Author Vish Dhamija Presents ‘Deja Karma’ and Explores Mental Health Perspectives
Renowned author Vish Dhamija launched his latest book, ‘Deja Karma,’ at Kunzum Books in New Delhi. The event drew attention to the complex nature of the protagonist, Jay Singh, who can be considered an anti-hero. Dhamija’s discussion with Shabri Prasad Singh, author of ‘Borderline,’ shed light on the protagonist’s twisted backstory and their balanced and empathetic view on mental health issues. Both Dhamija and Singh shared their experience with therapy and how it influenced their understanding of mental health.
During the event, Dhamija clarified that while Jay Singh’s troubled childhood may explain some of his behaviors, it does not excuse them. He emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions and not using a difficult past as a justification for immoral behavior.
In ‘Deja Karma,’ Jay Singh, a lawyer known for his ruthless tactics, faces a high-stakes case that puts his career and life at risk. The book delves into the realms of legal and crime thrillers, but it also explores philosophical themes such as karma and the consequences of our choices.
Explaining the title of his book, Dhamija noted that human beings have the freedom to make choices, but often fail to recognize that these choices have consequences, which is what karma represents. The repetition of certain patterns and people’s failure to learn from them is the deja aspect of the title.
Despite the dark themes of his book, Dhamija reflected a positive and humorous outlook on life, friendship, and love. He encouraged people to embrace the mystery of life, rather than approaching it as a problem to be solved.
The event concluded with an interactive session where the audience had the opportunity to have their books signed by the author. Dhamija also shared exciting news about the upcoming production of a television series based on his popular ‘Rita Ferreira’ series.
Vish Dhamija’s ‘Deja Karma’ not only takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the realms of crime and law but also opens up dialogue about mental health and the consequences of one’s choices. With its thought-provoking themes and complex characters, the book promises to captivate readers seeking a thrilling and insightful reading experience.
