I am delighted to share this info with you. My new book – Beyond the Fetters (A Novel) will be released on October 1, 2025.
It is available for pre-order.
This is an ambitious project, dear to my heart as I’ve been working on it for almost seven years.
Book Blurb:
Some babies are born with invisible fetters. They may strut about in their homes with wishes of flying high, but their wings never grow, and if they do, they are clipped by the diktats of traditions. Such stories remain within the hearts of girls, as their lips are sealed by cultural compulsions.
Earthy is one such girl, but her determination to break free could never be vanquished. She yearns to grow up again, to feel the sunshine that filters through the arms of her parents, to soak in the showers of harmony, to giggle with abandon and swirl with her dreams.
The sudden, untimely demise of her father rips her whole world apart, and the little joys of childhood vanish. From emotional deluge to resilience and detachment, she treads the paths of her life, struggling to rise above the average.
Dolly’s freedom takes her away from her family, and her choices boomerang. Imperceptible fetters follow her in the garb of love that she chooses. Should we pay attention to Grandma’s wise words – “We are tied to our destiny?” ‘Beyond the Fetters’ explores the possibilities of girls looking beyond their so-called destiny.
I look forward to the support of all my readers and buddies. Thank you.

Fantastic, Balroop!! This sounds like a compelling story!
Thanks for such kind words, Jan. 🤗
Oh wow, what a blurb! It already feels less like fiction and more like a mirror to so many untold stories around us. The way Earthy’s journey is described between invisible fetters, resilience, and the raw ache of losing her father pulls straight at the heart.
Can’t wait to see how Dolly’s choices unfold and what truths about freedom, love, and tradition the book brings out. This feels like the kind of read that lingers in you long after the last page. ✨
Definitely adding it to my list.
Thank you so much for reading the blurb and trying to understand the story behind Beyond the Fetters. Anybody who dares to cut those clutches faces the consequences and wait to see them! I am glad you are adding this book to your list. I’m sure you’ll like it.

Congratulations on the novel, Balroop. Thanks for sharing a bit about it. This sounds like an inspiring read. Really like how you said this, ‘their lips are sealed by cultural compulsions.’ Where we come from and our culture can be so important to us, but other times it may be something we need to redefine what it means to us. Looking forward to reading. Hope you are doing well 🙂
Thanks for your wishes, Mabel. We may resent the cultural compulsions in the beginning but they get so embedded in us that it becomes difficult to shake them off. I hope you take out some time to read this book.
Sometimes it takes a long time for us to recognise and redefine such cultural compulsions. Looking forward to reading your book and other writings 😊
