The Secret Wish List. A tale about following your heart.

Yesterday was another special day. I finally held the copy of my new book 'The secret wishlist' in my hands.


 After I posed for the pic, I promptly burst into tears. Missed my father too much.
It is at times like these, I miss him the most. Yes, I can console myself saying he is watching from up above or wherever, but it just isn't the same. But anyway, there is nothing much I can do, so I quietened up after a while  and resumed with life.

Then my publishers sent me the book-trailer. It is one minute and forty seconds and it so totally captures the essence of the book! Here it is. Do watch it with speakers on :)










 This is a tale about following your heart and it is also about friendship and true love. It also deals with parental expectations. Doing what you want to do versus doing what will make your parents happy. I think at some point in our lives, we always compromise and try and make our parents happy.
Is there a balance? Are there repurcussions?
Why do extra marital affairs happen?
What makes a happy family?
Is there really true love or is it just a chimera?
Why should you speak up for what you believe in?

These are some of the complex issues that the book deals with, as the story unfolds.

Like my previous books, this one too is based loosely on the lives of people I know. (but of course a lot of details have been changed).

Can you guess the two cities in India where this book is set?

Do watch the trailer and leave me a comment.

I shall pick two comments using the random generator and will send you a handmade quilled card in appreciation if you get both the cities right :).

Addendum:

Winners have been picked and announced in a new post. Thanks for taking part!
