262:88; On Best Friends


As the wind caresses my features...
My mind rides with them,
In just blink, one jumps to another...
Yet, never fail in returning to its nature.


The mist is cleared...
Revealing the scene,
It might not be what my mind had painted...
But is beautiful, in its way...


Being a part of the story is an honour...
The role is not as important anymore,
As its significance varies...
For each role is unique.


Best friend, is who I am,
Placed above friends,
It is an honour for such a title,
I am glad.


Dear, as you gave me the title...
I vow to you that I'm always able,
Just come to me...
Though in my eyes, you are more...

The Remix of Orchid by A.N. Nanda(click)


It is my first time receiving an autographed book or rather my first autographed item. What is it? Obviously the book entitled The Remix of Orchid by A.N. Nanda, a writer from India who is very passionate about his work and gladly shares his work with people around the globe. This explains his generosity by delivering his book all the way from India to me, bearing all the cost of delivery himself. As I call him by the title uncle, it shows my respect for him as a writer and a friend in writing, though I am way far behind from where he stands.


The Remix of Orchid is a collection of short stories closely related to the Andamans. One thing that I really like about his stories is that they are not merely fictional as we can relate the stories with our daily life. It is something that we went, going or have seen others going through.


His stories not only make its reader, in this case - myself, pause and take a moment of thought for my life but it feeds the hunger for a good read.


A book that winds the mind of its reader and drive them to reflection is what I call, 'The Power'. How often do you get something short yet leaves a deep feeling in your heart? Quite few to be frank. Yet in this book, you get many shorts with the compliment of deep impactS. What else could you call this but 'The Golden Power'?


Now, this is why I call him Uncle Nanda.


May your book reach out to more and the blessing of writing continue to be with you. This one is for you Uncle Nanda!
