An Excerpt from the Short Story - A New Battle

         When Ananya resumed her place on the bed, propped up comfortably against the soft cushions, with her laptop on her lap, he glanced at her with a ‘daggers-drawn’ look, as she chatted online, with soft smile lighting up her face.  Gautam took the luxury of slowly appraising her.  It had been ages since he had seen her properly.  She was more of a ‘voice’ to him, a sweet voice which had been relegated to the background like a melodious strain playing on the music system of his life.  Yes, his life had been like a harmonious symphony, with no jarring notes interrupting the smooth rhythm of his existence. 

          Now he suddenly realized, uncomfortably, that this sweet voice had a face too!  The same face that had bewitched him 14 years ago now swam into his line of vision with reinforced clarity.  He had forgotten how beautiful she looked.  Now, even in her bed-clothes, with freshly brushed hair, softly framing her oblong face and cascading all around her, her slightly lined and pock-marked face, scrubbed clean and sparkling with good health and radiant smile which showed off her high cheekbones; she looked happy and relaxed.

This book has the story titled "The Baby-doll" which helped me get the "Writers' Award Certificate" from www.penfactor.com.

My student Vijay, posing with my book!

When it becomes a conundrum in life, to choose between two difficult or equally tempting choices, one is in a quandary! Life’s always gleefully throwing up such situations. One must pick and choose with utmost care, to avoid getting one’s fingers burnt. Sometimes one gets the right end of the stick too! Just when he’s congratulating himself and patting his own back, life may deal a vicious blow and he is left holding the wrong end, wondering what went wrong! At other times, the fine line between right and wrong is so blurred that one can’t make the correct choice. What happens then?
Read these delightful stories to find out….

An Excerpt

             “Today, Sneha will dance with me,” said Gaurav cheekily, already taking her hand and readying for the dance. Helplessly, she darted an anxious glance towards Abhijeet. But being in a very good mood, he waved his hand good-naturedly and urged her to go along with Gaurav and enjoy herself. 

             As Gaurav talked with her knowledgeably about varied topics, Sneha found herself relaxing in his company. So he was not that introvert, after all, she thought. But after a while, her eyes sought Abhijeet. If only Gaurav would allow her to dance with Abhijeet now! He had been monopolising her, the entire evening. She hadn’t even congratulated Abhijeet properly.

A Unique Sun Temple in Modhera, Gujarat!

Modhera’s Sun Temple – Brilliant Architecture!

Feb 2020

 

We hired an auto to travel 105 kms. from Ahmedabad to Mehsana (Modhera). This superb Sun Temple was built in the 11th century A.D. by the Solanki King Bhimdev I. It has a rectangular step-well/tank in the front, known as Rama Kund, which has impeccable geometric design. A wooden railing has been erected around the step-well to protect people from unwittingly falling into the tank.There is a Sabha Mandap, a connecting passage known as Antaraal and the Garbhagruha or the sanctum sanctorum. The walls, pillars, columns and exteriors of the Sabha Mandap and the Garbhagruha are heavily carved with intricate life forms of deities, celestial beings and animals. Twin pillars, again meticulously carved, stand guard in front of the temple. The shikhara of the temple had been destroyed during a Mughal invasion. The Sun Temple, like the one at Konarak, doesn’t have any idol in its sanctum sanctorum which is closed. Legend has it that while returning from Sri Lanka, along with his wife Sita, Lord Rama performed a yagna at this site, to cleanse himself of his sin of killing a Brahmin – Ravana, a devout Shaivite. Since this ritual was performed by a Modh Brahmin, the site/village was named as Modhera. Lord Shiva’s temple stands beside the Sun Temple. Fresh flowers bedecked the Shivaling. A museum with unique specimens of carving, provides us an insight into our rich cultural/architectural heritage. A toilet block stands behind this museum.Tourist buses are needed to visit this unique spot.

Competition is a great motivator. What cannot be achieved by hard-work can be achieved by competition! What happens when the competing rivals are siblings? Is heart-break inevitable or can a golden mean be found? Our families mean a lot to us. We strive for fulfilling all the wishes of each of our dear ones and often sacrifice a lot in the bargain. What happens when the idyllic lives of siblings are threatened by temptation? Guilt is the prerogative of only those with a conscience. The others breeze through their lives without a care in the world! What happens when the guilt-conscience is awakened? The Internet is a double-edged sword. It has its pros and cons. What happens when social media becomes a tool for messing up a gullible user’s life? Often, it so happens that two guys end up loving the same girl! What happens when these two guys are not only best friends, but identical twins? Does blood prove to be thicker than water? Read this engrossing collection of stories to find out the answers!

While you are at it, do consider purchasing and reading my other 24 books at Amazon too.
