"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal‘The Ages of Living’ begins with the solemn reality of Noor and Gurmehar, who are on the verge of separation. They are at the edge of the end, the dawn of darkness, beyond which nothing and no one can be repaired. As they stray alone in this familiar land, they begin reminiscing of a familiarly unrecognizable past. Everything around them is redolent of a time in their history which is lost.
As the past unfolds, slowly and gradually, their stories are told. Their timidities, their pain, the uncanny nature of their relationship, and their flawed existence that resembles so excruciatingly the spirit of humanism, is celebrated to the extent that you are compelled to ponder and divulge inquisitively, on the haunting question of what really happened to them.
‘A tale of loving, losing and most importantly, of living.’

The idea for ‘The Ages of Living’ dawned on a chilly, rainy night. She has always been fascinated with the concepts of ‘Tragedy’, ‘Love’ and ‘Moving On’ and hence, the epiphany. While she claims that her characters bear no resemblance to anyone real, there are bits and pieces of certain inspirational humans, reflected in her stories. It is about the people she loved, and the memories she is thankful for.
