Another moment when the TIME stood still

By


Previously I had shared my experience of writing for this nation wide contest held by Half Baked Beans here. Today when the book has released, it is giving me jitters as I type this. Jitters because this was the first ever contest I participated in and the first short story ever that I wrote , with the help of a wonderful mentor like Harsh Agrawal.It has been enthralling experience working with all these authors as a team having all the support from Harsh and ofcourse Mr.Chetan Soni of Half Baked Beans.

It is definitely a moment for me when TIME stood still as I held this book in my hands and pinched myself to believe it to be true.

You can buy the book HERE

P.S: Do let me know your feedback on my story The Filch featured therein! Eagerly waiting....

  Namrata talks about  Anuja Chandramouli’s  latest book,  Mohini: The Enchantress  ( August, 2020) calling it an attempt to paint a fresh image of Mohini in the reader’s mind . “Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection made possible. Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive tantalizing temptress, traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.” Anuja Chandramouli Anuja Chandramouli’s Mohini is a beautiful ode to the Goddess of Beauty and Fertility. Considered to be the only female avatar of Vishnu, created by Vishnu and Shakti, this book traces her life through sands of time. As an author Anuja Chandramouli has been known to explore lesser known aspects of different mythological character

  Namrata explores Kabul through Taran N Khan’s Shadow City which according to her isn’t just about a city . Stories in Kabul begin with the phrase ‘ Yeki bood, yeki na bood .’ There was one, there was no one.
