We Will Meet Again: Book Launch @ Delhi Book Fair!

So, I am finally living the dream I was chasing. I have published my first book (Gargi Publishers) "We Will Meet Again...', released on 31st July.

We Will Meet Again is a mature love story. It's about believing in love, and a stupid challenge. It carries various shades of emotions, ego, and betrayal. I have tried to embellish it with interesting flavours of humour and repartee.

If you like strong characters and believable situations, you will like my book. You can buy my book here @ an amazing discount!

Here's the Amazon link.

We Will Meet Again was launched on 28th August @ Delhi Book Fair. It was my first experience. I was excited and nervous at the same time, but the event was nice! Sharing some pictures from the event.

Our Stall. Stall no. 7B. Hall no. 11. Can you spot my book? We have a reading corner too. You can read a few pages before buying the book. Do visit.

The Smoke Is Rising. BM Day 10

Clicked these on my way to Gangotri

I watch the raindrops 

Sinking into the lush velvety grass

Swaying little flowers,

Thick mist that shrouds the mighty mountains

Heavy drops turn drizzles

Gentle breeze carries the whiff of nature

Takes the mist away, and the mighty mountain appears

Tall and powerful

Holding the vast sky

Embracing the twisted path safely in its arm

River flowing along furiously

Mounds of clouds

Breaking away, slowly

Look, the smoke is rising!

Cover of my debut novel: We Will Meet Again

Dreams and desires

Ego, doubts, and a stupid bet

Bitter-sweet love-tale

A tale of love and loss; of believing in love,  embellished with various shades of emotions, and flavours of humour and repartee.

Will you join me in this joyous journey?

Unveiling the cover of my first book (Ah, my first book! Such a long journey it was! As a writer, I grew with this book. As I proceeded with my dream, so many things/emotions were left behind. And, I know I have a long way to go!)

I hope you like the cover. Thank you Gargi Publishers & Amol Karambe for such a lovely cover!

What do you think about the cover and the blurb? Would you mind sharing your views with me?

Vista, so mesmerizing!

Nature walks along,

Cascading like poetry

Swaying, lush greenery

As if dancing in the arms of breeze

Tingling touch of love

Mountains, high and snowy

Dispersing warmth of golden sunshine

Thick cottony clusters of cloud

Can be embraced, it seems

Heart flutters to witness

Vista, so mesmerizing!

Try once...you may succeed

I clicked this picture two days back and as I looked at this picture, I thought..."What does this picture reflect?"  'Confidence and Poise' came to my mind. No matter that  it's alone, in a limited space.

People around you, showing their support, make you feel good but it’s not that you can’t do anything alone. It's 'YOU', you can rely upon. 

One of my dear friends is planning to do something of her own but she is afraid and confused. 

“I don’t know if I would be able to do it alone.” She says.

“How would you know if you don’t try? At least once.” I asked.

People keep thinking about support and resources. But you might have seen many self-made people who have succeeded without much support and with very limited resources.

I think if you have confidence, dedication and ability to handle things appropriately you can do many things alone even if with limited resources. I believe that we should at least try. Because when we try, there are two possibilities: Success or Failure. Moreover you gain experience.

But if you don’t even try, there is only one possibility: Failure

I think if you want to do something (something that is creative and rewarding and of course, morally correct) in life, you must try it. Otherwise you will keep thinking in future “Had I tried it once, I might have succeeded”.  So don't be afraid of failure as failure has a tendency to frighten. Fight it. 

Be confident. Be determined. Be honest to your work. Be hopeful. And go ahead!

You know ‘fear of failure’ keeps us away from the ‘bliss of success’ :)

Promise of a beautiful tomorrow

(I clicked this picture last night)

Bright and calm moon

And myriads of stars

Promised me a beautiful tomorrow

So what this day was dull and depressing

A beautiful new day is waiting for me

To learn new things

To make new plans

To start afresh….

If something went wrong today, it doesn’t mean that tomorrow can’t be a beautiful one. You just have to promise yourself that you’ll take a fresh start tomorrow, forgetting the woes of today. There’s always a hope of refinement, good performance, success and happiness…

My entry for: Theme Thursday

Vibrant greenery

Vibrant greenery

Decorated with exotic colours

Soul of the earth’s charismatic panorama…

Nature is the best blessing we have and it’s good to have lush greenery around. And rain creates a wonderful aura by adding brightness and freshness in nature. Soothing breeze. Clean dancing water drops on the soft green leaves. Vibrating supple delicate flowers… Actually, these days I am being very lazy and couldn’t write (or even read much!!!) so I’m trying to capture some beautiful and interesting glimpse of nature……I clicked these pictures yesterday. It’s nice…isn’t it?

Charming view

View from my balcony…. I clicked it two days back! 

This view evokes a feeling of freedom...Happy Independence Day!
