Synopsis
Is your mind under your control?Dakshesh,
an old man in Sirubari village suffering from cancer, wishes to be released
from excruciating pain. His journey takes him to the three monks, known for
miraculous healing and life transformation. He discovers they are no saints,
but hardened criminals. The three monks - Rizwan, Murli, Joseph - narrate
stories of unprecedented savagery that would make even the most cold-hearted
criminals look down with shame.
The dark stories of the three monks leave Dakshesh gasping, but there is something about their dishonourable lives that relieves Dakshesh from his pain.

My Review
Demons In My
Mind is less a fiction but more a crime psychological book which will play with
your mind. When you read the blurb and compared it with that of the book you
will be flabbergasted to draw the line between two. Blurb which states man who
is on verge of dying and has his last wish to meet the three monks who lives in
the laps of mountains. But that not happened after initial chapters. Book takes
turns into dark, malign to your mind and chugging in your throat I regret
reading in mid night, it disturbed me whole night(positive punch as a part of
author works).

Book begins
where a man who was on last stage of cancer and had very few weeks left with
him, he decided to devote his last days meeting and learning about life from
three monks but soon everything turned out to be very dark. I earlier thought
it would be some spiritual but no it is not.
A simple story splits into three stories of monks. Each story was
different from the other and with each story you would feel something quandary inside
your own mind. You would be forced to think is there any demon lying or
sleeping inside you. Three great monks but who knows they were once the most heinous
and sabotage for society once. A generous boy who loved his parents beyond any
limits end up killing them, an artist who became a rapist and a lover who turn
into a torturer and all three were victims of their own mind.
It took me two
days to finish the book and later I found myself in the state of quivering and I
couldn’t help but all day night I was drone into the story only.
Book narration
was good and unexpected because not for a second you will be able to make a
guess. Book is indeed page tuner. Writing style was good, author used both
prose and poetry which makes the book attractive. Title was catchy and matches
the story line whereas book cover too justify it only the blurb wasn’t clear.
Overall the book
was a good read. I would rate it 3.5/5 stars.
