Illume, Ashes and The Wind -
I am pleased to introduce my recently finished fiction novel, "Illume, Ashes and The Wind", of 100,000 words. This is the first in a planned series and will be available soon.
In summary: ILLUME is Almighty’s greatest creation and the ancient name of Earth. It combines an immersive world with early Vedic Gods and humans with fast-paced writing, a distinctive map, and a diverse cast of characters. It tells a story of Illume shaping the world's ancient human civilizations, beliefs and religion (early-Vedic times). It includes myths that are mostly not covered and presents folklores with a twist.
On a Drive with Life, as a collection of short stories, was a concept that passed my mind some 15 years back. Slowly, but with dedication, I have added into the collection. The collection includes love, tragedy, adventure, horror, separation, regret, desire, satisfaction, happiness and all the varied emotions. As the name suggests, the collection aims at taking the readers on a drive with their emotions, such that they share the emotions of the character. Their feelings are being portrayed as a part of the storyline, that they may have underwent at certain phases in their lives. The essence is to stir the emotions of the reader with unexpected endings. As a collection, the stories are designed to provide a fascinating experience, such that the readers can clear down their memory lanes, and indeed go On A Drive With Life!!
Acknowledgement:
This has been a long, wandering, and eventful journey before the book got its complete shape. During this exciting journey, I encountered numerous moments that polished the content of the book and shaped the direction it went. But the moment that gives me pride, was the meetings with the editor of Times of India, Mr Rajkumar. His praise and guidance had been precious, and since then provided an urge to get better consistently.
I would take out a moment and give heartily thanks to all my friends and family who contributed a lot to make this a success. You all have been the finest critics and the best of support that drove me further to give concrete form to this concept.
