Sneak Peek- my new book in Kindle

Sneak Peek
https://www.amazon.com/dp/b08v8gxv5h

Story one: The lunatic-

Scratching sound on her window woke her up. Mina opened her eyes, it was dark outside but she could see vaguely because of the streetlight. Someone was standing at the window, slowly running her finger on the glass, looking at her.

An old woman with disheveled hair and hungry eyes, she was staring at her like she wanted to devour Mina with her eyes!

She woke up in her bed with a bad taste in her mouth. Her husband was sleeping by her, like a baby. One arm wrapped around her waist. She gently freed herself and went downstairs for a cup of tea.

A strange feeling of gloom took over her whenever she dreamt about this old woman. Sometimes she will dream that she was stalking her in a deserted road, sometimes she would be in a strange place with strange people, people who seemed known to her then this woman will show up and they will disappear.

The story of a young woman and her nightmares, how they became real in most horrific way!

Story two: The old graveyard

She fell asleep thinking about the song and had a strange, scary dream. She was walking alone in a deserted road, it was dark and the streetlights were really faint, most probably hundred watt bulbs. Huge, bushy trees were on both sides of the road, softly shaking in the wind. They looked like ghosts or monsters standing there, watching her, about to pounce!

Suddenly she heard that song, this time louder and clearer, she followed it and soon was standing at the gate of a graveyard. The sound was coming from inside the cemetery. She opened the gate and entered it. Like a dreamer does without thinking about the consequences, then she started looking for the singer.

Story of a young girl in college, when she heard that song for the first time her very soul froze, as if a dark clammy hand from her past reached out and touched her unleashing stark horror.

More stories in the book!

Sneak Peek is a brand new book with brand new stories, the stories of this book has not been published before. Actually these were written for this book specially, I also decided to include it in Amazon’s pentopublish competition for fun. The stories are my favorite genre of course, spooky and mystery. Hope you will check them out and enjoy them!

Don’t forget to share your views after reading.

I will be waiting!

heading back to cave era!

Step by step our country is being led back to primitive times, back in the times when men lived in caves and if they fancied a woman they dragged her by hair and forced themselves upon them [gangrape of a child in Hathras, U.P. the perpetrators were helped widely by U.P. Govt.’s police and BJP supporters, trying to nail the girl’s family for her death, calling it all a hoax.].

If any other man dared to look at their women they were clobbered to death or cause serious physical injury. The U.P. govt [where women certainly are not safe, and most probably still live the life of second class citizen in most places] recently legalized an outrageous law [blaming muslims of course, wicked fellows trying to steal Hindu girls in the name of Love Zehad] that makes women’s bodies the properties of their family, their larger family, the state and the police but not theirs! If an adult Hindu girl decides to marry a Muslim man she will have to get approval of cops and her family, if not then her husband, his family will end up in jail. Just as you have guessed the papers are already getting news of minor boys getting jailed because someone in their family married a Hindu girl, or couples getting whipped by cops for marrying out of their religion. So our revered Indian government is making us their property? What about our HUMAN RIGHTS? OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS?

Our Saffron brigades’s beloved U.P. is beyond words, recently a commissioner of Bareily openly told press how uneasy he felt when he realized that 38 men and women in one single city has committed suicide (?) because they had inter-religious marriages. By the way that commissioner was not a wicked Muslim, he was a Hindu Brahmin.

Well what one caveman does the other sure does, so soon the next notorious state where a sixty year woman is not safe, Madhya Pradesh picked up the tune and legalized the law, the third one two joined in Karnataka.

I really hope India will be able to form a decent political party and kick this party out of parliament in the next vote.

Apart from that I sincerely hope and pray that Bengalis wont let this party enter Bengal ever! If they have brain and dignity they wont!

Jay shri ram Netaji!

Our much revered Prime Minister and his Rambhakta sena paid us a visit on 23rd January to “dishonour” one of Bengal’s favorites, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the overzealous “bhaktas” were heard shouting Jay Shri Ram from the crowd. I sincerely hope that the Bengalis with brain took a note of that gesture and if they have any blood of freedom fighters, liberal human beings left in their veins they will never allow BJP in Bengal.

It is crystal clear how much respect they have for Netaji and Bengal and what will they do to Bengalis and their idols if they grab the power and devour this state too!

A party that has no decorum, dignity and is ready to do everything for power is not welcome here anymore, we have suffered one for thirty years and are still licking our wounds, reminding ourselves of our true wealth that lies not in China or Russia but in Bengal.

Our current chief minister or her party may have their flaws but they are not fascists, they have brought all religions together, they celebrate every festival Hindu or of other religions openly and they have kept Bengal safe for independent women till date. Here a five year old girl can play outside her home not watched over by her parents, a young woman can go to field and work in peace, an old woman can sleep in her home in peace without being afraid of ruling party backed animal’s attack and murder!

We don’t want to go back in time, drink cow urine or eat cow-dung, we believe women are equals to men and we believe Muslims are our brothers/friends/neighbours, don’t bring your poison to Bengal, stay away from it!

It is not the first time though, they have shown the same cheapness during the birthday celebration of Swami vivekananda too, when their overzealous bhakts washed a statue of Swamiji with water of Ganges because the local ruling party has offered their puja to that statue. How lower can a party sink!

Forget about calling out a dead celebrity [Jahar Ganguly- one of the icons of Bengali movie who passed away in 1968 or so] at his home and causing pain or shock to his family members!
No sane Bengali wants you keep your vanarsena, cow dung, cow pee and politics of hatred away from us!
