Unlike THEORY OF ASTITVUM, the tone of which being more like a research manuscript, A Iyer in Jose's Well, A Yogi's Journey is a memoir presented as fiction. Being a scientist and engineer, and having been trained to write technical manuscripts, I never thought I could tell a story. Who knows, I may still be a very bad story teller, but my buddy Avinasha and his wife Mary do not think so. Avinasha Iyer and I had known each other since childhood, but years had passed before we met again in the USA. The turn his life story had taken in Jose’s well intrigued me. I could immediately relate to Jose's well, Avinasha's story in it,  and similarly craved for clarity of vision and purpose. His story felt like my own. And then I thought, “If I could relate to Avinasha’s story, maybe there are many out there whose story looks more or less like his.”  Such thought led to my sharing his story with the world. I started dabbling into writing his story in 2014. Honoring Avinasha’s and Mary’s request to protect the identities of all the characters in the tale including their own, I produced the essence of Avinasha’s journey in relevant fiction. And finally after a little over 3 years, with permission from Avinasha and Mary Iyer, I take the pleasure of sharing with you all very soon, 2 of  3 books in the novella series titled, “A Iyer in Jose’s well, A Yogi's Journey”. I sincerely wish with all my heart that, "may this series of novellas bring to you, realization of your infinite Universe potential!"
