Dear friends,
I start my birthday year, by presenting to you my latest book – a collection of short stories, titled ‘EXISTENCES’.
‘Existences’ – is the sensitive, analytic and empathetic rendering of a young woman’s insights into the vagaries of human existences from the richness of a tapestry of social experiences in her working life.
‘Existences’ tracks the life of a young woman, barely stepping into a career, after the completion of her academic studies. This is simultaneous to her parent’s attempts to get her married off. The stories record her emotional and moral trials, the triumphs and surprises she faces, as she navigates her way through the maze of the corporate world. Six days a week she strives at gaining the attention and respect she deserves, in a male dominated world that is far from kind to a woman, more so if she is good looking. Intelligence and capability are not considered akin to good looks, especially in the case of a woman in our world that is so zealous of stereotyping.
This collection of stories is the rendering of a young woman’s insights into human existences from the richness of a tapestry of social experiences in her working life. The narratives, each short story a unique one, form a collage to help see with clarity those simple things that give meaning to our lives. They are as much about women, as about people, events and life-experiences, from the perspective of a working woman. Sensitive, analytic and empathetic in their approach and depiction of the nuances of human emotions, these depictions do not aim to judge people, rather project humanely, with justifiable narratives, the acceptance of the vagaries of human existences.

I have to mention here that this is actually my first baby, before my novel ‘Across Borders’, and I must also admit with much humility that I could not find a publisher for it yet. I was repeatedly told that a collection of short stories by a debut writer is commercially not viable. But I have received plenty of positive feedback for it from reputed publishers and senior journalists for the content and the writing, added to the stories being close to my heart. Thus I am not willing to give up my dream of seeing the book in print someday.
I will be very grateful if you will make time to read and leave your valuable comments, reviews and feedback. With sufficient positive feedback, I will get an opportunity to see this book in print.
So I humbly hand over my baby to you…and pray that you allow its entry into the world with your comments and support. Also please recommend and forward the link to friends.
