Download or read book The Talkative Man written by Deepak Gupta and published by Inspirational Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't you know about Orchha in India? Orchha is a very bewitching dinky town near Jhansi, Madhya Pradesh. It has a flawless serene, vintage feeling and vibrant icy-cold wind in winter where you can experience a vintage fort, abandoned peaceful sanctuary, emerald green gardens, slow-witted peace, religious eminent temples, and, exceptionally significant, a sacred expeditious Betwa River. And indeed, the town is only expanded in an area of 2KMs and situated near the banks of Betwa River. There's no life that has no desolation, but there's every life that has some contentment. In this stirring Deep, Dark & Delicious Novella, Deepak Gupta tells the tale of two diverse personalities whose lives become intertwined in unexpected ways. Follow the story of The Talkative Man, Vedant and the silent one, Rishi as they search for success and peace, respectively, and discover how, despite their differences, they both ultimately strive to reach a place of understanding. As the tale moves forward, they face the desolation of life and seek contentment, weaving a narrative of the complexities of being human. Along the way, they discover that there can be truth in both the talking and the silence. You know, two people talk too much, but when they get separated, they gulp every inch of silence deeply. Through their interactions and journeys together, the two men learn from each other and discover that each has something to offer the other. They come to understand each other's perspectives and find moments of joy, peace, and contentment in their lives. From its themes of desolation and contentment to its exploration of the clash between ambition and tranquillity, The Talkative Man is an engaging, thought-provoking, most unrealistic yet true story of two men and their peculiar world of deeply moving examination of the duality of life. At its core, the tale is about the power of conversation to bridge divides, build understanding, create connections, & about finding contentment and peace, even in the midst of desolation. Sometimes we all want is loving too much to someone but suppress ourselves, so, we don't feel too much attachment & emotions. We try to walk away because we can't do anything about it. Everything seems drowned in something that can't be explained in words.
