Publisher's Synopsis
Conversations of the Past is a compilation of 32 sonnets that capture a conversation each from our ancient history, be it from the Shiv Puran, the Ramayan or the Mahabharat. Each conversation is carefully chosen to shine a spotlight on a buried treasure -a hidden nugget that may have been overlooked in the frequent narration of the epics - so if you haven't heard of Ram's only sister Shanta, or delved deep into the first love story between Shiv and Parvati, or ever been acquainted with Shakuni's past - you will enjoy reading these poems. Each poem has a prologue that sets the context for the conversation captured in it so that the book becomes a unique amalgam of superlative prose and poetry. It effortlessly takes the reader into a journey of unknown incidents from our rich cultural heritage that lay submerged until now and is perfect for readers of all age groups and is sure to delight both: those who already pride on being well versed with our ancient history and those who have just the basic knowledge of our scriptures and want to know more.
