An Improbable Life Book Iv


Book Description

Unlike the previous books of the series “FRASAR – An Improbable Life”, Book IV doesn’t have a Prologue describing a series of episodes, taking place around the year 2010. You will find instead the same episodes in Book IV, only this time in their correct chronological order. We should start however from the beginning: who is really Francis, the protagonist of the whole series? Francis is a person who has really existed and is still very active and not an imaginary personage out of a writer's creative mind. All the episodes described in the books actually took place on the dates given and, apart from a few characters whose names were changed or removed for reasons of privacy reasons, all characters are real people.




The Sun Does Shine


Book Description

"A powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit"--




REED GRASS


Book Description

REED GRASS is an account of a young destitute boy, born in a small village in British India. In an engaging and powerful narration, the author walks you through bridle-paths of farmland, narrow lanes of villages, country markets of peasants and into the life of village folk ridden with deprivation, grief and joy. He leads you through towns and cities, casting a lingering spell, as the young boy grows into a man, braving the drudgeries of his life. He experiences the travails of independence, heat of the Partition of India, and grows old, pursuing his aspirations only to discover that the erosion of human values and decay in mutual relationships, over time, has gripped the nation. It touches a new low in his own family of four sons and two daughters. Reed Grass, a deeply moving saga of a Muslim family peopled with unforgettable characters, set in pre and post independent India will linger with you long after you have turned the last page.

Blooming Twigs


Book Description

Blooming Twigs' is a tribute to nature with a handful of poems based on author’s impressions of its varied aspects. Nature to her is not a mute, insensate thing, but a living entity, endowed with unique attributes of beauty and wisdom. Hence, worthy of reverence and adoration. Sharing her love of nature with readers is the purpose of this collection, though only through a small number of poems. Going through them will make the reader feel like taking a pleasant trip to the wondrous world of nature. Besides, readers will also experience the cyclic round of seasons, the deadly winter chill being followed by the rejuvenating Spring; and the blazing summer, ending in cool showers of the rainy season. From a larger perspective, readers will see the endless sky, adorned with the celestial lights of the sun, the moon, and stars in multitudes, sending their positive vibes to the earth, which nature disburses among us all, without discrimination. It goes without saying, that nature is an indispensable part of our existence right from the cradle to the grave. Her love, support, guidance and inspiration help us survive and flourish in life. We owe immense gratitude to her, and these verses are only a humble offering to her as a token of gratitude.
