_**About the Author**_
 Aashish Kaul studied law through interactive learning with
other social science disciplines and upon graduating in 2004 enrolled with the New
Delhi Bar. For a little over two years thereafter, he was retained by a boutique
law practice specializing in the areas of corporate finance, capital markets and
security-related transactions in India and abroad. He ceased his retainership with
the firm in January 2007 with a long cherished desire to work on this novel, the
seeds of which had been sewn a few years ago.

_**Teaser**_
 The chapters of this book are composed like the seven notes of music;
and the story rises with each chapter, like notes in an octave, to reach a crescendo,
which relates to the events of a day in the narrator’s life.

A sample follows:

_Do: A Full Circle_
 “The night that gave away to this beautiful morning was very
special, very special indeed. For a romantic experience took place whose majesty
is unpronounceable in words. I shall attempt it all the same. But later. First, 
a brief introduction to the bearer of my tale (on whose perseverance so much depends):
I reside in a quaint settlement in the hills that was colonized a century and a 
half before, designed and erected with tenacity and imagination, and proudly conferred
the looks and luxuries it reveals to visitors of this day.”
