Fallen Leaf, Withered Wind ...and Love- by Saikat Baksi

                                                                     

Two threads of lives lay there coiled into a single entity flickering like an eternal flame. The clock ceased movement. Night froze in silence. Sindhu clasped Samsara with frantic desperation. She breathed his sweat, love and obsession.

“I shall not go away…” Samsara murmured with a feeble hint of smile.
Sindhu released her slowly and pleaded, “Please…don’t”.

“But should I not go back tonight?”
Sindhu fell silent and nodded like a subjugated infant, “Yes”.

“You know Sindhu…
my life is like a weed rooted on barren soil
anchored with mindless resolve.”

“I know,” replied Sindhu staring blankly into the space.
“Yet I am a human but not a weed.
Often I long to get lost…
lost in some faraway land at least for some time.”

Sindhu laughed,
“There is the mistake my dear.
If you know the way back, you are not lost.
Are you? If you are lost…
you can never get back.
So…it cannot be for some time…if at all…forever.”

GOD Does Not Play Dice- by David A. Shiang

Does God play dice with the universe? Do events happen by chance? Do we have free will? Was Einstein right in his assessment of quantum theory?

If you seek answers to such questions, you have come to the right place. In my groundbreaking book God Does Not Play Dice.

                                                                      

The final answers to such crucial questions can surely be achieved, and we can definitely go beyond the uncertainty and confusion that some scientists claim cannot be overcome.

• The final and only solution to the free will problem.
• Why Stephen Hawking is wrong when he says that there is `evidence` that God plays dice.
• The role of memory in solving the free will problem.
• The type of certainty that can be achieved.
• How past, present, and future are interrelated.
• Why key ideas presented by Richard Dawkins and John Allen Paulos are false.
• The reason why much of our worrying is misplaced and irrelevant.
• Why an important pillar of evolutionary theory is based on an incorrect assumption, making Darwinism `defunct`.

A River on Fire- by Jasvinder Sharma

                                                                      


This bouquet of short stories presents a true-to-life picture of the society before us. Instead of an imagined world, the storyteller through these stories offers a slice of life, a down-to-earth scenario in which the reader finds himself involved unknowingly.The writer having a good understanding of basic human feelings brings them out dexterously in these tales on divergent issues. These fine, tumultuous, powerful and heartfelt sagas are not just stories; these are experiences. Reading them, the reader does not remain solely an observer; he becomes a part of them. The stories open a world of fallacy, malice and maladjustment, and take him directly to it. This is the world that is already known to him, but he very often chooses to close his eyes to it. Brimming with unlikely and colourful characters, the tales offer a fine blend of irony and humanity, with some of them replete with heart-warming humour. The world of the storyteller has the fullness of human psyche, with its dreams, passions, awe and wonder. Despite the ambience of fantasy, hardcore realism, quandaries and predicament underline his stories.

Dancing on the Notes of Life- by KB Trehan

Dancing on the notes of life is a motivational semi-fiction about a character named Seth. It shows how he fights his way through the various hurdles that he comes across in life. He is not a superhuman or a divine creature, but just an ordinary human being like us, who has the courage to bid farewell to his hurtful past and move on.

Often while going through the aisles of our lives, we come across various hindrances we stumble upon. Some people remain where they are, brooding over their fall; while some make the brave effort to stand on their feet again and boldly cross the obstacles. It is the latter who emerge victorious at the end.

                                                                    

A smooth sea can never make a skilled mariner. In the hard times, we learn the vital lessons of life. The key lies in accepting each day in life as it comes. Remember, it is in darkness alone that we get to see the stars!

Sweet are the uses of adversity,
which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
wears yet a precious jewel in his head…
— William Shakespeare (As You Like It)

Vinculum is a simple, heartwarming tale of five adolescents from different backgrounds thrown together in an environment as fascinating as a medical college, in a locale as romantic as Shimla.
