Synopsis Divinity has strange ways of expressing itself. It defines its own path and finds its own medium. Shamim Akhtar, an avid biker and a passionate photographer has always been in love with the Himalayas. He preferred to call his solo biking escapades as "pilgrimages". The more he rode along the mountain ranges of north-eastern India, Nepal, and lastly Ladakh, the more his thirst grew; till his trip to Kailasa literally transformed into a pilgrimage. One visit to this place is not enough, he realized in his first visit in 2009. He revisited the holy mount in 2010 to confirm his tryst with divinity.

Divine indeed was his experience and the photographer within him gorged on this paradise. The budding author penned down his experiences, thoughts and the feelings invoked by the place and the journey. The narration goes a little beyond this-wordly affairs while describing a very worldly n physically tough journey till a point where, "the bodily and the astral become one". The book aptly dedicated to the elements finds the author groping for the purpose of human life and finally locking on two of them- world peace, unity and preservation of mother earth.
