The broken heart of the Prince: Synopsis




Hello guys! Today I am posting the synopsis of my next book THE BROKEN HEART OF THE PRINCE. Read and review. :)

Prince Miuto was a seemingly regular young prince of the kingdom of Peaceland until his heart broke on his fateful twentieth birthday due to a birth curse and got scattered to different places allover the globe. Now it is up to the royal youngsters - Tutu, Clare and Faqeer - to go on a quest to find the shards of his heart and restore it.

But the quest is challenging.
The path is tough.
And the time is short.

Most importantly, what do they have to encounter to fulfill their noble duty when they themselves are unaware of the ancient dark forces which secretly rule their world from a different dimension?

Let's find out in THE BROKEN HEART OF THE PRINCE. Smiles! Find out foreword here.

Rant of a frustrated fellow-Hijabi


NOTE: I wrote this piece back when I was still a Muslim. I have, since then, left my religion and do not agree to most or all of what is written here. However, these posts are very much part of my life and helps understand the changes I went through. That's why, I am against deleting them. 

Hijab with seductive looks is utterly ridiculous. It destroys the sole purpose of establishing hijab in the first place. Girls, change your attitude, please. You don't have to be seductive in public to prove that you are beautiful and sexy. Save all your "talents" for that one special person only. Trust me, it will be worth it. 

And a message for the guys, don't judge a girl by her looks or her curves. There's always more to it than meets the eyes.
Sorry if I sound preachy. But it just frustrates me when I see how people are displaying rules of Islam in the wrong light.

May Allah bless us all and guide us through the right path.

The broken heart of the Prince: Foreword

Here is a foreword to my upcoming book THE BROKEN HEART OF THE PRINCE.


Observing the great number of avid anime-fans in our country I felt like this book may create some controversies since the contents of this book are part original story and part fanfiction.

The story is loosely based on my all-time favorite anime Princess Tutu, which was written by the absolutely brilliant Mizuo Shinonome and the series was directed by Junichi Sato and Shogo Koumoto.

I will not talk about the plot of the anime, but you must check the anime out if you like less-violent, descriptive, highly-fantastical and thoughtfully-genius anime series. Because it's really good.

Once again my sincere apologies to the fabulous author and directors of this wonderful anime. It's too good to be left alone without making a fan fiction about it.

Finally, even though you hear it from all writers, I still hope you readers enjoy my book as much I enjoyed writing it. Smiles!


A day-off from duties



Here is my second story. I hope you will enjoy it.

Princess Marybella was highly astonished when she saw what her father, the King, brought for her as her birthday present. It was her fourteenth birthday. From the past few days, she was looking forward to this day. Her parents had been telling her that she was going to get a pleasant surprise on her birthday; and she was expecting something like that.
But when she saw her present, she was not that pleased. Her father had brought her a fifteen-year old young lad as a gift.
    “Happy birthday, sweetheart.” the King grinned at his daughter. “Meet Remus – your birthday gift.”

Marybella stared at her present with disbelief. It was not something that came in a pretty box with wrapping paper and ribbons, which was exactly what she was expecting. How could a human be wrapped inside a box? The young lad, Remus, was smiling an enthusiastic smile at her. He bowed as if he were trained these formalities before. Unwillingly, Marybella curtsied. It was her duty to curtsy when someone bowed before her. But she also did not forget to stick her tongue out at him when her parents were looking away. Remus winced and frowned at this but did not say anything.

Interview with the Vampire: Review and Spoilers

The edition I own

Vampires have always fascinated me. I mean, who doesn’t like a good vampire novel or film; their mysterious treading through darkness and mist? A few days back I finished reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and the book left me starving for more vampire books. That’s when I picked up Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, the first book in her Vampire Chronicles series. She was my first choice because she is termed as the perfect descendent of Stoker and after I finished reading her book, I knew why, and I was not disappointed.

Rice has all of Stoker’s quality in describing the atmosphere and to churn out the perfect and mysterious setting for her story. But she also has her unique voice at presenting her story which distinguishes her style from Stoker’s at a far different level. Rice is excellent and perfect in her own way. Today I will focus more on her writing style and will try to control myself from comparing her with Stoker. But before going on with that, I must say if Stoker’s Dracula leaves you empty from inside, you can definitely look forward to Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, even though you will notice a considerable amount of differences between the two prolific authors right from the first page.

Plot 
The story is about a young man called Louise de Pointe du Lac, who claims to be a vampire to a young male reporter known only as “the boy” throughout this book. He confesses his story of how he became a vampire and what happened after that to this young reporter who interviews him.

The Maiden and the Angel



Once there lived a beautiful country-maiden called Floradale. She was the possessor of a breathtaking beauty if compared to the other maidens. She used to gather strawberries from the forest nearby her little hut. One day, when she was roaming in the forest, she became thirsty. As she went to the nearby stream, she saw the most amazing sight of her life.

She saw a man; not just an ordinary man, but a man with two pearl-white wings. He had the most beautiful face Floradale ever saw a man to have. He was glowing, and that was how she understood that it was none other than the prince of the angels - Kyanus. He did not wear a halo like the other angels. But behind his ears, he wore a pair of floral wreaths. Floradale got planted in her position when she found that Prince Kyanus was also staring at her from the other side of the stream, with the same fascination. He smiled and bowed, making her curtsy involuntarily.

A sneak peek of Prophecy



Shinigami of fear

Here is a poem I have written exclusively for Prophecy: A tale of two sisters. Sung through Marude's voice, this poem is given below.




From the sea, to the shore,
With heart as dark as apple core,

The one shall rise for a day.
You must face her; stand at bay.



Let not fear turn you dumb;
Let not senses turn too numb.
For it all depends on you;
Marude is my name and this is my clue:
Only the bravest one shall win
And save the world from her wicked twin.


Here I give a free advice,

Follow your heart and everything nice.
Your heart shall tell you what is right.
Use your mind more than might.


Let me know if you liked it. Love!
