 FOREWORD OF THE NOVEL

 
Despite all the progress made by mankind, the odds are always heavily stacked against women who want to rise above their trying circumstances and make a mark in this world.
It’s a man’s world. Haven’t we all heard of this phrase?
Tiresome, annoying, burdensome…
So what happens when a feisty lady sets out to prove her worth? Defying age-old norms, in a no-holds barred struggle for power and pelf, when she aims to win and prove that it is also a woman’s world, will she gain support from any quarter? Does she make the right moves?
Dive into Manini Kamath’s troubled and enigmatic world and immerse in her experiences…
What will you gain?
Insight, motivation, perspective, thrill and awe!
Because when Manini leads, one must follow! There is no other way.
It’s her way or no way.

Excerpt 

          Tarun was soon questioning Shridhar Vyas at his home.

          “Sir, a strand of your hair was found in Tina’s bathroom. Its DNA matches that of yours! What was it doing there?”

          The suave Shridhar Vyas appeared flummoxed. But the shrewd person that he was, he kept his eyes from blinking and looked at Tarun squarely in the eye.

          “I beg your pardon!”

          “You heard it right! Your hair was found at the scene of the crime. What were you doing there? When did you go there? Was Tina alive then? Was Colonel Manavendra there too? Do you know anything about Tina’s murder and the whereabouts of the Colonel?

          “No. I don’t know anything about what you are asking. I didn’t go there ever!”

          “The DNA evidence says so!” Tarun quietly pointed it out.

          “Then prove it! Don’t waste my time.”

          “You are under arrest Mr. Shridhar Vyas!” Tarun showed him his arrest warrant, with a flourish.

          Shridhar Vyas mutely accompanied him to the police jeep, with two constables holding each arm of his. All that Shridhar could think then was that his fate was sealed.

         At the lock-up, the inquisition began in right earnest. Tarun was all business!

         “So now you will speak Mr. Vyas, right?”

An excerpt
“So what shall we order? Punjabi or Chinese?” She looked coyly at him, blinking quickly to give him the appropriate ‘come-hither’ look.

“We’ll order for parathas or rotis with a Punjabi paneer curry, if you don’t mind”, he said even as she turned up her small nose. She looked rather cute as she did that, noted Himesh.

“I’ll have Veg. Schezwan rice and noodles please. Firstly, let’s have some hot soup!”

Without waiting for him to agree, she gestured to the bearer who rushed to their table, eager to note down their order.

“One tomato soup shared in 2 bowls, please”, she ordered crisply.

Himesh wryly thought about how he was in hot soup, right then. He dreaded the inevitable confrontation with her later that night. He wondered about how to foist her off. But he needn’t worry unnecessarily, he remembered. He had bribed the bearer to add some extra chilly powder in her food. That would definitely keep her busy throughout the night!

“Why are you grinning like a Cheshire cat?” she asked, as she saw him beaming involuntarily from ear to ear at the thought of her discomfiture later at night, just as she came on to him!

Shadows in the Dark Paperback – Large Print, July 1, 2021


Paperback

Excerpt

                                   As if on cue, Himesh signalled a boatman who had been impatiently looking at them all the while, hoping for passengers.  As the boat touched the lowermost step of the ghat, Mira and Himesh raced down and hopped into the narrow canoe. Both were as excited as small children. When the boatman started laboriously rowing away from the shore, both revelled in the scenery around them. 

                                   Fascinated, they observed the ancient Mahakaleshwar temple slowly receding from sight, along with the ghats. Once in the middle of the river, they looked appreciatively at the hills and greenery all around them. The vast blue sky was reflected in the equally vast expanse of calm and clear water. The peaceful silence was overpowering. They too were under its spell, as they gazed alternately at the scenery and at each other. Only the rhythmic noise of the oars against the water, the slight puffing of the burly boatman and their heartbeats broke the spell.

                                     Himesh looked at Mira, devouring her trim figure clad in a long tribal-print skirt and plain white blouse, with her long and straight black hair pulled into a high ponytail that enhanced her high forehead and delicate cheekbones. Her no makeup look suited her. Her dark eyes now had a dreamy, far-away look. He felt like kissing her, but the grim boatman deterred him.

                                    Mira had also looked longingly at Himesh, appreciating his casual yet chic dressing style. He looked gorgeous in his navy blue jeans, sky-blue T-shirt and grey sneakers. As the breeze ruffled his thick hair, she longed to run her fingers through his hair too! But one look at the inscrutable boatman gave her jitters.

                                   Suddenly Himesh’s funny-bone peaked up. “Hey look, a crocodile!”

          She broke hearts everywhere she went. Left, right and centre! Throughout high school and college, young lads had been smitten by her. Though not beautiful in the conventional sense, she had some oomph and lots of style.

          A smooth-complexioned, fair face, with small and sparkling eyes, round cheeks, lustrous black, shoulder-length hair and a slim figure was what attracted the guys to Neha, at first sight. But as they would get to know her better and interact with her, they would progressively be drawn into her charming web of love. She knew how to lead them on.

           A glib talker, she would coax them in the smoothest of tones to do her bidding and they would unquestioningly do it
