Hello, everyone! apologies for not being able to update any blogs since long. Not that I didn't feel like blogging during the interim, with so many things going right from the Rio Olympics to the election of Donald Trump to demonetization of the Indian currency with higher denominations to the issue of the Cauvery water distribution. there indeed were many things that needed writing about, but as it turns out, I was pretty preoccupied with the publication of my first book. Yes, my prolonged struggled to get myself published is finally coming true with the publication of "Laments and Virtues" my collection of poetries and short stories.
With the arrival of my book due December, I finally have some time to spare to write update my blog and highlight some points about the book which may not be possible to convey through my facebook page, twitter or Instagram. So here it is:-
LaV is a collection of ten poems and three short stories. The essential theme that binds them together is the plight, dilemma and laments that seem to engulf us during our day to day lives. Sometimes, we feel like breaking free and escaping, sometimes we stay and fight, sometimes we succeed while in other times, we fail. Whatever might our decision be, or whatever be their consequences, we always find them become part and parcel of our lives insomuch as they end up being the defining elements of our lives. We find some virtues in our laments. This is the heart of the book to be realised through every piece of writing.
LaV was not incepted the way it has turned out. My first book was supposed to be a collection of short stories for middle-grade children and the poetries were not to be published anytime soon. But as it turned out, I found that many of my poetries seem to be telling more or less the same thing in ways more than one, yet each having its own way of expressing its meaning. It was then I came up with the idea of getting them published under one title. And the result was the emergence of 'Laments and Virtues'.
So, till the time it comes out and reaches your bookshelves, KEEP READING, KEEP LOVING.
