BlueRose Publishers Presents 'Ankahi' by Suchi Shukla

WHO AM I?
This perennial question which has haunted mankind since times immemorial has intrigued me too. Not a day passes when I do not think about it. Born and brought up in a normal middle-class Brahmin family where both my parents were Government servants, I had a plethora of experiences and exposure to all kinds of worldly knowledge. Being eldest of all the three siblings, I was to be mature and responsible even when I was a child myself.
What it means to have a mother who is a teacher is an experience beyond words. The basic and forever loathed emotions of discipline, accountability and integrity flow and blow around you and you have no way out but to breathe them – sink in them. Not only that if you have a father who is morally upright even though he is a Central Government employee – you had it all. You grow up amongst people who are indifferent to their work and those who slog their way out behind piles and piles of work (courtesy indifferent people). One such man was my father- righteous and ready to sacrifice his pleasure for the comfort of others.
To add to this enchanting experience there were creative and ingenious ways my brother and sister. They never had enough money or stationery to cater to their needs, hence, the only solution was to demand help from me and if denied then steal! The easy way out! So I grew up to be a responsible (mildly dominating) twenty-one year old. Phew!

मैं ........
मैं ये भी हूँ और वो भी हूँ
सब कुछ हूँ और कुछ भी नहीं हूँ |

मैं अनंत अपरिमित विस्तृत आकाश हूँ
या एक नन्हे से दिल की सिमटी सी आस हूँ |

मैं अमावस की रात की गहरी काली स्याही हूँ
या फिर उषा की किरणों की सुनहरी लाली हूँ |

मैं रेगिस्तान में एक बूँद की मृगतृष्णा हूँ
राम की सीता तो राधा का मैं कृष्णा हूँ |

मैं अबोध बालक की निर्दोष मुस्कान हूँ
या हर नारी का गौरव और स्वाभिमान हूँ |

मैं कुरान की आयत और गीता का उपदेश हूँ
वसुधैव कुटुम्ब की भावना का समावेश हूँ |

मैं धुंधली सी शाम की मद्धिम सी कुहासा हूँ
या जीवन युद्ध में कभी न हारने वाली आशा हूँ |

मैं एक शब्द में सिमट जाने वाली कथा हूँ
या अनवरत – निरंतर चलने वाली गाथा हूँ |
मैं – मैं हूँ|

BlueRose Publishers Presents 'The Storm in the Silence' by Nikhlesh Mathur

The Storm in the Silence “Your medicine, which disappeared at City-cure, is in Dinshaw,” Aarti read the message repeatedly. She was overjoyed. She understood what he referred to.  “I am coming there immediately,” she called him on a cell phone. “No,” he replied, “If the police recognize you here then God forbid they might put him in some other hospital.” “Then what should she do?” She glanced at ward forty-two. The door was still closed. Aarti endures the storm in silence, she sustains the attacks on her with courage, she maneuvers her moves cleverly. She defies the odds. She also fires back without worrying about any blizzard which surrounds her. Her cries don’t pin her down; her tears don’t make her prosaic. She takes the charge in her own hands when she finds the world of men, including her loved ones, drawing battle lines for her.  But she refuses to throw down the gauntlet.  Like a warrior woman, she outclasses her adversaries with characteristic astuteness u...

BlueRose Publishers presents The Wheel of Creation by Rakhi Roy Halder

Science Never Clashes with Spirituality The Wheel of Creation is the English translation of the collected volume of Hindi poems “Srishti Chakra” written by Rakhi Roy Halder. Her students of Loreto college, Kolkata translated many poems of this book, under the guidance of the editor of the book Subhasree Basu, faculty of Loreto College. Man is an integral part of creation. His life is governed by the law of the universe. The human intellect categorizes things for the convenience of understanding. This categorization leads to a disintegrated view of creation. Science versus spirituality is one such example of disintegrated vision. As described by Swapna Behera—Educationist, Editor, and Bilingual Author, The Wheel of Creation is a rare combination of Science and Poetry. This collection of poems aims at expressing the roller coaster ride that is life and uniting the spiritual and scientific consciousness to reveal the magical power of energy flowing through the entire universe, which pla...

Iceman- A Blue Rose Release

According to Akshay Prakash, the author of  Ice Man: King of Himalayas , writing a book is really an interesting job because we need to deeply feel every character that we create especially in fiction stories. It increases our imagination and helps us to sense different personalities of the humans. He also felt it is a difficult job because firstly, we need to have patience to write the book and enhance the story. It takes a lot of time in every step; from storyline up to publishing, we need to research every part and situation of the story. His book is a science fiction based on the story about the superpowers which is filled with the action sequence. He says, “I enjoyed a lot while writing the novel and I am happy to say that I completed my story in just six days. I feel this is a beautiful story to read.” Visit Website:  https://authorakshayprakash.in/ Shop:  Amazon Flipkart   Shopclues Bluerose
