The setting sun loosens the reins on imagination. Unshackled by the slipping grip of light on an increasingly quivering reality, the mind perceives the full spectrum of human emotions: the damp fears, poignant hopes, romance, glitz and desires...

Produktbeschreibung
The setting sun loosens the reins on imagination. Unshackled by the slipping grip of light on an increasingly quivering reality, the mind perceives the full spectrum of human emotions: the damp fears, poignant hopes, romance, glitz and desires... Lazy fancy takes hold at eventide after a day of sharp contours and plebeian commerce. The transition brought forth by dusk is marked by moments of perfect tranquility, where sounds take the lower berth and images of nature magnify. The mind goes into ruminations of things extant and unreal, of wistful memories and wishful future. That is when the pen moves of its own accord, and to twist Khayyam, "having writ, moves on"... The 200 verses in this book reflect such peregrinations of the ruminating mind. Following the pattern laid down by "The Ninth Pawn of White - A Book of Unwritten Verses", the present collection ranges over the same structure of poetic thoughts - singlets, couplets, quatrains - all designed to evoke a participative experience in the reader. In isolation, they are hesitant thoughts, uncertain of their own meaning and pith. All they request is the reader's immersion in their figurative pond, making the author's craft invisible. They wish not to convey an experience of cleverness or a flash of emotion at an arm's length; their fulfillment lies in their connection with what the reader's pen seeks to write. If you like Piet Hein's "Grooks" and haiku's, then here is a book with which you will fall in love...
Autorenporträt
"An Engineered Banker with poetic fancies at heart" is how Vijay Fafat describes himself in self-effacing moments. Born and brought up in Mumbai when it was still "Bombay", Vijay spent half his life in the US before migrating to Singapore. Vijay has published 2 books featuring ultra-short short English verses: - "The Ninth Pawn of White - A Book of Unwritten Verses", and - "Quiescence- Musings Against A Setting Sun" He is currently working on a few different writing projects, still learning the craft of it... - a book on Urdu shayari with English translations, - a novel which revolves around the Indian epic, "Mahabharat", - a collection of stories where mathematics, magic realism, mythology, science fiction and metaphysical aspects of the world are central features. - a book of English poems Over the years, he has subconsciously realized that one's profession may provide subsistence, but it is really the moonlighting on your secret passion which sails your spirit. Vijay ardently believes that any form of writing should be immersive, taking the reader on a mind's journey where she feels one with the created word. Whether it is a jolt of Magic Realism story, a set of struggling verses, or even a technical paper, it is the conviction of the writing which is its innate force, its raison d'etre. Vijay enjoys taking leisurely breaks for nature-travel with his family, dragon-boating, reading Borges and Bradbury, indulging in hilarious karaoke sessions, and spreading a lighter mood all around over cups of tea and banter.
