The Seeker by Sunita Pant Bansal This is the story of a business tycoon, who seems to have it all. Yet something is missing. Throughout his life, he leaves everything that is important to him to seek this 'something'. This happens, not only once but several times in his life. He leaves his family, his business, his Guru. He goes through life's pleasures, pain, and even penance, but is unable to find what he is seeking. On a parallel track runs the story of his estranged wife, living in another country. They do not communicate with each other, but share a deep bond, an intense chemistry, that somehow strengthens them in their personal quests and binds them together though far apart. There is a parallel drawn between our protagonist's life and the Buddha's, through dreams and visions. The story spans a month, starting when Vik, in his perennial restless search, begins to have strange dreams. . .they seem to be telling him something, somehow connecting his life to that of Siddharth, the Buddha.
