Chris Real, an MBA from a premier management
institute, and a qualified mechanical engineer, is the Associate Director of global
supply chain applications in an acoustics solutions company. He had worked in
strategy and process consulting companies across the globe. Recently he
completed a senior certification in Green Supply Chain from an accredited
university in USA. A career professional in supply chain and process
consulting, he has nearly two decades of experience across a spectrum of
industries from pharmaceuticals, publishing, retail, consumer goods etc. He
happens to be an avid reader and traveler in the same breath. Of late his
travels have taken him through the land of the Incas in Peru, the swamps and
rain forests of Amazon and also the ruggedly beautiful Mayan ruins in Guatemala
and Mexico. He is a meticulous researcher on historical topics that have gaps
or mysteries awaiting explanation. One such was Jesus Christ’s life and the
stories about him being in India twice in his lifetime. Being of South Asian
origin, he has spent some dedicated time going through native literature and
chronicles of Jesus in India and referenced other writers or chroniclers in
Central Asia and Iran. Having done the hard yards, he had been able to piece
together a month-by-month account of historical Jesus’ life and write it in a
novel format. It is called Gospel of
Jesus – Tallest Tale Never Told.
He also grew up in a multi-religious
environment with missionaries, oriental and occidental, and is heavily
influenced by rationalists and freethinkers. He has also written on
religion-related blogs and has been a keen follower of the recent surge in
religion related literature. He has been unusually able to fuse his religious
studies into his first published literary venture in 2011 based on the end of the world as described in all religious
scriptures. He dares to boldly answer the question whether Kallki or Jesus or
Mahdi or Maitreya will come to save the world. It is being sold in bookshops
and online retailers. It is also on Amazon.com and available for worldwide
distribution. He also regularly delivers talk on religion and eschatology in
various gatherings. He has also written about his experiences in process
consulting in the form of a tongue-in-cheek novel called LIVING ON THE DIAMOND EDGE. Presently he lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter.
Dedication:
Chris would like to dedicate this book to his wife and daughter, who saw the
book develop through the thick and thin of travel and office work. Also would
like to say big thanks to his parents who never lost faith in his abilities.
Not to forget the coterie of friends, colleagues and well-wishers who egged him
on through it all. They surely know who they are. Big cheers to everybody.
