In Facets of love, I have tried to explore the heart and the mind of different people to reflect their perception about love. The story revolves around Sara and Sidhant, who were bound together by an unrealized feeling of mystical love.

Have you also ever felt connected to a person even without knowing him or her? A feeling which causes restlessness sans attributable reasons. Or for that matter, have you ever identified something in you which was different from your family or the environment; and at times, you just wonder- why are you, the way you are?

In my new novel ‘Scars on my Soul’ I have tried to explore the unexplored dimensions of human relationships– a journey of the soul across births.

It makes one believe that intricacies of human relationships are not only influenced by our present life, but some scars on the soul can have a substantial impact on our current life.

Let me try to write it in scientific terms, which I think most of us with a logical mind would like to believe.

Do you know human feelings like excessive jealousy, hatred, etc. are all mental problems?

Yes, one thing we all would agree to is that they severely impact our relationships.

Medical science says (https://www.sane.org/mental-health-an...), most people with a mental illness do not have family members with the illness. For some mental disorders, there does not seem to be a link at all. For others, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, a predisposition to the illness may be inherited – but even then, it is only one of several factors. The causes are not fully understood. It is likely that such mental disorders involve a biochemical imbalance and can be triggered by such things as stressful life events, drug abuse, hormonal changes or physical illness.

But, when there’s no identifiable cause, can it be some unfathomed side of human existence- journey of soul across births?
