In Mirror of Dreams Ashok Bhargava writes about the infinite possibilities of dreams and cultures converging to surprising consequences, lovely and adventurous. He writes about simple sentiments that memorialize his experiences as a tourist and recalls the story of a sixteen-year-old princess of Ayodhya (India) who sailed to Korea to marry King Kim Suro, two thousand years ago.

Last President Kim Dae Jung and Prime Minister Jong Pil Kim of the Republic of Korea claim to be descendants of princess of India and King Suro.
