Splendours of Love : A Collection of Love Stories

Splendors of Love contains love stories quite different from the stories we come across in Anglo-Indian literature in the sense that they make the readers realize different experiences of life with greater intensity. Love in these stories awakens the spark lying dormant in soul for a long time. The protagonist does not fall in love with another person but he instinctively feels that he is already in love so deeply; only it dawns upon him. This mystical love unfolds by and by as the reader moves with the character and it deepens the moments of realization. Characters are not rash in their behavior; they are not impulsive; they are not in a hurry to get their love or to meet in this world. They are struck by something in their heart of hearts and then feel its soothing flow in each pore. It flows freely from depth the way fragrance from the flower or drizzles come from the grey sky to quench the thirst of the earth; it has a process and it takes its own time to mellow. In these stories love just peeps out I must say and at times at the end. The reader is left utterly in pleasant surprise and he goes thinking about the graceful movement of love. This is the wonderful technique the writer has employed deftly. Next brevity is another characteristic of these stories. These small details help the character to feel the flow of love.
