Illume, Ashes and The Wind
I am pleased to introduce my recently finished fiction novel, "Illume, Ashes and The Wind", of 80,000 words. Click here to buy. Now available on Amazon: Click to Buy(Illume)
In summary: ILLUME is Almighty’s greatest creation and the ancient name of Earth. It combines an immersive world with early Vedic Gods and humans with fast-paced writing, a distinctive map, and a diverse cast of characters. It tells a story of Illume shaping the world's ancient human civilizations, beliefs and religion (early-Vedic times). It includes myths that are mostly not covered and presents folklores with a twist.
Though witnessing the illustrious reign of the Manus(Surya and Indra) and the Agasthyas, Illume remains in anarchy.
​
The Pragyas of Pragyasth, Sahasyas of Sahasyasth, and Aikyas of Aikyasth were created by the Almighty's children(Ancient Gods). But their inter-race rivalries wreak havoc. Things become grim when Danav, the God of all evils, emerges from Almighty’s wrath before the Gods abandon Illume. For thousands of years, his army remained trapped in the evil land of Pathala and surrounded by their mother Danu.
But all was going to change! Aryan Manu, the chosen bearer of The Golden Sword and the rightful heir to the Pragyam throne, escapes slavery from the Sahasyas, who rule Illume through ruthless domination. Mentored by the wise Ved Vidhyesh, he must accept his despised ancestry and travel a turbulent journey of betrayals, wars and hate to liberate the ancient cities and find unexpected friends. On the other hand, the young Avik Agasthya Aikyam, an Aikyam with equally lustrous ancestry, journeys through a mystifying forest to claim the legendary armour from the Vanars. But his revolution to change Aikyasth spirals out of control with blind determination shrouding his conviction. Illume is a world ready to reward and punish them for the smallest of mistakes, and it is a world that forces all their relationships to shatter.
​
Aryan and Avik endeavour parallelly for unique but distinctive causes. How would history take their unique encounter? And can the legendary armour and sword, mysterious tribes, ancient creatures, and mythical books save Illume? Especially when in desperation, the ruthless Sahasyas have unleashed a dark power. The dangers were never greater as Danav has risen again!

On a Drive with Life!!
On a Drive with Life, as a collection of short stories, was a concept that passed my mind some 15 years back. Slowly, but with dedication, I have added into the collection. The collection includes love, tragedy, adventure, horror, separation, regret, desire, satisfaction, happiness and all the varied emotions. As the name suggests, the collection aims at taking the readers on a drive with their emotions, such that they share the emotions of the character.
Their feelings are being portrayed as a part of the storyline, that they may have underwent at certain phases in their lives. The essence is to stir the emotions of the reader with unexpected endings. As a collection, the stories are designed to provide a fascinating experience, such that the readers can clear down their memory lanes, and indeed go On A Drive With Life!!
