When Mountains Align (English, Paperback, Shashank Jain)

Can the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? Perhaps not. But then, what else could explain Pranav’s improbable encounter with Sejal, the girl with the butterfly tattoo? Disillusioned with his corporate job and the monotony of city life, Pranav’s spontaneous decision to venture into the mountains becomes a pivotal moment in his life. From the serene monasteries of Spiti Valley to the perilous escapes from the devastating floods in Kasol, every incident nudges his life towards Sejal. As they embark on a treacherous road trip through Ladakh, surviving multiple near-death experiences and sharing pristine moments in its remote corners, they find themselves falling closer—not just to each other, but to the vulnerabilities of their inner self. When Mountains Align is a compelling tale of self-discovery, driven by a string of coincidences and profound relationships with people far away from home. It’s an unforgettable story of breaking free from the mundane, and of a journey that feels like coming home.
