Title: Titir and other tales
Description: Here I am, the author of the book. I had been in hiding since I thought the editors and publishers of the book did a shoddy job. But now I plan to reprint the book after I personally do the editing. There are two sections in the book --- three short stories in the first section and a sort of a biography in the second. The stories are very close to my heart and almost reflects my own emotions at some point of my life or the other. The stories are less of drama and more of realizations. Titir is a story of a young girl going for an excursion with a group of friends and finding how the magnitude of the power of nature aids her to mend her broken heart. 'A Thousand Light Years' is about a young reporter stationed at a small town, who realizes how her gigantic wait for her love to come back to her becomes insignificant at the enormity of her present. 'Cataclysm' is a love story between a woman in her early 30s and a boy in his teens, that has no ending. The second part of the book is essentially my journey as a journalist, how I haloed the profession in the beginning, thinking it to be the only tool to change the society and then, finding the worms and parasites existing in it, realizing how unimportant it is before giving it up.
