Writers Asylum...

Well, here is another link of my Haiku series that are approved by the editor and published on Writers Asylum.


I am almost half-way to complete my submission for Authors United Love Anthology Project. I am done with 815 words and few more to go. I am not a writer who can really write a love story BUT my perception has changed after I read my own story. I do not believe in a theme like 'Love' but that is the challenge. But I am shocked to read m own story <3

From Tuesday I will starting my independent project. I am reading biography of Steve Jobs and Mahatma Gandhi as well. I will start with preface that will be around my first meeting. I am also collecting all the articles for the future chapters. It will be a lot of work for sure :)

Wishing all my readers a very Happy Weekend!

Cheers!

Keep Dreaming...I am sure dreams surely comes true..................<3

My New Book Project - Venkatesh Yethiraj!!

Dear Readers/Friends –

Wait is OVER! Countdown ENDS!





I take all the pride to share the subject of my book. Let me introduce honourable Venkatesh Yethiraj – the man behind my new book project. A man who has bagged 54 medals in arena of paraplegic (Gold – 34, Silver -9, Bronze – 11). He is my inspiration for writing a book on journey of his life. I am very selective when it comes to my books or short story contest themes. I believe there is a second of inspiration in every minute of life. My books are written with a thought – ‘if a line of my work can inspire a person for ten minutes – my job as an author/writer is done!’ I have always written for people and my stories have been inspired by their lives. You have read articles around his achievements and awards but I will present a book to read his extraordinary journey in all these 44 years.  It is an honour to write about him; I select his journey of life as my book as it is a true story of inspiration. Tough job for my editor as well! Thanks to all those who have read me so far. It is a long project of more than a yearJ. You will hear about it around the end of 2015.

Maa....

I just completed writing my poem for my inspirational column - FG. This is about mother and will be published around 'mother's day'. I believe one does not have to deliver a baby to write a poem about motherhood. The feelings of a woman can make her write about it.
 
I cited the poem to my mother few minutes ago. She loved it. I am sure - my readers will also like it. Last minute few edits are pending and then it is all set to be mailed.
 
Until mother's day, my profile picture will be with my darling daughter Sanjana. From now till mother's day, I am just her mom <3. Oops, I am loving it.................!!!!
 
Cheers <3
