My love for reading, writing and traveling often takes me to different parts of the my country and the world. Interaction with people belonging to various cultures makes me more and more aware of the fact that whatever be the race, whatever be the culture and whatever be the region, the underlying feelings of the people remain same. Each one is a soldier whether in uniform or civil dress. A soldier in uniform is often described as the one who defends the country and who maintains law and order. The same is expected of a person in civil i.e. to defend his/her family, boundaries of his/her house besides being loyal to the country and maintaining law and order in the society. The agony and joy are felt and expressed in the same way but the reasons for reactions to such situations may differ owing to local dissimilarity. Invariably my writings take generality of characters and places which can be easily be identified in real life in any corner of the world.It is important for me to acknowledge immensely supportive my husband Mr. Vinod Gupta in this journey of words for bringing out " I AM HERE ONLY! - Rachna Vinod
Reminiscences of growing up years carry indescribable sentimentality. Apparently invisible, both these emotions, indescribable and sentimentality, influence everyone’s life to a great extent. The life keeps moving on with a mixed bag of pleasant and unpleasant memories. The nostalgic moments, sometimes work as fill in the blanks in vagueness. Many a time, the compulsions in life keep you on toes, moving from place-to-place meeting different people and also becoming closer to them. Even then, it is not easy to forgo and forget your childhood and adolescence period when ignorance to many challenging aspects of adult life, is innocently a bliss. ‘KASHMIR KONNECTIVITY: A BIOSKETCH’ is story of such a person whose association with others, despite the turmoil and tribulations in their respective lives, drew strength from the togetherness they shared during their childhood and adolescence. Embracing life as it unfolds, they nurture no ill-will. While the places mentioned are real, the names of real individuals have been changed to respect their privacy. The events, based on facts, have been somewhat fictionalised. Rachna Vinod
Communication is very important to carry on with day to day activities smoothly. Many a problematic issues are sorted out with proper communication whereas many a problems take place with lack of communication. Words have always played an important role in our interactions since times known. Communication in the form of stories is also a very interesting technique. Invariably the first story teller is a mother. Every story must have happy ending to have lasting appeal. May be in a profession one puts lots of hard work to make it sound perfectly natural but I doubt any professional can make it as convincing as the natural, original way of a mother who while narrating the story instills moral values and thus creates the desired impact. Such stories leave an everlasting impression on the psyche and personality for all years to come. Those stories become unforgettable. Possibly it is either the story or the skill of story teller or combined effect of both. Narrations often combining certain true episodes with imaginative fiction would often have happy ending with goodness prevailing over evil. Happy endings are what every one looks up to and are very appealing and pleasing. BRIDGING THE GAP is a book of seven stories depicting sensitivity of the need for communication among different human relations to carry on happily for happy endings. I must acknowledge the unwavering support from my husband Mr. Vinod Kumar Gupta in this endeav.
