Bites for Muse, not a fast food - Naga Ambale

These are 'our' own stories, with emotional attachments, Intellectual fascinations and affinity to religions and philosophy, cultivated by choice and sometimes by chance factors. In the flux of life, when the essentials of living become important, emotions get folded, the fascinations fade, and the affinities lose lustre. Life moves in predictable trajectory looking for lesser changes. Possibly when the life needs a provoking stir or a shake for refreshing revival or to even induce new perceptions, the need is, 'the solemn moments of solitude muse'; which ' some of these stories' induce. The spread of domains of fine arts including music, poetry, literature, painting touches 'the heart', while the philosophy, religion, spirituality, astrology, social science stimulates the 'dormant mind'. The 'poems' rhyme with emotions, 'the quotes of the best minds' are thought provoking. 'The powerful expressions' signify the conflicts in the characters and the surprise ends in most, stunning often, quench the human need for surprises. The terse and laconic flow with embellishing wit renders a smooth flow, while suggestive of ideas by characters avoids impositions. The author's wish in the foreword summarises his overall intents: 'to illuminate human facets', and 'for an essence to ponder'.
