About Life Stolen

"Life Stolen" by Sudhir Tiku is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that transports readers to different time periods and cultures to explore the themes of love, loss, sacrifice, and identity". - Times Of India

Life Stolen is an unconventional historical fiction which articulates the imperfect imagery of Life, the pain of distance, the meaning of love, the loss of friendship and the joy of that moral sacrifice. The story crosses the intersections of important events of history like the burning of the Library of Alexandria by Julius Caesar, the Trojan war of Greeks, the destruction of the Sun temple of Kashmir and the charm of Persian courts to remind us that history is not a mirror of the past but a window to the future. These past events strangulate the present of two prodigies -Asvin Bhat and Jordan Singh who live in the city of Jammu. They are compelled to make choices which alter their lives forever.

Asvin falls for the yellow eyes of Sren, and Jordan becomes a part-time, cross-country spy. It takes a brutal experience in the jungles of Burma and enabling experience in the land of Kamchatka, for Asvin, to understand that possible meaning of love. The book details how the leanings of the past drive the moral compass of the present to possibly secure the future. And hence, when the great deluge or the great Sah-lab comes to cleanse off the sins of the centuries, Asvin Bhat is motivated to make a choice. He chooses to charter a surprising path, which goes on to redefine the meaning of his and our identity. The story of Asvin Bhat, a young Kashmiri pandit boy, is a ruin, garden, and a river in one go and takes you to inner journey of possible meaning of life and belonging. The great flood in this story is the climax, the end and the possible new start. This can be your story and only read this if you love to find yourself.

Published Works Of Luna. J

A common theme that can be noted in all the writings of J. Luna is the female-centric aspect; either the protagonist is a woman or the strong lead role is that of a woman's. Or the whole plot could even just revolve around a female character(s).

2. God Bless You Devil Kiss You is a cross-genre anthology kindled by various legends and myths, featuring strong-willed heroines such as a rogue infernal Princess, a beautiful beast, a sassy mortal Goddess, a formidable femme fatale, an exiled madwoman, a deadly witch, a monotony-breaking prodigy, a daring heretic, a game-changing legendary Queen, an revolutionary dreamer and many others in alluring and strangely addictive tales of Darkness and Light and everything in between that can transport the readers to faraway lands filled with romance, revenge and redemption.

3. What the Heaven!? is a book of poetry, manifesting magic both beautiful and terrible, these metaphorical and metaphysical poems embrace the Trinity of the Divine Feminine: maiden, mother and crone, and celebrates sisters, daughters and mothers who goes unnoticed and unappreciated in the world of men.

About Relationship: Motley Of Love, Trust, and Emotions

The book titled "Relationship: Motley of Love, Trust, and Emotions" comprises eleven chapters discussing social, political, personal, and human relationships and is getting an overwhelming response from readers, which was published by Anecdote Publishing House and launched in the World Book Fair 2023 in New Delhi.

Humans have a close bond with the natural world and its inhabitants. In this book, Author Mohapatra describes how trust, time, and mutual faith bring happiness to human relationships. A strong relationship exists between "falling in love" and "living with love." Relationships are based on places, people, events, and activities.

The only reason the world exists is to foster healthy relationships based on needs. People occasionally need to evaluate money and time relate to one another. Therefore, "relationship" varies from person to person and place to place. One can refer to it as a need-based relationship or a commercial relationship.

However, human relationships are created over time with a need-based framework "with money" or "without money." The difference between "falling in love" and "living with love" may be temporary or permanent. Love your life while living a life you love. Because you want to live for the one you love, your life has a purpose and fortitude when you're in love. Love improves your health, vitality, and happiness.

This book explores sociological, psychological, and organizational human behaviour to establish good relationships. This book also aims to assist readers in managing the intense stress of relationships because conflict is unavoidable in human interactions.
