A Cup of Tea With Valmiki

Product Description Ratnakar is your average family man, with goals and aspirations that he hopes to achieve. He lives with the perception that life must go a certain way. One day, he fights with his wife and leaves the house in a huff. He decides to drive down to his farmhouse. Enough time passes, and his wife doesnt call him. Ratnakar is furious that shes done nothing to pacify him. Out of nowhere, a transition to an ancient era takes him back to Valmikis time. Suddenly, he is Valmiki, and he is Ratnakar - the dacoit before he turned into Valmiki. The time-warp journey takes him right out of the era of iPads and laptops, straight into a time of Ashrams and mythology in action. Ratnakar brings back a valuable lesson from an ancient era. He realises the importance of respecting women, and in cherishing the truth of the Ramayana as it was, when it was first written.
