Pankaj | 6 comments Hi,

I am Pankaj Varma and I have just published my first novel 'Silver Haze' last month, which is based on the story of my mother. Diagnosed with dementia and possible Alzheimer’s, she faces the prospect of a steady decline in her mental functions. She starts writing down her story, writing down everything she knows while she still remembers it so that she can read it back when dementia makes her forget it all. Her story has been re-written to present this touching narrative. This fascinating and intriguing story spans a major part of the 20th century in North India and depicts the hurdles faced by an educated girl before and after marriage. It gives an unusual insight into India-that-was, reflecting the social mores of that time.
Some excerpts from early reviews on Amazon are:

"It is a book written straight from the heart. Kamala is a girl who was educated and could think for herself, but the social structure of the times made her fall in line with what was expected of her. Her will, her desire, her thinking was all lost in her willingness to adjust with her circumstances. She is the quintessential Indian woman who was growing up in a country which was still trying to get liberated not only politically but also socially." - Varsha Uke Nagpal

"Silver Haze,written by Pankaj Varma is one of the really noteworthy additions to English Literature which I have read in many years. Basing his story on recollections of the past by his mother, who is diagnosed with Alzhiemers Disease, and is losing her memory by and by, Pankaj has delved into her notebook and his own memory of what she told about her life, and has produced a masterpiece – this book exemplifies the most intense definition of literature viz “It is a Mirror of the Times”. While reading it the reader will shift into a time warp taking him or her back to the days long gone; the lost ethics; the way girls were kept by the parents and literally had no say in their marriages or future; the strict rules by which the house was run; the rebels amongst the younger generation vainly striving to make a difference to the world, yet with perspectives far removed from the actual conditions prevailing in pre and post partition of the Indian subcontinent. Oh what can one write about such a beautifully written book? I have no words to express how delighted I am by this classic and have no hesitation in describing it as one of the best works of fictionalised real life of the decade. I strongly recommend this book to every one and award it a well deserved 5 Star, which I am sure will be only amongst the first of many more!" - Deepak Menon (Author)[...] Dehradun, India
