My Book - Lockdown : A Journey on fire

LOCKDOWN: A JOURNEY ON FIRE


Initially, I had thought of writing this story for this blog only. But when I started writing, it was not falling under a short story. So I decided to extend it to make a good novel or novella. 
Finally, I completed the story. But there were many hurdles. I was not knowing how to proceed further. 

I was not sure whether there will be ROI.

Hence finally I decided to release my book on my own on kindle.

Thankfully I learned many things in this process about editing, cover design.

Yes, I am still not perfect. It is just a start. 

But I am learning.

But one thing I am very much confident that the story of this book will be liked and will be appreciated.

I am trying to learn the skill of writing to its excellence.  


This is a story of a young couple who were forced to travel from Pune to Agra on foot, an approximate 1000km journey during a complete Lockdown in India.

I have tried to show here our unity in diversity and the culture of gentleness in India.
I have tried to put the emotions of laborers who traveled actually across India to reach their homes with the fear of death due to hunger. 
Corona Pandemic was not their concern. Their concern was hunger as they lost their earning sources. 
I have tried to give justice to their feelings and sufferings.

How much I am successful, you need to tell me.

Please read the book, leave a review on amazon kindle if possible.

The book is available in every platform of ebook on Amazon Kindle.

Please read  and review 👍

Thank you!🙏

    Superb story....I completed reading this book. The story is amazing and very nicely told. There are humourous scenes as well as sensitive scenes which makes this book a complete entertainment but with a sensual touch.

    I read this book. This is a story about migrants who suffered the most due to lockdown.
    I really had no idea of their sufferings. I got this idea after reading this book.

    Even though this story is very much sad, it is explained and told in a very interesting style and funny situations are also very beautifully told.

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice.  As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement.   Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace.  Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...

A Man of Principles

 I was employed by one company. The company had 50 employees. It is a partnership firm. They used to get job work from well-known OEM firms. Customers used to provide the raw materials, and we would process the parts. Then the customers would take back the finished products. In their logistic arrangements, the customer had a system for sending raw material as well as picking up processed material. So our job was to work efficiently because our efficiency was a direct profit to the owner. We used to have a very strict environment in the workplace. There would be a deafening silence when the owner arrived at the company. Nobody dared to say anything in front of him. Everyone used to be afraid of him. People who were new to the company initially despised him. But he had four old employees in whom he had great faith. They used to hold him in high regard. From them, I got to know that the owner is like a coconut. Though outside, he is an  extremely tough person,   he is a...
