edit data

Alka Dimri Saklani is a novelist and author of the much-loved Beyond Series(Beyond Secrets, Beyond Scars, and Beyond Lies). All three novels in the series are standalone. Her debut novel ’45 Days in a Cancer Hospital’ was longlisted for Crossword Books Award 2013.

Her readers define her writing as intense, though she dreams of writing a breezy read someday. She has searched more baby name websites to find names of her characters than she did to select the names of her kids. Sometimes she talks to her characters more than she talks to real people. But believe me she isn’t crazy; she is just a writer.

“The shore knows that the waves belong to the ocean, yet it welcomes the waves with an open arm, whether it comes with a gentle rush or crash against it. I was the shore; you were like the waves.”

“Trying to divert my mind, I look around the tiny living room. The peach of the faded wall reminds me why I hate the colour so much – it reminds me of this home and many other things. I avert my gaze and it lands on the wrinkled brown curtains with a tiny hole at the bottom. I wonder when was it washed last. The sofa set, the centre table, the diwan, everything needs a replacement. Even the memories.”

“Happiness was a shield that veiled me not only from the hardships of the world but also from the real me. When darkness crept in I wandered in search of light. It was on that path that I found the mysteries of life and unravelled a part of my own self.”
