LIMPING TO THE CENTRE OF THE
WORLD. A journey to Mount Kailash. NON-FICTION. Penguin
India. (2008)
The book was launched with an audio-visual
presentation at The Park, Chennai, on June 26, 2008.
The Deccan Chronicle wrote ‘The 120 people who
attended the presentation went home grateful to Murari
for taking the trip, thanks to the incredible experiences
and stories he told them.’
I trekked to Mount Kailash/Lake Mansarovar in remote
western Tibet on a pilgrimage. It is considered one
of the hardest pilgrimages on earth due to the hostile
but awesome terrain. I didn’t mean to write a
book but that’s what happens to writers. We write
them despite ourselves.
THE SMALL HOUSE.
FICTION. Penguin India.
(2007)
The Small House is a many-layered
exploration of the fragility of modern-day relationships,
of desire, passion and ambition, and of memories that
lie in wait to threaten the present.
THE IMPERIAL
AGENT and IMPERIAL AGENT II, THE LAST VICTORY
