And thence, Transcendence it were, transcendence in its most consummate, most profound form, just the way he’d imagined, and transcendence to him was to be with her, to feel her, feel her presence yet again, to see her but once more, and behold the sight of her looking back at him.

Which book you wish you had written ?

Every book, every paragraph, every word, every punctuation in itself is an author’s original. It’d be naive to ever think - “I wish I’d written this book”.

Loads. For example - I’d write using only a pencil

Yet to discover

Be original folks.

Has it not been awhile since one read an Indian author sublime
and a story intriguing, capture your imagination which may the
way only a wizard may, or maybe an RK Narayan or Arundhati
Roy, or maybe some author of times vintage and days old, nay?
Time it is one read Author B R E N D O N.

“It’s but very recently that I took to writing as a full time
profession. My soul having been irreversibly assaulted by a
sinister rendezvous with destiny is what prompted me to lift the
quill. Writing, to me, is no longer an intricate passion, the way it
once used to be during my years of adolescence, but indeed, is
it but a variant of morphine, which keeps at bay the perennial &
excruciatingly incurable pain which flares up every-time I draw
an uncalled for breath. The way readers are taking to the book
is an experience humbling. Totally unexpected. Feels unreal the
book has garnered such positive reception. To write is a pleasure
while to be read is a treasure.” – Author B R E N D O N
