The Painter: A Love Story

by Munmun Samanta

Love is an ever elluding shore, the more you try to reach it the more it recedes. The depth of love is so unpredictable that even a dubious heart gets trapped and frustrated into a love-lorn world. The love, once disgraced, ousted the apathetic throne and secure its sceptre with more power and vulnerability. Life is so uncertain, as human emotion.

About the author

If Betty Smith can say, “The world was hers for the reading,” then obviously it is true for someone whose passion takes the first sip of a book to read and relish. As an introvert in nature, Munmun Samanta always finds her secret shade amidst the smell of books and loves to scribble her thoughts in ink and paper. Born in West Bengal, India, by profession she is a teacher of English. Her career as a writer started with college and university magazines and later she rejoined as a Blogger. She started writing in her page: Yellow Chrysanthemum and in her blogs: blogalvina.com and phoenixfabulist.com. Her works get published in various literary magazines and anthologies: “Bridge”, published in November 2020 by Eric Publication celebrates the poets of East and West; Immortal Inkings published by Papermint books publication captures some of her multilayered thoughts in the framework of poetic invasion. In this anthology Cosmic Rainbow by Eric Publication she contributed ten poems, all of which are entirely individual in approach and impulse like the distinct colours of Rainbow. But her prior love is navigated in short stories. Her short stories are published by Sweetycat Press, a US-based publishing house. Later she self-published her short story collections, The Painter and Second Sexes and a novel Life Beyond Love through Kindle Direct Publication.
