifth-dimensional plane. Now, as Raj lies comatose on his deathbed and Aparajita's mind is clouded from Alzheimer's – a secret Delhi society called the VNP group comprising cranks, mystics, psychics, property-brokers, teenagers and desperate housewives colludes and strategizes in valiant ways to unite the souls of these two lovers – because without it the world is doomed. The Apocalypse can only be prevented by uniting these twin flames. For they believe that most of life’s twin flame reunions are karmic till they reach the threshold of pure consciousness – when the laws of the universe take over.
