Descent of Dhara

Context 
Set in the future, this book tackles the conflict between humans and nature over extinct creatures.The 7 chapters cover the stages of grief experienced by individuals and nature itself. The characters include blind elderly man longing for the past, Agasthya [the savior, whose name was inspired by Saint Agastya], Agasthya's son, river, maintenance team leader, and the wind.
Humans' overconsumption and greed have led to the loss of animal species, and now it's time for nature to take retribution. Mother Hiranya, also known as "gold" in Sanskrit, has developed a sensitivity to human activity and is now causing destruction wherever it detects tension. Global resource scarcity prohibits migration. Humans are disturbed and attempting to repent for their irresponsibility. Mother's rage over losing her children has led them to use biomimicry for daily duties. This narrative explores how people overcome their dread of mortality by adopting animal-like behaviors to live.
