Neha's Quest - Free Download Promotion

 Dear friends,

                         Here's some good news! My 18th novel is ready for release. I have released a booklet with 2 chapters at www.amazon.com and all its other marketplaces. 

                         Do download a free copy as I am running a Free Download Promotion of this booklet on 30th November, 2020.

Neha's Quest (Life's Topsy-turvy!)

          Much as we like to call ourselves progressive and our society civilized, often we deviate from the rightful path to indulge in wrongful or immoral activities, to satiate our greed and lust. To feel alive!

          We also have double standards wherein we treat men and women differently and expect women, the so-called weaker-sex, to conform to societal mores, without a murmur. Of course, we frown when anyone terms it hypocrisy! This is our culture; we say with self-righteous pride and revel in it.

          Woe betides any woman who dares to stray off the beaten path! The path carved out for her by society, on which she must walk demurely, looking straight ahead without a side-ward glance! Following all the stringent rules to a T!

          And lo behold! Every once in a while, comes along a gutsy girl like Neha who breaks every rule in the book to follow her own path in life, braving the storms with grit and gumption.

          A breath of fresh air or a tempest? Who are we to judge her? She doesn’t need our judgment!

          Why not just let every girl follow her heart and carve a niche for herself? See how far she goes in the journey of life? Is it too much to ask for?

 **********************

          Kindly note that I have uploaded only two chapters of this novel. Based on the number of downloads (Go for it, folks!) I will upload the entire novel. Your opinions do matter! So let the reviews start flowing... Also let me know whether Neha excites you enough to want to know more about her life and its ups and downs!

         Ready, steady, go!

Finished the book "The Trophy Wife" and couldn't stop myself to appreciate it. Book is written well and narrated exactly with the feeling. Reader can stay connected to the story. Congratulations to the writer Mrs Priya Swaminathan Ma'am for this awesome book.

                         ******************************

                                                      Excerpt from the book:

         He winked at her. She was looking delectable, in a mauve satin gown with a matching floor-length overcoat. Her prized purchase of that evening’s frenzied shopping spree. She had chosen lovely clothes and accessories for herself, and yes, make up and perfume too! He had drawn the line when she had wanted to purchase a horribly expensive pair of shoes for him. “I already own 20 pairs, thank you!” he had said firmly.

          Had he opted inadvertently for a ‘high-maintenance’ wife? He would keep his fingers tightly crossed! And a tighter tab on his credit card!

          

          Now, he looked divine in his sky-blue, silk pajama suit. Tanned muscles rippled against the soft fabric. The dropped collar of his top was opened tantalizingly to reveal curly, dark hair covering a heaving chest. She could feel the sensual vibrations bouncing off her, as if both of them stood in between an intensely charged magnetic field.

          

          He suddenly pulled her into his embrace and soundly kissed her, as she drawled softly, “Now be a good boy, darling and hop on to that couch, before all hell breaks loose!”

          

          “Hell or Heaven?” he asked with an amused smirk, his eyes devouring her sinuous curves; and his hands, on the small of her back.         

          

          “Well, we can decide on that later!” she said coquettishly. Both of them laughed heartily.

                                                            End of excerpt

Rangoli
My unique design which is included in the rangoli book 'Priyadarshini' published by me.

Rangoli
I sat down to make a rangoli one day and this design just took shape, on its own!

Floral rangoli
Just before pruning the periwinkle shrubs I picked all the flowers and leaves to make this design.

Hope Lord Ganesha blesses all of us with abundant peace, prosperity, health, wealth, contentment and removes all obstacles from our paths! Also hope that He vanquishes the Corona virus and relieves all of us from this pandemic soon!

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial

                                    An impressive ode to the Iron Man of India!

     The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial, an imposing and elegant building (an erstwhile palace), is dedicated to a splendid display of artifacts related to the life and times of the great leader who was responsible for the merger and integration of the Princely states in India into the Union of India, after India’s independence. 

     Moti Shahi Mahal, as this palace was initially named, was built by Emperor Shahjahan between 1618 and 1622. The museum has photographs, writings and other memorabilia of the leader, displayed neatly. Two multimedia halls with interactive exhibits are the highlights here but for lack of time, we couldn’t enjoy them fully.

     A small entry fee is charged to enter the Memorial.
     

     A basement gallery has amazing portraits of all the great leaders of India.

     Just outside the building are statues of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, seemingly engaged in conversation! An endearing moment beautifully and deftly captured by the sculptor!

     The toilet block was clean but the latch of the toilet I entered, was faulty.

     The Memorial’s complex has a small privately managed cafeteria which had lots of items on its menu but could serve us only some vegetable sandwiches after a lot of time! The chutney was very pungent so I could barely manage one of those sandwiches and gobbled some biscuits to curb my hunger pangs.
