“A Ride With The River Man” was centred around the theme of Karma yoga from the Bhagavad Gita, that a man stands liberated if he can remove “I” and “mine” from all his actions. When you indulge in actions without an egoistic mind and an attachment to the results, you stand liberated from the pain and pleasures arising from it.

While we may have heard of innumerable exemplary humans who have lived by the words and through their selfless pursuits made monumental advancements in the history of mankind, the story of the River Man was an attempt to envisage a man, in the present times going about his mundane life, fighting his everyday battles with a song in his heart and a smile on his lips with no claims to his actions or the fruits they bore.

What is it to love without bounds or boundaries? In family or at work, in pursuits of passion or professing love, how an unfettered mind enjoys the absolute freedom and the ever-widening vision to always endeavour for the well-being of all around.

A fictional framework laid down to tap the potential of a human mind to its fullest, in its expansiveness uncontainable within the small web of one’s desires, expectations, judgements and conceit, breaking beyond all boundaries to forge into an unending realm of happiness, that is innate in each one of us and left for us to uncover.

A compassionate human who cannot bear to see another in tears and warms up to everyone that comes by, finding his happiness in all their smiles.  When life throws at him, a lady love, loss and many challenges, how he wins over them, in fairness and jest, with charm and a childlike spirit, is the story all about.
