The Oasis and Other Short Stories By ANJANA RAVINDRANATH

Exploring a Gamut of Human Relationships

Meeting and interacting people from different walks of life in a career in industries like journalism, hospitality and education gave Anjana Ravindranath umpteen opportunities to study humans and relationships and get inspired by their life stories. Just like any emotion needs a vent at some time or the other, these interactions and life stories too gave food for thought and came out in the form of short stories. 

The Oasis & Other Short Stories explores the happiness, the surprise, the bewilderment and a whole plethora of emotions with LOVE as the fulcrum of all human relationships. Each relationship is determined by the factors independent of and peculiar to circumstances. In each of the stories in this book, be it romantic, comedy, tragedy or spiritual, love is the most important and most realistic backdrop. The book tries to say that finding Love is almost like finding an OASIS in a vast desert.   

“I don’t claim to know the exact definition of love...I am not that competent. But just imagine you are alone in the ocean with nothing to look forward to. And then, a great whale slowly rises up beside you for no reason, escorts you for a little while until you see your destination, and then gently dives back into the deep ocean, its tail gently caressing you as it disappears. Is that love? Well, maybe!” says Anjana.

About the book, Anjana says that she has tried to bring forward that relationships can cover a wide range of groups of people, friends, lovers and acquaintances (and virtual friends also). Making a relationship work, be it at home with family, at work with colleagues, in a group of friends or between two lovers is a task which requires not only comprehension of the entity other than oneself, but also revealing the ideas and images that run through one’s subconscious, that can put anyone on the fast track to understanding what's behind the excitement, fear and other emotions that one may be experiencing in day-to-day life. It just might give everyone concerned, a case of the giggles, or moistened eyes.

Anjana says, “I have tried hard to bring life into all the relationships shared by all the characters in the book. Reading The Oasis & Other Short Stories strives to bring a feel-good effect for all those who enjoy reading fiction, and hopes to have you asking for more... like the 15th story’s title... Until We Meet Again”

Love Story Of A Soldier By Anurag Yadav

Pride of the Nation As our ears hear the word ‘soldier’, our mind creates a picture of a person dressed in the uniform with a gun in his hands and head wrapped in a shroud. Different people have different opinions and views regarding the life of soldiers. People say being soldier is a profession. Some people even say that soldiers are born to die but here I’m totally against those people. They are not born to die; however, they are dying for those people who are saying such words. The sacrifice of their life for the nation and its people is more than enough to state that being soldier is not a profession but it’s an attitude and way of living life with gratitude. Present scenario of international borders reveals that the soldiers are the only people which are saving us from the international threats. They fought and get wounded but still wear every wound with a smile on their faces. Their marvellous job deserves respect for them. Everyone should feel pride and their heart shoul
