1) “Canvas Of Feelings” by Prateek Singh

(Poetry | Format: Paperback/Kindle | MRP: 150 INR)

Blurb: “Canvas of Feelings” is a poetry book in which unspoken, unheard, and suppressed emotions are inked which the Broken Souls try to utter but fail to mumble. The book follows the journey of an individual who is going through varied emotions in his life; from Heart-Break to Love; from Love to being Lost. As the person rides through varied waves of emotions, he finds his best friend – a pen, and from there he starts his journey, and pours the mumbles, the inner screams, and the saddened scenic view around him on the canvas. Come along and follow his journey from being broken to finding his voice, and getting lost in the way of finding the truth.



2) “Meghna” by Devika Das

(Hindi Contemporary Fiction | Format: Paperback/Kindle | MRP: 120 INR)

Blurb: Acting comes under the umbrella of performing arts. The actors perform on stage/ cinema to entertain the public, but the audience is unaware of their real life experiences. They idolize the actors and forget that they too have a human side. An actor's life may be diametrically opposite to the character played by him/her in a play/film – Reel life vs. real life. This story exhibits the emotional aspects of the real-life of an award-winning theatre artist, Meghna Sahay, through a retrospective narrative. The poems mentioned in this story are the original works of the author.

But her life changes after Aarav walks into it and sweeps her off her feet with his boyish charm and positive attitude. Walk along with these amazing characters along their joyful journey of self-discovery and self-worth.
