Unconditional Love in Exchange

Foreword

          The importance of hard-work can’t be over-emphasized. It’s imperative to diligently struggle to make our living. Along the way, we could face countless obstacles, some daunting, some trivial! What matters the most, is our courage in surmounting them and not giving up our cherished desire of a comfortable and meaningful existence.

          Sometimes we get more than what we bargained for; due to sheer luck or the blessing of destiny; at other times, we may even risk losing all that we have!

           Honesty and virtue ably support those who strive for success. In the end, we could do well to remember what the sacred Bhagavad Gita propagates;

          “Keep doing your duty, without expecting any rewards!”

           When we do accomplish our goals, we must be grateful towards those who wittingly or unwittingly helped us in reaching that zenith of success. This acknowledgement of gratitude will always hold us in good stead as it will prove that we have our soul in the right place!

          When we share our compassion and love with others in need; with a clear conscience and without any expectations, our Creator will lead us forth to our desired destiny.

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

It is often said that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Couples these days are a busy lot, working in different time zones, continents or worlds apart! Often, they meet virtually and celebrate important occasions together, online.

Daily communication means snatches of time, peppered with "Getting late." "See you soon." "Love you." "Hugs'n'kisses. Bye." The lack of physical presence soon starts taking a toll on both partners, who may be bored, exhausted, insecure or looking out for greener pastures, all the while pretending to be there for each other.

Soon, the 3 a.m. friend disappears! A casualty of a long-distance relationship!

Patience, perseverance, trust and loyalty go a long way in such cases where partners can't be together for varied reasons.

This novel deals with the complexity of human relationships and a long-distance relationship. Do follow Parikrama and Pranay's eventful journey and see how it goes....

Kindly consider purchase of a copy and peruse it at leisure! Your invaluable feedback is eagerly awaited, dear readers! Thanks in anticipation. Priya

MOTIVATION, MY STORY

Priya: The transformation of an avid reader into a renowned author

How Priya Swaminathan's eighth standard English teacher motivated her to start reading

Books have been my companions since childhood. My parents and teachers encouraged me to read as much as I could. Amar Chitra Katha comicsChandamama and Champak; soon gave way to Readers’ Digestmystery novels by Enid BlytonHardy Boys and Nancy Drew mystery novels; followed closely by the mushy and romantic, Mills & Boon novels. Later, classics by great littérateurs like Gurudev Rabindranath TagoreMunshi Premchand; the great Bard of AvonWilliam Shakespeare, and the philosophical novelist, Paulo Coelho; were devoured by me. Thrillers by Sidney SheldonAgatha ChristieDan BrownJohn GrishamRobin CookRoald Dahl; and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes series are my all-time favorites. Jeffrey Archer and his works have also played a key role in helping me develop a penchant for reading.  I am a proud bookworm!

What sparked off my passion for reading was, undoubtedly, a chance criticism by my eighth standard English teacher at school! She challenged me to write the answers in my own words, instead of relying on the usual rote learning method that was (and still is) so commonplace in the great Indian education system. Stung to the core, I started brushing up on my vocabulary and language skills by reading everything that I could lay my hands on! I filled up notebooks with as many words as I could. The dictionary became my constant companion. Thanks to my continuous learning, I gained confidence in writing essays, articles, poems and stories.

Priya Swaminathan, Author of 'The Mysterious Basement of Summer City'

After my BS, I obtained a Degree in Communication and Journalism from the Pune University. It was the best decision of my life. I have been freelancing from then till date. I have several published writings to my credit in reputed publications like Woman’s EraAlive, Sakaal Times, and many more. I contribute to prestigious travel-websites like Holidayiq.com and TripAdvisor.in. I maintain four blogs and have published nine ebooks and paperback novels on Amazon. I have won several writing competitions, including a novel-writing contest, organized by Vishwakarma Publications, Pune. I won the second prize for my debut novel titled The Mysterious Basement of Summer CityMy reading habit had spurred me to become an author!

I love reading books for information, inspiration, insight, motivation and entertainment. Conversing about bestsellers is a great ice-breaker at social events. Bonding over books, with friends and family, at leisure, is a pleasurable experience. To encourage budding talent, I conduct creative-writing classes too.

To sum up, I can’t imagine a life without books. My tryst with reading and writing is sure to be a life-long affair!

It was quite an inspirational story, Priya.
