About the Book
Laced with cogent sensual visions of ‘straight orientation’ with India as its base, the novella contains the escapades of a man from Punjab living as a ‘forced bachelor’ on ‘punishment posting’ in a state capital of south India. His first love is a tribal woman living in the city for livelihood. Then there are more ‘lilies’ coming his way, in a suspenseful manner; all haunted by the vagaries of grassroots level Indian social norms. The novella portraits the covert play of sensuality in the 'salad culture' of India, whereby the people professing various social groups, present real unity in diversity on sensual front. The focus is on the helplessness of the Indian woman in the face of insurmountable customs, conventions, and traditions created by the ego-centric male chauvinistic society and the extent to which she can go to hoodwink the social pretentions; for self-preservation. The novella contains visions of India’s general scenario as well. It is the story of the common people of India in flesh and blood; for the whole world to know!
About the Author
I was born in a farmer’s family in Multan district of pre-partition India. I served Govt. of Free India, for three and a half decades. My job, as a faceless operative concerning national security under trying conditions, warranted brain-storming use of eyes and ears as well as lots and lots of report writing. I believe, the main goal of human life is happiness without infringing upon the rights of others. For happiness, I live by dividing my time in three modes; past, future and present. I know, the ‘past’ is dead and gone and the ‘future’ is mystery and so I try to live and enjoy life in its ‘present’ mode. Also, I support women's empowerment in India by law. I have selected ‘erotica genre’ of ‘straight orientation’ to give vent to my pent up creativity; visualizing a vast need for the same at the international level. So, because I find an acute shortage of this genre in the ‘literary world’ where the writers take to tight-rope-walking and are mortally afraid of venturing behind the closed bedroom doors. That leaves the reader guessing and disappointed. That brings in the opportunists who feed the reader with flimsy and unnatural material on love and sensuality. Taking Internet as an index of what is available to the inquisitive billions in the name of sensual (also read sexual) activity, I feel there is dire need of decent material. I live in a new city of Indian Punjab namely Zirakpur, evolving near Chandigarh, from which I have taken my Pen Name: Jani Zirakpuria. I respect English as my Professional Language, Hindi as my National Language and Punjabi as my Mother Tongue. Also Urdu, Kashmiri, Dogri, Gojri and Haryanvi are 'treat' for me!
