Salutes to true stars in dark sky of the pandemic!

[image error]


Salutes to those brave hearts who are risking their lives and saving others in these dark days! May God keep you and your families safe!


Cops of Baguihati police station in Kolkata not only saved a labourer who was dying of exhaustion on road they offered him shelter in police station because he had no money to afford one for himself! May your kindness be returned in thousand-folds!


True star Hrithik Roshan is feeding one lakh people every day! Now, that is what I will call a real star. All we read in newspapers from stars these days is how they are passing time with their families, pets and cutting their husband’s hair because he cant go to saloon… it was a real joy to read about someone who is caring for those who are starving in a concrete manner! God bless you!

Kingmaker in Kindle in April 2020


This year a new book will get published in Kindle, along with the rewritten ones.I think five year break is good enough for a new title! The name wont be “Kingmaker” though, when I gave this name to the novel I was writing I had no idea that the word is so popular, after googling afterwards I decided I will look for a unique name, but I certainly will mention that it Kingmaker in case you are one of those who have liked the story when I was sharing it in my blog.


Author Troy David Loy (https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy/ ) edited this book and patiently handled this story set in an absolutely different culture from his! I will never be able to thank him enough for the editing (free of cost) he has done for my works. He truly is an angel without wings in my world! God bless him now and forever with the very best only!


Kingmaker is the story of an evil emperor of organized crime and his courtiers, how they make and break lives utilizing the human weaknesses to the full.


Their empire sits on ruined lives of honest and innocent. A land you will never, ever want to walk in but they don’t care about your opinions or preferences! If they want you they will either get you or destroy you beyond repair! Brace yourself for an utterly dark story!


If you read reality-based criminal stories you may get a few things to ponder about from this book, because it certainly is not cooked out of air, but is very much based on real life criminal activities published in newspapers mostly.


The only thing imaginary about it is are its King and his Courtiers, but, then, who can say? Maybe that puppeteer truly exists!

A bouquet of wild flowers 2020


A bouquet of wildflowers



This year most poems are new but a bunch have been repeated.


The poems are about myriad things as usual but a large portion is about nature, my favorite topic. Hopefully, you will like them too. When you have finished the book do write me an email expressing your opinions, I will be much obliged!


The earlier year books will be published in shoptly and gumroad with the same name, that is the 2019 version of A bouquet of Wild Flowers will be published in Shoptly and Gumroad as A bouquet of Wild Flowers 2019. 2019 will be the first bunch. I may add the earlier years later, but the coming years will be regularly published in Shoptly and Gumroad.


It will be a good idea to keep the older versions around I believe.

Works from my wordpress blog are shared here. That I think is more convenient for me because I am quite at home with blogging there. So why not utilize the privilege when I can share the works there.
