It was a novel written in verse composed of 590 stanzas or sonnets that narrated the story of a group of young people living in San Francisco, interpreting life, searching for adventure and trying to understand the meaning of love. In subsequent years, Seth wrote several other novels, the most famous of them being A Suitable Boy, which cemented his place among India's top fiction writers in English.
Almost 38 years after he wrote his first novel, Seth has returned to the verse form. But this time he has chosen to translate one of the most popular and widely recited poems of Tulsidas, the 16th century Vaishnava poet who wrote in Sanskrit, Awadhi and Braj Bhasha. It is a short poem. Hanuman Chalisa - which is a hymn to Hanuman, the supremely powerful monkey in the Ramayana whose unparalleled devotion to Rama and his wife, Sita, elevated him to the status of a god. It has 43 couplets and is commonly recited by many Hindus not only on religious occasions but also to ward off evil or to ensure success in any endeavour.
