My Clouds My Lightning My Dew Drops My Raindrops My Downpour

A man close to death is discovered somewhere in strife-torn Kashmir, alone but for the company of birds, in a decrepit room that is silent but for their agitated songs. Where does 'The Birdman'-as he is named by his perplexed rescuers-belong? In which soil is his misery rooted?Roots are in fact the leitmotif of Heena Singhal's Song of the Reed, inspired by Rumi's poem of the same name, which talks of the lament emerging from the flute, and the longing to unite with its source: the stem from which it is cut and fashioned for the satisfaction of others.The narrative stretches itself over countries and continents, beginning with the experience of Noor, a disillusioned girl of mixed heritage in contemporary Spain, who embarks on a quest for her real home.Meanwhile, bright and beautiful Reva, from an orphanage in New Delhi, also resolves on an energetic hunt for her lost family, reminding herself every step of the way that grieving is a luxury only for the privileged.Somehow, their disparate paths cross, united by their common compulsions. Separately and together, they search for a meaning to the love and hate in their private lives and in the world, coming to realise that in Kashmir, at least, the war between the two is never truly over.About the author:Heena Singhal has a degree from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and a degree in Commerce from The Delhi University. When she is not writing, she is reading, spending time with her girls, painting or choosing the books for her Children's Book Club. She began writing this book when her first daughter was born in 2017 and completed it in 2022 around the time her second one arrived.The Songs of the Reed is her first novel.

Every once in a while, there comes along a book that makes you wonder how the world works in ever so magnificent ways, and makes you think about things that have always floated in your mind, not being able to find a source of answer to hold on to. Ties that bind is a book that talks about relationships between two people, all so different from each other, all utterly beautiful and full of comfort. It tells us that every tie holds a special place in this world, between people, and there is rarely anything that can ever alter that feeling. It tells us to keep hold of people close to us, those who feel like home.

On a heavy, foggy afternoon, Dev looked out the window of his hostel room and saw nothing, just like his future. The fourth and final semester of his master's degree was about to end and he had no idea about what was next. Till now, getting into the next course was always an escape, but now he seemed like running out of ideas, just like his packets of Maggi. Yesterday, Dev's hostel mess closed for winter vacation, and he thought of his future, or the lack of it, and rushed towards Laali's room.'Oye' said Laali to Dev, 'Will you break it or what?' he continued. 'Good you came by; we are out of stock. Just look at the weather, we need it'. Let's go now, it may snow later.Dev nodded in agreement as they had just partied last night and needed another bottle of "Old Monk". Maggi could surely wait.Tonight, maybe the wisdom of 'Old Monk' will provide some insight to my future, which the classrooms of Summerhill university have eluded from me till now, Dev thought.The next day after heavy snow always has clear skies. Will Dev be there to see his future, then?.Welcome to the Winters of Summerhill, a story where you look back and wonder how life opens up. When we realize there are no coincidences in life and everything is connected.
