"The Unbecoming is transformative philosophy in the guise of fiction. Inspiring, insightful and strengthening—reading this is a spiritual practice in itself."

"The Unbecoming by Kartikeya Vajpai shows that unbecoming isn’t falling apart; it’s falling into place. Through intimate reflections and transformative insights, it guides you to shed old identities and make room for what is true. It’s a journey of courage, clarity and becoming whole."
DaajiGlobal Guide, Heartfulness Movement

"The Unbecoming by Kartikeya Vajpai demonstrates how one can develop skill in action in any field of activity through the practise of meditation and moment-to-moment awareness. While doing so, it eloquently explains the effects of egoism, karma, awareness, detachment, faith, gratitude and the principle of the Guru. The story of Siddharth, an ageing cricket superstar, engages the reader till a surprising ending."
