This is just a jumbled mishmash of my
writings. There is no order to time or order
to anything else for that matter. It is nothing, but my olla podrida of
creating something out of nothing. I feel I am quite a past master at it after
having self-published six other books of a similar nature. But I am no author,
maybe just a soi-disant one.
I write when I am given to wild bouts of
enthusiasm. This is usually triggered off when I am in my most melancholy or sombre
moods. So Awakenings of the Heart is
just a collection of my wild ramblings where I write of my experiences, places
I have been to, a few people I have met or observed in my life. I have
disguised everything and it does not point to anyone in particular.
The book is so named because I have
awakened to a lot of things – most importantly that I have changed. I have
become more confident of myself. I am not afraid to write. I am not looking for
any accolades. I write to enjoy myself. I hope you would enjoy with me in my
simple writings. Just read it and do not judge it according to any literary
standards. Do not trash it either if you dislike it, but pass it on to someone
who might like it.
This book is dedicated to those who have
treated nobody me like somebody and to those who have persistently asked me, “When’s
your next book coming out?” It is more, especially, to those who have been very
kind and tremendously generous to me.
