In The Travellers the absurdity of life - a world without God and joy - is brought to consciousness through the encounters of Alvin, Cecil and Blair at a train station. It is underpinned by the philosophy of atheistic existentialism as depicted in works by Samuel Becket, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter and Edward Albee. The Travellers is a play in three acts which has all the features of absurd plays - with the absurdist formula of (aclp2t) + (afi2lms) + (tc) - action is reduced - characters are reduced - language is reduced - plot is reduced - place is reduced - the sense of alienation, fear, isolation, insecurity, loneliness, mystery and suspense - and the tragic-comic scenes - nothing is happening - but everything is happening.

Many people of the world have followed the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi and have brought prosperity to themselves and their societies. It is often thought that the principles of Mahatma Gandhi are too hard to be followed by a common man. But when we share success stories of everyday people who have followed his teachings and prospered, we come to know that his principles are easily followed by anyone, anywhere, anytime, and would produce the same results - prosperity and welfare. Undoubtedly, he is ever relevant. Forgetting him is equal to forgetting love, peace, truth, justice and ahimsa* in the world. To inculcate good manners, respect, peace, harmony, values, culture and ethics to young children and youth in the world so as to ensure that they can become good citizens across the world in the future and to educate against the evil effects of wrongs, this book will help because the thoughts and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi are most relevant today.

There is no place for suppression, exploitation, violence, or atrocity in any civilised society. One should condemn these acts and consider aiding those in need as the noblest religion to practise in life, the true path to God. People like Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, and many others sacrificed their lives for humanity and Mother Earth, their names etched in history, never to be forgotten. This fictional work venerates them all, anticipating that they will contribute to the world's magical beauty and provide humanity with a virtuous environment to thrive in. The novel, telling of poverty-stricken Ella's quest for justice against wealthy Harris, vehemently opposes exploitation, suppression, injustice, and atrocity. It also denounces conversions motivated by greed, fear, or coercion, as these spawn additional evils and erode social harmony. The work maintains steadfast faith in the rule of law and justice.

In honour of wisdom, a grand seminar on 'Man and Divinity' unfolds revealing the absurdity of existence. Inside a lecture hall, professors Max, who stands for knowledge, and Kim, a sceptical spirit judging the same, are pinned against each other in a duel of ideas. Several other teachers are also participating in the seminar. As they ponder over the nature of being and await the arrival of their current-day "KNOW ALL", the ferocity of human frailty comes crashing down. A plane crashes. As the voice of wisdom falls silent, indeed, our constructs become monuments of vacuity. In this tragicomic play, Teachers' Day, contemplates the existential crisis of a world adrift, struggling with futility amid the chase for meaning in a universe indifferent to our grand designs, a testimony to the poignant human wish for purpose amid absurdity.
