**Meeting the legendary Ashutosh Rana ji was not just an interaction—it was a moment of profound inspiration.**

The joy and happiness of presenting him my book *Shat Shat Vande Chess* cannot truly be described in words. It felt deeply personal—almost spiritual.

While writing Chapter 2 on Ravan — *“The Flawed Sovereign”* — I experienced something extraordinary. As I explored Ravan’s brilliance, his devotion to Lord Shiva, his scholarship, his musical genius, and yet his tragic flaws—his ego, obsession, and downfall—I could almost hear Ashutosh ji’s powerful voice guiding the narrative. It felt as though his portrayal of Ravan was shaping my pen… as if the character himself was dictating how the chapter should evolve.

Ashutosh ji’s interpretation of Ravan has always stood apart—intense, intellectual, layered. His rendition of the **Shiv Tandav Stotram**, penned by Aalok Shrivastava, is not merely a performance—it is an invocation. The rhythm, the force, the devotion—it captures the very essence of the sovereign who was magnificent, yet flawed.

*Shat Shat Vande Chess* traces a 15,000-year odyssey—from Mandodari’s strategic brilliance in Lanka to modern India’s chess renaissance. And I truly believe that the cinematic journey of this story would feel complete if I receive his blessings and permission to incorporate his Hindi rendition of the *Shiv Tandav Stotram* in the film.

Some meetings inspire!
Some meetings energise!
And some feel divinely destined!!

This was one of them.

Grateful. Humbled. Inspired. 🙏♟️
