“A Bowl of Soul Curry” is a collection of stories and
poems written by me over a decade. My characters are flawed, imperfect, and fully
human. You will find my prose pieces and poetic work relatable, close to home, alive
and happy. Story after story, you will realise how moments, encounters, ends and
beginnings, accidents and struggles, departures and homecomings, life and death,
actions, twists, love, fate, relationships, hatred, push my characters out of their
predicted path and how they take an entirely new journey. My curries will bring you
joy, tears, and make you experience a plethora of emotions all packed in one book. It
was a delight for me to write, and it will surely be one for you to read.
The magic of words is my aspiration as a storyteller and
poet. I can make words fly. It is about connection. Good writing and reading make
hours pass like minutes, comfort the grieving, and push in endless directions of
opportunity. All around us, there is beauty in words that are accessible life-lines
and pathways for a greater life. Through my words, I want the power of words to
inspire and elevate you. Write your own verses, paragraphs, and stanzas. Connect
on a deeper level and make your own magic.

Just imagine a writer and a publication clashing over artistic vision, commercial purpose, and the true meaning of success.
As deadlines loom, both are forced to confront their own insecurities and aspirations. Ink Play explores the sacrifices made along the way in completing the book, which displays the enduring power of the written word.
These 30 days and 30 prompts take you on a journey that highlights the magic and madness of the literary world, where every written word has the potential to ignite change and challenge the status quo.
Why is the book special?
This book contains a collection of stories that span 30 prompts over 30 days of hard work on intricate subjects such as beauty, identity, and nature. Here the Author uses the phrase so well known, the core concept and thought of John Keats blending it in her own comfort zone, slightly improving the structure, with the addition of an indifferent concept very well wrought to tease the readers and describing her own thoughts producing stories with such care that it ultimately takes the form of a beautiful book challenging to rule the heart of the readers fighting with the publication to achieve the potential of what is known as INK PLAY.
INK PLAY is a thing of beauty; a book which extends gratitude towards the publication for giving the Author an opportunity to be the benefactor of the 30 Days, 30 Prompts project, stressing the fact that writing a book is not a joke but a dream come true. The effort behind the book, which is a product of hard work and engagement, resonates with everybody as much as it does with the writer and invites readers to explore the world of creativity.
