Music of Silence

About this ebook
He is an award winner in the all India poetry competition conducted by Deccan Chronicle, a widely circulated daily of India.
This book, Music of Silence is a collection of stories and poems that he wrote at different times.
You will come across a mosaic of characters such as a watchman, a historian, a coolie, a grasshopper, a dark lady, an insomniac all quietly going through the karma of their lives.
However, if you analyze closely you will see that Prakashs writing is essentially about human states of mind, ranging from compassion and gratitude to longing and loneliness to insecurity and sense of absurdity. To his pen, characters are a medium of expression for these states of mind.

Preface
For a long time I had been a quintessential scribbler of random thoughts and spontaneous emotions; never bothering to give them a formal shape, leave alone hoping to publish them.
For one thing, the output of my writings was never voluminous. For another, I never gave them a structure by which you could categorize them as a poem or say, a short story. They were just my impressions about the things that I saw around me. Lives of ordinary people and the myriad expressions of nature were the things that I mostly wrote about.
