Greed Lust Addiction : Victory over vices makes you champion by Ravi Dabral

The Blurb;
Materialism is the mantra of the modern generation, whose motto is to ‘eat, drink and be merry’. This philosophy gives rise to ‘greed, lust and addiction’ which are vices within us. As against this, spiritualism believes in having ‘ virtues, values and morals’ to live a contented, stress-free and purposeful life.

This is the journey of an investigative journalist, thrillingly revealing mysteries of the corrupt material world. Believing in following the virtuous, righteous and spiritual path in life, how far will he succeed in a society dominated by corrupt politicians, unscrupulous greedy businessmen, puppet media, insensitive police, and even a biased judiciary?
Will he survive in the midst of the powerful lobbies who have scant regard for human life? Or will he be crushed like a beetle under a booted foot, as everyone predicts? Or will he be able to stand up just with the help of a handful of yogis of the Himalayan ashrams and their spiritual followers?
A novel with lots of twists, turns, conflicts, romance, emotions, drama, suspense, thrill and action, promising a mesmerising reading experience…


About The Book:

‘Greed Lust Addiction…’ as the blurb states is the story of a journalist wherein he rediscovers himself and his life while his life turns upside down with once incident. It is the story of almost every street or city of India now a days. The language, setup, tone and descriptions used by the author Ravi Dabral made the book quite relatable.

The author managed to introduce many sub-plots some of which were handled quite well while others just managed to surface and end with no details. There were many twists and turns which unfortunately were quite predictable. Also, the cover, which I really liked at the first loo, but somehow, could not relate much considering the theme and background of setup. I think the it could have been something else or better.


The book takes a direct dig at present level of corruption when it comes to Indian politics, judiciary system, police, business and common man. I also liked the usage of education and technologies which the author applied when it comes to practicing yoga, self discovery  and welfare of society.
