Waiting for love

While waiting for love to bloom again
The heart flounders dangerously

New horizon

A new horizon opening up
With everything changed in life
The darkness ahead long, harrowing
Stumbling forward holding on to faith
Short flickers of hope light the path
Tears washing the dirt covered markers
A sanity preserved by patience's hold
Keeps alive our life's mission.

Have just completed The Breadwinner mini novel. Wrapped up the book in 9 chapters. Need to tweek the last chapter a bit more before I am satisfied to call it complete. This is my first novel and I am determined to make it a good read for all my readers. I hope to continue my writing with another slightly longer mini novel followed by a full scale novel.
I hope to follow the publication of The Breadwinner with an anthology of short stories and another of poems.

Back to blogging.

It has been a busy two months of immersion in the writing of my first mini-novel The Breadwinner. Am into the 7th chapter now. Seeing the publication of the 6th chapter of the mini-novel in weekly serialised episodes in The Free Malaysia Today online media since its start on March 17. http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2013/07/21/the-breadwinner

hello

Back after GE13 break.

Hello

Back from a GE13 break. Good to be back.

Tete-a-tete

Had an interesting two-hour skype session with my daughter in the morning. As usual the subjects ranged from my mini-novel in the making, "The Breadwinner" coming out as serialised episodes in online media, Free Malaysia Today on Sundays (second episode appeared yesterday); creative writing, philosophy, authors, science and nescience etc, etc.
We are chatty persons, the Ramachandran clan.
Maybe we should organise weekly skype conferences involving the whole clan or just a monthly jamming/brainstorming session at each of our homes on a rotation basis.
We definitely have a lot to chat about on our individual development in the writing field, art field, education, philosophy and also the colourful characters from Cheras 2 1/2 mls with whom we had associated/observed, during our growing up time in the area which is now no more.
