▶️Do you like reading Business dramas and family saga? Some books leave us with questions that linger long after the last page is turned. They make us pause and reflect. What will happen to the wealth we have built once we’re gone? Will the next generation protect it, squander it, or reshape it? How do we bridge the ever-widening gap between generations, when understanding must flow from both sides, not just one? I have always enjoyed business dramas and family sagas, and What’s Your Price, Mr Shivaswamy? by @mrdattathri M.R. Dattathri (translated from Kannada) delivers both in abundance. It’s a deep, thought-provoking read that makes us look closely at our present actions while quietly nudging us to think about the future. The story follows Shivaswamy, a retired man enjoying the peace of his later years, until his attempt to buy a home, thwarted by unscrupulous builders, pushes him back into the workforce. His comeback takes an unexpected turn when he is personally approached by the Managing Director of a company, Dhaval Thakkar, offering him a role. This seemingly simple decision pulls him into a whirlpool of office politics, power games, and corporate drama. In the midst of it all, Shivaswamy finds solace in spiritual teachings, never suspecting that this job would entangle him in battles he never wanted to fight. Dhaval Thakkar, a man of means yet searching for peace, finds comfort and trust in Shivaswamy’s friendship, a bond that puzzles his family and colleagues. Their relationship becomes the heart of the story, set against the bustling, business-driven backdrop of Bengaluru. Dattathri’s crisp, descriptive narrative captures not only the business dynamics but also the unspoken emotions and silent struggles of both men, one striving to make ends meet with dignity, the other searching for peace despite abundance. He skillfully weaves these threads into a rich narrative about determination, trust, legacy, wisdom, and the fragile balance between professional and personal life.
