Two Journeys, One Delusion

Author(s):  Taritla Prateek Rao

Why do generations differ in actions but mirror one another in ideas? Is the peaceful cacophony of Kumbh Mela equivalent to the sound-blaring rock music of a concert? 

Set against the powerful backdrop of the Kumbh Mela and a spectacular Mumbai music concert, this thought-provoking novella explores the contrast between spiritual devotion and modern cultural euphoria. When parents embark on a sacred pilgrimage to the Kumbh Mela and their children attend a once-in-a-lifetime live concert in Mumbai, two parallel journeys unfold—one rooted in faith and tradition, the other in music and contemporary experience.

Blending themes of spirituality, family dynamics, self-discovery, and philosophical reflection, the story delves into life’s deeper questions: What drives us to gather in crowds? What are we truly seeking in moments of collective celebration? 

Through an imagined dialogue between timeless thinkers such as Buddha and Marcus Aurelius, the novella offers profound insights into human purpose, belonging, and transcendence.

Taritla Prateek Rao

Prateek is a writer, musician, keen observer, and civil servant. He explores topics that intrigue him, aiming to create an impact—one person at a time. His writing delves into ideas he finds compelling, hoping they resonate with others as well. 

A self-taught singer and guitarist, he composes songs inspired by his experiences. His passion for photography allows him to capture moments with an observant eye, often seeking the stories hidden within each frame. Prateek’s journey is shaped by his calling. 

An IAS officer from the 2021 batch and a former IRTS officer, he follows where his duty takes him. Academically, he holds an engineering degree from NIT Surathkal and an MBA from IIM Calcutta.
