Front Cover of Kill to Thrill

Kochi, Kerala Jul 9, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Surviving the Unthinkable: From Horror to Hope and Beyond

"Kill to Thrill," authored by KB Kumar, is a compelling read that offers a powerful collection of real-life experiences, weaving together tales of struggle, reflection, resilience, and triumph. Through harrowing and deeply personal narratives, this book echoes the plasticity of the human spirit, urging readers to look beyond. 

Written with raw honesty and heartfelt wisdom, Kill to Thrill is more than a trove of extraordinary experiences: It is a passionate call to action, inspiring individuals to rise above difficulties, limitations and the mundane. Whether navigating personal challenges or seeking fresh perspectives, this book delivers a message of hope and empowerment.

The work has captivated learned readers and critics, earning accolades from esteemed writers, educators, and thinkers. Among the many voices of praise, a seasoned veteranwho has lived 83 years absorbing literature and ideasremarked that he has never come across a work quite like this.

From surviving the horrors of the Indian Ocean earthquake and Tsunami to encountering an enigmatic girl raised by wild dogs in Bihar, the unplanned adventures the author undertakes are "nothing short of nerve-racking escapades." Wait for that heart-pounding night trek to take you to the midst of the aggressive sloth bears and the mischievous wild wolves in the Himalayas, undaunted by the freezing breeze whispering stories of the Yeti. Or share in the private joy of the first father in the country to witness childbirth at a time such a "misadventure" would only meet with "lorry-loads of belittling giggles, snickering laughter and demoralising smirks!" Else, witness the fury of that lone tusker up in arms in the jungles once ruled by the Smuggler King Veerappan! Then, live through the dreadful privilege the author had of rescuing two tender kids and their parents from terror savages! For a change, plunge into those "headto heart reflections" on education or the radically transformative eco-existential concerns. The random and disparate interweave in this non-fiction work, embracing profound thoughts.

"Ups and downs, pains and pleasures, often birth together as Zygotic twins. Remain collected and seek a positive transition when feeling powerless and overwhelmed. View the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, as a blessing in disguise to alert man to his forgotten duties and commitments and help him avert the worst before it strikes!" "Mull over the camouflaged developmental self-militancy of our race! Take technology, its corollary! Technology is for man. Man for technology is glorified stupidity. Materialistic and consumerist underpinnings of socialisation blur human vision and Species-specific instincts! Myopic materialism, blind consumerism, and cut-throat competition are partners in crime. They missile-attack simplicity, peace, environmental sanity, and humanising qualities! We succumb and turn into animals, forgetting the role evolutionary biology - Mother Nature - has endowed us with. Should we not re-discover our evolutionary intelligence to thrive on Planet Earth in peace and harmony? Must we not joyfully progress towards higher levels of consciousness for which nature has crowned us atop the evolutionary hierarchy?"

On many occasions, the author betrays his contemplative intellect for meditative argumentation and insightful deductions: "Biosocial Intelligence", "Gandhi as biology in evolution," "humanising science and competition," and "terror as the coward's candy trap" offer glimpses. Many of his views on education may appear idealistic, but isn't education meant to bring about positive reforms to achieve peace, prosperity, and an ideal way of living? He believes that "if the head doesn't descend in humility to wed the heart and inspire a wholesome Eco-spiritual Vision, our education will degenerate into an existential disaster Abused education is the sure source of social malignancy."
