#NewRelease: Beyond the Fetters

I am delighted to share this info with you. My new book – Beyond the Fetters (A Novel) will be released on October 1, 2025.

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.

Truth?

Shadows sway near them, blurring boundaries 
Moments of betrayal bleed,
foggy windows don’t lie.

In a trance, I watch how flimsy is trust 
how relationships wither
on obscure paths of love.

The definition of deceit is vague,
clouded by lies of judgment
truth holds various hues!

Your truth crouches behind the man you chose
My truth is so translucent 
Yet it is soaked in blood.

hazy sky echoes
songs of our favorite haunt
silent love saunters
remnants evoke sighing sounds
muffled in the hues of time.

hushed by static time
tea cups whisper our secrets
a long list of vows
only clouds could understand
the fury of our passion.

Magical Wings

trapped by boundaries
I watch from the window panes
waiting for a while,
a mild moment of respite
can anyone curb my dreams?

***

my magical wings
flutter despite the wild storms
don’t dare to touch them
they emit embers unseen,
unimaginable gift!

teary-eyed clouds burst
wind rides on the wings of nymphs
rain-drops dance with glee.

we soothe the parched earth
the sand rises up to greet us
a fleeting embrace.
