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.

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...

Forgiveness is happiness

I came back from the office at 11 pm. I was very tired and wanted rest. Today only I had salary and cash was there in my wallet. After freshen up, I just had dinner and slept.  Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door.   “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door.  “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied.  “500,” he said.  I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet.  Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.  I immediately asked my younger brother, “ Hey Sam, have you taken money from my wallet?”  He replied “ no,”  I thought “ Ok, I might have lost somewhere.”  But, I doubted Sam as I found his eyes were telling a different story. I decided to watch him. The next day, I found that again Cash is less. Now my suspect became stronger and I just decided to keep watch on him. As it was a holiday, we sta...

Truth is stranger than fiction.

My boss, Anant, was of mid-thirty. He was a good guy and a jolly person. We were three in the office.  Myself Karan, working as a trainee engineer. And an assistant named Vaibhav. Whatever work was there, we used to distribute and do the work. But many times, we used to go to customer or vendor sites; there would be nobody in the office. So, Anant decided to have a receptionist for the office. He explained to us, “She will handle office documents and call management.” He told me to give an advertisement in a local newspaper in Pune. I and Vaibhav immediately completed the job. Boys will be boys. Both of us were very happy with the idea that one girl would be there with us for the next few days in the office.  Finally, the day of interviews came and one by one girls started entering for interviews. Anant had selected few girls for the interview. Vaibhav and I, both were so excited that we told Anant that there is no appointment with any customer as well as vendor. W...
