Book excerpt: The term "autobiography" has been fancifully interpreted as "Atma Charitre" in Kannada, which loosely means "History of Soul" or "History of Self." Consequently, many Indian autobiographies, or "Histories of Souls," tend to focus more on the self than the soul, and portray history as glory transforming autobiographies into a grandiose celebration of the self. In my personal opinion, it often feels like an exaggerated form of self-indulgence, resembling a glorified expression of self-gratification. This self-centered narrative of glory does not limit itself to mere me and mine but extends to the whole nine damn chakras and then shoots through the enlightened infinity and beyond. Hence, it is rare to come across autobiographies that genuinely explore the harmonious interaction between the individual and society, offering readers the joy of witnessing the writer's selfless engagement and integration with their community rather than with the self. It perplexes me how someone with a profound understanding of the soul can write such egocentric tales in the name of selfless soul philosophy. Indeed, it is challenging for anyone within a society or community to comprehend such self-centered life stories. Therefore, my tale does not revolve around extraordinary souls or unnatural superhumans. It is a familiar story of a curious child who grew up observing the fundamental aspects of society and striving to find their place within the community, much like you, me, or any average individual.
