Take a moment and think of ‘Heer Ranjha’, ‘Soni Mahiwal’, ‘Layla Majnu’ or even ‘Romeo and Juliet’. What do they all have in common? The one glaring answer is that these tales are testimonies of true love. Even though all these stories are fiction, it is safe to assume they must be inspired by real people who lived at some point in history. Perhaps it is this very fictionalization of romance that has our generation so cynical about whether true love of such magnitude can even exist for real.
In this book, Shruti Malik has set out to dispute just that. To honour true love in its raw, vulnerable and exquisite moments, she tells the tale of her late grandparents who not only raised her but were also the source of a beautiful story. Through the heartbreak of losing them, she could think of no other way to pay tribute to them other than by having their lives eternalized in print.
And just like the old masters wrote the tales of ‘Heer Ranjha’ or ‘Romeo and Juliet’, she too wishes to portray the beauty of a love story with the swaying tones of poetic form.
Shruti Malik
Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Shruti Malik is a 22 years old graduate who currently works at Amazon but has always found her heart at writing. She was encouraged to write and think critically by her "Nana" (Late Mr Sohan Lal Dhamija); Being an avid reader himself, he encouraged Shruti to hone her skills as a writer from a young age. Having been influenced by poets like Rumi, Bukowski and Neruda, she feels her poetry is as raw and full of emotions as it could possibly be. Being a young writer, Shruti is direct in her writing and tries to create an allay through her words. Relentless love is an elegiac-ode of emotions. It's a book that has been only a couple of months in writing but for years in making. It takes the reader on a journey of love, adoration, loss, suffering and pain. Shruti hopes that people find comfort in these pages and solace in her words. This book is the start of her journey as a writer and as a woman who continues to find a way to express herself unfiltered.
