Black, Grey and White Review by – Md.Ishaq Hundekar��

This book is very useful as it contains ‘burning issues of modern society’. The stories are in the form of dialogue that uses precise situation and language so that readers (specially Young and adult students)��are being impressed by this Authors. Because now a days reading habits are not promising the book full fills such limitations��i.e Creating awareness among people about social evils and harmful diseases like HIV, AIDS, specially among young generation. Special thanks for giving such special book to society.

Black, Grey and White Book Cover

Santosh Avvannavar & Santosh Biradar have done a commendable writing. Black, Grey and White is an apt name to symbolise that none is spared.The book encompasses five succinct short stories unveiling the HIV victims n their journey.In this era of books coming up with humorous, entertaining, this one being a social messenger stands classy with pricey thoughts. Where HIV has become a taboo in society,the BGW unravells its being human concept to look towards victims.

Making of ‘Black, Grey and White’ Book – Part 1

I am here to share experience of writing ‘Black, Grey and White’ book that was launched on 01 Dec 2014 on ‘World AIDS Day’. The series of articles might help some aspiring writers. It all started with an invitation from Dr.Sharanbasvaraj and Mr.Sanjeev Kumar to attend two day workshop held for ICTC counsellor’s. I was initially reluctant to attend as it seemed to be too technical. I thought about it over a day and decide to attend half a day to further decide.

The resource person was Dr. Saurabh Kumar, faculty from Father Muller’s Hospital, Mangalore. He being from a non-kannada speaking state delivered the talk in Kannada language. I got to know that he learnt Kannada while he pursued his medicine in one of the medical colleges in Karnataka. His simple narration was like a idea factory to me. I made few points as the sessions progressed and I happen to mention Mr.Sanjeev Kumar about a book coming up on a theme. This formed the first chapter – Shahid – The Martyr. Mr.Santosh I Biradar (author) helped to get some interesting information on myths of HIV and AIDS, technical details of post office, and look/understand the story from a social worker prospective.

The chapter 1 was read by seven peers prior to the book launch and most of them found it to be intriguing, engrossing and an eye opener.

Journey of ‘Title is Untitled’ – Part 1

I am writing this based on feedback/review and request for aspiring writers to know how ‘Title is Untitled’ evolved. These series of articles to be looked as a source of inspirations and remember that a book is a team effort. It all started in a causal discussion with a sister (& friend) Dr.Bhagyashree in Sep 2013. She happen to mention about two stories that two women (victims) faced for their no mistake. I cling to Dr.Bhagyashree till the characters went visually into my head.��This gave birth to write a writing a book on social issues with a tentative title ‘First Night, No Light’. Harish, a friend laughed at the title and mentioned that the book will create waves. However the title got changed but it remained as a tagline. Her snippet formed first two chapters

Chapter 1: Kamali : The desire of my heart

Chapter 2: Sahana : A game of love, lust and repetitive compulsion��

These two chapters dealt with sensitive issues such as ‘child marriage’ and ‘impotency’. These two chapters taught of the meaning of disciplining ‘forgiving and forgetting’ and I feel these two characters form a model for such victims.

Thank you Dr.Bhagyashree for fuelling the book.

Black, Grey and White Book Review by Rajashree Ghosh

Black, Grey & White��by Santosh Avvannavar and Santosh I Biradar gifts its readers five fantastic short stories that has a common aim ��� to spread awareness about AIDS, the current social dilemma. It is an opportunity for people to unite in the fight against AIDS and show their solidarity for HIV positive people. AIDS is still considered a social stigma in some pockets. No one is spared from it ��� whether its young (black hair) or mid (grey hair) or old (white hair). The book is an eye opener for anyone who wish to see the wave of positive change in society.
