WORDS BEFORE READING
It has been long since two volumes of my collections of Poems had been published in 2012 and
2013 and for over a year I had just been thinking to write down something worthwhile. I had been
thinking about plots but could not conclude which one to write. One plot was just as good as the
other, as I assumed. The confusion continued, along with my physical disturbances, trifles at the
job place and domestic hurdles. I am still a bachelor but my mind is no longer a virgin. It has
already blossomed by the care and nurture of a sweet lady who occupies my heart and mind solely.
The confusion had continued so long that I finally decided to start my pen and then only give a
proper plot. I thought it would be easier for me to write spontaneously the thoughts coming to my
mind, so that as the thoughts will rift, the idea will start taking shape same as a potter shapes the
clay. So this short novella is neither a fiction nor a novel, nor a poem- it‟s obvious, nor a drama;
rather it is an expression of a running mind. I am not sure how much the readers will enjoy when
finally the work will get published!
